Chief Executive's Lotus Ciub in erfe| by Many the abhf Every Made. v Address Before New Vork CoiUftfc^ ost.Remtok*,.* Washington. Nov. 20.--The Supreme court of the United States delivered a death blow Monday at violations of the Sherman anti-trust law under the cloak of the protection of the patent laws by annulling- as invalid "license agreements" which hold manufactur­ ers of sanitary enameled ironware to­ gether in the combination known the "bathtub trust." Justice McKenna delivered the unanimous opinion of the court. He said that rights confopred by patents were extensive against the positive prohibitions of the Sherman law. The decision fullv^sustained the govern­ ment In its fight begun over a year ago against the bathtub and enamel ware manufacturers. The fight against the enameled ware manufacturers was begun by the gov­ ernment in the United States district; court of Maryland, it being charged that the 50 defendants named had brought about a combination to re­ strain interstate trade in sanitary en­ ameled ironware and had attempted to monopolize that trade. Sixteen of the defendants were corporations. One of the individual defendants was Edwin L. Wayman, with whom the corporate defendants and their of­ ficials were charged with having made Illegal agreements, in effect licenses, for the use of a patented enameling tool. Wayman was to refund part^of the license fee if the manufacturers had not violated any condition of the agreements, among those conditions being one that they would not sell to any jobber who did not sign a con­ tract not to buy from anyone other than the corporate defendants, and an­ other 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. The lower court held that the agree­ ments destroyed competition and fixed prices in violation of the Sherman v law. The lower court prohibited the defendants from attempting further to restrain trade by means of these agreements. Justice McKenna, in announcing the decision of the Surreme court, called attention to the effectiveness of the combination made possible among en- amelwaTe manufacturers through Way- man's plan to grant licenses on his Improvement for enameling.

Five of those arrested were indicted by the United States grand jury at Cincinnati last month.

RENEW BIG BATTLE TURK8 REPUL8E BULGARIANS AT GATES OF CONSTANTINOPLE. Nazlm Paeha Reports Great Victory- Little Headway Is Being Made In Peace Negotiations. Constantinople, Nov. 19.--An official dispatch to the government from Na­ zlm Pasha, in command of the Turk­ ish army, states that the Bulgarians were repulsed in their attack on the Tchatalja lines and that the Turks captured 8,000 prisoners, twelve guns and a large quantity of war munitions. The battle raged from daylight to dark, to the accompaniment of a con­ tinuous reverberation of heavy artil­ lery all along the twenty-mile line of the Tchatalja forts, the last defenses of Constantinople. In the meantime the peace negotia­ tions are in progress, but little head­ way is being made owing to the dila­ tory tacticB being pursued by tho Turkish government. The allies have submitted terms for an armistice in reply to the Turkish request for a cessation of hostilities which stipu­ late what is tantamount to the uncon­ ditional surrender. The Turks are bickerjftg for concessions which ad­ vice^ from all sources agree will not Jbe gran^gd. VarioW^psions of these 1Vrkishai§mand8 are at hand, but the likeliest description Includes the pro­ posal that Crete be ceded to Greece in exchange for the restoration of Salonika and the coastal districts oc­ cupied; that Adrianople and Kirk- Kllisseh shall remain Turkish under a decentralized administration; that the vilayets of Uskub, Monastir and Scutari be granted autonomous pow­ ers if Bulgaria, Servia and Montene­ gro pay a yearly indemnity to Tur­ key, the government of these districts ^to be centered In single representa- tivea^of Turkey and each of the Fal- kan states, with Its seat as Uskub; the railway to Salonika to b-j com­ pletely free for exports of all articles from Servia: Kavala to be a fre« port of entry for Bulgaria and San Qto- ranni dl Medua a free port for Monte­ negro, and the Balkan states must not demand separate war indemnities.

London, Nov. 19.--Any idea that the Turkish government may-have had of benefiting by continued^ resistance must be shattered by news of the fall on Monday of Monastir. In the capture of that important town the Servians took three pashas, including the commander-in-chief, Zek- ki Pasha, 50,000 men and 47 guns, thus achieving the greatest individual suc­ cess of the war. Macedonia Free From Turk Rule. Monastir was the second city of im­ portance in European Turkey. It was Turkey's stronghold in Macedonia, and by its downfall Macedonia passes com­ pletely out of Turkish hands. The city had been virtually sur­ rounded by Servian troops for several days, while Greek troops coming from the south had cut off the Turkish line of retreat to Ochrida. On Saturday the Servian troops after desperate fighting throughout the day and night succeeded in capturing two important heights commanding the city. They then advanced through the morasses upon the inner fortification, which sur^ rendered today. Monastir is the headquarters of the Sixth Turkish army corps, command­ ed by Fethi Pasha* but many other Turkish troops fleeing from surround­ ing towns which had been captured by the Servians concentrated there. Outshines Capture of Salonika. The Servians naturally are elated at this victory, which outshines the cap­ ture of Salonika and must have a great moral effect* on the future course of the war. Another of the strange sllenaes which have been characteristic of this war appears to have fallen over Con­ stantinople, from which city only brief dispatches have been received telling of the resumption of the Turkish bat­ tle and that the sultan has made a fresh personal appeal to the European sovereigns to intervene for tho ter­ mination of the war. Quite as little may be expected to come of this ap­ peal as of the previous attempt at mediation by the powers. Must Appeal for Terms. With cholera and typhus ravaging her demoralized army and a powerful enemy hammering at the gates of the capital, Turkey must again appeal to the allies for terms. As the effect of the victory at Mon­ astir will be to stiffen the Servian government in resisting Austrian pre­ tentions, the consular troubles at Prls- rand and Mltrovltza are breeding a dangerous spirit of ill feeling between Austria and Servia. Nazlm Pasha, the Turkish com­ mander-in-chief at Tchatalja, sent a long report to the Turkish war office at Constantinople on Sunday night re­ cording his success against the Bul­ garian attackers^according to a news agency dispatch. He said: "After 14 hours of the most severe fighting our army was able to advance as far as Karakli. The enemy was beaten, losing over 1,000 killed and wounded in addition to three battal­ ions, captured with the whole of their officers." Turks Again Ask Intervention. Constantinople, Nov. 19.--The sul­ tan has addressed an appeal to the sovereigns of the great powers through the Russian ambassador, requesting intervention to end the war. A more optimistic tone prevails in official circles, due to confidence that the troops will be able to hold the lines at Tchatalja. It Is reported that cholera and typhus are causing fear­ ful ravages in the Bulgarian ranks. A memorial urging the great powers to secure Albania's national and po­ litical independence was presented by a deputation of Albanians to the for­ eign embassies and the Turkish for­ eign office. A detachmcnt of 100 British blue­ jackets has been lent by the British cruiser Weymouth to guard the United States embassy, as the American star tion ship Scorpion has been allotted to duty on the Upper Bosphorus. 5,000 Dying Dally of Cholera.

The man who scofTs at an or doctrine which he does not fully un­ derstand haB at least the courage to show where be stands. The gospel of Health has many con­ verts who formerly laughed at the idea that coffec and tea, for example, ever hurt anyone. Upon looking Into the matter seriously, often at the sug­ gestion of a friend, such persona have found that Postum and a friend's advice have been their salvation.

"Her landlady persuaded her to quit coffee and use Postum and In a few days she was entirely free from head­ ache."
