President elect Will Give State Busi
 ness His First Attention.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 16.-After a months leisure and recreation in the Bermuda Islands, Woodrow Wilson returned home tonight and took up in earnest the many tasks that confront him ip his dual role as governor of New Jersey and president-elect of the United States.
 Thousands of letters awaited MT Wilson's arrival, and though most Of them concerned his national admins traitor the president t-elect made 1t clear that he was still governor and intended to devote his energies now to state business. MT. Wilson said he would defer office filling and an nouncements concerning his admins tration until after he had cleared away the accur7llated detail of his New Jersey office.
 MT. Wilson may remain governor of the state until about March 1st, only few days before he must go to Washington. This is because he wish es to finish his programme of legisla- ton pending in the state legislature which convenes Jan. 14.
 With respect to his cabinet, MT. Wilson said today he had not made any final selections.
 MT. Wilson said he realized that DeKore Qecldlng upon me personnel Of his cabinet he would have to determine just what type of cabinet he would form, He recognizes two types from a review of the manner in which his predecessors have met this question. One type Is the political cabinet, con structed from party material that must in a sense be rewarded in order to preserve party harmony. The other is characterized by MT. Wilson as the personal cabinet, made up of men whose business fitness is known to him personally and on whose judg- ment he would like to lean.

GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE COMMERCIAL MESSAGES,
Wireless Station at Key West Opened
 for Business Last Night.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The first gov ernment wireless station to be opened for the regular receipt of commercial messages is that at Key West, Fla, which by orders of the navy depart ment begins tonight at midnight to handle such business. This Is in ac- cordance with the recent act of con- gross which provided that commercial business should be handled at naval and army wireless stations when there was no commercial station within 100 miles.
 The Key West station has a power ful range practically covering the gulf and the Caribbean sea and the many points of the various West In dian group of islands. It also will be the main point of wireless communi- cation with steamships bound to and rom Cuba, Panama, and Central and South America
 The rates of the government will be he same as those charged by eom- narcial companies, with minimum 1f Lsn words in a despatch. twenty erts per word for the ship and sta ion charge, four cents additional per ord for the cable line from Key West :o the mainland, and the usual land .a:egraph charges to the point of des- -ipation. All messages must be pre- paid, as the Berlin wireless conven- lion provides against collect messages or for messages agreeing to make payment if responsive despatch is sent. The moneys received at the Key West station will be turned into the treasury to appear hereafter as miscellaneous receipts.
 Later the same system will be ex- tended to other government wireless stations on the South Atlantic and Pacific coasts, Porto Rico and Alaska. Heretofore some of these stations have handled private messages. largely as a matter of accommodation and without charge. but now it will be a regular business.

of and with the intent, not of normally and lawfully developing trade, but of restraining interstate commerce and lawfully developing trade, but of re- straining interstate commerce and competition in transportation, which would have presumably come about through the construction and operation of the proposed competing line of rail- road between the mines and tidewater.
 Railroad Coal Contracts.
 The court holds that certain con tracts made with producers covering between 20 and 25 per cent. of the total annual supply of coal, known as the 35 per cent. contracts, by which such independent producers bound themselves to deliver the output of their mines or any other mine which they might acquire, to the railroad companies for 65 per cent. of the aver age market price at tidewater, were also void because in violation of the antitrust act as abnormal and il- legal restraints upon interstate eom- merce.N
 Courts Decision Unanimous.
 Justice Lurton announced the unan- imous opinion of the court which for the purpose of this case, consisted of only six members. Justice Day took no part in the decision because of his absence from the bench when the case was argued in October, 1911. Justice Hughes refrained from participating in the action of the court, because he was a special assistant to the attorney gen. eral when the coal business was first investigated by the government. Jus tice Pitney was not on the bench when the case was presented to the court.
 Lower Courts Finding Upheld.
 The suit was sent back to the judges of the court in which 1t originated, the circuit court for eastern Pennsyl- vania, kbr the enforcement of the de- eision. The finding of the lower court was upheld, except as to the contracts with the independents.
 The railroads concerned in the case were the Philadelphia and Reading. the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western, the Cen tral railroad of New Jersey the Erie, and the New York, Susquehanna and Western.

Washington. Dec. 16.-The supreme court of the United States today can- celled as violatiVe of the Sherman antitrust law the contracts by which railroad owned coal companies in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields had pur- chased the output for all time of fin 6ependent" mines.
 Attorney General Wickersham in a statement tonight expressed the be- lief that the decision will so com pletely destroy the combination which now controls the price of anthracite that it must result in a distinct meas ure of relief to the public" Nc Combination to Restrict Output
 Shown.
 The court also ordered the dissolu- tion of railroad control of the Temple Iron company by which the princi- pal railroads and their coal com panies were found to have strangled a project to put a competing railroad into the anthracite fields in 1898 and by which monopolizing schemes could be put into execution handily in the future.
 The government failed, the court held, to show a general combination" to apportion the amount of coal to be put upon the market annually by lno NdIlOu6 IOdOS. 1u6 government S other charges as to a general combin- ation were characterized as 'indef- nite."
 Minor Cases Dismissed.
 Minor combinations were held to have been improperly included in the petition of the government and the proceeding against them was dismissed without prejudice to other actions by the government. Attorney General Wickersham was not prepared today to say whether he would direct new proceedings against these alleged com binations.
 Railroads Violated Law.
 The court finds that the principal defendants did combine for the purpose of shutting out from the dependent line of railroads, the New York, Wyo- min gand Western railroad, and to ac- complish that purpose it is found that the stock of the Temple Iron company and of the Simpson and Watkins col heries, was acquired for the purpose
