The troubl with th fforts th Oov
irnmtDt la making to cope with the
trust problem arise from the fact that
th underlying assumption of tha Shar
man anti-trust law, trader which Its
actions are Drought, la that tha policy
of unrestricted competition still sub
serves tha beat Interests of the public.
Tha steps tha Government has taken
have not had tha affect of Increasing;
competition, but In most caaea of estab
llshlng precedents which will Interfere
with proper methods of business now
almost universally followed. It Is
assumed by many that tha present
poller of tli department of Justice of
attack under the Bharraan anti-trust
law upon present methods of doing
business Is a ireneral ona
Whatever mar be the Inference to be
drawn from the remarks of tha Attor-ney-Oeneral
as to hie future procedure,
the fact remains that ha has barely
passed the ede of the field of hi
possible activity. Tha alarming fea
ture of tha situation Is that with noth
ing practically demonstrated In tha
way of relief to the pubMe throush tha
past actions In a comparatively small
number of possible cases, the Indirect
destruction of values and tha depress
ing effect upon business which has
resulted point to a treat future Injury
to business when tha department of
Justice fairly enters Ita crusade.

And If there be potency for vll In

Washington, the noted negro educator,
failed to obtain satisfacton at law to

vestibule of an apartment-house where.
Ulrich lived, at 11 H East Sixty-third

tha hospital for several days with his
right ear torn, his scalp cut and his

Ulrich testified he found Washington
peeking into ths keyhole of his apart

that Washington struck tha first blow.
Mrs. Laura Alvarez, with whom Ulrloli

Dr. Washington he said to her, "Hollo,

Negro in Search of Friend.
Washington's story on the stand to
day was the same explanation he of
fered at- the time of altercation. He
swore that he was not peeking into
any keyholes, that he was only search
ing the tenants' directory in an effort
to find a family with whom he under
stood a friend waa staying and denied
positively that he had spoken to Mrs.
Alvarez or any other woman.
The acquittal of Ulrich was not
unanimous, Justice O'Keefa dissenting

Seller. " '
After Ulrich left the court he was
arrested again charged with being a
fugitive from New Jersey, where an
indictment has been found charging
him with deserting his wife.
Educator Makes No Comment.
Dr. Washington, when asked if he
had any comment to make on the out
come of the case, replied: "No, not a
word."
Both Ulrich and Washington told
their stories on the stand today.
"The defendant ran into the hallway
and assaulted me," said Dr. Washing
ton. "He grabbed me by the throat and
choked me and hit me with his fists.
I tried to defend myself, but he was
getting the better of me, and I opened
the door and stepped into the street.
There were, two men on the street and
Ulrich asked one of them for a stick
he carried. He hit me a dozen times.
I should say, with the stick. When I
reached Central Park West, I was so
weak that I fell. Two men were beat
