Vicksburg, Miss., Sept. 21.— Chancel-
lor Hicks late today declared that the
Gulf Compress company is an illegal
trust and gave the corporation one year
to wind up Ito business in the state and
withdraw. He denied an application
for a receiver. The decision is a vic-
tory for Dltrlot Attorney James D.
Thomas, who less than two weeks ago
filed suit against the Gulf Compress
company asking that a receiver be ap-
pointed to take charge of the affairs of
the concern and it be declared an ille-
ba combination in restraint of trade.
The Gulf Compress company owns or
controls thirty-one compresses in the
south, sixteen of which are located in
Mississippi. The ouster suit wan
hrought by District Attorney Thomas
directly as the result of the purchase
of an independent compress at Vicks-
burg by the Gulf Compress company.
It was alleged by the state that this
compress was purchased in violation
of the Mississippi anti-trust law, which
prohibMs one corporation from pur-
chasingithe interests of a competitive
corpoveton. For defense, the Gulf
Compress company set up that the
Vicksburg Independent plant was pur-
chased from an individual to whom it
Wa9 81 a,Ahort time previous by the
old corporatton.
Beck of‘this proceedings are numer-
ou9.domplalnts from cotton men of
V1o28bur and other sections of the

or the Gulf Compress company in
handling cotton.
