PACFIC NERGER " ENDED BY COURT Highest Tribunal Holds Cen- tral and Southern Combine is “Restraint of Trade.” Holding that the two lines were competitive, the United States Su- preme Court yesterday ordered the dissolution of the merger between the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific rallways. The decision of the court was announced by Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice McKenna dissenting and Mr. Justice McReynolds and Mr. Justice Brandeis not participating on account of connection with the case prior to their going upon the bench.

A like course should be pursued in dealing with the lines extending from San Francisco bay to Sacramento and to Portland, Ore.” The court declared that ‘“‘under principles settled in the Union Pa- cific case, the acquisition by the Southern 'Pacific Company of the stock of tke Central Pacific Railway Company in 1889, unless justified by the special circumstances, * * @ constituted a combination in restraint of trade, because It fetters the free Mme.

Systems Normally Competitive. “These two systems are normally competitive for the carrying trade in some parts” the opinion asserted, ! pointing out in detail the territory served. “Such combinations are not the result of normal and natural srowth and development, but spring- ing from the formation of holding companies or stock purchases result- ing in the unified control of different roads or systems naturally competi- tive, constitute ‘a menace and a re- straint upon that freedom of com- merce which Congress intended to recognize and protect and which th, public is entitled to have protected.’ Justice Day sald it had been estab- lished by the decisions of the court that “one system of railroad trans- portation cannot acquire another nor a substantial and vital part thereof when the effect of such acquisition is to suppress or materially reduce the free and normal flow of competition in the channels of interstate trade.” Proof of Policy “Ample.” Justice Day also, declared the proof was ample that “the policy of the Southern Pacific system has been to favor transportation on fts line by securing_for itself whenever prac- ticable the carriage of freight which would normally move eastward or westward over the shorter line of the Central Pacific rafiroad and its con- nections for its own much longer and wholly owned southern route.” With a Big Stock of Standard Make ELECTRIC MINISTER GOES TO TRIAL Your Life or Your Liver. Unquestionably the liver is a vul- nerable organ and subject to its fair share of morbid conditions, but, like the kidneys, it is not gullty of most of the imputations put upon it. One of the many disappointments a man meets in the study of medicine is the revelation of fact that comes to him in the fleld of physiology and pa- thology Instead of the fascinating fic- tion which commnoly associates it- self with the lver. Thus, those pigmented areas of skin commonly‘® known as “liver spots” have nothing whatever to do with the liver, although many a victim of liver fiction imagines such spots in- dicate a need for some alleged liver regulator. tion of the liver and which not rarely aggravates the very condition re- sponsible for the sallowness—namely, anemia. Many of the drugs popu- larly resorted to as laxatives or puscles. Anemia (diminution of t number of corlpu!c)el in the blood) is the usual explanation for the saliow complexion, although a mere inagg tivity of circulation, without any blood deficiency whatever, may ac- count for sallowness. The thousand- and-one variations of ‘'salts popularly misused for imagined “liver trouble” are particularly deleterious in thelr effect on the blood corpuscles. So- called “purely vegetable” physics are quite as objectionable as any others, on this and other grounds. In all truth, no one really knows a medicine which can be reasonably supposed to regulate the liver or im- prave its function—and in saying this I am not implying that medicine, intelligently used, is not of the great- est value in the treatment of real disease of the liver. The outstanding reason for the sallowness so commonly and so wrongly attributed to “liver trouble,” and perhaps for much of the disturb- ance of pigmentation known a: “liver spots,” {s the sedentary, dig- nified, exercise-dodging life, coupled with the general vitiation necessarily produced by a diet from which rough- age, mineral elements, vitamins and bulk have been all too carefully “re- fined” out. There Is no liver regulator which comes so nearly .meriting_the name as a reasonable amount of daily ex- ercise, especially exercise which ne- cessitates unbending and setting | aside, for a brief spell, our killing | dignity. There is no known melhodl of improving the liver function that compares with a diet which includes | a reasonable selection or varlety of natural foods, such as unmilled wheat, wild or unpolished rice, the too fre- quently discarded skins and seeds of edible fruits and vegetables, the rel. ishes, greens or leafy vegetables.

K.'D, IF SAFE AND HELPFUL order to pay in goods Germany would have to export $750,000,000 wortn more than she imported. No country in the world has ever had such a fa- vorable trade balance, cept the United States during th AT Years, when trade was artificlally stimu- lated anad under conditions which could not have long continued with- out ruin both to ourselves and our customers. During the ten-year period before the war the balance in trade In favor of the United Stat was about $500,000,000 a y whicn Was offet by the “invisible” exports of our customers, including return on their investments in this country, ocean carrying, remittances by jmmi- grants, expenditures of travelers, stc. If the United States had such a trade balance today there would be no way in which our customers could pay, for the sources of these “invisibl exports have been largely extin- guished. But trade balances do not now, and did not before the war, when Ger- many was at the height of her pros- perity, run in favor of that country. In 1913, the last year before the war, Germany exported $2,624,000,000 worth of goods and imported $2,693,- 000,0 a trade balance against her of $169,000,000. She offset this bal- ance by her “invisible” exports, whith the war largely wiped out. Today she 1s offsetting her unfav- orable trade balance by the issuance of more paper money. Also she has lost a good share of the raw mate- rials which, went into her pre-war exports, making it necessary for her to swell her imports in order to manufacture exports to the pre-war volume. How, undes thess condi- tions, a $169,000,000 trade deficit could be changed into 760,000,000 trade surplus is impossible to understand. ‘Were the charges against the C bonds to be added to this load, the carrying of it would become simply an eco- nomic impossibility.

FOR MURDER ON JUNE 12 Charles Town Court, Hearing Mine Strike Charges, Postpones Case of Rev, J. E. Wilburn. By the Associated Press. CHARLES TOWN, W. Va., May 30. —Circuit court adjourned yesterday with the understanding that the Rev. J. E. Wilburn of Jeffrey would be tried June 12 on a charge of murder- ling Deputy Sheriff John Gore. Wil- .burn is accused of leading a party of miners and others August 31, during | the fighting that terminated the arm- i €d march against Logan. An application for bail ‘for Wil- burn and seven others, who are the only men still in jail of the several hundred defendants in the armed march cases, was dropped by defense counsel after Judge J. M. Woods de- clared his intention of letting prose- cution attorneys hear any evidence offered to support the application. In announcing their plans for trial of the other cases, counsel for the state said they expected as soon as the cases of men accused of killing Gore were finished to take up trial of C. Frank Keeney, president of Dis- trict 17, United Mine Workers, or Fred Mooney, district secretary, on the treason charge, of which Willlam Blizzard was acquitted Saturday.
