Washington, May 25.--United States Supreme Court Justice Harlan's Stan ard oil opinion expressing in stronger language his dissenting views than those he delivered from the bench, was filed today in the supreme, court He scores other Justices for "interfering with the people, the source of all leg islative power." Ha believe the majority opinion, In stead of benefitting business,, will re sult in much litigation and that its In jurious effect will be felt for years. He agrees with the decision ordering the dissolution of the trust but ar gues lengthily on the word "unrea sonable" in the decision. Harlan also condemns strongly what he terms the "court's judicial usurpa tion of legislative functions." . VALUE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Yetlng Power ef Subscription for the Evening Observer.

Three Big Universities Vte to Name the Sanatorium's Chief. ' ' " Dr. Robert B. Karkeet, a physician and surgeon of renown, has been em ployed to head the surgical depar,jucnent at Hot Lake and as' soon as he can re turn from the eaat.'w.ll assume; his new duties. Dr. Karkeet was selected from among three big universities competing for the privilege of naming the man, and Michigan outstripped the university of Chicago and John ; Hop. kins. , Each of these institutions were trying to land men in the position. The one chosen has been on the ground, found things much to his liking, and is now preparing to move his family to Hot Lake where hV will assume his duties Just as soon as . possible. 1 Dr, Karkeet was graduated from the university of Michigan in 1907, after having been on the staff of Prof. Rill son," department of genealogy ' at" the Ann Arbor, college, during , his senior year. Soon afterwards he. went to Schenango Valley hospital Ifl Pennsyl vania and later was with Dr. J. 0. Murphy hospital at Chicago, .

Union County's Average Higher Than Generally Low Standings. : Grammar was the stumbling block this year to promotions from the eighth 'grade in Union county. Not withstanding the large number of tail urea in the May (examinations the gen eral average of the successful appli cants for promotion , certificates st above what it Is in other counties. The eighth grade promotions are very low this year, averaging about 45 per cent in the state at large while Union coun ty has already reached an average of 50 per cent and will increase that to about 75 per cent, it is believed, at the June examinations. County Superin tendent 8. EL Brad fsdarts t&st Ca grammar and civil government ques tions were harder than formerly but aside from these two there wa little difference over last year. The per cent of failures throughout the state was much larger, however, than previous ly. ; ; most or met rauures .were in one branch alone, grammar and civil tor- ernment prevailing. The promotions i in this county number about 200. - .

V , For the. first time in the many years that the Cramps have been building the big fighting machines for the Unit ed States navy the general public! was barred from, attending the launching. ' No ona, was, permitted' jCo" inter, the , yards without a , 'card 'bf admission. ' The enforcement of the new rule was due, according to the explanation of ' the company officials, to extraordinary conditions arising from the great size of th Wyoming.' So huge is the mam moth hulk that it completely filled the great shed bultt over the cradle and rendered It impossible to build the customary stand about the prow for v tlw, accommodation of the spectators. Provision . was made: only for j the christening party and ,. a. few distin guished guests. . v : ,.' 4 The christening party,; headed by Miss Dorothy , Eunice Knight, daugh ter of a . former chief Justice of, the Wyoming, supreme court and sponsor for the big battleship, took, up their : positions near the nose of the big ship. A few minutes later there was a rend ing ;.sound and snap, . the .' weakened under beams gave way and as i the Wyoming moved down the ways Miss Knight hurled the bottle of sparkling wine at the prow and exclaimed in a clear voice: '1 christen' thee Wyom lng." v.: V ;v... The gigantic battleship slid down the tallow-greased 'ways with ' the lightness of a" frail lifeboat As she .

To the cheers pf the onlookers was added the deafening noise of hundreds of, whis tles from the factories and shops along shore and the many river craft The battleship Wyoming is declared to have no equal afloat as a Arst-clasa fighting machine. She is of 26,000 tons displacement, or 3,320 tons greater than the British battleship Conqueror launched a few weeks ago. ' ' ; ' ' The displacement of the Wyoming Is 6,000 tons greater than that of the Delaware, which has been In commis sion less than a year, and nearly 15, 000 tons greater than that of the Ore gon, which scarcely more than a de cade ago was known as the 'Bulldog of the navy." . :' v ' ff.
