The statute of limitations was practically the last line of breastworks that the trust men| had to fall back on and by its decision out into the open where they will have to fight on the sheer merits of the law and the facts. It is interesting to note that the de cision was rendered within a few minutes after the senate had unani- mously confirmed the appointment ot Associte Justice White who was among those who upheld this definition of the law. The attorney general was elated over the decision as was also United States District Attorney General Wise who was with Mr. Wickersham when news of the ruling reached the depart- ment All Must Stand Trial. | The attorney general sald that the! ‘curred in the opinion that it meant that all members of the sugar trust must stand trial. He issued instruc: tions to District Attorney Wise tc take steps to prepare the cases for trial as soon as the judgment of the court is made final. Mr. Wise re- turned to New York flushed with vic tory and ready to move the cases oi the sugar trust men for trial at the earliest possible moment. The decision handed down, was in “he case of Gustave Kissel, and Thom- as 8B. Harned, two of the indicted trust officials, which had been sub- mitted as a test case in the United States circuit of New York and which Judge Holt sustained the contention of defendants that prosecution for the alleged conspiracy was barred by the statute of limitation. Pending the decision of the supreme court on the mooted point, the cases egainst the other accused officials were temporarily laid aside, since it was agreed that if Kissel and Harned were exempt under the statute ot limitation the others also would have to undergo the same ordeal. KANSANS TO GO TO WASHINGTON Ths Mayor of Clay Center and Othe: Officers Cited to Appear Before Supreme Court. Washington, Dec. 14.—The supreme court of the United States has cited Mayor George W.

In a petition filed December 5 ir court the Merrimack River. Savings bank urged that these men partly de stroyed an electric light plant in Clay Center on which the bank held a mort. gage.
