Their attitude was learned when thoy ballolcd on tho Hithjoot at oluss day exercises, Out of Ilm 81 students only five voted in favor of thu proposition. Walter Moore, formerly of Med ford, now of Lu Mesa, Sun Diego county, writes as follows under date of May J3, regarding a visit to 'I in Jtiaua ami what he saw there: TIA Jl'ANA. Tho .Mexican vil lage just across the border, is now in the limelight. Ciiptuiu Khys l'ryuo and Ins baud of 300 rebels or insur rcctos have driven out thu forces of Porfiro Dims- taken possession and established a new utnpui and unfurled to the hrcor.o the red flag, bearing thu inscription of "Tierros y Libertad," or laud of liberty. To eelchratu the event the general slipped out to San Diego for a sniff of civilization when Uncle Sam nabbed him put him in limbo then released him. Heaving that thu general was ex pecting a tussle with somu of Diaz's folks, also thu fact that thu vnbel general was very amieablo to news paper peoplej 1 took it upon myself to see a veal live iusurrcoto camp in action, so went ovev to seo Tin Juaua. Aftuv lauding at Tia Juaua in com pany with u iniM'd cvew of Swedes, dressed in kaklu. and General I'lyceVlour hearings. sentinel with his blue overalls tucked into his boots, a slouch hat, a thiec weeks crop of whiskers, two belts of Cartridges and an old Springfield n fie, paced opposite him. Alio .Mexican eastern house was out of commission, -o wo surged past the rebel sentry and made for Tia Juaua. Thu first sight of blood was scon where three or four whs were butchering a fat cow in tho brush. All of them were loaded with cartridges, lholr ritles standing ready for ac tion. Tho first sight of the town gave us tho Red Cross or Ifcliul hospital, a largo white flag with a red cross in the center, floated on the finest vesideneo in Tia .latum. Seven red flags wow flying over different plaees. The generals had taken tho A sentry guarding the broad works, gave us the cue and we summoned up courage enough and got him to inter cede with tho general's bodyguard, for an interview with the general. We told him wo were a newspaper man greatly interested in tho cause of lib erty, which opened tho door and put us in tho presence of a uiuu over six foot high, large ears, florid com plexion, clad in new kaklu with a ved silk haudkevohief,aud a new Muxiciui sonibwro. This individual was General Khys l'vyee, who shook hands cordially and welcomed us. He produced somo good cigars and sniled in tho history of the war with Mexico. Ho mado no bones of being a soldier of fovtuno, had sewed in tho Hour war and did not propose that Mailero should havo postoffico for headimavtevs a big' all tho pie. His foreo of 300 men is ved Hag over the door bearing the1 composed of 2f0 Americans, 30 Mexi inscription, "Tiurros y Libertad." A notice was posted which vend, "If you have not business of import ance, keep out." A very dirty look ing rebel, armed to the teeth guavdod negroes. Mexicans and soldiers of I the snored portal and demanded youv fortune, tho first sight to attract! business before admitting vou. This attention was Ilm sight of tlio Stars coupled with the fact that somo 200 and Stvipes flying from the custom 'men, a most villainous looking sot, house, and red flag flying from a standuvd a fow yavds away. Undo heavily armed, wero ohnrging up and down tho street, mado ono a triflo cans and 20 negroes. Plenty of am munition for rifles, lots of hovsos, a good supply of cattle with a fino for aging force and a large country to draw from, ho saw no reason fov go ing hungry or being defeated as ho was awaiting artillery from Los An geles when Ensenada would ho his next base. Tho fact that Mayol with a hand of federals was coming, was tho least Sam's Buntry paced tho border line nurvons, .ami wo cast about to gel of his troubles, IIo had scouts who kept him posted, and weru at this time diguing trenches, dynamiting old buildings erecting barricades and fixing to give the federals a pleasant reception. The general detailed a couple of sontrys to show us tho town, also invited us to lunch with Company D, which we ot course, nccepted. After a pleasant good day and good luck wo started on our lour of inspec tion. The Catholic- church was vis ited, the doors