EIQ VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT
t
PHILADELPHIA Oct. 1. The
United States government von a
sweeping Ylcto'ry in one of Its impor
tant anti-trust cases today, when
udge Oliver B. Dickinson in the
i nited States district court here,
banded down, an opinion dissolving
tbe alleged moving picture trust on
the ground that It was violating the
Sherman ' law regulating interstate
.,ymi1 rThe decision was rendered against
the Motion Picture Patents company,
the General Film company and many
other concerns and individuals man
ufacturing motion picture films and
accessories, or controlling the rights
of their manufacture. Many mil
lions of dollars are involved.
The court made no auggeatlona aa to
Itow the -alleged comtii nation ia to be
dissolved, but requested that a decree
ie aubinltted for approval. It ia probable
that the caae will be tuken to the u
preme court.
The defendanta in their arguments laid
stieaa upon the rights of thoae holding
patenta to-do with their property what
they thought beat, but the louit In Ita
opinion declared that the granting of a
patent dock not confer a license to do
that which the law condemns. The court
found that the defendant went far be
; yond what was necessary to rroteot
I patent rights and that their acta eon-
itituted a violation of the anti-trust laws.
4 Moropoly la Alef'jtht.
It waa charged by the government that
. the alleged monopoly waa formed In 1008
by virtually all the manufacturer of
movlnir picture films in the country. Un
der an agreement made by these con-c-irn8.
It. waa alleged, the Motion Picture
.enta company waa made the holding
oncern of nearly all the patenta that
have been Issued. A Hat of theater
. J and moving picture places waa prepared
jf, "nd no film exchange, it waa alleged.
waa allowed to distribute films to any
exhibitor except those named on the
list. . ... .
Uniform prices and rules were made, it
was further alleged,' and if the film ex
changes did not observe the orders of
the so-called trust, their supply was cut
off. ,
The ault was fUcd Auguat 16, 1912, and
final argument waa heard In December,
1914. The ault was conducted for. the
government by Edwin H. Grosvenor,
special assistant to the attorney general.
The defendanta named In the original
petition of complaint besides the .motion
picture patents company are General Film
company,' Blograph company,' Thomas A.
Edison (Inc.), Eeaanay Film Manufactur
ing company, the Kalem company (Inc.),
George Klelne. Lubm Manufacturing
company, Melies Manufacturing com
pany, Pathes Freres. the Sells; Polyscope
company, the Vltagraph company, Frank
U Dyer, Henry 'N. Marvin, J. J. Ken
nedy, William Helzer, Samuel Tong, J.
A. Berst. Gaton Mclles, Albert E. Smith,
George K. Spoor and W. N. Sellg.
The court In Its decision states that
all contracts enumerated In the govern
ment's petition and the combination
therein described, were a conspiracy In
restraint of trade, and therefore illegal
and that' they constituted, with the ex
ception of the operations of the Mclles
Manufacturing company, a monopoly In
olatlon of the anti-trust laws.
Htrrrlm O'opot'e Power.
The court sketched the formation of
the alleged Illegal combination, ahowing
that it was created in 1908, and that the
total Investments amounted to millions
of dollars. The plan was, according to
the court, to corblno the manufacturers
end Importers of films Into one Interest.

INTERNAL REVENUE GROWS
Increase of Two Hundred Per Cent
Over September of Last
Year.
BIO GAIN FOR QUARTER, TOO
BUILDING OPERATIONS
FOR SEPTEMBER GREATER
p.ulldlng operations .during September
In Omaha showed a decided Increase.
The city building department reports ISO
permits Issued, representing' a total In.
vestment of ITCR.OW. ' Beptomber IrM year
yielded aeventy-four permits and . a
total of U1I.3-V0. .
The' total for 'this year to date Is
13,724. ST.' Total for the corresponding
period of laat year was I4.1C2.TZ3.
It Is believed this year will enual It
not exceed the showing made laat year.
With several nearby states going dry,
Nebraska la atlll paying an Increased In
ternal revenue to I'ncle Sam, according
to the monthly and quarterly reporta by
Collector of Internal Itevenue George It.
l.oomla, '
An Increase of more than WO per cent
la shown In the total Internal revenue
collections during September, over the
corresponding month of 1S14. Ijist month
the collections amounted to l.M0.i7, a
oompared to only ts,40S.S4 In September
a year ago, a gain of about i.'.0ft.
While the September rei-ord of treb
ling last year's collections for the monlh
docs not hold good for the quarter alnce
July 1, the latter period also shows a re
markable gain, collections having almost
doubled, from about IC0.M0 to about
I7K5.0O0. , .
Chief Ieputy K. V. North of the col
lector's staff refused to comment on the
big gains, saying that such comment had
been forbidden by the commissioner , at
Washington. It Is known, however, that
the local distillery has been shipping
large quantities of whiskey to fill orders
all over the country, and that Is sup
posed to account In part for the Increase
I revenue.
Interm.l revenue comes not only from
liquor and tobacco t-ixes, but also from
Income taxra, war stamp taxea and many
other sources.

Tbe court in its decision failed to find
