SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN
CHICAGO, UK, May 30.-Kighty-four
students of Northwestern uni
versity, nil of whom will be gradu

granting eiputl suffrago to women.
Their attitude was learned when thoy
ballolcd on tho Hithjoot at oluss day
exercises, Out of Ilm 81 students
only five voted in favor of thu proposition.
Walter Moore, formerly of Med
ford, now of Lu Mesa, Sun Diego
county, writes as follows under date
of May J3, regarding a visit to 'I in
Jtiaua ami what he saw there:
TIA Jl'ANA. Tho .Mexican vil

Cartridges and an old Springfield n

Alio .Mexican eastern house was
out of commission, -o wo surged past
the rebel sentry and made for Tia
Juaua. Thu first sight of blood was
scon where three or four whs were
butchering a fat cow in tho brush. All
of them were loaded with cartridges,
lholr ritles standing ready for ac

us tho Red Cross or Ifcliul hospital,
a largo white flag with a red cross
in the center, floated on the finest
vesideneo in Tia .latum. Seven red
flags wow flying over different
plaees. The generals had taken tho
A sentry guarding the broad works,
gave us the cue and we summoned up
courage enough and got him to inter
cede with tho general's bodyguard,
for an interview with the general. We
told him wo were a newspaper man
greatly interested in tho cause of lib
erty, which opened tho door and put
us in tho presence of a uiuu over
six foot high, large ears, florid com
plexion, clad in new kaklu with a ved
silk haudkevohief,aud a new Muxiciui
sonibwro.
This individual was General Khys
l'vyee, who shook hands cordially
and welcomed us. He produced somo
good cigars and sniled in tho history
of the war with Mexico. Ho mado no
bones of being a soldier of fovtuno,
had sewed in tho Hour war and did
not propose that Mailero should havo

attention was Ilm sight of tlio Stars coupled with the fact that somo 200

The general detailed a couple of
sontrys to show us tho town, also
invited us to lunch with Company D,
which we ot course, nccepted.
After a pleasant good day and good

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30.
Much of tho consolation which tho
big business' Interests purported to
find In tho decisions of tho supremo
court In the Standard Oil and' Ameri
can Tobacco Company cases wds dis
pelled, when attorneys who studied
tho decision of Chief Justlco Whlto
yesterday In tho tobacco caso declared
their belief that it opened tho way
for criminal prosecutions of tho to
bacco magnates.
The decision, It is pointed, not on
ly lay8 a basis for prosecutions, but
In tho strongest language urges such
action. This construction is placed
on phrases recurring through tho
opinion of Chief Justice White. Had
the court merely affirmed the decrco
of the trial court and ordered tho
dissolution ot tho trust, criminal
suits would have been barred. But
by reversing tho judgment tho court
held tho directors and officers par
ties to a ennpiracy and significantly
referred to "manifestations of con
scious wrongdoing."
Hritlsh Trust to Dissolve.
Lawyers construe, tblk- as - an . Intl-,
tnatfon of tho government's duty to
proceed criminally.
Under the decision of the 'supremo
court In the tobacco caso, it is be
lieved that the British trust will bo
forced to discontinue its expert busi
ness to America.
That the ruling of tho higher court
will mean moro litigation and that it
probably will bo a year beforo tho
trust Is finally dissolved is tho gen
eral belief hero. Tho matter has
been left to tho United States circuit
court for tho Southern District of
New York to handle, and It Is this
court that must deviso tho plans for
the dissolution. It is generally be
lieved that tho defendants by fre
quent appeals to the supremo court
will seek delay.
Harlan Dissents Strongly.
Strongly resontlng tho writing In
to the Sherman anti-trust law of tho
"rulo of reason" and Its application
to tho decision In tho American To
bacco trust case by tho United States
supreme court, Associate Justlco
Harlan dissented as vigorously as
he had done In tho Standard Oil do-
clslon.
Intimating that tho decision of
tho supromo nullified tho purposo
and Intent of tho Sherman anti-trust
act through this "rulo of reason";
that it excoriated tho admitted Illegal
combination hut without applying a
remedy or punlshmont tor the viola
tion of then law, Justlco Harlan said:
"I havo not found anything In tho
record which makes mo at all anxious
to perpetuate any now combination
between thoso companies which tho
court concedes has at all times ex
hibited a conscious wrongdoing." '
Justice Harlan resents, tho state
ment of the court that tho decisions
In tho Standard Oil and American To
bacco cases "wero lu accordance with
previous decisions."
"It Is scarcely just," ho declares
In his dissenting opinion, "for tho
court at this Iato date to say or In-'
tlmato that Justlco Pack hum nud h!a
colleagues Interpreted tho act ot
congress with regard to tho 'rulo of
reason', or to assumo that tho uut
was for tho first tlmo lu tho Standard
Oil case interpreted lu tho Might-ot
reason.' "
"Tho 'rule of reason, " goes on tbo
vigorous old Justlco, " I am certain,
docs not Justify perversion of tho
plain words ot an act of congress In
order to defeat tho will of congress."
Tho dissenting opinion further de
clares that tho supromo court has,
lu effect, still furthor nullified tho
Sherman law hy adding to tho "rulo
of reason," wrlttoa Into It In tho.
Standard Oil caso tho word "undue"
or "unduo reatralut" In tho caso ot
tho Amorlcan Tobacco trust.
