Government Wins I
. Civil Suit Against
. tHe Bathtub Trust
BALTIMORE. Oct. 13 -In tha United
States circuit Court here ..today Judge
John- C. Rose rendered a decision In
favor of tha government in Its dissolu
tion suit against the Standard Sanitary
Manufacturing company and others, tha
rso-called "bath tub" trust. Judge Prlteh-
ard concurred with Judge Rosa, while
Judge .Ooff. dissented that -tha decision is
most too sweenlng'ia Its character. Edwin
P. ,Grosvnor, special assistant to--the
United Stataa attorney, and United States
District "Atttorney PhiUlp Hlir of Balti
more, who .conducted tha esse for tha
govamment. stated today that todays
decision supports 'the government's con
tention on every point.
Tba action was brought ' under tha
Sherman ' anti-trust s law. In ' case of an
appeal , it will go. direct to the United
States supreme court.
While this decision "Is in a separate
case from tha. criminal action against tha
alleged trust at Detroit, the proceedings
ooncera the same' subject matter and
are against tha same defendants.
Under the court's ruling Edwin U.
Wayman. patentee ot an enamel dredger,
wbo issued licenses of tha patent to th
defendant concerns, ts. held as much sub
ject to the laws governing monopoly as
any other man. and while he still has
the right to exclude all others . from
msicing use or nis patents, tie cannot
have tha right -to sell indulgences" In
.violation of the anti-trust act. It was on
tha patent holdings of Wayman that .tba
fifty defendants in the case upheld tha
right of their action in tha combine and
tha government maintains that this was
but a subterfuge.
Judge Goff s. opinion in dissent was
brief. He held that tha facts estab
lished by the testimony considered in the
light of the law applicable thereto com
pel . me to conclude . that the allegations
of the petition have not bean sustained."
DETROIT. , Oct 13.-The criminal cases
against more than a score of firms and
Individuals-alleged to be in . the "batb
tub" trust probably wilj come up at the
November term"6f the federal court
here. All the defendants have pleaded not
guilty. ,'

Taft s first complete speech in California -
was delivered here todav from the step
of tha st st capltol building. TJie preal.
dent spoke In behalf of proposed trestles
with Nicaragua and Hondurst and vigor
ously defended the policy of th adminis
tration, which ha said "muckraking
journals" have labelled "dollar diplo

ssld the proposed treaties with these
countries before tha sensta would secure
tor them a financial agent In the United -
States who Would settle their existing
debts oh a just basis snd who would
point the road to peace and prosperity
to two republic rich In natural resources,
bat torn by' strife snd revolution.
Th president pointed out th efficacy
of a similar sirangsment with fanto
Domingo, where this government collected
the customs and tees that foreign debts
are paid, according to a beneficent super
vision that Mr Taft Said has accrued
to th upbuilding ot Panto Domingo. Oh.
Jectlnn to the treaties In th United States

would make entangling alliance with

not enter Into this treaty for the promo
tion of it own banking business or that
of any of tg eltiseqs. It was thought ad
visable to favor a contract with American
bankers rather than with foreign banker,
be a use suob a contract would tend to
keep trad with America. This Is the
correct object and purpose of diplomatic
negotiation." '
Address ef e Preside.
The president said:
Id hi opening remarks the president
tola of the presentation to tb senate for
ratification of the treaties that had btn
negotiated to secure loans tor th repub
lics ot Honduras and Nicaragua, and of
the progress of th desire of peace gen
erally among nations. The conditions
that prevail In the smaller republic on
tb American continent were sketched,
arid the Importance of their having stable
government shown. Canto Domingo was
cited as an illustration. Sine the plan
ot President Roosevelt for control ox the
finances of that country has been effec
tive, its debt is being rapidly dlaoharged.
Its revenues ar greater than ever. Us
people are at ' peace and capital la being
employed and enterprise extended. The
continual menace to peace of the turbu
lent government in the. smaller countries
of Our continent, and the desirability df
having them on a peaceful basis was
pointed out, and tb president went on,
referring to tba main topic:
"There 1 a very decided objection in
the senate to the approval of theae
treaties I doubt if I can fairly state
these objections. This Is due, 'perhaps,
to the depth of my oonvlrtlon that th
trsatie ought to be ratified because they
are of the utmost importance in th pro
motion of peace on this bemlsphere. In a
region where there has been no peace,
Tha general argument seems to be that
e ought not to Involve ourselves In en
tangling alliances with republics In this
hemisphere, or to engage in what seems
a mere banking arrangement for the pro
motion ef a banking contract. It Is ob
jected that this Is 'dollar diplomacy,' and
I hat we ought to have none of It. Give,
