Washington, May 8.—The highest
significance la attached In Washing-
ton to two drastic anti-trust decisions
banded down by the Supreme Court
Monday arising under the anti-trust
laws of the states of Tennessee and
Mississippi.
In the, latter case the state was sus-
tained In action It took against about
thirty lumber companies which were
charged with violating the Mississippi
anti-trust law by forming and mail
tabling a combination to regulate and
Increase prices. The state sued to re-
cover penalties, which at the maximum
might aggregate the enormous sum of
$345,000,000 and at the minimum $14,*
000,000. The fact that the Supreme
Court sustained the Mississippi law,
notwithstanding that the slse of the
penalties If enforced would mean the
complete confiscation of the property
ct the lumber companies, would seem
to mean that In the view of the court
there la absolutory no limit to the ex-
tent to which a state may go for the
protection of Its people from the evils
cf monopoly. Senator Percy of Mis-
sissippi said Monday evening that the
decision of tha Supreme Court In the
case fhofp his state was. of the first
Importance and would have a far-
reaching effect I
Tennessee Ouster Sustained.
The Tennessee case involved the
Standard Oil Company of .Kentucky,
-which was charged with violating tha
state antl-truet law. The,officials of
Tennessee sought to oust tie Kentucky
corporation from tha state as an anti-
trust law breaker, and their efforts
-were sustained by a decision of tha
Stats Supreme Court From thla de-
cision tha Standard Oil Company af
Kentucky appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States on a writ
cf error, and this appeal was Monday
dismissed, leaving tha Kentucky cor-
poration entirely at tha mercy af tha
Tennessee authorities.
Looks Bad for Trusts.
. Tha character of these decision* Is
taken here as a strong pointer as to
tha manner In which the Supreme
Court may ho expected to decide the
at antl-trnst cases against tha
American Tobacco Company and
adard Oil when they come «p at
fall’s farm of tho court Tha
tact that In each of tho Important
-rases decided the court was unani-
mous Increases the impression that it
-will go hard wtth tha trusts next fall.
Justice Lurton wrote the opinion of
this court in the Mississippi case, this
being the first he has hapdad down.
Another Interesting circumstance Is
that John J. Vertreee, now counsel for
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger be*
fore the Investigating committee, ap-
peared for tha Standard OU Company
fa the Tennessee courts whan tha
case was pending there.

RESIDENT TAFT has
several hobbles, but
foremost of these-—
measured by loyalty
and enthusiasm — Is
the game of golf, of
which he has been a
devotee for a number
of years past Soma

ever resided at the White House, and
the only explanation of why,he did not
learn golf long ago must be found In
the fact that he simply overlooked the
game. Everything else from tennis to
sailing he had mastered ere he set out
to conquer his first golf course.
Mr. Robert Taft the eldest son af
the president became a pretty good
goPfet- almost unconsciously in tha
days when he and all bis cousins gath-
ered every vacation at the common
summer rallying ground of the whole
Taft clan at Murray Bay, Canada, on
the ahore of tha St Lawrence river.
Mias Helen Taft haa never cared
much much for golf as compared with
horseback riding and motoring and
•* For all that the president was all
the while, a very busy man. He set
apart a period of each day for the In-
struction of his golfing protege. In-
struction began when the Tafts were
at Hot 8prtnga, Va.; It was continued
When Charlie spent with the family at
Augusta. Georgia, the first Christmas
holidays after Taft’a election as presi-
dent; and finally It has progressed at
Washington and at Beverly. Maas., golf
as to his son’s "form." he Is prone to
let the lad work out his own salvation
as a goiter. For a time Charlie was
content to confine his activities to a
nine-hole course, but now, like his fa-
ther, he scorns anything less than an
18-hole course.
The president and his eldest son al-
most never go to the golf links save
In golfing attire. Not that there Is
anything conspicuous in the costume
of either, but some concession, even
though It be only outing flannels and
a Scotch cap. Is made to the business
In hand. The ever-actlve Charlie, on
the other hand, aa may be surmised
from the accompanying pictures, Is no
stickler for togs when a-golfing. Inci-
dentally It may be remarked that the
youngest son of the president la al-
ways much mora of a hero to his
caddy than la his father. Perhaps this
is due In part to his many likeable
characteristics by no means the least
of which Is his refreshing democracy.
Ever since he took to golfing, Charlie
Taft has chosen his partners and op-
ponents only with regard to their skill
and sportsmanlike tendencies, and
with no reference to who their fa-
thers might be. Charlie’s Indepen-
dence In Buch matters was evidenced
when his father was secretary of War,
by his summary withdrawal from;
Quentin Roosevelt’s baseball nine be-
cause of some of the dictates at- the

