SUPREME COURT REvERSES LOWER
 COURT DEGREES

Washington, March 1.---In inter preting the Sherman antitrust act to. day, the Supreme Court reversed fed era1 court decrees which held that the statute did not prohibit resale price fixing unless there was intention to create a monopoly.
 The opinion was rendered in gov ernment's appeals from dismissal in Ohio of federal indictments charging A. Schrader's Sons, Inc, manufactur- CTS of accessories for pneumatic tires, with participation in a combination in restraint of trade through contracts by which resales to retailers and con- sumers are fixed. In quashing the in- dictments, the lower court construed the act to mean that in the absence of allegations charging an intent and purpose to monopoGze trade, the stat ute did not make the acts alleged crime.

COUNSEL FOR
 BERCDOLL GETS
 HABEAS CORPUS
Medical Board Will Make Its Report on His
 Sanity.

New York, March 1-Counse1 fD1 Grover Cleveland BergdoH held for court martial on Governors Island charged with assertion from the army in evading the selective draft, and, with his brother, the object of a cOun- trywide search for two years. today obtained a writ of habeas corpus in federal court, returnable Friday. His trial is scheduled for Ehursday, wher the medical board which has been examining BergdolI for a month to determine his sanity will make it's re port.
 Bergdou was arrested in his Phil. adeIphia home last January. A: soon as he was brought here hi: counsel pleaded insanity for him, thus delaying the court martial and au- tomaticany forcing Governors Island authorities to appoint a medica board to hold him under observation flor such time as may be necessary to determine' his mental condition according to the army court martia regulations.
 The writ is issued against Lieut. General BuIlard, commander of tn, department of the east, and agains the keeper of the disciplinary bar racks at Fort Jay.
 The petition for the writ c1aimet that Bergdoll is entitled to civil an not a military trial; that he is un justly detained at Governors Island that his arrest and imprisonment wer illegal and were resorted to for tn purpose of depriving the civil depart llent of the government of it's ju dicial power under the constitution and of depriving Bergdoll of a fai and impartial trial.

 SHIPMENTS 0F FOOD
START OF CONCERTED DRIVE TO MOVE 4,OOO FREIGHT CARS STALLED IN YARDS AND ON SIDINGS-TRAINS GO BACK
 WHEN SHORTAGE IS OVER

Boston, March 1.-The re- turn of New England railroads to private ownership was ac- companied by curtailment of passenger train service on sev- eral roads as a means of ex- pediting needed fuel and food deliveries, which were held up by the recent storms and freeze-ups. Fifty-one trains were removed from the sched- ule of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad and although the other roads made fewer cuts, they changed their schedules to give freight trans portation the preference.
 Thousands of railroad employees and volunteers dug out snow-covered freight yards and functions on Satur- day and Sunday. As a result of this work several branch lines were oper- ated today for the first time since 1aSL " "edneSday ana It was announced that with a continuation of favorable weather, normal conditions would be possible before the end of the week
 Officials of the New Haven road an nounced the start of concerted drive to move 4,000 freight cars stalled in va rds and on sidings. The sending Of these cars to their destinations will remove the danger of the food short aga already being felt in many of the smaller cities and towns in this dis trict. The passenger trains removed today will be restored as soon as the freight congestion is relieved, it is said.
