Militant Parson
Ready to Fight
Elders of Church

Chicago, March 1.-(By Chi
cago Tribune-O Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. )-Rev. c. S. Marsolf, who
is experiencing considerable
trouble in mounting his rocking
and bucking pulpit in the North
Chicago Presbyterian church,
has given it out that the fight
has just begun
He was with a machine-gun
corps in France and saw fight
ing at close range. Now he
proposes to give his opponents
i'll the church some of the stuff
he and his crew ladled out to the
opposing forces in No Mans
Land.
When he sought to enter the
church Sunday he was arrested
on orders of the directors of
the church and put under bond.
Monday the extension board of
the Presbyterian church held
this action was illegal and that
the members or trustees had no
right to interfere with his hold
ing services.
Mr.. Marsolf intimated that his
first step will be to seek the
indictment of the trustees and
others responsible for his at
rest. Preliminary hearing of his
case will be heard March 5 and
both sides are preparing for a
hard battle.
, In explanation of the arrest,
Elder Martin c. Decker said the
militant pastor has spread false
stories among the women of the
church and also had threatened
to lick the Sunday school su-
perintendent on sight" ".
The trouble all started when
the minister refused to stop re-
hearsals on Sunday afternoons,
of a Christmas play.
The Chicago presbytery has
announced that Rev. Mr.. Mar
solf is still pastor and that no
church board or any other body
except the presbytery has the
power to discharge him.

BY Vote OF Four to Three Su-

ton Not Illegal Combine Un-
der Sherman Law.
MINORITY REPORT is
HIGHLY CONDEMNATORY
Two Associate Justices Do Not
Participate in Decision Which
Ends One of Longest Litiga-
tions in Federal Courts.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

Washington, March 1.-(By Chi.
cago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased
Wire. 1.-The steel trust won legal
sanction by fluke in the United
States supreme court today.
By vote of four to three the
court held that the United States
Steel corporation is not an illegal
combination under the terms of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The justices supporting the ma
jorty opinion in favor of the corpor-
alton were Chief Justice White and
Associate Justices McKenna
Holmes and Nandevanter.
The justices supporting the mi
nority opinion in favor of dissolu-
ton OF the corporation as an unlaw-
iul monopoly were Associate JUS
tices Day, Pitney and Clarke.
Much Condemnation.
The minority opinion sizzled with
condemnation of the corporation as
a trust and of the majority opinion
as a virtual notification of the
Associate Justices Brandeis and
McReynolds did not participate in
the decision, deeming themselves
disqualified from rendering impartial
Judgment by virtue of their connec-
ton with the movement to dissolve
the steel combine before they be-
came members OF the court.
Attorney General McReynolds di-
rected the prosecution of the suit
against the corporation in the lower
courts, and Mr.. Brandeis appeared
before a senate investigating COM
mittec in 1911 and denounced the
steel corporation as an illegal trust.
Not Likely AS Precedent.
Had Justices Brandeis and Nc
Reynolds participated in the decision
the corporation would have been de-
clared an illegal ttHst and ordered
dissolved by a vote Of FIVE to four.
As the result Of the peculiar cir
cumstances determining the decision
it is doubtful that the majority opin-
ion will stand as the future policy
OF the court on antitrust cases. The
steel trust decision. therefore. is not
likely to be regarded as a precedent
in the disposition OF other dissolu-
ton suits involving the same issues.
The dismissal of the suit against
the steel corporation by the court
was without prejudice thus leaving
the way open for the reinstitution OF
dissolution proceedings if the gov
ernment should find evidence war
'ranting such action.
Long Litigation Ended.
The decision today ended one OF
the longest litigations i'll the federal
courts. The suit was instituted IL
1911 during the Taft administration
and has been pending in the supreme
court for several years.
The majority opinion was ground
ed upon two main points:
First, that size of corporation in
itself is not violation of the anti
trust laws.
Second, that the steel corporation
has not exerted its admitted great

The question now is: Does agricul-
ture get the benefit of the subsidy
the benefit of this tax exemption?
'The joint stock land banks claim
that agriculture is benefited. They
claim that the government and that
the people as a whole will be more
than compensated by the increased
production and by the lowering Of the
cost of living.
Agriculture requires a different
kind of financing than that required
for commercial business. We have
large commercial banks the country
over that provide millions of dollars
of liquid capital for commercial bust
ness without income tax or any ex.
pense whatever excepting what the
bank may levy. Now farmer wants

not be really developed short Of five to
ten years? And yet the farm is a fac.
tory and nothing else. No man would
undertake to build up great manu-
featuring business depending upon his
ability to get capital, upon six months
renewal basis. A manufacturer has to
have his short-time accommodations
for liquid capital required. But his
permanent capital, the thing which
makes the base Of his factory, must be
obtained for a long period Of years.
"The farmer wanting that kind of
capital must go to commercial bank,
and get it, and he must get 1t on a six
months renewal. So he is subject, like
the commercial man who makes his
turnover every 60 or 80 days or at
least every six months, to the same
laws with reference to the money con-
ditions. That is an impossible condi-
ton for the farmer, Many a man who
has produced meat for Instance. has
been compelled to sacrifice his herd in
stringent times at an absolute loss,
and many times at so great a loss as
to almost bankrupt him.
