WAR DISSOLVES TRUSTS
Department of Justice Will Not Pros ecute German and British Stean,- ship Lines For Trade Combinations.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The depart ment of justice today asked the su- preme court to dismiss antitrust prosecutions instituted before the Eu- ropean war against British and Ger man steamship lines for alleged con- binations in trans atlantic and South American shipping, now dissolved by the war. New York federal courts held that the suits brought against the American-Asiatic Steamship company, the Prince line, Ltd., Paul E. Ger hard, Francis J. Zimmerman and others, had been transformed by the war into an autopsy instead of a de- termination of live issues" with the government asking the right to- renew prosecutions should the alleged. com- binations be resumed when peace comes.

Sparks Show Has
Brand New Thriller

The wal in Europe has had many
and varied effects on all classes of
business in this country, and the cir.
Gus business has been no exception.
The most noticeable effect on the cir
Gus business has been the effort made
BY performers in all the war.ridden
countries TO escape to this country,
and this fact has enabled Mr. Sparks,
Of the Sparks Circus, to secure novel
ties that under normal conditions
would not be available ct any price.
Probably the most sensational

VESSEL, BOUND
FOR BRIDGEPORT,
NOW A OERELICT

The. schooner ''Horatio'' of New
York, built at Bath, Me, in 1880, has
been abandoned off Cape Ann her crew
of six men having been taken OF dur
ing gale by the fishing schooner Syl-
via, according to a despatch from
Boston, where the crew were landed.
The "Horaeio'' was bound for Bridge
port.
The f'Horatio,'' after a struggle
against the elements and in a badly
waterlogged condition, was abandoned
about 80 miles off Cape Ann On
Tuesday. She is now derelict almost
directly in the path of shipping and as
she may become a menace to other
shipping it is likely that a revenue cut
ter will be sent to blow her up unless
salvage is attempted by some passing
steamer.
The fHoratio'' left Halifax, N. g., on
January with a shipment Of 1unn-
Der from Sherhpooke, Canada, con-
signed to the Woodstoek Lumber Co.
of Boston, with sailing papers for
Bridgeport. At this city it is. said that
though no notification of consignment
has. been received by the Frank Miller
Lumber. CO. from the Woodstock com
pany, the cargo was undoubtedly de-
stined for the Miller Lumber Co.
