 Amidst some truths, MT. Winslow presents half-truths and statements, some false, others grossly mislead- ing" He repeated the charge that Plant. the trusts only dangerous com petitor, was compelled to sell out when the trust bought his notes for S1, ,5O0,O00 and refused to renew them. While this sale was being negotiated, Brandeis in his letters, says he met one of the directors and told him the purchase of the concern would be a ''flagra violation of the sherman Antitrust Law"
 In 1906, Brandeis wrote, while act ing as counsel for the trust, that he thought its methods neither legally nor morally objectionable. Later, he became convinced, he says, that the trust methods would prove injurious both to the trust itself and to the public. When the trust refused his services, in 1907, he resigned both as director and counsel.

MEXICAN CITY SEEMS SURE

 Rebels
Special from United Press.)

Fl Paso, Feb. 26-The fate of Juarez will probably be decided by nightfaIl.
 With a force of seven hundred reb- els already encamped at Bauche, 12 miles south of Juarez under com- mand of Colonel Emilio Campa and 1000 more under Colonel Antonio Ro- jas and Inez ZalaS are en route there, the capture of the city by the Vas quistas seems certain.
 Although Campa declares Juarez will not be attacked until after prop CT notice has been given and a de- mand has been made for the towns 8 surrender, there is a feeling that the three rebel leaders may advance at any moment. Colonel Campa told newspapermen that the combined reb- el force would advance as soon as
 Campa declared the Vasquista forces have about 1000 cavalry and TOO infantry which will attack Juarez. They have five field guns. He pre- dcited after the surrender of Juarez, the rebel army will have a small gar. rison at Juarez and proceed south to Mexico City.
 Ciudad Juarez has only about 300 armed citizens.
 Colonel Steever, commanding the United States troops here. ordered practically his whole force to patrol the border and be prepared for emer- gencies in event of a battle across the river. Special trains bearing the 22nd United States infantry and a battery of field artillery from Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, arrived today.
 Juarez is just over the American boundary inc being the nearest Mex ican town of any size to the United States.
