THIRTY-FIRST YEAR
WICKERSHAM TELLS OF
HIS
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July 7.—?i%nnr»r*m«P flf trTl
Attorney General Wickersham spoke 1 1 0 1 I O VilLU
before the Michigan State Bai• asso- I AM
elation yesterday and discussed the su- I I
preme court's recent interpretation of
anti-trust law in
the Sherman _the
Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. He
gave his unqualified endorsement to
the court's application of the so
called "rule of reason."
"Those who have thoughtlessly
yielded to the superficial conclusion
resulting from the application by the
chief pustice of the rule of reason to
the interpretation of the Sherman
law," he said, "can find little to Jus
tify the idea that the Sherman law
has been made ineffective by those
two decisions, for precisely the con
trary is established by these two great
judgments.
"The most cursory examination or
the decree in the tobacco case—the
most casual consideration of the dras
tic and far-reaching remedy imposed
—makes it perfectly apparent that the
Sherman law, perhaps for the first
time, has been demonstrated to be an
actual, effective weapon to the accom
plishment of the purpose for which it
was primarily enacted, namely, the
destruction of the great combinations
familiarly known as trusts."
"Size alone does not constitute mo
nopoly. The attainment of a domi
nant position in a business acquired
by the result of honest enterprise and
normal methods of business develop
ment is not a violation of the law.
But unfair methods of trade, by de
stroying and excludisg competitors by
means of intercorporate stock hold
ings, or by means of agreements be
tween actual or potential competitors,
whereby the control of commerce
along the states or with foreign coun
tries in any particular line of industry
is secured or threatened, expose those
who are concerned in such efforts to
the penalties prescribed in he second
section of the act, because they are
engaged in monopolizing or attempt
ing to monopolize such commerce.
"It is also now settled that no form
of jcorporate organization, merger, or
consolidation, no species of transfer
of title, whether by sale, conveyance
or mortgage and no lapse of time from
the date of the original contract, con
spiracy or combination can bar a fed
eral court of equity from terminating
an unlawful restraint, or compelling
the disintegration of a monopolistic
combination."
Mr. Wickersham "uoted from Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson's work, "The
State," the following
it is one of the distinguishing
characteristics of the English race,
whose political habit has been trans
mitted to us through the sagacious
generation by whom this government
was erected, that they have never felt
themselves bound by the logic of
laws, but only by a practical under
standing of them based upon slow pre
cedent. Fcr this race the law under
which they live is at any particular
time what it is then understood to be,
and this understanding of it is com
pounded of the circumstance of the
time. Absolute theories of legal con
sequence they have never cared to fol
low out to their conclusions. Their
laws have always been used as parts
of the practical running machinery of
their politics, parts to be fitted from
time to time by interpretation to exist
ing opinion and social conditions.
"If this law," the attorney general
said in conclusion, "is designed to
protect the people of t' is country from
the evils of monopoly and to preserve
the liberty of the individual to trade
freely, it shall now be clearly under
stood if its true purpose shall be
recognized and its beneficient conse
quences realized, the twenty years of
slowly developed interpretation and

pers were served today in an interest
ing damage suit, tihat of W. H. Moyer
against A. H. Bell and the Minneapolis
Drug company, in which the plaintiff
asks $12,266 damages for injuries
which he claims he sustained as a re
sult of an explosion of a chemical
which was sold him at the Bell drug
store in the city, the Bell drug store
having purchased the adulterated com
bustible chemical from the Minne
apolis Drug company.
Mr. Moyer was touring the country
and was at Warwick at the time the
accident occurred. He generated his
own gas and purchased black oxide
of magnesia which he mixed with
chlorate of potash for this purpose.
The chemical he purchased exploded,
wrecking the machine and greatly
damaging the building at Warwick,
leaving Moyer with his left leg broken
as well as being punctured about the
body, losing the toe on his right foot
and suffering a severe scalp wound.
The damages asked for are for in
juries, hospital bill and general dam
ages to the machine. The case will
be tried at the November term of the
district court in Devils Lake.

chemical, the. Minneapolis Drug com

PRIZES OFFERED
IN FLY-KILLING
(Special to the Tribune)
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 7
When one of the big newspapers of
this city offered a prize for the boy
killing the most flies by the third of
July, the author of the idea, Mr. Tom
Brown, a leading business man of the
city, had no notion of the size of the
undertaking he had inaugurated. On
the third of July the boys were in
structed to bring their flies to the
Daily Express office and have them
counted. In the vernacular of the
times, the boys were "there with the
goods." Flies were brought in by the
sack full, in paper boxes, in paper
bags, and a few brought the result of
their hunt in express wagons. Count
ing the catch was out of the ques
tion. The only means of determining
who had won was by measuring. That
the fly pest, which is said to be re
sponsible in all parts of the coun-
materially lessened in San Antonio is
true, and it is most interesting to note
the various methods employed by the
boys to capture the insects. That the
boys of San Antonio have been busy
"swatting the fly" for the past three
weeks is very much in evidence and
this novel anti-fly campaign has
started a similar movement in many
other cities and towns, in addition to
teaching the necessity for careful san
itation and that it is easier to prevent
disease than to cure it.

THE EAST
(By Associated Press)
PITTSBURG, July .7. Although
three deaths occurred this morning
from heat, the torrid spell here has
been broken. The temperature at 9
a. m. was 79, compared with 88 at
the same time yesterday. Since the
beginning of the warm weather a
week ago there have been 50 deaths
and 80 prostrations.
HOT AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July 7. Relief
from heat came to practically every
large city in the country, except Balti
more and Washington, which were in
cluded in the little circle monopolizing
all that is left of the record-breaking
hot wave of the past week. The tor
rid region extends from northern Vir
ginia to southeastern Pennsylvania,
including Maryland, New Jersey and
the District of Columbia, where the
temperature is practically what it has
been for a week. Relief may be ex
pected here not later than tonight, ac
cording to the weather bureau.
Marked reactions in temperature
are reported from New England, New
York, Pennsylvania and the lake re
gions, and it is somewhat cooler in
the lower Ohio and upper Mississippi
valleys. It is slightly warmer over
the northern plains and in the Rocky
mountain region, but this will be of
short duration, as the change to cooler
has already set in along the northern
Pacific coast. The temperature at 8
o'clock was 80, as it has been at the
same hour for the last four mornings.
DR. REILLY ON TRIAL.
(By Associated Press)
LANGDON, N. D., July 7—Dr. J. J.
Reilly was arraigned in district court
today for trial on a charge of murder
in the second degree. Successive mo
tions were made for the setting aside
of the information and a demurrer was
filed as well as a challenge of the jury
panel. The motion for setting aside
the information was denied and the
demurrer was overruled. The jury
panel challenge has not been decided
yet. This challenge is made on the
ground that the coroner, instead of
the sheriff, participated in the draw
ing.
After the trial of Reilly the Nellie
Gande case will be called. Miss Gande
was a nurse in the employ of Dr.
Reilly at the time of the death ot Mrs.
William Drury, a patient.
