The Spaniards thought It was a
strange name, but they accepted It and
nobody has given the animal any other.

circumstances Of Zamor's election were
almost Identical with those of the cleo

GOVERNMENT IS SATISFIED

wAsHINoroN. March 26-Another
chapter in the. Wilson Administration $
campaign for peace for big business was
written to-day when the antitrust suit
against the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. the big subsidiary of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company In the Pacific northwest was
amicabiy settled. The officials or the
company expressed themselves AS satisfied
with this settlement out OF court and
the Government authorities also believed
they had gained much for the Pacific
coast without waiting for the tedious
processes Of the courts.
The list of antitrust cases now set
tied out OF court includes the relations
o. the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company with the Western Union. the
New Haven dissolution and to-day's Inn
portant case. Through to-day's action
the American Telephone and Teegraph
Company finally finds itself free OF all
consultations under the Sherman anti
trust law except in so far AS the details
are yet to be arranged OF It's working
relations with the Western Union.
To-days agreement was filed In the
form OF a decree with the United States
District Court at Portland. Ore. The
cinc coast monopoly WAS filed last July.
II involved companies representing mil
liens Of dollars and controlling the wire
network In Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
In q statement issued to-day the De-
Dastment OF Justice says:
The decree adjudges that the de-
PENDANTS combined to monopolize the
means OF telephone communication IN
and among the States named In viola
ton Of the antitrust act and forbids
them to form any like combination In
tho future. The bell companies are
ordered to dispose of their holdings in
the Northwestern and Interstate COM
paniss-the two long distance companies
and are prohibited from acquiring here
after any interests in those companies.
Tho decree further orders the Bell
companies to sell their holdings OF the
stock and bonds of the Home Company
of Spokane. but II Is provided that IL
the city OF Spokane within three months
shall determine 1t to he in the interest OF
~ people Of that city TO consolidate the

conracts by which local companies agree
TO give their long distance business to

hibits the latter from accepting any

METROPOLITAN TOBACCO
SUIT MAY BE AVERTED
Government to Apply "COnsti-
tuition of Peace" Plan in Case
of Reorganization.

WAsHfSGroN. March 2s.-Ther- are in
dications that the application OF the Ad-
ministration's Constitution Of peace plan
may bring about a voluntary reorganiEa-
ton OF the combinations said to exist be-
tween the Metropolitan Tobacco Company
and the components of the former tobacco
trust. which will prevent a suit under the
sherman ANTITRUST law. The basis OF
the agreement which the Department OF
Justice Is willing TO accept IL that the
American Tobacco Company, the Liggett
Myers Company, the r. j. Reynolds
Company and the L. Lorillard Company
promise to sell their products to distribut-
ing companies which are competitors OF
the Metropolitan company at the same
prices quoted to the Metropolitan.
The charge against the Metropolitan
company was that 1t was the sole dis
tributor Of the products Of the components
of the former trust and that in this
capacity Il maintained the monopoly or
dered broken up by the supreme Court
decree.
Several weeks ago representatives OF the
company approached the Department with
inquiries as 20 what demands would he
made by the Government in order TO pre-
clude "A suit. Negotiations did not progress
far at that time because the reorganizs-
ton plans suggested did not go far enough
to satisfy the Attorney-General
A meeting between representatives of
the Government and the company will be
held next Monday at which suggestions
for reorganization viii be submitted by
counsel FOR the company. The Ming ~
the Governments suit, 1t IL expected. will
follow closely upon this conference II the
suggestions are not satisfactory.
An interesting question which arises in
connection with the anticipated reorgan!-
zation Is will II prevent the Ming OF
charges by the Government that the com.
poncnts of the former trust have been
guilty OF contempt OF the Supreme Court
The view OF the ATTORNEY General It Is
understood. Is that the decree WAS c.rcum-
vented by the operations now going on.

VAIL STATES BELL CO.'S VIEW.
says Decree Ends Controver with
the Government.


Theodore n. Vail Of the American Teie-
phone and Telegraph Company In COM
mentng on the situation said last night {:
The suit brought by the United States
against the Bell companies in Portland.
Ore. has been finally disposed OF by a
decree consented to by both parties, en-
tered In the Federal court in Portland to-
day. This decree and the working agree
ment made between the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and At
torney-General McReynolds last winter
dispose OF all existing controversies be-
tween the Department OF Justice and the
company and establish a basis upon which
the business OF the company may proceed
without question AS to its legality.
This decree does not disturb any ex-
tsting established relations where actual
merger has taken place between opposl-
tioe and Bell companies.
In the case OF Spokane. where the
bsil company had purchased the securi-
ties Of the opposition company. but no
Consolidation has taken place. the Bell
company Ia ordered to sell these securi-
tieo unless the local authorities within a
hxsl time indicate a desire to have the in
dependent company consolidated with and
operated by the bell company.
In the case Of the Northwestern Long
Distance Telephone Company. which was
toll line company having some inter-
state connections whose securities the
Pacific company had purchased the de
cree requires the Pacific company TO sell
these securities and also requires IL to
restore the connections with the opposition
exchanges which have been merged with
the Bell exchanges. II also requires the
sale Of the 1ndependnt Long Distance
Company. a small interstate line between
Spokane and Idaho points.
"Both parties to the suit sought this
compromise because they recognized that
an adjustment, especially at this time,
would strongly serve the public interest"
