After five mouths of trial during which
time the stenographic record reached
ll,3l4 pages, the noted case OF the Buck
eye powder company against the E. I.
dupont de Nenours and other, for dam
ages for the alleged destruction Of their
business with trust methods came
to an end last Tuesday afternoon, in Tren-
ton when the jury was charged BY United
Stated Judge ReIlstab and retired to Jon
slider its verdict.
When the case was commenced the
allegation reached the total Of $4, 800, 600,
including the multiplication of damages
allowed as penal damages under the sew
enth section of the Sherman ANTITRUST
law. under which statute the action was
brought.
During the progress Of the trial it de-
veloped that these damages had been cut
down to something like $780, 600 not in
Guiding the multiplication allowed under
the act, and when the case was finished,
under the charge Of Judge Rellstab, the
counsel could not figure more than
$500 on side and $50, 600 on the
other side. 10 either OF these fgnres the
court would add, as penal damages, three
times the amount the jury brought in.
This reduction OF damages came from
the failure OF the plaintiffs to establish
their allegations,
Judge Rellstab consumed two and
three-quarter hours in bis charge. 1t was
endorsed by counsel as a mastery SUM
mary of the case, and he was congratu-
lated ON his marshaling of the incidents
of the case and the application of the
law to the aduced facts. The charge
totaled something like 26. 900 words.
This case has been in actual count just
seventy days in trying, covering the
period from September 23d last to date,
and stands the longest trial on record in
the east, and probably the longest in any
court in this country.

How New Jersey has neglected Oh

anchOly story that should be told In
detail. Originally the owner in fee of
all the land under water between high

with the fee Of land owned by foreign
corporations. If the state had O n
served this immense natural wealth by
giving leases instead of grants the
Income from this source would TODAY
pay half the school expenses of the
state.
In the same way the state gave away
many thousands of acres of oyster lands
now in private possession, and tile oys-
ter interests in South Jersey are mostly
in the hands of Philadelphians. What
the state has done, and not done. with
its great ocean fishing interests hat been
told in repeated chapters in the Even
ing Star. 1t has surrendered these
interests to the absolute control of a
foreign trust. If the state had con-
served its fisheries for revenue. it
