-Washington, Nov. 18.—The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day delivered a death blow at viola-
tions of the Sherman antitrust law
under the cloak of protection of the
patent laws, by annulling as invalid
"license agreements" which held man
ufacturers of sanitary enameled iron
ware together In the combination
known as the "bath tub" trust.
Justice McKenna delivered the
unanimous opinion of the court. H#
said that rights conferred by patents
were extensive but did not give a
universal license against the positive
prohibitions of the Sherman law. The
decision fully sustained the govern-
ment in its fight begun over a year
ago against the bath tub and enam-
eled ware manufacturers.

the manufacturers had not violated
any conditions of the agreements,
among these conditions being one
that they would not sell to any jobber
who did not sign a contract not. to
buy from any one other than the
corporate defendants; and another
that they would not sell at a lower
/price or on more attractive terms
than those named in a schedule of
prices attached to the agreement.
LOWER COURT SUSTAINED.
The lower court held that the
agreements destroyed competition and

majority of the "no" vote was in the
neighborhood of 8,000 and the silent

ly 50,000. Oklahoma and Muskogee
counties are yet to be heard from.
Much speculation is rife as to just
why the vote of this county is held
out but attempts at crooked work
are a certainty. Ex-Governor T. B.
Ferguson was greatly stirred up over
the action of the Blaine county offi-
cials in tampering with the returns
from that county. Yesterday his at-
tude towards the matter was put as
follows:
"It is folly for this board to remain
