and reached the 1ightship from which
q Dutch pilot boat conveyed them to
Rotterdam. The Durward was a ves-
sch OF 1900 tons, built at Glasgow in
1895 and owned by g. Gibson and
Company, of Iieth, Scotland.
Members of the crew of the Dur

German submarine in mid-afternoon
and stopped the vessel in response to

Durward and covering the captain
and crew with revolvers they ordered
all on board to quit the vessel. Boats
were lowered and after al hands had
left the vessel the submarine lowed
the boats to safe distance. The sub
marine returned to the Durward and
sent three torpedoes into her. It was
twenty or thirty minutes before she
sank. The submarine then picked up
the small boats and lowed them for
six hours until they. reached the light
ship. Then the Germans cast them
adrift and went off at full speed.
It was the German submarine,

PEGGY JEFFERSON CASE
DISMISSED BY JUDGE HUGHES

Okmulgee, Okla, June 13.-The
justly famous Peggy jefferson case,
one OF the most bitterly contested
actions in the history of Okmulgee
county, has been thrown out of court
by District Judge f. b. Hughes. Judge
Hughes held that the Oklahoma law
was correct in cases of the kind in
question and he sustained the de-
murrer as presented by attorneys for
the plaintiffs.
A brother and three sisters of the
late Peggy Jefferson, wealthy In
dian woman. were the plaintiffs in
the case while the Beaver Oil and
Gas company were the defendants.
Title to a quarter section of land in
northeast 23-15-14, on which were
located a number of producing oil
wells, was involved in the action
The decision of the court followed
the line of law which holds the Okla
homa statute to obtain in the descent
of land titles and not the Arkansas
law of 1908. The ruling of the IA
nous Schulthis case, wherein the
circuit court of appeals held an al
lotment is an estate of inheritance
was involved and it was upon that
theory in part that the action brought
by the plaintiffs stood
The title of the defendants came
by deed from the father, following
the death of the allottee. The latter
had died in 1908. The mother of the
allottee died in 1905. On the theory
of the allotment being an estate OF
inheritance and the Arkansas law OBJ
tanning as to descent, the sisters and
brother of the allottee should take
half of the allotment which passed
back through the mother. then des
cends to her living children. 1t was
upon this theory that the plaintiff
sued and the defendant demurred to
the petition.

ed as are the state laws, and those
of foreign countries.
The chief conclusions of the study
are that the development of anti
trust legislation and consequent jul
dcial decisions have been important
factors in shaping forms OF business
organization and that interpretations
of the Sherman law, especially the
more recent decisions, have demon
strated its far reaching effect Prac'
tically no twilight zone has been left
the report says, which cannot be
reached by state or federal law.
Although the Sherman antitrust
law is comprehensive in its scope,
says the report, "it is not so clearly
established that the judicial decis-
ions afford basis for determining
with exactness the lawfulness, or un-
lawfuness, when taken seyerally oi
many particular devices that has
been used collectively to control the
market. Almost every decision has
been based on a complex set of fact;
and the use of a number of differen'
devices to restrain trade"
