GALL IT A TRUST
Circuit Judges Decide
Against Mills.
COMBINATION IS ILLEGAL
City Retail lumber Co. Formed
in Restraint of Trade,
JUDGE BELLINGER REVERSED
New Trial Is Ordered of Damage Suit
Brought by Arthur Ellis for
Alleged Discrimination
Against Him.
SAX FKAKCISCO. June 6. The Circuit
Court of Appeals handed down a de
cision today in- the suit brought by Ar
thur S. Ellis against Inman, Poulsen &
Co. and others, doing business under the
name of the' .City Retail Lumber Com
pany at Portland, Or. The defendants
had formed a combination to control the
output of lumber from "Washington and
Oregon and to fix the price of the product.
The plaintiff bought from another manu
facturer and then when he sent an or
der to members of the City Retail Lum
ber Company he was requested, to pay
a fine of 1250 In addition to the market
price of the lumber and to give his
promise that in the future he would not
purchase lumber of any firm outside of
the combination.
This the plaintiff refused to do, and he
brought action for damages against the
members of the City Retail Lumber Com
pany. The District Court decided that the
plaintiff had not sufficient ground for ac
tion, but on appeal the hlgherjcourt ruled
today that the combination was an il
legal one, formed In restraint of trade,
and ordered the case remanded for a new
trial.
The court based its opinion on the de
cision of the Supreme Court in the North
ern Securities case.
An echo of last year's strike of the
painters and carpenters was the opinion
handed down In San Francisco yesterday
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, reversing the decision of Judge
Bellinger, of the United States District
Court here, la the case of A. S. ElllsH
against the City Retal Lumber Com
pany. At the .time of the labor union troubles
of April and May, 1903, the sawmills of
"Vancouver, which made only rough lum
ber, were selling those grades much be
low the prices set by the City Retail
Lumber Company, the local sellers for
the Portland mills in the combination.
Ellis bought a quantity of rough lumber
in Vancouver and put It Into the frame
work of several frame buildings he was
erecting.
When Ellis wanted finished lumber he
went to the office of the City Retail Lum
ber Company. But spotters had learned
that he had bought rough lumber out
side the city. Not a foot of finished
lumber could ho buy, either from the City
Retail Lumber Company or from the saw
mills directly. Finally an offer was made
that he could buy lumber if he would pay
$250 extra, the calculated profits of the
local mills if the lumber had been bought
from them Instead of from the "Vancouver
mill.
Under the Sherman anti-trust act Ellis
filed suit for $27,000, three times the dam
age sustained, but allowable under the
Sherman act. The case was fought out
before Judge Bellinger by Cake & Cake
and "W. D, Fenton for the mills, and
Teazle & Freeman for Ellis.
Judge Bellinger held that the City Re
tail Lumber Company was not organized
to suppress interstate trade, but merely
to control the local market. Therefore
he Iound against Ellis. The case was
appealed to tho United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, and tho testimony was
beard by Judges Gilbert, Morrow and
Ross. Yesterday they handed down a
decision reversing Judge Bellinger's de
cision, holding that tho interstate com
merce laws had been violated. The Court
of Appeals set no sum for damages, how
ever, but ordered a new trial in ths
United States District Court
notes between the European powers with
the view to obtaining assurance that the
American action will be confined to liber
ating Messrs Perdlcarts and Varley are
not shared and are not confirmed at the
Spanish EmbassyTiere. Nor has Ambas
sador Choate heard anything of the ex
change of notes mentioned by La Corre
spondencia Espanla.
The Spanish government appears to be
acting In perfect harmony with Great
Britain and the United 'States, and no ap
prehension is expressed in Spanish official
circles that the United States has any
designs except to assure the safety of
Mr. PerdJ carls and American citizens.
The dispatch of the Spanish battleship
Pelayo and otheiSpanish vessels to Tan
gier, it Is pointed out at the Spanish Ertf
bassy, was rendered essential by tie large
number of Spanish subjects resident in
both Morocco and Spanish territory on the
west coast of Africa.
Some fears are expressed that a general
rising in Morocco might ensue in the
event of a hasty action by an outside pow
er, but It is believed that if France is not
hampered she will be able to secure the
release of the captives. -

Admiral Chadwick Advises Against
Such a Course at Tangier.
WASHINGTON. June 6. Rear-Admiral
Chadwick. in a cablegram to the Navy
Department today, said the British
Minister at Morocco had requested the
English Government to send a battleship
to Tangier, and gave the information that
the Saltan of Morocco was expected to ar
rive at Tangier. The Admiral advised the
department further that the general opin
ion in Tangier was that tae naval forces
in the harbor should not yet be reduced.
The feeling prevails at the State Depart
ment that yesterday marked the crisis In
Tangier so far as relates to the possibility
of a Moorish uprising growing cut of the
large foreign fleet In the harbor. It was
the end of a period of devotional worship.
which invariably inflames the fanatical
spirit of the Moors to the highest degree.
and now that tho crisis has passed with
out an outbreak, it Is believed here that
progress will soon be reported In the mat
tor of securing the release of the captives
Perdlcarls and varley.
Tho Navy Department sees no occasion
to diminish tho naval force at Tangier,
notwithstanding the several suggestions
that Euch a course would be beneficial
have appeared in tho European press,
However, this matter has been left in the
bands of Admiral Chadwick.

The Best American-Made
Corsets
AH Reduced Strikingly
We've always sold Royal Wor
cesters because they are the best Cor
sets made in America and better in
every way for the figure of the beautiful
natural American woman than any
French make. Not until we had ob
tained samples from every leading make
of American Corset, and proven satis
factorily that Royal Worcesters but-'
stripped all others did we decide on the
line, knowing them to be designed, cut
and put together by the most expert
Corset makers in America in the best
appointed factory in the world. -
' Royal Worcester Corsets never get
"crooked" as many other American
maltes, improperly cut, do. They never rip out. If a fault
should happen in the material we are always ready to make
it good.
All the models have tho desirable curves in the back
and are straight and flat across the front. Last, and not
least important, the price of the "ROYAL WORCESTERS
starting at 50c and going up to 18,50 brings them within
the range of every .purse.
The past year we have sold more Royal Worcester
Corsets than all other makes added together sold by any
other two Portland stores. This is not braggadocio, but
known fact. Occasionally we hear of people going to other
stores asking for Royal Worcester Corsets. These famous
corsets cannot be bought in Portland outside this store.
The models are made exclusively for Royal Worcester
patrons and are never used in any other make.