had been thrown down, the trappings scattered all over most everything loose had been carried off. Our guide informed us that if wo saw anything wo wanted, to tako it. Wo saw nothing K-o wanted, a few ballot holes thvoujih the windows, pictures torn from the walls, blood stains on the floor, where somo wounded fed- orals had laid, wero all. Tho old custom house was literally Shot to pieces as the federals made a stand there and tho rebs raked them foro and aft and finally blew up a part of tho building. Every hotiso was deserted, thoir owners crossing tho lino. Many of tlio floors had boon tovn up by van dals looting for treasure. Bureaus, mirrors, clothing, cooking utensils wero in a mess all through tho town. Scarcely a pane of glass loft. Hul- (Coutlaued on rage 4.) WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30. Much of tho consolation which tho big business' Interests purported to find In tho decisions of tho supremo court In the Standard Oil and' Ameri can Tobacco Company cases wds dis pelled, when attorneys who studied tho decision of Chief Justlco Whlto yesterday In tho tobacco caso declared their belief that it opened tho way for criminal prosecutions of tho to bacco magnates. The decision, It is pointed, not on ly lay8 a basis for prosecutions, but In tho strongest language urges such action. This construction is placed on phrases recurring through tho opinion of Chief Justice White. Had the court merely affirmed the decrco of the trial court and ordered tho dissolution ot tho trust, criminal suits would have been barred. But by reversing tho judgment tho court held tho directors and officers par ties to a ennpiracy and significantly referred to "manifestations of con scious wrongdoing." Hritlsh Trust to Dissolve. Lawyers construe, tblk- as - an . Intl-, tnatfon of tho government's duty to proceed criminally. Under the decision of the 'supremo court In the tobacco caso, it is be lieved that the British trust will bo forced to discontinue its expert busi ness to America. That the ruling of tho higher court will mean moro litigation and that it probably will bo a year beforo tho trust Is finally dissolved is tho gen eral belief hero. Tho matter has been left to tho United States circuit court for tho Southern District of New York to handle, and It Is this court that must deviso tho plans for the dissolution. It is generally be lieved that tho defendants by fre quent appeals to the supremo court will seek delay. Harlan Dissents Strongly. Strongly resontlng tho writing In to the Sherman anti-trust law of tho "rulo of reason" and Its application to tho decision In tho American To bacco trust case by tho United States supreme court, Associate Justlco Harlan dissented as vigorously as he had done In tho Standard Oil do- clslon. Intimating that tho decision of tho supromo nullified tho purposo and Intent of tho Sherman anti-trust act through this "rulo of reason"; that it excoriated tho admitted Illegal combination hut without applying a remedy or punlshmont tor the viola tion of then law, Justlco Harlan said: "I havo not found anything In tho record which makes mo at all anxious to perpetuate any now combination between thoso companies which tho court concedes has at all times ex hibited a conscious wrongdoing." ' Justice Harlan resents, tho state ment of the court that tho decisions In tho Standard Oil and American To bacco cases "wero lu accordance with previous decisions." "It Is scarcely just," ho declares In his dissenting opinion, "for tho court at this Iato date to say or In-' tlmato that Justlco Pack hum nud h!a colleagues Interpreted tho act ot congress with regard to tho 'rulo of reason', or to assumo that tho uut was for tho first tlmo lu tho Standard Oil case interpreted lu tho Might-ot reason.' " "Tho 'rule of reason, " goes on tbo vigorous old Justlco, " I am certain, docs not Justify perversion of tho plain words ot an act of congress In order to defeat tho will of congress." Tho dissenting opinion further de clares that tho supromo court has, lu effect, still furthor nullified tho Sherman law hy adding to tho "rulo of reason," wrlttoa Into It In tho. Standard Oil caso tho word "undue" or "unduo reatralut" In tho caso ot tho Amorlcan Tobacco trust. I Ffil
