Justice Day anounced the decision of the majority members. The four minority justices contented themselves with a mere statement that they dissented. Justice Day stated that the manufacturers relied chiefly upon the "mimeograph case." An examination of the opinion of the court in that case, he said, showed that the restriction was sustained because the machine was sold at cost or less, and that the owner depended upon the profit realized from the sale of -unpatented supplies to be used, upon the machine for his invention. No such conditions existed he added, in the present case.

In further. attempt to distinguish the two cases, the justices said that the restriction in "mimeograph case" was in regard to the use of the machine, and only the patented article passed. In the present case, he MAMMOTH POWER PLANT TO GO AT WILLIAMSBURG (Continued from page 1.) bined plants in this city, Warrior Ridge and Lewistown. IN OPERATION NOV. 1.

The first gencrator will be in operation before Nov. 1 and will develop 6,000 horse power, while the other erators will be installed as rapidly 88 possible. During the past several years, the Penn Central company has extended its lines far into Cambria county, supplying current to within a few miles of Johnstown, while all of northern Cambria county is covered by the system. will be sought, and fact the With the added -facilities, new business company has a campaign planned that will create new business. Under the able direction of Mr.

E. B. Greene, the local business of the company has increased 250 per cent during the past several years. The firm of Day Zimmerman, of Philadelphia, general managers of the Penn Central Light and Power have been hard 'at work developing the company, firm, and when it became evident that more power wouldl have to be secured, the plans for a new plant were taken up. ENGINEERS COMPLETE PLANS.

The best engineers in the 'country were engaged and plans for new plant are completed. The first generator. will be built by the Westinghouse company and is now in course of construction. The mammoth boilers have been ordered from the Edgemoor Iron company, at Edgmoor, and other details have been arranged. An effort was made to have the power plant located close to Altoona, but it was impossible to secure a sufficient water supply and Williamsburg was taken as the best available site.

43,700 HORSE POWER. 'The big plant at Williamsburg will known as the Central plant and will be equal to the finest plant in the country. The present resources of the Penn Central company develop 13,700 horse power, but when the new plant is completed, the company will have available for use and distribution, the enormous amount of 43,700 horse power, or enough to furnish light and power to a dozen cities the size of Altoona. The work on the construction of the plant will be started within the next ten days. The plant has been laid out in such a way that at any time in the future, an addition can be built to it, and its capacity increased to 60,000 horse power.

While it is not anticipated that this will be necessary for years to come, the company expects to be in business in Altoona and this section a hundred years from now, and all possible contingencies have been looked af- ter. NEW OFFICE BUILDING. will be able to pay their bills. WORK BEGINS AT ONCE. In addition to the new power plant, big office building will be constructed at Union avenue and Eighteenth street, in front of the old Edison power plant.

This building will be constructed throughout of brick. steel and concrete and will be 42x93 feet, three stories high. The building will be used for the executive offices of the company, which are now located in the Mateer block. The room in the Mateer block will not be abandoned, however, but will be used for a display room. and all manner of electrically operated devices will be shown there.

In addition, the cashier will have a branch in the Mateer block, where patrons of the company This new structure will be erected immediately, and ground will be broken within the next fortnight. A feature of the building will be a big vault, which will be two stories deep, and which will contain all the records of the company. The building will be entirely isolated. and will be absolutely fireproof, 80 that the danger of destruction of the company's books and papers will be reduced to nil. It is anticipated that the building will be completed by the first of 0c- tober, and it will be occupied by Super.

intendent Greene and his office force as soon as finished. WIRELESS OUTFIT. On the roof of the building will be a complete wireiess outfit. A similar station will be erected on the roof of the power plant at Williamsburg, and expert operators will be stationed at either end. All the business of the company between the power house and the offices this city will be transacted via wireless.

With unlimited resources back of it. the Penn Central company will build up a power system, with Altoona for its central station, that will rival the most complete power plants in the world. During the summer, Altoona will be the base of operations for the leading power experts of the country, and the engineers that will be employed on construction of the new plant will come to this city every evening, by auto, remaining here over night. The growth of the business here is largely due to the strenuous labors of Superintendent Green and his assis. tant.

J. E. Shute. The general managers of the company, Day Zimmerman, have had a general supervision of the work. and the combination of the two forces has been irresistable.

If any one attempts to talk to you about this case, I want you to report to the court, if possible giving their names. I to caution you against coming to any final conclusion in your minds as to the merits of the case, until you are instructed to deliberate on a verdict. Don't talk among yourselves it." Court then adjourned until tomorrow.

In order to hasten the libel suit of Theodore Roosevelt against Editor George A. Newett, which went to trial here this afternoon, a night session was held with the purpose of completing the jury. At the afternoon, session, ten veniremen were passed for cause and as there are but four peremptory challenges al lowed each side, two of them are certain to be sworn in as jurors. The arrival of Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by Gifford Pinchot, Truman H. Newberry, James R.

Garfield, Jacob A. Riis, and others, caused scarcely a ripple on the placid surface of this little city. The party arrived early and only few persons were at the train. The distinguished plaintiff entered the court room with rapid strides and there was a craning of necks for a moment to see him, but there was no demonstration and presently the spectators had eyes onl for the veniremen ined. DEFENDANT ILL.

George A. Newett, the defendant whose paper, the Iron Ore, of Ishpening, alleged that Colonel Roosevelt "got drunk, and that not infrequently" sat at a table with his lawyers. William P. Belden, of Ishpening, and Horace Andrews, of Cleveland. He appeared exhausted from his recent serious illness and sat much of the time with his eyes closed.

