NEW TRIAL GRANTED
TO THE CASH REGISTER
TRUST" OFFICIALS

Cincinnati, O.-The United States
circuit court of appeals reversed
Monday the lower court in the case
of the government against John HI.
Patterson, president, and 26 other Of
ficials or former officials of the Ma
tional Cash Register company OF
Dayton, and remanded it back to the
district court for new trial.
The upper court based its action
upon its finding that the first count
OF the indictment which charged the
defendants with being guilty of con
spiracy to restrain trade in violation
Of the Sherman act, had not been
proved by the evidence, and that the
second and third were defective anG
should never have been permitted t.
enter into the trial of the case il
the lower court. 1t is held that con
spiracy had to be proved as existing
within three years of the time the in
dictment was drawn and that the
government failed to offer convictins
evidence to sustain these charges.

COUNT W|TTE IS DEAD
1T WAS HE WHO REPRESENTED
RUSSIAN GOvERNM EMIT IN
SETTLING JAP WAR.
FIRST PRIME MINISTER RUSSIA
Regarded in Some Respects Most Re.
markable Man of His Country
Great Organizer-Supporter of
Jews, and Married One.

st. Petersburg Count Sergius JULIO
vich White, Russia's first prime min
lister, died March IL, due to a weeks
sickness of influenza. He was born
June 30, 1S49, at Tiflis, was one OF the
Russian plenipotentiaries at Ports
mouth, n. H., in the negotiations for
peace with Japan in 1905. He after
wards was made a count and appoint
ed president of the new ministry, but
retired in 1906, and held no important
post after that time.
Russas' Great Man.
Count Witte was regarded as in
some respects one of the most re-
markable men his country had pro
duced, but his reputation was even
greater abroad than at home. Through
out his career, during which he &C
complished much for Russia, he had
many and powerful enemies, although
his great ability and remarkable ca
pacity for work never were ques'
toned.
Regardless of his work as a states
man, his chief fame in Russia rests
upon his development of manufacture
ing industries, the expansion of rail
roads and the placing of the monetary
system upon gold basis.
His policy in regard to Manchuria
which he declared to develop only
| from a commercial and not from q
political viewpoint, resulted in pow
erful intrigues against him which re
suited in his removal in 1903 as min
! lister of finance. He went for a time
to Paris, but returned to Petrograt
when the Russo-Japanese war was il
full swing.
| He neither offered nor was asked
for advice in regard to the conduct o.
the struggle, but when Theodore
Roosevelt, then president OF the
United States, prevailed upon the
emperor to consider terms of peace
the tide turned and practically The
entire nation united in demanding
the selection of White as plenipoten
tiary. At the Portsmouth confer
ence he succeeded in gaining terms
under which Russia was not oblige'
to pay a cash indemnity to Japan
This was considered a remarkable
achievement and White again becam
a hero in his own country. The EN-
peror rewarded him for his service
by appointing him a count.
White, throughout his career, wa
regarded as supporter of the Jews
1t was one of his ambitions afte
his second marriage to secure socia
recognition of his wife, who was
Jewess. Victory came at last whe
he was given the title of count an
appointed premier. The empress RI
ceived Countess White at the palac
at Peterhof, imperial recognition bt
ing the open-sesame to all doors.
