These are the ace tions Instituted by former Attorney Gen- eral Smyth against th anaard Ofl com- pany and the Argo Manufacturing com- pany. Among attorneys the bellef is preva- lent that the ruling of Judge McPherson will be followed by the state court evea- tually, but the attorney general is de- termined to fight the cases until they are finally decided or dismissed by the court of last resort In the decision regarding the anti-insur- ance trust law and which is sald by compe- tent authorities to apply to the law which the two cases were begun, the judge declares that if the provisions are valid two men In the same line of business could rot enter into partnership if the organiza- tion tended to malintain prices. ,The ques- tion decided by Judge McPherson has al- ready been raised in the Standard Ol com- pany ltigation and upon it depends the ultimate result of the case. Mr. Prout will appeal the insurance cases to the United Siates supreme court, but it Is Ilkely that the stock yards case will be dropped just where it is now. The decision the latter, that a defect in the title invalidates the whole act, is according to many prior decisions in other cases by the supreme court and the attorney general be- leves that it would be useless to ask for a reversal, University Battalion. “Every old man will have a chance to see what he can do with a squad this year," id Command: nt Eager of the university this morning. “The men who show aptness and profictency will be made corporals.