The former president was one of a number occupying seats within the ing, and by his side during of the afternoon sat Mr. Garfield, Myron Sherwood, a local lawyer and mine owner, a casual visitor at the trial, by chance occupied the seat on Colonel Roosevelt's left, but they found time to whisper a few words to each other. which seemed to be of a jocular and pleasing nature, the former president smiling and Sherwood choking off a laugh with diffi- culty. FEW SPECTATORS. The spectators oniy comfortably filled the room, as entrance was barred after all seats had been taken.

During the day Judge Richard C. Flannagan, who presided, received a telegram from Minneapolis as follows: "Don't let this sensational trial continue until I have arrived." It was signed "Jacob Miles." Judge Flannagan turned the message over to Frank Tyree, who was one of Colonel Roosevelt's guards while president, and who is here as a witness. Tyree notified the chief of police of Minneapolis, who wired back that Miles was insane, and had been arrested. Tames H.

LAWYERS QUIZ JURORS. The Detroit lawyers made it a point to ask possible jurors as to their acquaintance with principals in the defendant legal camp and about their acquaintance with H. O. Young. Mr.

Young was elected to congress from the Marquette district as a Republican, but the Progressive candidate, McDonald, set up a claim in the house that he had a moral right to election, as a large number of persons who wished to vote for him had innocently used erroneously printed ballots. Before a de. cicion, was resigned. referred Counsel at for the Washington, plaintiff was interested in reports that remade by Young really inspired Newett to write the alleged libel. Opposing counsel worded the same inquiry differently.

when asking if a venireman would be prejudiced against either party to the suit. "Would the fact that the defendant is a neighbor and a citizen of this community, while the plaintiff is a resident of a distant state, prejudice you against the plaintiff?" was the way, in effect, that Mr. Pound put it. Mr. Belden would ask: "Would the fact that one party to this suit is a former president of the United States, while the other is a mere citizen cause you to give more weight to the statements of one side than the other?" In all, five veniremen were dismissed for cause, two of these because they failed to comprehend simple questions asked them.

One of them said he could render fair decision "regardless of the evidence" whereat went around the room, but subsided before the court could utter, the warning that hung on his lips. other seemed stricken dumb, an apparent victim of stage fright.

The contracts in themselves were not illegal he said, but were illegal, according to the supreme court, if they were entered into as a result of a concerted plan or plot to restrain trade. If his amendment were not accepted, Mr. Johnson said, the decree would be wider than the finding of the court. CONTRACTS DECLARED VOID.

Mr. Todd, answering Mr. Johnson, said there was nothing in the decree to commit the lower court to any interpretation of language of the supreme court. The decree simply declared. the present contracts void and nothing else, he said.

Mr. Johnson's suggested amendment, he added, went further and attempted to construe the decision of Justice Lurton. It was finally agreed to strike out of the decree, the words "and from entering into any like agreements or arrangements" and letting the decree stand 80 that the contracts mentioned in the case shall be cancelled. FIVE CONTRACTS EXEMPT. The contract between the Pennsylvania Coal company and the Elk Hill Coal and Iron company, is exempted of from the cancellation order by direction the supreme court, following the acquiescence of former Attorney General Wickersham.

Four other contracts are likewise permitted to remain in force, on condition that Judges Gray, Buffington and McPherson retain jurisdiction tor hear arguments and determine whether, under the principles declared by the supreme court, are in violation of the Sherman law. These are contracts between the New York, Susquehanna and Western Coal company and John Jermyn and Joseph J. Jermyn; Hillside Coal and Iron company and Lackawanna Coal company limited; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company and People's Coal company. The decree assesses the cost of the court of the suit against the defendant corporations. The so-called minor combinations, against which the department of jjus-, tice is now considering the question of further proceedings, are those alleged to have been created by the absorption, in 1896, of the New York, Susquehanna Western Railroad company the Erie; in 1901 by the acquisition by the Reading company, which owned the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and Coal company by a similar name, of the Central Railroad company of New Jersey with its coal companies, and in 1899.

WILSON TAKES STAND AGAINST WORK OF LOBBY (Continued from page 1.) imous in support of the president's statement, maintaining that they are well able to handle the important pending tariff legislation and that sugar and wool will be thoroughly considered and discussed, both in the finance committee and Democratic caucus, before the bill is reported to the senate.

Many conflicting rumors being sent broadcast regarding proposed changes in these schedules, are attributed by the finance committee members to lobbyists. That no changes of policy relating to either schedule has yet been determined, is flatly denied by the members of the committec. SOME RATE CHANGES. Following the statement made several days ago by Senator Williams, of the finance sub-committee which has the agricultural schedule under consideration, that the rates on live stock and their products and grains and their products would be equalized, it was reported toduy that the committee had agreed to put wheat on the free list along with wheat flour. In the Underwood bill, wheat is given a duty of ten cents a bushel, while wheat flour is free of duty.

It also was reported that committee probably would recommend removal of the 10 per cent duty on cattle and hogs, in conformity to the free listing all fresh meats in the Underwood bill. CLOTHING MEN SATISFIED. Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, said today that a large delegation of manufacturers of clothing for men and women, from Cleveland, Cincinnati and other Ohio cities, had called and informed him that they did not care one way or another about the tariff duties placed upon ready made clothing. told me," said Senator Pomerene, "that they were ready right now to go into and compete with the foreign manufacturers of ready made clothes. What they are asking is that the date for putting all schedules of the tariff bill into effect, be delayed long enough after the passage of the bill to enable them to adapt their business to the new rates." Senate sub-committees which will close oral hearings tomorrow night, were pushed to the limit all day and tonight, some of them hearing as many as thirty representatives of manufacturing and other interests.

In the senate, Senator Cummins questioned the methods by which experts of the finance committee had reduced the specific rates in the Payne-Aldrich bill to the equivalent ad valorem rates in the Underwood bill. He said that the equivalents were misleading in many instances. Senator Simmons said he would endeavor to ascertain the meth-.
