Gives Reason for Dissenting
from Majority in Standard
Oil Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 17.—The die- i
senting opinion of Justice Harlan in'
the Standard Oil case is a strong argu
ment against the view taken by the
majority of file court, and is in part as j
follows:
"I feel It my duty to file my disseni I
to the views expressed in the opinion I
of the majority of the court.
"Congress declared every contract in
restraint of trade between the States
illegal. The tirst section of the act of 1
1890 reads ‘every contract:’ it does not!
declare that certain contracts, but that
every contract, combination in thd
fl-orni of trust or otherwise or con
spiracy in restraint of trade or com
merce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, is hereby declared
to be illegal ‘ Nothing could be plainer.
Every contract in restraint of trade.
The lawyers in congress when that pro
hibition was framed understood the
meaning of the language they em
ployed
“It is true that there has been
raised for years th» contention that
the act of Congress did not restrain
reasonable contracts in restraint of
trade, but only unreasonable contracts.
Counsel' in this court have in effect
been required to take their seats for
arguing in support of this contention.
Since the law was enacted attempts
have been made practically at every
session of Congress since then to have
tlie law amended so ns to give a legis
lative interpretation in support of this
contention.
Includes Every Contract.
“But the fact remains that up until
this day Congress lias been satisfied
with the law as written in this respect,
and today the law stands that every
contract in restraint of ti-.de Is illegal.
“If the law as written is to be
amended, Congress is the only consti
tutional coordinate branch of the gov
ernment with power to amend it. It
does not rest with this court by a
process of judicial legislation, wholly
unjustifiable, to read into the law
words not written there by the legis
lative branch ot the government. It
has never been amended. There is no
man in this country today who doesn't
know it would not be amended.
"The most alarming tendency of this
day, in my Judgment, so far as our in
stitutions arc concerned, is the tend
ency of judicial delay. When men of
vast interests uro concerned, and they
cannot got lawmakers to enact amend
ments to construe the law- as they de
* sire, they spare no efforts to get some
cases before the courts in an effort to
have the courts construe the constitu
tion and the statute to mean what they
want them to mean. The courts are
full of cases which attempt to have
laws construed.
"We have announced our view upon
the law of iS90. and it has been accept
ed and acted upon. I suppose millions
of property has changed hands under
the decisions of 1896 and 1898. Prosecu
. tions have been instituted and people
have been sent to jail under the act of
lR9fl as construed by tills court. Now
the court in the opinion in this case
says that this act of Congress applies
only to unreasonable restraint. That is
what the great combinations, fifteen
years ! ago, said Congress intended.
Vow we are- to change the rule that
lias so long been laid down and say
11icit an agreement may he made In re
straint of Interstate trade provided it
is lawful restraint.
"The opinion today means that the
courts may. by mere judicial construc
tion. amend the constitution of the
United States and amend the statutory
laws.'

VETERAN PUTS BLAME OF
, CIVIL WAR ON LINCOLN.
Former Confederate Disclaims
Any Bitterness.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 17.—‘T.ln
coin was to blame for the Civil War,” 1
declared R. C. Cave, of St. Louis, in an
address before th<‘ United Confederate
Veterans at their reunion here yester
day.
Declaring that he spoke not in bit
terness, but was simply discussing the
facts of history, and that ho accepted
the changed conditions brought about
by the war. Mr. Cave said:
"Nevertheless. I i • »ld that the. re
sponsibility for the Civil War, with all
the blood and treasure that it cost and
all the desolation and ruin that it
wrought, Justly rests upon Abraham
Lincoln and his advisers. When the
Confederacy fell the republic, as
formed by the fathers, perished. The
States were robbed of their independ
ence and became subject provinces of
a centralized national authority. They
tell us this is best. It may hi* so. But
I beseech you to pardon an old Con
federate soldier if he cannot see it
HO.”
A telegram of greeting sent by Pres
ident Taft and said to be the first mes
sage of the kind ever sent to a Con
federate reunion by a Republican Pres
ident, was received with cheers.