Gentlemen Two.
Two street cleaning department
men were having an altercation as
they were driving their carts side by
side along upper Broadway the other
afternoon. One was red-faced and
.bulbous-nosed, the typical “rummy.”
The other was an adder-headed negro,
both looked utterly disreputable.
"Get out o’ jay way!” yelled the rad-
faced man. "Don’t cher know enough
to get outer der way when you see a
gentleman?"
"I’m more of a gem’men than you,

The oldest club In St. Petersburg,
the Angllskie. or English club, was
founded In 1769. It does not now num-
ber an Englishman, or any other for-
eigner among its members, though
It was started by Francis Gardner,
merchant manufacturer and ship
owner, a partner In the old Muscovy
company, whose first charter was
granted by Queen Elisabeth of Eng-
land and Czar Ivan the Terrible.
Throughout the ferment of a few
years ago 8L‘ Petersburg was never
without Its crop of mushroom clubs,
which sprang up In a night and
changed their names and the names
of tha games they played every other
month or at shorter Intervals tf they
failed to reach a working agreement
with the local chief of police. The
old Angllakle klub haa watched them
come and go wtth Indifference.
* Its membership haa contributed to
the annals of universal clubland.
Boeuf Stroganoff, which figures In the
restaurant menu of mankind, Is an In-
vention of one of its members, Count
Stroganoff; sauce Nesselrode 1s an-
other, named after Alexander l.’a sec-
retary of atata, who directed Russia’s
diplomacy In th* days of Napoleon I„
and signed the treaty of Vienna after
the Coralcan'a downfall. Pushkin,
poet and ofllcar at the Imperial guard,
"Russia’s Byron." was a member, as
was Bismarck's fltpjomatlo rival.
Prince Qortschakoff.
There to the German Merchants*
club In the center of the city. Like
the two senior aristocratic institutions
It refuses to admit that Its title should
define Its membership, which to nei-
ther very German nor vary mercan-
tile. It to tha synonym for good
bourgeois comfort and 1s probably the
most steadily prosperous of all the
clubs.
Its social complexion resembles the
recently founded Octobrists club for
moderate politicians, founded by the
party of that name. Tbelr radical op-
ponents founded a constitutional dem-
ocratic club three years ago.
The problem that the gregarious In-
stinct of Russians In their long, dark
evenings has set before the governor
of the city springs mostly from the
smaller clubs. In a tentative bray the
chiefs of the government are trying to
steer them Into what are officially
looked on as safe and wholesome
courses. Prime Minister Stolypln has
Just sent good wishes to the newly
formed Academic club of senior stu-
dents and graduates, whose bond of
union Is Interest In scholarship and
university studies.
The Ingrained fear of meetings In-
fluences every application of the re-
gime of re-enforoed protection. In the
private rooms of restaurants where
dluner parties are given, there must
be no key or bolt to the doors, nor
may the restaurant keeper supply hls
guests with writing materials. If a
party of more than ten are to meet In
any hired room they must give 48
hours' notice to the police, stating th*
purpose of their gathering, even if It
to only a dance or a wedding feast
St. Petersburg has an exoeaa of
male population, due to the greater
number of men from tbe provinces In
the Junior branches of the Imperial
administration, and to the aggrega-
tion of young army officers. More
youngsters lose great sums at cards
than In any other capital In Europe,
and the cheating is notorious. Tbe
gambling clubs that get closed and
reappear In other premises are usual-
ly marked down on the complaint of
a family whose son has gone bankrupt
at their tables. At nearly all of them,
men and women play aide by aide and.
of course, take one another’s money
with equal remorselessness. Period-
ically there Is a crisis. Somebody
cuts the light off while hls confeder-
ate scoops the stakes on the tables.
A few revolver shots follow, there la
a rush for the street and the police
are brought in. ^
The scamps In the gambling clubs
are so numerous and know so much
about each other that nothing can be
-done to get up evidence for a prose-
cution. The police have no authority
to arrest officers of the army and na-
vy. If they are mixed up in a club
scandal the officer of the brigade on
guard duty must be sent for to dl»
dpllno them.
Thla absolute authority of the se-
nior officer over all military and naval
men at all times overrides club com-
mittees or any other social authority.
In the main saloon of a leading res-
taurant here some years ago, the lata
Grand Duke Vladimir after copious re-
freshment left his table, went toward
th* wife of a civilian, patted bar on
th* shoulder and told her ah* was
beautiful. The husband sprang up
and pushed him sharply back some
yards. Diners and the waiters looked
for a scene, but a very old man In
general's uniform—all military offi-
cers whether on the active or reserve
list wear their uniforms at all tlmes-
got up and crossed to tbe grand duke
with the order In one sentence to re-
port himself at once to tha military
commandant’s quarters.
