WASHINGTON. Mr !. Th Gov
ernment von a wplng rlctory over
th so-called "tobacco. trust" when tha
Suprem Court of th United States
held tho American Tobacco Company
and Ita allied corporations to be oper
ating In violation of tha Sherman anti
trust law.
By directing that th combination be
forbidden tha primage of Interstate
commerce or be placed In the hands ot
a receiver unless It disintegrates In
harmony with th law within six or at
th most sight months, the court la re
warded to have dealt with the tobacco
corporation more drastically than
with the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, th dissolution of which was
ordered two weeks aa-o.
Both the ftrst and second sections of
th Eherman anti-trust law have been
violated by the so-called tobacco trust,
according to the court- Not only has
It restrained wrongfully and unlaw
fully Interstate commerce In th eyes
ef the court, but It has attempted to
monopolise th tobacco business to th
Injury of the public and of Its com
petitors. Ttertrv? rnusuajly Severe.
While the decree was retarded as
unusually saver, at the earoe time
there waa a touch of. leniency In not
making; the combination an outlaw
"now."
The various elementa of the com
bination are to be given an opportunity,
tinder the supervision of the United
States Circuit Court for th Northern
district of New York, of recreation o
that there may be brouxht about "a
new condition which shall be honestly
In harmony with and not repugnant to
the law."
The opinion of th court waa deliv
ered by Chief Justice White, who also
delivered the opinion tn the Standard
Oil ease. The entire court aarreed that
the tobacco combination violated the
thermaa anti-trust law. but Justice
Harlan dlaaented from the repeated in
terpretation of the Sherman anti-trust
lew so as to call tor th application ot
th "rule of reason" In determining
what .restraints of trade wer forbid
den by th act. In this respect the
division waa the same as in the Stand
ard Oil case.
Justice Harlan also took Issue with
the rest of the court as to th reoraran
laatloa of the tobacco company, saying
that he bad found nothing In the record
whlca made him "at all anxious to aid
In the perpetuation of these companies,
which were dearly. In the opinion of
all the court, guilty of wrongdoing."
Rule of Reason Will Stand.
The court reiterated its determina
tion t follow th "rut of reason" In
determining what restraints of trad
violate the Sherman anti-trust law. -
Tonlgrt It Is regarded as settled
that the "rule of reason" will prevail
In the courts of the land In the Inter
pretation of th Sherman anti-trust
Ut, at least until th personnel of th
Suprem Court greatly change or th
lie is amended. In reality the de
cision was nothing leas than a delib
erate exemplification of th application
of th "ru. of reason" to "undisputed
facta"
Unlike th Standard Oil Company,
which mad no mov for a r-hearlng.
WlU'.ara R. Perkins, as counsel for th
Amertcea Tobacco Company, asked th
court after th announcement of the
decision for leave to present a peti
tion to slay the execution of the man
date for days. The request was
granted. Shortly afterwards the court
adjourned till next October.

LOST BABE WINS POLICE
Nellie Grove, Three Tear Old. Gets
Candy and Nickels From Bluecoats.
Wandering from the home of her
aunt at I5S Taylor street late yester
day afternoon Nellie Orove, 1 years old
and small for her age. started out alon
to explore th city.
At Tenth and Washington streets the
child became hopelessly muddled and
attracted th attention of Policeman
Hill, who took her to headquarters,
where her pretty golden curls, sur
mounted by a tiny straw hat tied under
the chin with baby ribbon, the charm
ing frankness and real cleverness ot
her bsby prattle and her generally
sif.ny disposition Immediately won the
he-Vrts of the officers. For more than
an tor Nellie was the center of at
traction. Fred. Chief Cox bound, the mascot
of th force, patiently submitted to her
embraces and became her devoted
slave In a few minutes. No stage
favorite evr mad a bigger hit than
did Nellie.
Policemen went out to return with
candy, and soma surreptitiously gav
her nickels.
There was a general sigh of regret
when Nellie's mother, who lives at 404
Alnsworth street, came to claim the
runaway babe.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 29. (8p
daL) Th 100,000 speed fans gathered
here from almost every city In tha
United States are laying wagers with
each other tonight on the probable
death toll of the &00-mll race tha
greatest event of this kind In the his
tory of the automobile to be held to
morrow morning on the Indianapolis
speedway.
Forty cars have qualified for the
race In which 140.000 In prise money
has proved to the fastest drivers
known to motor racing an alluring
bait.
The lowering of the speedway rec
ord from 35.(3 to 35.35 for on mil by
"Wild Bob" Burman, In his Blltxen
Bens, and the subsequent burning of
his machine were witnessed at the
track today by enthusiasts who arrived
early on the scene.
Accidents Looked. For.
While the throngs her apparently
anticipate soma brilliant and fast driving-
tomorrow, scarcely any on can be
found who does not confidentially ex
pect an accident which may mean
death to some participant In the race.
Officials of the track, themselves, do
not appear over-hopeful, though pre
cautions have been taken thla year to
make tha coursa aa safe as human
Ingenuity can mak It.
That a feeling of uncertainty does
exist was made plain today when ob
servers were stationed at "Death
Curve" which rounds Into the home
stretch, a mile north of the grandstand.
It was there that one machine went
over the stone wall last Friday, and It
waa there that the lives ot three hu
man beings were sacrificed two years
ago.
Climax Is Spectacular.
The burning of Burman's machine