(COUPON No. 34S5.)
DR. LABAN DENNIS, WHO IS
AGAIN CHOSEN PRESIDENT
OF NEWARK ACADEMY.
Standard of Scholarship Raised.
Graduating Class Numbers
Thirty=three.
The annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Newark Academy was held
at the Academy building yesterday
afternoon. C. Edwin Young was elect
ed chairman of the meeting . . I YViil
iani »S. Ilartshoine, secretary, i.’cpn.ts
of tlie year's work were presented !>y
the president of the trustees, Dr. Laban
Dennis, Head Master Wilson Farrand
and tin? treasurer, showing th insti
tution to be in a prosperous condition.
.1. William Clark, W illiam s. Harts
horne and C. Edwin Young were te
clected trustees for a term of three
years.
After the adjournment of the stock
holders’ meeting, the trustees met and
organized by the reelection of Dr. La
bun Dennis, president; William T. Car
ter. vice-president, and William S.
Hartshorne, secretary and treasurer.
Tlte reports presented contained a
number of items of interest. The* total
enrollment for th*' year is 326, every
place in the school having been taken,
and a large number of boys declined for
lack of room. The graduating class
this year numbers thirty-three. Twenty
seven of these expect to enter college.
Ten will probably go to Princeton, six
to Cornell, two each to Yale. Will
iams, Rutgers and Dartmouth, and one
each to Stevens, Columbia and the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology.
Scholarship Knhcd.
The head master called special atten
tion in his report to the success of the
efforts that have been made during the
last year to raise the standard percent
age of scholarship in the school, and
presented figures showing the increased
percentage of pupils who were doing
commendable work. A new heating
plant has been installed in the school
building during the year, and a number
of minor alterations made.
Fire escapes have also been placed on
the building. These* have not^ been con
sidered necessary, as the means of exit
from the building are so ample that it
would be practically Impossible for pu
pils to be trapped anywhere in the
building, even by the most rapidly
spreading flames. Tt has been thought
best, however, to guard against even
the most remote contingencies.
When the circus parade passed the
school on Monday the tire signal was
given, and the entire buildl r was
emptied without crowding or congestion
in forty-six seconds. It has been done
a number of times before in less than a
minute, but this was about ten seconds
better than the best previous record.
JOKI ORDERS SENATORS

ton. presented a resolution yesterday
calling upon all Senators who voted
for thr* anti-pass bill to return all their
pass books and annual cards and her -
after to pay their fares.
The resolution was adopted. It reads,
in part:
"Innumerable Senators did by tin ir
votes support ibe passage of the bill
In question, and coincident with such
support, both before and after the paa- '
sage of such bill, had been' and still i

