sci for George Rice of Marietta. Ohio, to-
day, filed in the court of chancery bill
for the dissolution of the Standard Oil
Co. New Jersey corporation, charging
that the company Is illegal and that 1T
exists in violation of the antitrust laws
of the United States and the decision in
this state relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard on
Co. in Ohio was declared illegal by the
courts of that state. but that the com
pany, instead of dissolving in obedience
to that decision, has by subterfuge,
evaded the Ohio decision and that the
New Jersey corporation is merely a hold
ing company for the Ohio concern.
The bill asks that not only the company
be dissolved but that its assets be dis
tributed among its stockholders after
having off its outstanding securities. For
the accomplishment of this purpose 1t is
asked that receiver be appointed.