SAN FRANCISCO, May 39 (Special.)
Just as constables, bent on eviction,

ard's little home at 1920 Fiftieth avenue,
Oakland, In the Melrose district, this
afternoon an explosion of dynamite
blew out the front wall and burled the
officers Into the street
Constable Morris Klhn la believed to
have been fatally Injured. reputy
Sheriffs Riley and McDonald were also
badly Injured Two more explosions
followed the first and completed the de
struction of the home.
Plckard's wife had recently been
granted a divorce on the ground of ex
treme cruelty and the property had
been awarded to her by the court. Th
police say that Plckard took this means
of foiling; the court's orders.
Investigation showed that the ex
plosions were brought about by the use
of packages containing shotgun shells,
slugs and dynamite, to which were at
tached wires connecting with revolvers,
and these in turn wired to all the doors
so that when the officers forced their
way In they pulled wires which In
turn discharged the revolvers.
Constable Albert Klhn received the
full force of the first explosion and was
hurled backward with his clothing on
lire and his shoulders shattered by
small shot and slugs. Behind him came
Deputy Sheriff McDonald, whose teeth
were loosened by the force of the ex
plosion and who was knocked sense
less. Fellow officers dragged the two
men to safety as three other explosions
followed In quick succession. The later
explosions were ' evidently brought
about by concussion from the first

Officials Elated.
With the placing of $500,000 worth
of bonds with the National Shawmut
Bank of Boston yesterday, at a figure
considerably below par, construction of
the Broadway bridge Is assured. City
Treasurer Werlein completed negotia
tions for the sale late yesterday after
noon when the money was deposited
In the Ladd & Tilton Bank and the
bonds were forwarded to the Boston
financial house.
The amount received for the face of
the bonds Is $456,745 with accrued In
terest amounting to $8166.66, making
a total of $464,911.66. The bid of
.91S49 made by the Shawmut bank was
considered exceptionally good, taking
Into consideration the obstacles that
had been placed in the way by the
bridge obstructionists.
Mayor Stmon expressed gratification
over the disposition of the bonds at
the figure they brought. ' He declares
that there Is nothing now in the way of
going ahead with the bridge, as It
means that the sale of additional
blocks, as money is needed, will be
negotiated without difficulty.
Bridge to Be Rushed.
The closing of the bond Issue today
means now that no contingency can
arise to block construction of the
Broadway bridge," said the Mayor.
"With much work done already, Man
ager Selzer, of the Union Bridge &
Construction Company, assures me that
work will be crowded. Expert steel
bridge workers will be brought to
Portland from Kansas City immediate
ly and assembling of material will be
started. Everything will be done to
rush the bridge to completion. The
new bridge will give employment to
hundreds of men now living in Port
land. Assurance of early completion of
the bridge will be gratifying to the
thousands of people living on the East
Side.
"Preparations will be made at once
to place another block of bonds on
the market, that we may effect a sale
before the proceeds of today's sale are
exhausted." In that way, we will have
funds available at all times, guaran
teeing that there will be no delay
whatever In construction work until
the bridge Is completed and ready for
use."
Werlein Is Pleased.
"It Is gratifying to me that the city
has the money available to proceed
with the construction of the bridge
before my term in office expires." said
City Treasurer Werlein. "If the
nf Portland re-elect Mayor
Simon, I will be doubly happy.- The
work of building the bridge was De
gun under Mayor Simon. The Broad

clty. The Mayor recognized that fact
at the start and has done ail in nis
power to remove obstructions that
were placed in the way continually
since the Inception of the project."
Bridge Fight Cost $20,000.
It Is declared that since opposition
tn thn brides betran. It has cost the
city $20,000 or more in uelays in se
curing a market for the bonds and in
losing opportunities of receiving bids

to aid In selling the bonds, hoping to
ahle to ulace them to advantage to
the city in the face of the attempts ot
the bridge obstructionists to prejudice
the bond-buyers and to block progress
of the bridge.
Preliminary work on the bridge has
been in the construction of piers and
In completing the terminals on either
