Supreme Court Decision Has
Ruined Their Plans.
MUST START ALL OVER AGAIN
Steel Decision Not i'm Line With
Standard Ruling.
Other Big Cases Still in Court
Awaiting Decision.

Washington, March 2.-Government
officials were perplexed as to what
further trust busting should be
taken by the department of justice in
the light of supreme court decision
holding that the United States Steel
corporation was not a conbination in
violation of the antitrust laws.
The belief OF some of the leading
lawyers of the department of justice
was that the decision virtually multi
fled the Sherman antitrust law under
which two big dissolution DEGREES
| those of the Standard Oil and the
American Tobacco, had been ordered
by the supreme court. This was the
view expressed by the justices dissent
ing from the opinion.
Wait on Palmer. ~.
A statement as to the future action
of the government is expected to be
shortly. The government attorneys
were keenly disappointed at the deci-
sion, particularly since they believe
had the full court considered the case
the government would have won and
this belief complexities the future ac-
ton of the department.
Justices McReynolds and Brandeis
took no part in the decision, because
of previous connection with the case.
Judging by their past acts, both would
yesterday and this. it was pointed out,
would have decided for the govern
ment by a five to four cote. McReyn-
olds prosecuted the case against the
steel corporation while attorney gen.
eral, and Brandeis by appearing before
a senate committee investigating mo-
nopolies in 1911. was instrumental in
having the dissolution suit brought in
lower courts.
Custer Suits Pending
The belief was expressed by some
officials that the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco decisions to not
conform to the steel trust opinion. But
the majority opinion claimed this COM
bine committed overt acts while the
main charge against the steel corpor-
alton was that it is so powerful that it
is dangerous.
Several big antitrust suits are still
standing in the courts, including the
Lehigh & Reading anthracite coal, the
Quaker oats, the Eastman Kodak and
the keystone watch cases.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Ways of Serving Bacon.
Edited by ANNE RIrrENHoUsE


When you first tasted the much
Wanted bacon of England, praised by
Dickens and Thackeray and every
other distinctively English writer, were
You disappointed? Was it served to
You white and soggy under an egg in
a little crockerY dish? And had you
expected something crisper and
sweeter and browner and brittler than
the bacon served at home?
A good many persons have been dis
appointed in the half-cooked bacon
that one usually gets in England
Doubtless the English palate is dis
turbed by the crisp bacon we serve
and doubtless the English comment
dubs this bacon overdone and flavor
less. Such is the habit of appetite.
But both English and American will
agree that bacon can be made or
marred in the cooking. And it is
rather odd that in most households
bacon is served in one Or. at most
two ways: the other ways in which it
can be deliciously cooked, each bring
ing out some new flavors, are ignored.
But most American taste prefers
broiled bacon to any other sort It
must be broiled over or under a flame
not too hot, and it must be broiled to
just the proper state of crispness-so
that it is flaky and golden brown
streaked with tender lean. but not
that it breaks the moment the fork
touches it.
When bacon is to be served with
some fried dish. the bacon should be
fried. and the other dish fried in the
bacon fat. For instance. corn fritters
fried in bacon fat and garnished with
crisp slices of bacon. fried liver and
bacon, fried tomatoes and bacon. and
many other combinations can be best
cooked in this way.

President of Leland Stanford Declares
Science on Trail of New Discovery.

Chicago, March 2.-The science
which drove yellow fever from swamp
bound countries will drive insanity
from fog bound brains, DR.. Ray Ly-
man Wilbur, president of Leland Stan
ford university predicted today before
the congress of medical education
here.
Insanity will be reduced to a mini
mum just as typhoid was reduced by
knowledge of ,preventives, he said.
Doctor Wilbur stated when knowl-
edge of the causes of insanity ard
power to recognize it in it's early
stages become more common among
medical men, insanity can be pre-
vented, and the number OF insane be
decreased. Instead of placing mental
ailment cases in the hands of Jun
trained judges and emotional jurors,
they should be placed in the hands of
trained physicians who would know
how to deal scientifically with such
l-patients, Doctor Wilbur said.

HOUSE OF MORGAN LAUDS
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

When the House of Morgan sought
an extension of its privilege to exploit
the public through manipulation of
the railroads, it denounced govern
ment ownership of transportation as
wasteful and inefficient.
When the House of Morgan is un-
loading bonds of foreign govern
ments, it has an entirely different
story to tell concerning government
ownership.
1t has issued prospectus promot-
ing a lottery loan of the Belgium
government, and among other securi-
ties offered are the government-owned
railroads of Belgium. It says:
"In the ten years prior to 1914 the
net returns of railways. telegraphs,
telephones, postoffices and other in
vestments averaged about 80 per cent
of the total interest charges on the
debt of the Belgian government. For
this period the interest and sinking
fund charges on the total government
debt, if the net return from state
utilities and investments had been
applied to such charges, would have
required on the average only 10 per
cent of the remaining net government
revenues"
What contrast with Aemrican pri-
vately-owned railroads! Here private
management is unable to pay its way
and relies on the government for sub
stantial subsidies and grants.
The Morgan statement gives addi-
tional interesting information con-
corning government railroads:
1.-THE Belgian government owns
more than $500 miles of standard
gauge railroads approximately one
half of which is double-tracked. The
operation of the state railways be-
fore the war was successful finan-
cially, a substantial surplus having
been accumulated after payment Of
interest and sinking funds on the
debt which the government incurred
in the development of the system
AT the time of the armistice 1886
miles Of standard gauge track and
1.419 bridges had been DESTROYED. By
January l, 1920, all of these lines,
with the exception of about fifteen
miles, had been reconstructed and
the bridges on lines in operation tenn

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
IS RAILROAD OluTION

Wall Street has been wondering
what is the confidential mission"
which President Wilson has assigned
to Director General Hines in sending
him to Europe to investigate certain
matters. The guesses have taken a
wide range, from investigating gov
ernment ownership in its broadest
aspects, to gathering statistics as TO
cost OF equipment, labor's relation to
the problem. etc NY guess is that
Mr., Hines mission is no less than to
report to President Wilson the most
minute details of the operation of
the government ownership scheme
and to help decide after all, whether
government ownership isn't the final
solution of the American railroad
problem. l believe sincerely that the
President has been disappointed in
the operation of the railroads since
they were restored to private opera
tion. and has been finally impressed
with the government ownership ar
guments which the railroad brother
hoods and the Plumb Plan have been
pressing upon him with great persist
ence in the last three months.

roads may be forced eventually. re-
