Judge Thoms« also Imposed a fine

witnesses and jurors who were slow
in reaching the court house this
morning. The casewasthat of Cooper

land line dispute which was tried at
the last term. Several of the wit

There was an amendment offered

Brantley not Surprised.
Representative Brantley, of Geor
gia, said the decision was no sur
prise to him, as the court had re
peatedly excepted acts in restraint of
trade os not covered by the law.
He quoted Senator Hoar, real author
of the anti-trust law, as saying un
reasonable restraints were the only
kind intended to be declared illegal.
Continuing, Mr. Brantley said:
"Thus only illegitimate business
la placed under the ban and a stand
ing menace to legitimate business is
removed. The effect of the decision
ought to be good. The power
through civfl proceedings to suppress
monopolies and trusts in unreason
able restraint of trade is left un
impaired. its strength as a penal
law has been weakened, if that was
possible.
"The way is now clear for legisla
tion clearly defining what .acts is
conned ted w,ith trade (agreements
shall be considered criminal. Penal
laws should be certain. The Sher
man law was very far from being
c-irtain as a penal law before the
decision, and is less certain now."
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, con
siders the decision perfectly sound
and not in conflict wtith previous
decisions of the court
What Bacon Hays.
Senator Bacon of Georgia said
"The only distinction that could
be drawn by the court that could
be filed would bo & distinction which
would follow and preserve the spirit
of the anti-trust law and only af
fect the letter insofuj as the letter
was inconsistent with the destruction
of the true spirit and intent of the
law."
Representative Bartlett, of Geor
gia, ©aid:
"I hesitate to criticise an opinion
of Chief Justice White, whom I hold
In the highest esteem. If the only
way for the court to uphold the con
stitutionality of the anti-trust law,
was to construe it to mean reason- •'
able restraint, then the decision was ;
correct" ,
Representative ’^Roddenbery, dem
ocrat, of Georgia ©aid:
No anti-trust law can be really
effective until the chief offenders
are put In Jail. Orders for dissolu
tions are fruitiest*, apjl, gpc© amount
merely to high liceniRh'aoUected at
