night by William c. Redfield. secre-

The German government. apparently

sank the Persia. promises the United
States in tod&y's communication that
should it develop that such was the case,
the matter will he investigated and sub
mitted to prize court proceedings. and
that if the commander disobeyed his or

Judge Hunts Charge
Judge Hunts charge was regarded
by many in the courtroom as favorable
for the defense. He held that the jul
rors must first satisfy themselves that
the alleged conspiracy to monopoliZe
the commerce in New England must
have been continuous from the date
named in the indictment-that of the
enactment of the Sherman law. 1890
until the date the indictment was
found. Otherwise the governments
case failed. he said.
"The defendants in that event must be
acquitted" he held, mo matter how
guilty they might he thought to be of
other crimes not named in the indict-
ment." .
Also the case failed if the jurors found
that the conspiracy ceased before the
three-year period covered by the statute
of limitations, the court stated.
This point the court made in consider
ing the question of the alleged illegal
agreement which the New. Haven made
with the Grand Trunk Railway of Can
ada within that period. One of the al
legged illegal acts, the so-called tripartite
agreement in which the New Haven par
tcipated almost at the beginning of the
alleged conspiracy. the court held not to
be in violation of the law. The mere
magnitude of the New Haven the jury
was not to consider. said the court.
Large enterprises not used to effect
monopoly" he said, but only to all to
efficiency may in one sense monopolZc.
but the magnitude of corporations S
business although it may carry with it
incidentally the acquisition of great pow

not a monopoly or an attempt to monop-
