ANTITRUST LAWS BITTERLY ATTACKED Attorneys for Bath Tub
 Trust" File Defense POSSIBL E E. IL Counsel Protests Against Rule of Possible Evil-Allege Illegal Com-
 bination Is Benefit
 Instead of Harm

Washington September 23-The venom of anarchy could not elaborate more enervating, paralyzing prescription than the Sherman antitrust law translated literally, declared attorneys for the so- called bath tub trust in defense of that organization filed today with the supreme court of the United States. Their brief constituted the opening of the fight before the highest tribunal over the find ing or the federal courts in Maryland that the enameled ware companies of that state were violating the Sherman antitrust law. The question will be argued orally in October
 Combination Benefit
 Herbert Noble, Henry D. Estabrook, and Hartwell P Heath, whose names ap- pear as counsel for the defendants, ar- eued in the brief that the alleged illegal combination had been a benefit instead of an evil to the public. It referred to the contention that the combination pos- sessed the power to do evil, even if it had not done so.
 We respectfully protest against the riiie of possible evil," said the attorneys. The rule that the mere power to do evil is the equivalent to the actual doing of it, would make potential bomb throwers of us all. The law may not punish any one for the wrong he might do if he were go disposed It is very Nero of jealous tyranny that would so take counsel of it's fears"
 lt was contended that if the Sherman law were it to be interpreted accarding to it's rhyme and not it's reason, it would be the righteous duty of every lawyer to cir cumvent the Sherman act, if 1t can be &C., complished According to these attor- neys, the true construction of the law is that it does not condemn fair and req sonable attempt to avoid loss by means of trade agreements where intended to prevent nothing, but the cutting of rates below reasonable profit, Furthermore, that In forbidding monopolization, the act did not mean to prohibit simply the complete occupation of a field. if the occupation may be accomplished fairly.
 Reply to Supreme Court
 The technical argument in the case was based largely upon the mmeograph dic- tation of the supreme court last spring. From this the attorneys argued that the owner of a patent has the right to such conditions as in regard to the trusts.
 The lawyers denied that the license sys- tenn was mere scheme to circumvent antitrust law. They defended the patent laws, saying they protected new inven- tions. The object of the manufacturers in entering into the agreements. 1t was explained was to improve the quality of the ware and keep "seconds'' off the mar ket. None of the acts of the defendants. it was added had been directed toward enhancement of prices, limitation of out put, deterioration of quality, intimidation, coercion or fraud, the clements spoken of by Chief Justice White in the Standard oil and Tobacco decisions as evils toward which the Sherman antitrust law was directed.

pr. R. M. Cunningham of Ensley will be asked to enter the race for commits sioner of the city of Birmingham. A number of business men of the city have stated that they will urge the former lieutenant governor to be a candidate. and it is likely that a delegation will wait upon the doctor at an early date.
 pr. Cunningham is out of the city at present and no expression can be se- cured as to his probable answer until his return. He is very popular here and would have strong following, not only in Ensiey, but all over Greater Birming- ham.

feeders, which have Jagged a little heretofore, getting up considerable steam. Prices are 15 to 9 higher than Monday, and buyers are early in the saddle. The winters crop of beef is not only eight per cent short in numbers, at all the mar kets, from last year, but the aver age weight of animals this year is two to four per cent short of the average weightsa year ago. With nothing but a bare spot ahead, it is small wonder that buyers do some hard riding these days. Native steers sold at $8.10 to $S 15 here yesterday, western steers at $735, and top quarantine steers this week brought $7.25. Prime heavy cows go up to $6.25, fancy heifers $6.50 to $700, and medium class animals in each class sell quickly only a comparatively small distance below the top notchers. Illinois feeders paid $7.45 for near fat steers this week, for a short feed, and $6 % to $6.80 was paid for long term feed
 CTS, s5.25 to $6 40 for stock steers. It is possible that considerable influx of cattle may appear next week, but it's dent in the market if it makes one will soon be mended.

cattlemen, as the big falling off is not regarded az permanent. Buy. CTS had most urgent needs this week, and they broke forth yester- day with a shout of exultation that reached the heavens. When they quit, p to 35 cents had been added to values, and this big advance is sticking today. Several lots sold at the top today, $7.60, and bulk of sales today ranged from $7 9 to $755. The appearance of liberal supplies might cause a break next week, but high prices are counted on for some months ahead.
 Sheep received here this week 40, 400, last week 39,300, same week last year 50,300. Buyers suddenly acquired a most intense love for mutton this week, and prices have jumped up 90 to 50 cents. The affection seems lasting, for the highest prices of the week were paid for lambs today, $7.75. Wethers bring $500, ewes $5.70. A good many Colorado lambs have gone through here to Illinois rail- road feed yards, for term of feed- ing, where they will be sheared. The move was caused by lack of feed at home, and points to reduced supplies here during the next thirty days, and markets cores. pondingly strong.

Readable Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona.

Yuma Sun: Ed. Hodges came home from Cananea, Sonora. Mex. leo, where he had been to buy cat tie for the Yuma Meat Market. He purchased 500 head and brought hem all out to Naco where he sold 230 head which were not fat enough to be butchered. The re- mainder he shipped to Yuma. He says that he had no~,difticulty in getting his cattle out of Mexico, that everything is quiet in that section of Sonora, but thereis great unrest and the people are expect ing the worst at any time.
 Tucson Citizen: Cattle inspec. tor o. J. McAda of Wilcox has been visiting Tucson for the past several days on business relative to bis position and makes a very favor able report concerning the cattle business in the southern section of the state. Cattle in large numbers have been driven across the line for sale in Arizona and New Mex leo, according to MT. McAda and the spring and fall shipm64fts pro- mise to be very heavy. When asked as to the probable price of cattle, for the year, the inspector said 1t would hold around $50. The range is looking fine and the wet weather in the various sections of Arizona insures plenty of feed for the range steers. Inspector McAda will leave for Wilcox this evening and will go to Tombstone and Ben son in the near future to inspect some cattle in those sections.
 Arizona Democrat: That the cattle growers of Arizona are pretty we'll satisfied with the present laws that are administered through the Live Stock Sanitary Board, was indicated last night when num- Der of members of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, as- sembled at the Water Users build- ing, passed revolution asking the legislature to make only one change. They asked that brand taxes be made payable to the coun- ty treasurers instead of direct to the board. This, it is believed, will make it impossible to evade the tax, as so many do at present. President J. s. Johnson, of Will liams, presided. Vice President Tom Wills and Charles Mullen and Secretary F. w. Wilson were present Captain J. D. Carter, secretary of the Sanitary Board, and other persons spoke upon the excellent points and defects of the law. It was decided, however, that while there are several little things that need remedyings, it would be advisable to ask the legislature to amend the law only in one parti- cular. J. A. Johnson of Williams, Wm, Riggs of Dos Cabezas, Tom Wills of Mammoth, F. A. Reed of Ash Fork, L. L. Harmon and Frank Cox of Phoenix, and w. B. Coberly of Arivaca were named as a committee to draw up a resolu- tion, which will be passed formally at another meeting tonight.
