RULE OF REASON
IN BRIDGE CASE
St. Louis Bridge Company
Must Permit Competing
Lines to Use it.

Washington. April 23.-By the ap-
plication for the first time of the rule
OF reason" defined last May in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions.
the supreme court Of the United States
today decided that the Terminal Rail.
road association Of st. Louis was re-
straining and monopolizing traffic
across the Mississippi river in violation
OF the first and second sections of the
Sherman antitrust law. The associa-
tion was organized by Jay Gould and
others in 1889.
| Instead of dissolving the cembina-
ton outright. the order provided for
an alternative reorganization of the
company under specific conditions.
This decree was likewise based on the
language in the Standard Oil and to-
bacco cases that in determining the
| remedy 1t should be remembered that
the statute struck at undue" re-
straint of trade.
Repeatedly the court said that its
decision did not apply to terminal
companies in all cities. 1t was said
that these acted as facilities instead of
restraints unless company did not
act as the impartial agent of all. BY
reason Of the Typographical conditions
at St. Louis and the associations
method of exercising the power within
its grasp the court found that the law
had been violated in this particular
case.
ut is not cortended." said Justice
Lurton. in announcing the opinion
that the unitication of the terminal
facilities of the great cities where
many railroad systems center is under
all circumstances and conditions a
combination in restraint of commerce.
Whether it is facility in aid of in
terstate commerce or an unreasonable
restraint forbidden by the act of con-
gress. as construed and applied by
this court in the Standard Oil and to-
bacco cases, will depend on the intent
to be inferred from the extent of the
control thereby secured over instru-
mentalities which such commerce is
under compulsion of use. the method
by which such control has been
brought about and the manner in
which that control has been eXerted."

MRS CHAFFEE'S
VIVID STORY

on the Titanic. and whose husband is
in st. Paul yesterday and went to the
Auroro avenue. st. Paul. She left
last night for Armenia.
Mrs. Chaffee were hurrying to this
country to arrive In time to greet the
expected grandchild in the Aurora
avenue home. The grandchild was
born Saturday night, but will never
be seen by the grandfather unless the
elder Mrs. Chaffee's prayers come
true.
Happy Over Baby.
There is great happiness in baby's
arival." said the newly widowed wo-
man..
she showed the emotional strain Of
her experience. She shuddered
often as she talked and a number
Of times her voice broke as she re-
called bitter recollections. She is
wearing the same suit in which she
had been placed in the lifeboat on the
Titanic while her husband remained
her wrist was little timepiece which
also had licked on through the hours
Of the wreck.
No One on the Bridge.
Then Mrs. Chaffee told Of an in
cident in connection with the. wreck
that had not been brought out be-
fore. and one apparently that is of
extreme Importance.
"One Of the few Titanic officers
who were picked up by the Carpathia.
was the lookout who was on duty at
the time we grounded on the berg.
This man told me that he sighted the
iceberg in plenty, Of time to have re-
versed the engines and stopped the
ship before the collision.
/ "'I signalled the bridge for full
stop he told me, but received no
response. There was no one on the
bridge at the time We struck"
Mrs. Chaffee probably will offer
this testimony before the senate in
