IN ANTITRUST CASE
Seeks to Bring Cash Register
Case Before the Su-
preme Court.

The Department of Justice today filed
in the Supreme Court a petition for a
writ to bring the criminal antitrust
case against the officers of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company of Day.
ton. Ohio. before that tribunal.
John H. Patterson and other officers
of the company were convicted of
conspiracy to violate the antitrust
law in the United States district court
for the southern district Of Ohio. but
the convictions were reversed by the
federal circuit court Of appeals.
The petition filed today asks for a
writ of certiorari so that the Supreme
Court may review the reversal of the
circuit court.
Held Important Case.
This" says the government in a
brief filed with the petition, sis one of
the most important criminal cases ever
brought under the antitrust law. The
indictment charged that by the use of
competition the defendants have
ruined and forced out of business a
great number of competing cash register
companies and acquired 95 per cent of
the cash register trade of the United
States.
THE peculiarly aggravated nature of
the defendants conduct, as disclosed
in the course of the trial, as well as
the far-reaching character of the uues-
tions of law involved, have aroused the
most widespread interest. The reversal
of the conviction has been taken by
many to indicate that the criminal
provisions Of the antitrust law, while
in theory effective, in practice are un-
enforcible. General acceptance Of this
view, even II mistaken, will have the
gravest consequences"
Decision Attacked.
The government holds that the cir
cult courts decision was based upon a
Fundamental misconstruction" of the
antitrust law. mistaken views of mo
nopolization." "a conspiracy in restraint
of trade" in applying the statute of
limitations and to the requirements of
indictments under the antitrust law.
The brief says that it is to have a re-
view of those questions that the gov
srnment appeals, with the hope that If
another trial of the defendants must be
had, it shall be done .in the light of a
clear and authoritative construction of
the law on which the outcome of that
trial must depend
Understanding Desired.
ut is ALSO" says the brief. 'of the
greatest consequence to the Department
of Justice in the conduct of pending and
future litigation. and to the public
generally, that no misunderstanding
should exist as to the meaning of the
antitrust law"
In concluding the presentation of the
case on the legal points involved. the brief
declares that the testimony. which the
Circuit Court itself sets forth in its re-
versing opinion, shows that these men
were stepped in deliberate guilt not
merely technically guilty Of technical Of
fenses. but knowingly guilty of offenses
that the man in the street would recog-
nize as flagrantly and unmistakably

time 1t tipped and turned over.
Then was enacted a scene of hOr-
ror indescTibable. With a mad rush
1000 people attempted to get off the
boat. In a moment the river was so
filled that people were jumping right
down on top of one another. In spots
people were two and three deep be-
meath the water, the bottom ones
struggling vainIy to get up until they
died, often dragging with them the:
more fortunate ones on top.
There was not room to swim.
Those who could not tread water
simply had to sink.
Because of the jam of people in the
water rescue work was difficult. The
boats could only reach the outer
fringe. Those in the center who were
strong enough to stick up took their
turn in being saved.
At least 500 were caught inside the
boat Many of these were women
with babies who had retired to state
rooms. Few of these were saved.
Those not drowned. it is claimed,
were suffocated with steam. -.
Oliver HamerSley, 70 w. Monroe.
rushed on Oxylene outfit to the side
of the ship to burn hole through the
steel in hopes of rescuing the steam
cooking passengers. He says Capt
Peterson tried to order him off be-
cause he didn't want holes burned in
the ship.
Where the Eastland sank the water
was so deep that but Is feet of the
side of the boat appeared above wa

saved, said women and children were
beaten to death by the maddened
crowd before they had a chance to
leave the deck.

a blow like that of the Iroquois theat-
er disaster It was the biggest Of all

Every pulmOtor, ambulance, diver,
police and fire reserve in the city was
rushed to the scene. Loop stores sent
their delivery wagons to be used as
ambulances.
Doctors came by hundreds They
organized TesuscitatiOn crews to sup
plement the pUlmoters in reviving the
unconscious. Within a short while
230 dead bodies had been recovered.
Coroner Peter M. Hoffman arrived
early on the scene. Told that Capt
Peterson had tried to stop men from
cutting holes in the side of the boat
to rescue imprisoned from state
rooms, he emphaticaIly announced
that property would not be cOnsid-
cred in effecting rescues. Many died
because the pulmOtOrs were over
burdened.
A net was stretched across the
river at Adams st. to catch floating
bodies. At one time it was feared the
Clark street bridge would go down,
it was so crowded. Police had diff
Guilty in clearing it. People were also
ordered off the packed fire escapsg
along the river.
W. J. GreenbaUm, general manager
Of the Indiana Transportation Co.,
which leased the EastIand, said the
boat was permitted to carry $500 and
that number were on board. He said
