GOVERNMENT IS
i BEATEN IN COURT
BY 'STEELTRUST'
Tnited States District Court it Tren
ton Holds Great Corporation
Need Not Be Dissolved.
AN INJUNCTION IS REFUSED
Foreign Trade of Company Declared
Not to Be in Violation of the
Sherman Law.
PRICE FIXING RULED ILLEGAL
TRENTON. N. J.. June 3.
. The derision In the United Slates
Steel corporation suit was filed In
' the United States district court
this afternoon. It held that the
corporation should not be dis
solved. The principal points in
the decision are:
It refuses to issue any injunc
tion. It holds the foreign trade of
the steel corporation ia not a vio
lation of the Sherman law.
It holds certain price fixing
agreements which followed the
1 Gary dinners, but which stopped
Wore the bill was filed, to have
been unlawful.
It allows the government to
move to retain jurisdiction of the
bill if such price-fixing prac
tices are renewed, but suggests
matters may now be controlled by
the new trade commission.
Wkat Opinions Are.
The opinions, twoln number, are largely
a discussion whether the steel corpora
tion monopolized the steel trade or dealt
unfairly with competitor or purchasers.
. The opinion says:
"This case, a proceeding under the
Sherman anti-trust law. Is one largely
of business facts."
It says all the trust cases thus far de
termined settle down to this, that only
such combinations are within the Sherman
act aa) by reason of Intent of those form
ing them, or the Inherent nature of their
contemplated Act. wrong the publlo by
unduly restricting competition or Unduly
obstructing the course ' of ' trade. 'It
further holds the questions of fact for
the court to determine whether, when
the bill was filed, the steel company was
unduly restricting competition or unduly
obstructing trade. In the horn market.
Whether It was restricting competition
or unduly obstructing trade la the for
eign market; and lastly, had the steel
corporation these objects In view when it
was formed In 1901 T The opinion holds
the proofs show, when the bill was filed,
the competitors of the steel' company
were doing 60 per cent of the country's
steel and iron business.
Not Rise bat Power.
The text of majority opinion says It is
not the slse of that which Is acquired,
but the trade power of that which Is not
acquired. In the ten years since the steel
corporation "was formed It "has Increased
Its business about 40 per cent. Nine
Krcat competing steel companies hsve
Increased theirs more, the lowest one A3
per rent, the highest 1.700 per cent.
With the completion of the Erie canal,
Lake Superior ores can be ' brought
cheaper to New York harbor than to
Pittsburgh. This meanH, the opinion
says, blast furnaces on New York harbor
waters. On the basis of the actual Iron
units In ore, Cuban ores can be delivered
In Philadelphia at one-half the cost of
Lake Superior.
Facts and figures show that there Is no
possibility of Lake Superior ore monop
oly. . .
The Cambria Steel company president,
the opinion said, showed that the United
Ftates Steel could not put It out of bus
iness. James R. Garfield, former secretary of
Commerce, according to the opinion,
showed the Steel corporation got no
freight rebates.
Two Rallaara la Case.
There were two opinions filed In the
rase. Judge Bufflngton wrote the opinion,
which was concurred In by the other three

Eltseb Arredondo, head of the Car

lowing comment on, ' President WUson'i
Mexican statement:
"I believe that President Wilson's note
la largely due to the lack of relations
between the government of the United
States and the constitutionalists govern
ment of Mexico and that this has given
room to the many falsa reports which
have victimized General Carransa, at
tributing to him acts and omissions of
which he is lncspable.
Mr. Carransa lately has ordered the ad
vance of his troops toward the City of
Mexico; which he will undoubtedly take
before the week is over, and I understand)
he will - Immediately establish there a
provisional civil administration until he
can wipe out the remnants of the reac
tionaries and convene the people to the
election of officers of a constitutional
government.
"There is no danger, therefore, that
strife may prolong Itself In Mexico and
cause greater calamities for the people,
which I am Inclined to believe Is the
only thing that worries the government
of the Tnited States.''

WASHINGTON. June 3. Presi

on the new note to Germany.
The situation had developed to a
point where, although the visit" of
Count Ilernstorff, the German am
bassador, to the president yesterday
was believed likely to enlighten the
lierlin Foreign office on the attitude
ot the United State. The American
government is unmoved In Its Inten
tion to determine promptly whether
German submarine commanders will
hereafter respect the principles of
International law.
The fact upon which the German gov
ernment asked agreement, tt la now
practically certain. ' will be treated by
the note as irrevaleat with on excep
tion. It is understood that tha note will
restate that ths LwsUsaU swea a
peaceful erutae, did not reetst capture
and was unarmed. All the other points
raised by Germany aro deemed Irrevelant
under ths law of natlona.
The purpose of the United States In the
new not will be to dlseever whether
Germany will In the future, on encoun
tering vessels of any nationality that are
unarmed, transfer passenger and crew
to places of safety should a vessel, rar
rytng contraband, . be certain of con
demnation In a prtie court, and therefor
subject to destruction.

LONDON, June 3. After a siege
cf three weeks the fortress of Prse

Austrlans. The Russians were lo
possession a little over seventy, days.
This news was received in London
with a certain degree of surprise.
While It had been well known that
the Russian position at Przemysl wai
serious and that the artillery fire of
the Germanic allies was daily becoming-
more terrific, the announcement
of an Austrian victory waa not ex
pected so quickly, particularly in
view of the official statement from
Petrograd of last Monday saying the
Anatro-German grip before Pnemysl
had been broken and that the offen

had passed to the Russians.

The Austrian entered Praemysl st S:X
o'clock this morning after hammering
with heavy guns that 1 sated, mora than
twenty day. The capitulation cf
Prsemysl must b ascribed to tha t
feotivwoeaa of this artillery onslaught.
Tha occupation of tha fortress by the
Austrian wtll remove th danger of th
Russian threat against Craow.
Whan th Russians starved out th
Austrian garrison at Prsemysl, an oper
ation which brought them Into th fort

sywtenmticalty, conserving the lives of
their . men as much as possible. The
method whioh th Auetro-Oerroiuia have
been employing recently to aooompllah
