Ancon, the great waterway becomes
free and open to the vessels of com
merce and of war of all nations on
terms of entire equality" in accord
ance with the provisions of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Vessels drawing not more than &c
feet of water may now make the pass
age. 1t would be possible to put some
of the big American dreadnaughts
through at any time
Any of the foreign warships now in
the Atlantic and Pacific waters could
also make the trip, but the naval plans
OF the European powers which have
vessels off both coasts of the United
States are not known here.
No embarrassment will face the
United States should one of the yes.
sells of the belligerents seek passage.
Strict rules are laid down in the treaty
for the perpetual naturalization of the
canal, and every detail will be under
the direction of Governor Goethals and
his staff.
The principal work remaining to be
done in completing the canal is the
deepening and widening of the channel
through Culebra cut. as we'll as excava.
ton operations at both approaches.
Secretary Garrison sent this tele-
gram to Governor Goethals:
ION behalf of the Government and
the people of the United States l ex-
press to you, and through you all con-
cerned in the achievement, the intense
qualification and pride experienced to-
day. By the successful passage OF
vessels through the canal the dream
OF the centuries has become a reality.
It's stupendous undertaking has been
finally accomplished and a perpetual
memorial to the genius and enterprise
of our people has been created. The
fully earned and deserved congratula-
lions of grateful people go out to
you and your co-laborers.

ORDERS TRUST
TO DISSOLVE
Court Holds Harvester Trust
Is Monopoly.
JUDGE SANBORN DIssENTs
Controls More Than Eighty Per Cent
Of the Trade In Necessary
Farm implements, Says
the Decision.

st. Paul.-The International Har
vester Company was declared to be g
monopoly in restraint of interstate and
foreign trade and was ordered dis
solved by majority decision filed
here by Judges Smith and Hook in the
United States Court Judge Walter
H. Sanborn dissented.
Unless the corporation submits a
plan for dissolution within 80 days the
court will entertain an application for
receiver
Judge Hook, concurring, said:
THE International Harvester Com
pany is not the result of the normal
growth of the fair enterprise of an in.
dlvidual, a partnership or a corpora
ton. On the contrary, it was created
by combining five great competing
companies which controlled more than
80 per cent. of the trade in necessary
farm implements, and it still main
tains substantial dominance.
That is the controlling fact; all
else is detail. 1t may be, as is said,
that there is growing recognition of
the need of great concentrated re-
sources for trade and commerce, even
though secured by combination of in
dependent, competing concerns. But
that is not the Sherman act, and a
statute must be taken by the courts
as a true estimate of the preponder-
ance of public opinion, which calls for
legislative expression. 1t is not for
them to question whether that opinion
was rightly weighed or interpreted.
whether it is wise or unwise or
whether it has since changed.
Business is Fair.
ut is but just, however, to say and
to make it plain that in the main the
business conduct of the company to.
wards it's competitors and the public
has been honorable, clean and fair.
Some petty dishonesties were tracked
in at the start, mostly by subordinates
who had been in the service of the old
companies, but they were soon gotten
rid of. In this connection it should
also be said that specific charges of
misconduct were made in the govern
ment's petition, which found no war
rant whatever in the proof. They were
of such a character and there was SO
much of them apparently without foun-
dation that the case is exceptional in
that particular"
The decision is by a divided court
and the case will not be ended until

word
