ffBATHTUB" TRUST DECLARED
ILLEGAL BY HIGH COURT
U. S. Supreme Tribunal Unanimous in

Washington, Nov. 20.-In an epoch
making decision in the so-caIled bath
tub trust" case, the Supreme court
of the United States laid down the
broad principle that there can be no
monopoly in the unpatented product
of patented machine without violat-
ing the Sherman antitrust law.
Justice McKenna delivered the
unanimous opinion of the court. He
said that rights conferred by patents
were extensive, but did not give uni
Versal license against the positive pro
hibitions of the Sherman law
The decision fully sustained the gov
eminent in its fight begun over a year
ago against the bath tub and enameled
ware manufacturers.
The decision of the lower court was
upheld throughout as to the main de-
PENDANTS and the Caldwell Lead com
pany, which claimed it was not en-
gagged in interstate commerce.
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 fifty defendants named had
entered into a combination to restrain
interstate trade in sanitary enameled
frOnwaTe and had attempted to monop-
OliZe that trade.

defendants are charged with using the
mails to promote criminal medical

The ten local defendants were ar

coo each.
This concerted official action COW
cred the entire United States from

been gathering its evidence for
weeks. Some of the men arrested are
said to stand high in local circles, but
most Of them are obscure practition-

Action in Supreme Court.
DECISION TO BE IMPORTANT
City and County Jointly Fight High
Court Suit-Contest Obligation to
Pay Over Fines and Penalties Col
lected in Distant Past.

Mad!son.-ProbabIy the most
noted Issue raised in the supreme
court in recent hearings is that in
vOlved in the case OF the state Of Wis
consin against the county and city Of
Milwaukee. a suit by the state to re
cover from the defendants a large
sum Of money alleged to belong to
the trust funds o. the state, arising
from the proceeds Of fines and penal
ties fer violations of the penal laws
OF the state.
Whether the statute Of limitations
can be pleaded against the state when
it sues in its capacity as a trustee OF
a fund created by the constitution is
the real point at issue and was ar
gued in the court by the attorneys
for the city and county of Milwaukee
and the sta e.
The question is vital because upon
its determination may depend the
welfare Of all the trust funds of the
state, not only now but in the future
The amount involved in the pres
ent issue is $22O.782.4S, together
with interest running on a part of it
since 1859, almost half a century. A
half million dollars probably is the
total amount of the claim of the
state.

Case Is Far Reaching.

JanesVille.-What promises to be
the most far reaching murder trial
ever held in Rock county has started
in circuit court with the arraignment
of Edward Meyer and Harry Berger.
aged II and 10 years.
On the night of September 80, Til
lie Bergsterman, aged IS, living with
her father in little house south of
the city in what is known as the
Monterey district, was assaulted and
foully murdered. The father mott
fed the police of the crime the fol-
lowing morning after having sat in
the room with the dead body of his
daughter all night He was prompt
ly arrested and it was believed that
he had attacked her while drunk and
the girl had died from blows re-
ceived in her struggle. a post NOR
tenn examination of the remains re-
vealed the assault and two days
later the youths, Meyer and Berger,
were arrested, charged with the
crime. 1t awoke public sentiment to
such an extent that in every church
a demand was made for new ordi-
nances to protect the youths of the
city and as a direct result the Com
mittee of Fifteen led by Judge Sale
of the county probate court, visited
the council in body, supported by
$50 citizens, and demanded enforce
ment of the law. First came the
adjustment of all slot machines, dice
games from saloons, poolrooms and
cigar stands. Then the diserderly
women were ordered out of the city
and stringent saloon regulations
passed relative to women in saloons.

MAY COLLECT DRINK BILLS
Wisconsin SaIoonkeepers VIII Ask
Legislature TO Pass New Law
al the Next Sc sion.

Milwaukee. - Wisconsin saloon
keepers intend to ask the next Iegis-
Iature for the right to proceed with
punishment action against delin-
quent customers, according to John
Langan, president Of the Wisconsin
Retail Liquor Dealers association.
Mr.. Langan states that the eXecu-
tive committee of the state associa-
ton has decided to ask the legisIa-
ture to enact such a law, and also
to pass a bill investing the license
granted by any municipality in the
saIoonkeeper himself, and not in the
building in which he conducts a sa-
loon, to make it possible for the pro-
prietor to move, should he so desire,
without asking for a new license.
In regard to punishment proceed
ings, President Langan holds that
the liquor, business is as legitimate
as any other, and that the saloon
keeper should have as much right to
collect his bills under the law as
grocer or butcher. Another meeting
will be held on December 4.

While the armies at Tcbatalja we're

outcome Of which IS in doubt, owing
to conflicting reports from CONSTANT

Sofia reports the Turkish cruiser hit

There is still a strong possibility of
the BuIgarians making an entry into
Constantinople and the powers are

such an eyentuaity. France took the
initiative by notifying the Turkish
government that she would hold Tur-

masked maniac. armed with an infer

tity of dynamite, a bottle Of nitro

the occupants Of the Central police
station at bay for an hour on Tuesday
and created a panic among hundreds

When Detective James HOstck
knocked the man unconscious with a

him, the fuse of the internal machine
was ignited automatically.
Without thinking of the consequence
Detective Samuel L. Brown carried
the box outside, the fuse spluttering
and splitting sparks, and hurled it into
the street
Through a freak of chance there
was no explosion, and Brown contin-
ued kicking the sticks of dynamite and
jumping on the fuse until he had bro

the fire.
