An Associated Press dispatch says: Officials of the department of justice declined to grant a further personal conference to W. H. Gray, an attor ney of Houston, Tex., to urge the im mediate arrest of John D. Archbold, H. C. Folger, jr., and W. C. Teagle, of the Standard Oil company, on their indictment At Dallas, Tex., for the alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Mr. Gray issued a statement criticising Attorney Gen eral Wickersham for not having served the warrants on the Stand ard Oil officials. He was requested to present in writing all evidence in his possession in connection with the case to the department. An important decision was handed down in the bath-tub trust case by the United States supremo court. The court laid down the "broad principle that there can be no monopoly' in the unpatented product of a patented machine without violating the Sher man anti-trust law. Justice McKen na delivered the unanimous opinion of the court. Referring to this opinion the "Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia North American says: Tn accordance with this doctrine, the court struck down as illegal the ii valine ctBicciucuia uy nuivu manufacturers of 85 per cent of the sanitary enameled ironware in the United States were bound together in combination. The license agree ments allowed the manufacturer to use a patented dredger, but only on condition that they abide by an at tached price list, would not sell to jobbers who bought from indepen dents, would not sell in certain ter ritory and would not sell "seconds."

Four years successful eperatlen.- arrest practically simultaneously of 173 persons in the principal cities of the country, was made by post office inspectors and United States marshals upon doctors and drug con cerns., charged with misuse of the mails to solicit criminal medical prac tice, or to dispose of medicines or I instruments connected with such practice. The jaid, the, most' "exten sive and far-re,aching ever made by any department of the govehment, was under the personal direction of Postmaster General Hitchcock and Chief Inspector Robert S. Sharp of the postoffice department. So care fully had "its details been guarded that until the first of the arrests were made at In.dianapolis, early in the day, practically nothing was known of the government's contemplated action. Working with clocklike pre cision, the inspection forces spread over twenty-two 3tates, carried out the prearranged plans, and at an early hour 'the postoffice department had received word that practically all of the designated persons had been arrested. well as anti-trust suits already filed against the moving-picture trust and the United Shoe Machinery company. The decision is regarded as vitally important because of the govern ment's claim that the -'patent license agreement" plan was being adopted by many concerns as a result of the judicial bah upon the "pure trust" plan, as exemplified in the case of the Standard Oil company, o, Ohio; the "holding company" nlan, as de clared invalid in the Northern Se curities case; and the combination of a holding company and a manufac turing Company, as snowan;in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases.

Following ia a dispatch to the Lin coln, Neb., Journal: Agricultural lands in forest reserves amounting to over. 1,200,000 acres have been listed for segregation by Director Graves of the forestry service, and will be opened for homestead entry in tho near future, according to an announcement just made by the chief forester. Mr. Graves has just re turned toWashingtpn after several months' absence in the west, during which time he has been making a tour of inspection of the national forests. The trip was undertaken immediately at the close of the last session of congress. "I gave special attention to the work of classification of agricultural lands in the forests." s&id Mr. Graves. "Since authority was granted by congress in 19 06 for the segregation of agrlcultural'lands w A special dispatch to the Louis ville Courier-Journal says: The ques tion of holding primaries in their districts, to decide who shall get federal Jobs under the Wilson ad ministration is dividing democratic members of congress. Representa tive Jack Beall, of Texas, and Ben jamin G. Humphries, of Mississippi, who are taking the lead in advocat ing that all democratic congressmen adopt that course, were today op posed by Representative Robert L. Henry, of Texas, that President-elect Wilson, who, after all, will make the appointments, will be asked for an opinion on the perplexing problem. Mr. Henry received a petition from some of his constituents in which it was stated that the patronage ques tion is worrying the democrats down in the cattle country. The document concluded with a plea that Mr. Henry stand by, tho old system and recom mend his friends for appointment as postmasters, revenue collectors, dis trict attorneys, etc. Mr. Henry re plied that he took no stock in the new fangled idea. As Mr. Henry is a progressive democrat, and was one of Mr. Wil son's earliest supporters, his attitude on this advanced primary idea is regarded as important. "A primary to determine who A dispatch to the Philadelphia Public Ledger says: The opening attack upon the constitutionality of the sections of the recent postal ap propriation act, requiring newspapers to publish a list of their subscribers, stockholders and bondh.olders, as well as to label paid political articles as advertisements, was made before the supreme court of the United States in a. printed brief filed by Robert C. Morris and G. B. Plante on behalf of the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, of New York. The case is set for argument oraUy on December 2. The attorneys for the newspaper contend principally that the act violates the constitutional liberty of the 25..000 newspapers, magazines and periodicals published through out the United States. Unlike public service corporations, the newspapers, the attorneys claim, possess no elements which give the government a right to regulate their business except in so far as the public morals or public welfare is concerned. A, Philadelphia Public Ledger dis patch says: The ..vexing. questions of wheXo the line shaljTb'e; drawn be tween bpoks andl periodicals in the mails of the "United 'States was passed on today by the supreme court when it refused to interfere with the postmaster general's decision to withdraw second-class mailing privi leges from the Tiptop Weekly and Work and Win, two New, York publications. A newspaper dispatch says: Sena tor Works of California, will intro duce a resolution when congress re convenes for the amendment of the constitution providing for the elec tion of president and vice president by the direct vote of the people. Tho senator will urge in support of tho measure that in addition to uu directness, it would have an ad vantage of the present method in that it would avoid the possibility of a presidential election by the houso or vice presidential election by the senate.