TAFT EULOGIZES
MD AS PATRIOT
Favors Erection of Memorial to
Man M ho Financed Revolu*
tionary Mar.
WASHINGTON. May 16.—"I came
here tonight, not to make a speech, but
to second the motion that a memorial
be raised to the Jew who stood by
Robert Morris and financed the Ameri
can revolution.” said President Taft
last night to a large audience as
sembled In the Eighth .Street Jewish |
Temple in the interest of the move- !
ment for the erection of a monument :
in this city to I-Iaym Salomon. Mr. ,
Taft declared that the man who wears
a sword and epaulets is not the only
patriot; that money is the sinews of
war, and Salomon furnished large sums
from his own pocket when financial
support was most needed by the
founders of this government.
Eulogizing the Jew as a citizen the
President said:
"No great charity, no movement for
artistic development could live were it
not for the support given by the Jews.”
His statement that it is the duty of
the President of the United States to
"testify to his interest in every re
ligion fostered under the flag” was
greeted with prolonged applause.
The Rev. Dr. Abram Simon, presid
ing. introduced the President as the
c hampion of religious, as well as poli
tical. reciprocity.
Dr. Peter* n Speaker.
The Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, of !
New York, made an earnest plea that
"the people <>f this republic, now in
the days of their prosperity, erect at
Washington a monument to Ilaym
Salomon, who did as much in estab
lishing the nation’s credit as Washing
ton did on the* field of battle for the
people's freedom.” Dr. Peters told at
length the history of Salomon, who.
he said, advanced more than $650. 01
to the revolutionary government, not
one pent of which *»ver was paid back
to him’or to tils heirs.
ACCUSES HIS SALESMAN
OF EMBEZZLING $1,000.
Titus Trial Postponed for Em=
ployer to Produce Books.
Court proceedings in the rase of
Cornelius Smith, a wholesale flour mer
chant, who charges Nicholas O. Titus,
one of his salesmen, with the embez
zlement of over $1,000, were abruptly
ended when Samuel Leber, counsel tor
the defendant, demanded that the books
of the concern be brought to court.
Judge Hahn agreed with Mr. Leber,
and the case was laid over for two
days.
According to Mr. Smith, Titus was
employed us a salesman at the rate
of $30 a week. A short time ago it
was decided, according to Mr. Smith,
to put Titus on a commission basis.
Then Titus collected over $1,000. Which
! he failed to turn over to the firm, it
| was alleged.
Herman Link, of 128 McWhorter
street, testified that he had paid sev
eral bills to Titus, and these receipts
were offered as evidence. Leo Dorep,
of 72 Mulberry street, offered testi
mony of the same character. When
Harry 13. Haver, n clerk in the employ
of .Mr. Smith, produced a copj of the
accounts of Titus Mr. Leber offered his
objection, which was sustained by the
court.
Titus gives his address as 225 Sixth
avenue, while Smith gives 10 North
Fourteenth street.
HOSPITALS TO TAKE A FEW
NURSERY MEASLES PATIENTS
The recent outbreak of measles, com
plicated with infectious diseases, at the
Eighth Avenue Baby Shelter and Day
Nursery, engaged the attention of the
Hoard of Health at its ineetihg last
night for an hour. Dr. Talbot, of the
City Hospital!, told the members of the
board that the hospital could take care
of o few eases of measles at times, but
that measles complicated with infec
tious diseases, such as diphtheria and
scarlet fever, was beyond their juris
diction.
It wa• finally decided to notify the !
nursery that a. few cases of simple ■
measles could be taken care of at the j
City Hospital, and it v as also decided j
to request the Soho Isolation Hospital)
to make arrangements to tul. care of
the complicated cases. Otto Schnlk i
was appointed chairman of the mos- 1
rpiito extermination committee to sue. :
eeed John Dobbins, who recently re- i
signed from the board.

NE WARMER LANDS STEER
WITH HIS ROD AND REEL
Frank M. Schulz, Artist, Per*
forms Record Feat in
Florida.
Frank M. Schulz, an artist and an
gler. of 12 Stratford place, lias the dis
tinction of being perhaps the only man
who ever caught a full-grown steer
with a rod and reel. It happened a
couple of weeks ago in Florida.
Mr. Schulz and Ms companion. R. D.
Foster, had just left the wharf in front
of George It. Schulz's hotel, at Punta
Rassa, Fla., in a small motorboat, a
mere skiff with an engine In it. They
were on their way to the fishing pools
up the river.
The steamer Mildred, which plies be
tween Punta Rassa and Key West, was
at the cattle wharf near the hotel tak
ing on a load of range cattle front
the pens for the regular Monday morn
ing trip. Just as the little motorboat |
was abreast of the stearrer a big black |
long-horned steer jumped over the run- i
way with the agility of a stag and j
plunged into fifteen feet of water.
It came up glistening In the sun and
seemed dazed for a moment. Then
it struck out against the tide, heading
for the gulf, two miles £way.
i*----—
Schulz wanted to take the bull by
the horns, but both Foster and the
guide put up strenuous objections, for
fear that the animal would want to
Join the party In the boat. Schulz had
his rod ready and his nerve with him.
Me watched his chance and cast about,
a dozen feet at the steer's head. Th
line-wrapped around one horn and th >
hook took hold in the knob between
the horns.
The steer shook its head in vain M
Schulz put on the strain. He was us
ing a 12-thread-linen and a 7H-ounce
greenheart rod, with a plain multiply
ing reel and thumb pad. He fought
tile steer for three-quarters of an hour,
while his negro guide deftly manipu
lated the boat and Foster sat in the
pivoted chair making caustic remarks
Finally Mr. Schulz got the steer
headed toward the beach, where twi
men belonging to the cattle outfit roped
the scared anil weary creature and got
it Into the corral, whence It was driven
aboard the Mildred, having delayed the
sailing for more than an hour. A
Mr Schulz accepted the congratu-/
tlons of friends in a modest way, but
there was the usual knot of jealous
old anglers who pooh-poohed the feat
and said that anybody could catch and
land a steer, given the lucky oppor
tunity.
