MACHINERY FIRM.
UPHOLD LOWER COURT RULING
High Tribunal Held That It la Net
Liberty to Past on Indictment In
Cage, but Muat Accept Interprets
tien ef Court Below.
Washington, Feb. 4. Tli unit of the
"Untied States against the I'nlted Shoo
Machinery company wtia disn.iif.sed by
the 1'nlted States Supreme court,
which held that thn combination
charged against Sydney Winslow and
other officers was not In violation of
the Sherman anti-truat law.
No Restraint of Trade.
The Supremo court held It Is not at
liberty to pans on the Indictments In
the cane, but must accept tlu Interpre
tation of the court below. Accepting
this Interpretation, the Supremo court
held that the combination of three
companies which tlid nat crmiete with
one another could not produce re
straint of competition.
Werger of Companies Charged.
' It was charged that the shoe ma
chinery corporation took over tho busl.
neiw of tho Consolidated and McKay
lasting Machine company, rranufac
turing 70 per cent, of :;11 heyling ma
chines and SO per cent, of nil metallic
fastening machines, and of the flood
year Shoe Machinery company, nimu
facturlng SO per cent, of all i!-.? welt
vewing and outsole stitching machines.
The government alleged that this put
about 80 per cent, of tho business of
manufacturing shoe machinery Into
one concern and that that being an
"undue proporiion" of the trade was a
violation of the law. It did not claim
that there had beon unfair competi
tion, as in tho Standard Oil and to
bacco caEes. t
Defense of the Company.
The Shoe Machinery ofPclsIs de
dared the Supreme court could not re
view the action of the Massachusetts
courts because the criminal appeal
act was repealed by not being includ
ed In the judicial code of 1912. and
also claimed that the organization of
the corporation was a normal trade de
velopment. They further urged that
tho groups consolidated into the cor
poraton were non-competing and that
the leasing system waa justified by
the patent laws.
Court Adjourns Until Feb. 34.
The Supreme court took a recess
until Monday. February 24, without
announcing any decision In the slate
rate cases or the Intarmounta'n rata
rase.

Surrender to the Balkan Allies the
Attack on Besieged Fortress Will
Be Resumed.
Uindoii, Feb. 4. Indirection In the
Turkish army is imminent as the last
hours of the four-day armistice draw
to close. The prospect of an agree
ment between Turkey and her foee
la exceedingly dim, and the future of
the Ottoman army appears altogether
depressing. At seven In the evening,
unless Turkey surrenders. firin(-r will
oe.Klu again. No hope Is expressed
lhat the powers will bo able to ar
range an elevonth-huur compromise,
blnce their attitude Indicates that
they have exhausted every resource.
Turkey has decided to assume tan
defensive and to let the allied forces
of Bulgaria, Greece. Montenegro and
Servla fire tho first shot.
The Inner strife which Jeopardizes
tho colidari- of the Turkish army
was occasioned by the assassination
of Na,:im Palisa, commander In chief
and the Idol of the soldiery.
Young Turk Leader Repulsed.
Enver Hey. the Young Turk leader,
who took such a prominent ptrt In re
cent events in the capital, went in an
automobile to the headquarters of the
army at Hademkoui In order to win
I he support of tho troops, but tho sol
diery forcibly prevented him from
alighting.
It Is regarded now as too late to
etop the Insurrection In the ranks.
The Kurdish cavalry stationed in
h! Asiatic section of Constantinople
.ird In the great Seliinye barracks,
made a formal demand for the execu
tion of the murderers of Nazlni
Trrha.
Tho men refused to obey the war
Ulster's command to return to their
vr.es.
Shukrl Pasha, the Turkish com
".under at Adrianople, has caused an
inquiry to be made into the clrcuin
Ftances of Naziin's death and has an
nounced his Intention of going to Con
stantinople after the conclusion of the
war to avenge the murder of his
friend. lie has also gathered informa
tion about a large number of officers
whom he expects tc punish for the
murder of Nailm.
To Combine Against Adrianople.
The immediate object of the armies
of the allies Is the capture of Ad
rianople, which has hitherto present
ed such a firm front to its besiegers.
Cpoa this fortress the combined Bul
garian and Servian armies, the latter
well supplied with siege artillery, will
concentrate their exertions.
For the present at any rate, tbe
tlulgarifin generals will Bimply try to
hold the Turkish troops at Tchatalja.
King Nicholas of Montenegro has
already started again for the Turkish
fortress of Scutari. The king will
himself take the direction of the re
newed attack. lie hopes by capturing
the city and thus establishing an ac
complished fact to obtain a better
chance of keeping definite posbesslou
of it when peace finally comes.
The Turkish government, like that
of Bulgaria, will not allow newspape,
correapondentt to accompany the
armies In the field. Mahmoud Shef
ht Pasha, tbe grand vizier, stated
emphatically that he would not allow
any correspondents within twenty
miles of the lines.
