 Harvester Suit
HAND DOWN DECISIONS

Washington, June 14.-Refusal of the supreme court today to review the sc- tion of the Sixth circuit court of ep- peals in reversing the conviction of National Cash Register officials ol violations of the Sherman law, spelled another defeat for the government in what its legal officers regarded as the most important prosecution ever in stituted under the criminal section of the antitrust law
 Chief Justice White announced the courts decision along with the an nodncement of denials of applications Tor review in dozen or more cases. No reasons were assigned and no in dications given as to whether the re- frsal was based on lack of jurisdiction tc review criminal case upon the ap- plication of the government or on an appeal of law as laid down by the circuit court Judges and by Justice Day who sat in this case
 At the department of justice tonight While no official statement was issued, ii was frankly admitted that they had considered the cash register ease the
 
 brought under the criminal provisions ot the Sherman law, and that failure of this case was accepted as mearing that criminal prosecution under the law would almost certainly fail.
 Under the decision of the circuit court of appeals. the government now may take the case back to the trial court in an effort to make effective the re- maining counts in the indictments against the cash register defendants Officials of the department said this course had not been fully considered. and for the. present there would be no announcement of the government s purpose.
 The first important defeat suffered by the government in it's effort to en- force the criminal features of the Sher- man law came year ago, when the supreme court set aside the convic- tion of the officials of the American Naval Stores company because of CT roneous instructions of the trial court.

WASHINGTON'S CENSUS

A jump of $4,000 in the popula-
ton of Washington within a year, as
Indicated by the new city directory,
does not dovetail very we'll with the
lamentations about business depres-
sion. The directory makers also
place the total of vacant houses at
less than 5000, instead Of about
$4,000, as some gentleman confident
ly set forth.
Even these vacancies are &C
counted for by the exodus of persons
from alley homes in view of the bill
which will forbid human habitations
in alleys, by the usual number OF
old houses in undesirable sections
and by the exodus of many to Wash.
ington's attractive suburbs.
In conjunction with the recent an.
nouncement by the suburban direc-
tory publishers that they had incor.
porated 5000 new names in their
book, this makes a total of nearly
10000 added to Washington's earn
ing and buying population. Such g
growth is bound to be reflected in the
business of Washington merchants
and those merchants will profit who
by vigorous and progressive meth
ods, obtain the cream of this new
trade.

DEFER
CAUCUS ON POLICIES
Minority Leader Mann Thinks
Members-EIect Should Be
Given Consideration.

Republican members of the House will
await the convening of the new ses-
sion. whether it be a regular or extra
session. before holding caucus on Re-
publican policies and committee assign
ments for the Sixty-fourth Congress.
This was determined at conference
was voted to postpone the party con-
fab until the Thursday preceding the
opening Of the new session.
Minority leader Mann said he thought
it would be unfair to put members.
elect to the expense of coming to Wash.
ington at this time to take part In a
conference or caucus. He also con.
tended that the members of the pres.
ent House should not act without the
presence of the eighty-odd Republicans
who are not members of the present
House. but will be in the next.
When Mr.. Mann suggested a later
! caucus. Congressman Cooper. of Wis
consin. objected strenuously to the word
caucus"
Il move to amend by providing for a
! call for conference" said Mr. Cooper
''The dav Of caucuses in the Republican
party Is gone: let the Democratic party
have its secret caucuses. and we vii
| have conferences without attempting tc
| bind members
BY unanimous consent it was agreed
| that the call for the Republican pow
WOW shall be for "a meeting" and the
meeting itself may determine whether
1t Is a caucus or conference"
If there is an extra session the cal
| will be issued Immediately; otherwisc
the Republicans Will wait until Decem
ber to name their committee men and t
| elect a minority floor leader. Mr.. Manr
probably will be unopposed for tha
| place.
The Washington times., 1915-02-20

In Philadelphia, the Columbian ex-
position in Chicago, the original
Crystal Palace show in London, and
the great Paris exposition.
For the San Francisco demon
stration signalizes something that
is of the present and the fu-
ture, not of the past. It marks
not only the opening of new and
broadly Significant world trade route,
but also a route between the east
and west coasts of this country. It
signalizes the drawing together Of
the two sections Of this continent
more closely than ever. Also, it
points to closer relationship and
understanding between the different
sections of the Western World. The
Panama canal brings South America
more intimately into the American
system than it has been; or rather,
it will do that if the people of this
country will take advantage of the
opportunities which it opens.
Very much depends on the extent
to which the citizens of the United
States shall make the most of the
opportunity which San Francisco has
provided. If the people of the whole
country, who are going to take a
year off their accustomed routes of
travel, will devote it to seeing Amer
lea with the Far West as the objec-
tive; and if they will in this fashion
make very plain to the people of the
other American countries that there
is big national conception that the
canals opening really marks the be-
ginning Of a new era in Pan-Ameri-
can relations, then it may be expect
ed that good deal of interest will
be aroused among the South Ameri-
can peoples, and that they will be
the more disposed to visit San Fran
cisco and the United States, to get
acquainted. with US, to discover that
we have no purpose of aggression
against them, and to learn that COM
mercial relations of greater intimacy
and volume would be mutually ad-
vantageous.
We may not hope that the South
Americans will take the San Fran
cisco show seriously unless we our
selves take it seriously. 1t is for
Americans to demonstrate that they
really believe big thing is being
done, significant turn being given
to Pan-American relations.
