A QUESTION
MONOPOLY
Judge Says 1t Is Not Impos-
sible in New Eng
land
HE HEARS FURTHER
ARGUMENTS
Counsel Declares Nothing
Prejudicial to the Public
in New Haven Case

New York, Dec. 22.--Merely becaus
New England is a great terminal yar'
for the trunk line railroads and enjoy
the benefit Of their competition for iii
business, it does not follow, said Judg'
Hunt at the New Haven trial yesterday
that there could be no monopolizatior
of its traffic. This was one of the com
ments of the court on the argument o.
Goldthwaite H. Dorr, of counsel for tht
| III former directors of the New Havef
road, when he resumed his effort tc
prove that the defendants were entitled
to verdict for acquittal. Mr.. Dorr con
tended that the New Ravens control OF
| New England transportation opened that
territory to the western trunk lines on
a competitive basis and thus fostered
competition instead Of suppressing it. u
do not see" said the court, that it IL
Iindisputable that there can be no monopr
olization in New England. If that were
the case, then it would follow that there
could be no monopolization in any center
of the country"
The court cited copper shipments from
Butte, Montana, and fruit shipments
from California as example OF similar
situations from which it might, on the
same principle, be held that the traffic
could not be monopolized. "Undoubted-
ly' Judge Hunt continued, 'there is
great force in the argument of Mr.. Mel
len that in order for New England to
continue to enjoy its industrial suprem-
acy, it is necessary for her to have the
advantage of rates and service that
would save her from the competition of
other centres of the country. But con-
ceding that that argument has great
force, we revert to the question as to
whether or not the facts should not be
addressed TO the jury-to those persons
who are to determine whether purpose
existed to create a combination in order
to accomplish an unlawful end"
Thomas Thatcher followed by an
elaboration OF his argument made yes
terday that under the latest supreme
court decisions on the Sherman law il
was necessary for the government to
prove that the New Haven had been pre-
judicial to the public interest. This, he
the government had failed to
do.
Suppose" asked Judge Hunt, eve
have combination formed with the
power to affect the public interests pre-
judicially, although il should not choose
to exercise il Suppose that the public
and the shipper have no reason for com
plant against the combination, but live
nevertheless under the dread OF that
powerf'
Because you own a powder factory II |
Toes not mean you intend TO blow up the /
whole town." replied Mr.. Thacher. He /
added that the question resolved itself |
INTO that of the intent of those who
iormed the combination.

BRITISH TO HOLD
TIP OF GALLIPOLl
Asquith Makes This Announcement in
Statement to Commons on the
Dardanelles.

London, Dec. o. Speaking Of the Oar
danelles campaign, Premier Asquith said
yesterday;
at was with deep reluctance that we
sanctioned the withdrawal especially
from Amaze, where our Australian and
New Zealand kinsmen won undying
fame. This withdrawal did not involve
withdrawal from Heles lat the tip of
Gallipoli peninsulal, where our combined
naval and military forces commanded
the entrance to the straits.
Everything was brought off except
some stores and six guns, which were de-
stroyed."
The premier said the men withdrawn,
after a short and much needed rest,
would proceed to new theatre Of OPP
GRAFTON. He paid warm tribute to Gen

ANTI-TREATING LAW
PROVES NO JOKE,
AS LONDON LEARNS
In One Month Drinking and Drunkenness
Have Diminished 40 Per


London, Dec. 22--London's anti-treat'
| ing law is no joke. II is no American
Sunday closing affair. It's the real, I'M
fathers agree that there shall be no Sun
day saloons they draw up their ordinance
and notify the saloon keepers. But they
don't lock the back doors. England does
also the windows; also the cellars
| The vast difference between American
and British observance is startlingly
shown in the effects of this latest step
against intemperance. In one month
drinking has diminished % to 40 per cent
in England. Drunkenness is down 40 per
cent and still decreasing.
Careful investigation proves to-day
that there IL no treating in London.
Fashionable cafes in London's downtown
district now have many empty chairs.
Leading hotel bars lack the little groups
of sstrategists" who gather daily to dis
cuss the war over whiskey and soda.
Professional mothers" well known in
London, have been annihiiated by the
law which says they may have no drink
unless they pay for it. Semi-respectab
restaurant public houses have been hard
nit. No groups gather to talk over ale
and bitter The patrons are drinking
almost pathetically alone. The lower
class of public house has suffered less.
Laborers still drop in for their morning
and evening nip or tankafsi of ale. They
paid for it themselves before, anyhow.
At certain American bar and hotel
well known to Americans the veteran
barmaid who makes the best Bronx cock
tail in England admits she isn't making
so many nowadays. She knows many of
the most prominent Americans in Lon
don and many who frequently come over,
but she admits she's not seeing them so
often.
The secretary Of one Of London's larg-
est clubs declares that two drinks are
now being taken where three were con-
sumed before. The manager of well
known west end cafe admits that his
daily bar receipts are off nearly 40 per
cent There is no one to buy for "the |
other fellow" Police court figures show !
that where London produced 1000 ar
rests weekly for drunkenness before,
there are now not more than 600. In
other parts of England and Wales and |
Scotland, where the law is effective, po- /
ice figures sum up that where there |
we're 600 convictions for drunkenness
here are now 400 In Liverpool during
.he month preceding the non-treating /
rider there were 1898 arrests and in the
ollowing month but 1875. In Newcastle
here were IS against Al; Durham, 50
Igainst "a; Northumberland, 40 against
IS, and Cardiff, against /.
