(By Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 2.—The Supreme Court’s opinion today hel!d that the Union Pacific, by acquisition of the stock of the Southern Pacific, effect- ed a combination in violation of the Sherman law. Justice Day indicated tkat the court would enter a decree ty dissolve the combination; also an injunction to prevent the Union Pa- cific from voting the Southern Pa- cific's stock.

Jolly, who says he is not a preacher, but who felt called upon to break the city ordinance by at- tempting to preach Saturday after- noon, after the third arrest of the LaRue;’ traveling preacher, Teter, was be- fere the this Morris G. Munn presiding, in the court morning, Hon. ubgence of Judge Cox, who was com- lamages, pelled to go to Bartow to attend a weeting of the school board. Jolly was represented by K. K. Shellhamer, who made an argument, which was probably very good, ex- cept that it did not bear on the real point involved. The evidence against Jolly bejng conclusive that he had wilfully and knowingly violated the ordinance, the court imposed a fine ot $20 and costs, or thirty days in jail. The court, however, proposed to Jolly that if he would promise to re- frain from breaking the laws of the- city the fine and costs would be sus- pended and he could go forth ‘free and unpunished. Jolly refused to make any such promise, and, his fine not being forthcoming, he was re- turned to jail. The same offer was made Jas. C. Teter, who also 1efused to make any promise to be governed by the laws of this city, and through his own in- subordination and utter contempt for law and authority he remains in jail. Whatever sympathy and support these street preachers may have had in the first place has been forfeited by their evident desire to make trou- ble, and good citizens generally are disgusted with their conduct, and now declare that lawbreakers should he dealt with decisively, and that such nonsensical proceedings as have marked the last few weeks should not be further tolerated.

London, Dec. 2.—The word of charting & mew map of what has been European Turkey was begun imrmediately following the signing of the armistice by the plenipoten- jaries. If the allies are able to agree on a division of the spoils of war, there seems to be little probability of a resumption of hostilities. No ad- justment of the Austro-Servan diffi- culty is visible.

Campbell Viuer, of London, England. The jury was out but a few minutes. Mr. Lock is a prominent real es- rate dealer of this city, representing the Colonial Exchange and Land agency of London.

(By Associated Press.) Washington, met promptly at noon with crowded galleries looking down on the ani- mated scenes below. Speaker Clark of the House and Senator Bacon of the Senate, rapped the respective bodies to order. The Senate adjourned after twen- ty-two minutes, in memory of Vige President and Senators Heyburn and Rayner. The House mct for an hour and ten minutes, Sherman, and also adjourned on account of the death of several members, While the present session is mere- 1y the expiring stage of u Congress scon to go out of existence and to Le superceded in political control and policy after March 4, yet toda.v‘s sesgions in the time since the recent overturning lhuqc hring together for first leaders and elements of the various parties who have been most promi- nent in The old faces and figures are again in evl- dence today, although some of them, like ex-Speaker (annon, will soon pass off the congressional stage, while others, like Speaker Clatk and Chairman Underwood have hadl their tenures renewed and strength- ened. As a whole, however, the dominan! public affairs, note as both branches of Congre:s assemble is that new conditions, new policies and new men have been ushered in as a result of the receni election and that about the only function of the present short ses- sicn, lasting until March 4, is to pass annual supply bills and wind vp what remains of the old regime. In the Senate, Vice President Sherman has been removed by death trom the presiding officer's chair, which will be filled temporarily by Senators Bacon, of Georgia, and Gal- linger, of New Hampshire, alternat- ing. The Republican control of the Senate with about fifty votes as against the present Democratic strength of about forty-two, will continue until March 4, although this control is conditioned largely by the presence of two elements, regular and progressive, in thc Re- publican total of fifty. Senators Heyburn, of Idaho, and Rayner, of Maryland, have died since the last session closed, but in other aspects the personnel continues unchanged until March 4. In the House Speaker Clark and the various chairmen of the two preceding sessions continue to di- rect affairs, with a total Democratic vote of 230, giving a Democratic majority of about thirty-three. The personal aspect was very pronounced as the session began to- day, the air of Democratic victory pervading the capitol from end to end. Scores of men whose names have been prominently identified with affairs of Congress for many years, and who have shaped politics and legislation, faced their last three months of service as the ses- sion opened. In this notable company were the deans of House and Senate; “Uncle Joe” Cannmon, former speaker, and center of many turbulent sessions of the House; and Senator Shelby H. Cullom, for thirty years a Senator from Illinois, a personal friend and contemporary of Lincoln, and who was elected to his first term in the national House of Representatives in 1865. Both Cannon and Cullom came back for the winter's work the vic- tims of political defeat. Senator Jo- seph W.
