STANDARD
OIL NAY Be
RE0RCANIZED
Trust Winding Up Affairs So
as to Form a New Company
Under New Jersey Laws.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Wall street
was filled yesterday with rumors of
dissolution of the Standard OIL Com
pany and the possible formation Of
new company under the laws Of New
Jersey in which the Objectionable feat
ures which resulted in the adverse ac-
ton Of the Ohio courts could be done
away with. 1t was reported that $500
in cash and two shares of the new
stock were to be given for each of the
outstanding certificates, and hence the
old issues, it was figured, would be
worth about $500 each. 1t was said
that a meeting of the trustees will be
held tomorrow for the purpose Of set
Ting the details of the new company.
According to experts, it has been evil
dent for several days that something
has been under way, but the nature of
the deal has been carefully concealed.
An official has. however, admitted that
the trustees have decided TO go ahead
and wind up in short order the affairs
Of the trust, as heretofore directed by
the Ohio courts.
1t is now expected this work will be
done inside of a few months. This same
official denied that new trust Is to
be organized in New Jersey or any
other State. The trustees. he said,
have no intention of pursuing consoli-
dation and expansion principles in op
position to public sentiment. He said
that what is 10 be done is to wind up
the trust as rapidly as possible. He
also made a statement that the assets
of the trust have been about two-thirds
liouidated. If. therefore. the original
value of the certificates outstanding
was s95. 900, 900 they would now amount
to according to this statement, less
than 1872. 900, 900. When he was asked
a bout the big extra dividends that have
been paid at frequent intervals in ad
dition to the regular 3 per cent quar-
tarlv dividends. the official said these
ev+ra payments represented an actual
division of assets. He declined to make
nublic the plans Of the trustees for
Winding up the affairs of the trust
There was a meeting yesterday TO dis
cuss the matter, and an announcement
is expected to be made public in cou-
ple of DAYS.

OPPOSITION
OF GERMANY
IS REPORTED
But American Delegates Yet
Hope to Maintain Their
Arbitration Plan.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
June Notwithstanding the state
ment to- the contrary made by Mr..
Hollis, secretary of the American dele
cation. to The Hague conference. it is
authcritatively stated the American
delegation has reported determined op-
position by Germany to the adoption Of
an arbitration resolution by the confer
ence.
Considerable regret is felt in official
circles at Germany's attitude, but the
authorities do not see what is to be
gained by concealing the fact, as Mr.,
Hollis is evidently trying to do. 1t is
believed that what he meant to say is
that Germany has not shown any op-
position to arbitration in deliberations
of the committee having arbitration in
charge.
So far as this Government is con-
cerned it has instructed it's delegates
to The Hague to press upon the confer
ence the acceptance of the American
arbitration proposition. The authorities
have closely examined the several arbi-
tration plans advanced, and while nat
ural pride is taken in the American pro
posal it is asserted that in comparing
the merits of each that presented by
Embassador White and his associates,
as set forth in The Call his morning,
is the best The understanding at the
State Department is that the British
plan will be the basis of discussion
when the arbitration committee sub
mits a report to the conference. The.
American delegates will urge upon the
conference the adoption Of the Ameri-
can plan in its entirety, because it con-
templates a permanent arbitration tri-
bunal, while leaving the powers inter
ested in any dispute the option of pre-
senting their controversy to it for ju-
dicial settlement The United States
would be willing to have changes made
in details connected with the appoint
ment of the tribunal number of its
members, etc. but the officials hope
that the general scheme will be
adopted.

When adjournment was had there were
eleven candidates in the field with votes
ranging from Is to y, the highest being

there were no soldiers there. The

He said he did not wish his mother-in-

admitted that he had uttered num-

is proved by a reporter who inVest1-

The opinion gains ground that the

PARIS, June AN. Poincare is
continuing his efforts to form a Cabi-
net. but meets with numerous Difficult
ties. He has been especially desirous
of having NM. Bourgeois, Krantz and
Del Case in the Ministry. NJ. Bour-
geois declines to abandon his mission
at The Hague. NJ. del Casse declines
to take anything but the Foreign Office
portfolio, while NJ. Poincare wants him
at the Ministry of the Interior or the
Ministry of Marine, and M Krantz
raises difficulties concerning the Drey-
fus trial. pointing out that he has dis
cussed the matter with NJ Casimir-
Perier.
1t is understood that several other
prominent men have refused to enter
the Cabinet. These rebuffs are likely
to discourage M. Poincare, who is mod
est and diffident and is inclined to steer
clear of political troubles.
President Loubet, when informed of
the sentence passed upon Baron de
Christiani for attempting to assault
him in the Presidential stand on the
Auteuil race course, exclaimed:
The four years will quickly pass"
This is held to indicate his intention to
exercise clemency.
