been heard from Dean Herbert E.
Ryle who has jurisdiction over the
burials in Westminster abbey, as to
whether the body of the late Gen. Will
liam Booth of the salvation army is to
be offered a sepulcher in the abbey.
Dean Ryle at present is in Scotland.

offer may be declined even should ii
be rendered, it may be made by the
authorities.
Canon Herbert Henson of westmin-

Dealers In Enameled Goods Are Ae'
cused Of Violating the Sherman
Antitrust Law-Justlce Mekenna
Delivers Opinion.

Washington. Nov. 20.--By enamel
ing license agreements" which hold
manufacturers OF sanitary enameled
| ironware together in the combination
known as the "bathtub trust" the
Supreme court OF the United States
delivered a death blow Monday ut
violations OF the Sherman antitrust
law under the cloak OF the protection
OF the patent laws
Justice McKenna delivered the
unanimous opinion OF the court He
. said that rights conferred by patents
were extensive against the. positive
prohibitions of the Sherman law. The
decision fully sustained the govern
ment in its fight begun over year
ago against the bathtub and enamel
ware manufacturers.
The fight against the enameled ware
manufacturers was begun by the gov
eminent in the United States district
court OF Maryland. it being charged
that the 80 defendants named had
brought about a combination 10 re-
strain interstate trade in sanitary en-
ameled ironware and had attempted TO
monopolizs that trade. Sixteen OF the
defendants were corporations.
One Of the individual defendants
was Edwin l.. Wayman, with whom
the corporate defendants and their Of
ficials were charged with having made
illegal agreements. in effect licenses,
for the use of a patented enameling
tool. Wayman was to refund part OF
the license fee IL the manufacturers
had not violated any condition OF the
agreements. among those conditions
being one that they would not sell TO
any jobber who did not sign a con-
tract not TO buy from anyone other
than the corporate defendants. and an
other that they would not sell ut
lower price or on more attractive
terms than those named in a schedule
OF prices attached to the agreement.
The lower court held that the agree
ments destroyed competition and fixed
prices in violation OF the Sherman
law The lower court prohibited the
defendants from attempting further to
restrain trade by means OF these
agreements.
Justice McKenna, in announcing the
decision OF the Supreme court. called
attention to the effectiveness OF the
