Supreme court decision in the Standard
Oil case. While there was gratifica

questionably was misgiving as to the
interpretation of the anti-trust law
giving to courts the right to determine
whether a monopoly was "reasonable"
and declaring a "reasonable" mono
poly not to be in contravention of the
statute.
President Taft. who. a little more
than a year ago, in a special message
to congress, said that under Supreme
court precedents there could be no
such things as "reasonable" and "un
reasonable" restraints of trade, or in
other words, "good trusts" and "bad
trusts." was said to have been rather
disappointed that the court should
have seen fit to reverse itself in this
important matter.

have been waged in Mexico.
Though covering only the principal
points negotiated thus far, it practi
cally records the concession by the
government of those demands which

Teleerams announcing the signing
of th agreement were dispatched
throughout Mexico to revolutionary
and Federal leaders alike.
Constitutional restrictions pre
vented the inclusion in the peace
agreement of the fact that the rebels
would be permitted to suggest to var
ious state legislatures the names of
principal governors and likewise the
fact that six'of the eight members of
the new cabinet have been chosen by
the revolutionists, but the agreement
records that President Diaz and Vice
President Corral will resign and that
the government is to concentrate its
attention on desired reforms.

AEROPLANES FILL AIR.
Exhibition Stage Past; Passenger Ma
chines Common.
Paris The one thing to be deduced
from the principal event for the ap
proaching aeroplane season is that the
day of the "circus" meeting has gone
not to return. Public an4 aviator
alike are tired of circling around the
derricks of at) aerodrome.
The timid flutters of two years ago
have been succeeded by long rambles
from town to town. The practical ap
plication of the aeroplane is in sight,
for machines have been constructed
capable of carrying 10 or 12 passen
gers. A dozen schools In France are turn
ing out pilots every day in addition to
the list of more than 200 on the regis
ters of the Aeronautical federation.
To provide field for the ambition of
these young birds, three great races
hsve been arranged.
The first in date and possibly also in
difficulty, is that organized by the
Petit Parisien from Paris to Madrid.
Aviators have to pass, according to
the rules issued by the organizers, for
a distance of 60 to 0 kilometers over
mountains nearly 4.000 feet high.
This race is endowed by the Petit
Parisien with a prize of 12.000 to the
winner In addition, the Spanish Aero
club gives prizes of f 10.000.
The second big event is the Paris to
Rome and Turin flight, scheduled for
May 28. The prizes will total S100,
000. June will see the European circuit
races from Paris to London and re
turn. The flight will be begun on
J une 4 and occupy probably two weeks.
The prize aggregate ISOl.OOO. and
already have attracted many entries.
WOMEN FAVOR PRISONER.
Alleged Dynamiters Receive Dainties
in Jail.
Los Angeles Women, not alone in
the working class, but many of the
wealthy and aristocratic order, have
been showering flowers, books, candy
and other dainties upon J. J. McNam
arm. who on Sunday was again the re
cipient of a number of floral offerings,
some of them being sent anonymously
from sentimental persona.
Each day of late the prisoner bas
received books and flowers from var
ious sources, and numerous letters
frorn Eastern friends and acquain
tance and labor leaders, all assuring
him of the writers' belief in his in
nocence, and their willingness to do
all they can to help him prove it.
J. B. McNamara, while not included
in these, professions of friendship to
as great an extent as his brother, has
received quite a few letters pledging
him support in his defense.
Ortie McManigal's correspondence
seems to be limited to an occasional
letter from his wife. His only vis
itors are members of the Burns detec
tive agency, who each day bring him
cigars, fruit snd other luxuries.
Both the McNamaras. continue in
a cheerful frame of mind, but Mc
Manigal. it is said, is beginning to
fret at his confinement.

Dr. Lim was one of the wealthiest
