What Opinfons Are. The opinions, twoln number, are largely a discussion whether the steel corpora- tion monopolized the steel trade or dealt unfairly with competitors or purchasers. *The opinion says: ““This case, a proceeding under the Sherman anti-trust law, is one largely of business facts. It says all the trust cases thus far de- termined settle down to this, that only such combinations are within the Sherman act as by reason of iIntent of those form- ing them, or the inherent nature of their contemplated dct, wrong the public by unduly restriting compotition or nduly obstructing the course of trade. Tt further holds the questions of fact for the court to determine whether, when the bill was filed, the steel company was unduly restricting competition or unduly obstructing trade. in the home market. ‘Whether it was restricting competition or unduly obstructing trade in the for- elgn market; and tastly, had the steel corporation thess objects In view when it | was formed in 19017 The opinion holds | the proofs show, when the bill was filed, the competitors of the steel company were doing 60 per cent of the country’s steel and iron business. { Not Size but Power. { The text of majority opinfon says it is | not the size of that which is acquired, but the trade power of that which is not mequired. In the ten years since the steel corporation ‘was formed it has increased its business about 40 per cent. Nine kreat competing steel companies have increased theirs more, the lowest one 63 per cent, the highest 3,700 per cent. With the completion of the Erie canal, Lake Superior ores can be ~brought chieaper to New York harbor than to Pittsburgh. This means, the opinion | says, blast furnaces on New York harbor waters. On the basis of the actual iron units in ore, Cuban ores can be delivered in Philadelphia at one-half the cost of Yake Superior. Facts and figures show that there is no possibility of Lake Superior ore monop- oly. The Cambria Steel company president, the opinion said, showed that the United Ftates Steel could not put it out of bus- ne: James R. Garfleld, former secretary of commerce, accordigg to the opinion, showed the Steel corporation got no freight rebates. Two Rulings in Case, There were two opinions filed in the case. Judge Buffington wrote the opinion, LIGHT UPON MURDER Killed by Some Party “Unknown.” MRS. SYKES ON WITNESS. STAND We, the jury, find that Ada Swanson came to her death as the result of blows from a hatchet in the hands of some unknown party in the basement of the J. 8. Sykes residence, 2023 Spencer street, between the hours of 12:15 and 5:45 o'clock Friday, May 21. We recommend that a reasonable re- ward be offered, and that officers make a vigilant search for the guilty party. This is the verdict of the coroner’s jury following the receipt of evi- dence at the inquest held yesterday inquiring into the mystery surround- ing the murder of Ada Swanson, domestic in the J. S. Sykes resi- dence, 2023 Spencer. The verdict was returned after short delibera- tion. J Dr. R. W, Connell, family physiclan of the, Sykes household, was first tilled to the stand, and offeréd 'no evidence that |had not been known and worked out by the authorities. Dr. 8. M. McCleneghan,, coroner’s physician, described the wounds and the general condition of thg body, {stating that there was absolutely nothing {to warrant the possibility of the girl hav- ing been outraged. Mrs. Sykes on Stand. Mrs. J. 8. Sykes took the stand and related leaving'the house early the morn- ing of May 21, and in answer Lo ques- tions put by County Attcrney George A. Magney, told of the various establish- ments she visited downtown in the order of each visit made. With Miss Florence Osborne of Mis- sourl Valley, who came to Omaha to at- tend a session of the Kiester Sewing school, she spent the forenoon shopping and after luncheon the pair went to the |class. Miss Osborne was with Mrs, Sykes throughout the entire day. Returning home a little after & o'clock, she called to the girl and not recelving an answer went out to the garden to await her husband. At 6 o'clock, no signs of the domestic being apparent, she went into the house and prepared the evening meal. At 6:30 Mr. Sykes came home and at dinner time Ada's absence was discussed. Finds Her Body in Basement. Following the meal, Mrs. Sykes went to the basement and [inding the door to the furnace room closed, she opened it {and aiscovered the body lying halfway | into the coal bin. which was concurved in by the other three {(Continued on Page Two, Column Ont)l | The Wgather i Forecast till 7 p.

Zogg Says General Otis Hired Him to Promote Revolt LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 3N, 8. Zogg, self-styled Mexican revolutionary general on trial for issuing a worthless check, declared on the witness stand in the superior court today that he had been engaged by General Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times, and General B, J. Viljoen, a former Boer leader, to organize a revolt in Lower California. General Otis' son-in-law, Harry Chendler, recently was indicted on & charge of having conspired to violate American neutrality by supporting such & revolutionary scheme, General Harrison Gray Otls declared in an interview he had never heard of Zogg. General Otis s at Tehan Rancho, near Balmr-hel’. and was reached by tele- phone. “I never authorized him or any one else to organize an expedition to lower Call- fornia,” he added. “The man is not telling the truth.” Harry Chandler also said he had never heard of Zo, “The story, 1 think, ls a fabrication for the purpose of excusing his offense of passing valueless checks,”” he said Zoge was convicted Greekm Sights Submarine Off Harbor of Volo PARIE, June 3.—A Havas dispatch from Athens says that the captain of the Greek steamer Anatodia has reported to the port authorities at Volo that he met & German submarine which came within & few yards of the Anatolia.

The purpose of the United States in the new note will be to diseever whether Germany will in the future, on encoun- tering vessels of any nationality that are unarmed, transfer passongers and crew to places of safety should a vessel, car- rying contraband, be certain of con- demnation in a prize court, and therefore subject to destruotion. Lusitania Not Armed. It was reiterated at the State depart- ment today that while affidavits filed there by the German embassy, contend- ing that the Lusitania was armed, had been carefully considered, the proof of the United States that the Lusitania was unarmed was beyond auestion. None of the sikners, in the opinion of officlals, could have made as searching an investigation as Aid customs Inspec- tors, who wore officially ordered to ex- amine decks of vessels and their holds for the one thing—the presence of guns. Had there been explosives aboard of- ficials say clearance would have been refused. Hefore the Lusitania sailed all #uch facts were in possession of the American government.

The Austrians entered Przemysl at 5:30 o'clock this moming after hammering with heavy zuns that lasted more than twenty days. The capitulation of Pruemysl must be ascribed to the ef- fectiveness of this artillery onslaught. The occupation of the fortress by the Austriane will remove the danger of the Russian threat against Cracow. When the Russians starved out the Austrian garrison at Prsemysl, an oper- ation which brought them into the fort- ress on March 22, they did it slowly and systematically, conserving the lves of their .men as much as possible.
