Harlan nied a new dissenting opinion 80,000 words long in tho trust case decided by tho supremo court. The United States supreme court handed down its decision in tho "tobacco trust" cases, Monday, May 29, in which It held the trust to bo a combination in restraint of trade, a violation of the law. Chief Justice Whlto announced the decision, which was practically unanimous, although Justice Harlan dissented on several points. As in the Standard Oil case, Justice Harlan resents the applica tion of the "rule of reason" to the Sherman anti-trust law. A Washington dispatch, carried by the Associated Press, under date of May 29, says: "The government today won a sweeping victory over the so-called 'tobacco trust' when the supreme court of the United States held the American Tobacco company and its allied corporations to be operating in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. By direct ing that the combination be forbid den the privilege of interstate com merce or be placed in the hands of a receiver, unless it disintegrated in harmony with the law, within six, or at tho most eight months, the court is regarded to have dealt with the tobacco corporations more drastically than with the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, whose dissolution was ordered two weeks ago. "Both the first and second sections of the Sherman anti-trust law have been violated by the so-called tobacco trust, according to the court. Not only has it restrained wrongfully and unlawfully interstate commerce in the eyes of the court, but it has attempted to monopolize the tobacco business to the Injury of the public and of its competitors. "Tho court reiterated its determi nation to follow the 'rule of reason' In determining what restraints of trade violate the Sherman anti-trust law. Chief Justice White explained at length the decision of the court in the Standard oil case, but did not qualify the reasoning in that case so as to harmonize It In anv nartiRiilsn with the dissenting views expressed in that case by Associate Justijce Harlan and other critics of the de cision. "Tonight It is regarded as RPttiArl that the 'rule of reason' will pre vail in the courts of the land in the interpretation of the Sherman anti trust act, until, at least, the person nel of the' supreme court greatly changes or the Sherman anti-trust law is amended. "In reality the decision was noth ing less than a deliberate exemplifi cation of the application of tho 'rule of reason' to 'undisputed facts.' irom me date of organization of the first combination the court found that there was a purpose to acquire dominion and control of t.Ti trVhnn trade, not by the mere exertion of the ordinary right to contract and to trade, but by methods devised by driving competitors out of business "This purpose was carried out ruthlessly, according to the court, upon the theory or nlav nnrm , cupidity of competitors would make success possible. Such action, viewed In the 'light of reason,' was regarded by the court as violative of. the law "On practically every point on which the government appealed from the decision of the lower court it scored a victory today." down by Secretary of State Knox In tho tentative draft of this govern ment's proposal now la the hands of Great Britain and Franc. Count von Bornstorfr-the German ambassa dor at Washington, conveyed thlg in formation to Secretary Knox and asked for a copy of the basic proposi tion of tho United States." A Washington dispatch, dated May 29, says: "Germany today expressed willingness to enter into negotiations with the United States for a general arbitration treaty along tho lines laid THE MEXICAN SITUATION A Mexico City dispatch, carried by the Associated Press says that Presi dent Diaz Is seriously 111. Dispatch under date of May 25th says: En raged by the announcement that President Diaz and Vice President CorraH would not resign before to morrow, spectators in the galleries of tho chamber of deputies this after noon precipitated a riot that has resulted in at least three deaths and many wounded by volleys of police and troops. President Diaz has had fever for five days. Until 9 o'clock tonight the mob encountered practically no opposition and apparently little restriction- was necessary. Shouting vivas for Ma dero, they paraded the streets of the capital, but always in orderly fashion, except for the noise. Instances of vandalism were immediately con demned by thousands of marching men who joined in shouts of "order, order." At 6:30 it appeared that the crowd was dispersing. The main body had been broken into smaller groups, but at that time some of these had grown more demonstrative in the big plaza in front of the palace and the police determined that the time had come for drastic measures to be taken. The shouting, gesticulating mass of humanity was warned to move on, but a confidence born of better treatment earlier in the even ing caused them to ' receive with derision the order of the police. Again they were told to disperse, and again no attention was paid to the order. Quickly their shouts of ridicule were turned into cries of anguish for the guns Of the TinlinA ntA arAAnva were throwing into their midst a hall of bullets. The living stumbled In a mad rush over the bodies of the dead and wounded. The narrow street, extending from the Zocolo, were jammed with the squirming men and women.

The force of the Iron hand was weakening and despite the death It had brought the rioters refused to do more than scatter into miniature mobs each shouting for Madero and yelling for tho early downfall of the nresont envommanf In the midst of It all President Diaz lay on a sick bed. It was learned on authority this afternoon that despite optlmistio reports of his con dition, the president has shown several degrees of fever for the last five days. He declnes to see all visitors, Including members of tho diplomatic corps, and takes nothing hut liquid nourishment. Madam Diaz told a vistor this evening that the president's principal diet was warm milk. His condition is sidered serious by his family.
