SAYS NO TRUST EXISTS.
Supreme Court Declares U. S. Failed
to Show Coal Combine.

Supreme Court Declares U. S. Failed
to Show Coal Combine.
Washington, Dec. 18.-The Supreme
court Of the United States on
Monday cancelled as violatiYe OF
the Sherman antitrust law, the
contracts by which railroad-owned
coal companies in the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite fields had pur-
chased the output for all time of Gin
dependent mines" The charge OF a
general combination was not sus-
tanned.
Attorney General Wickersham ex-
pressed the belief that the decision
will so completely destroy the COM
bination which now controls the price
Of anthracite that it must result in
a distant measure of relief to the
public"
The case was brought by the gov
eminent against the Reading and 9th
er railroads, charging them with lille
gal combination to control the price
of anthracite, and with having con-
spired to shut out competing lines,
said act being in restraint of inter.
state commerce

BEET SUGAR FATAL TO BEES
University Professor Declares There
Is Chemical in Product Which
Kills the Insects.

Madiaon.-That beet sugar is IA
tai to bees and cane sugar is not is
the conclusion of Prof. J. G. Sanders
at the department of entomology,
University of Wisconsin, who next
semester will have charge of a new
beekeepers' course at that institution.
OF the 40 per cent OF the bees of the
state which died last year, a large
percentage were starved, he says. He
believes that bees can live on cane
sugar, but die at once if fed on beet
sugar The danger to bees in beet
sugar, he believes, arises from some
chemical constituent that makes it
deleterious He said the time is COM
ing when an investigation will be
made, and intimated he would not be
surprised If beet sugar was found to
be harmful to human beings.

COURT BARS DIVORCES.
illinois Tribunal Holds Marriage With
In Year of Decree Is ILLEGAL.

III rear OF OGCTSC is tilGSdi'
Springfield, Ill, Dec. 19-When
person violates the statute prohibiting
remarriage within one year after di-
vorce, the remarriage is not legal, even
if performed in another state, and one
party to the Illegal marriage has no
claim upon the estate of the other.
This opinion was handed down by
the supreme court. The court says
that in some states, where the remar-
riage of only the party at fault is pro-
hibited, the law has been construed as
penal and having no extra territorial
effect. In Illinois, however, as in Wis
consin, no part of its purpose is to
punish a wrongdoer, for it treats the
innocent and guilty alike. It is held
positive policy of the state for the,
protection of morals and the good or
der of society against serious social
evils
