ITS EXISTENCE

Washington, Nov. s-Proceedings Will

nopoly Attorney General Moody viii IN
all probability himself present the case
In court The brief Of tho government
on which the prosecution will be based,
has been completed and IL will be laid
before the courts at an early date.
This prosecution will be In the shape OF
a bill of equity setting forth the vio-
Ia tiOns OF the law by the Standard. and in
this bill the government will ask for an
order restraining the Standard from con-
tinuing it's unlawful practices, If this
order Is issued It will bring about the dis
solution OF the Standard oil company.
IL is quite likely that the case VIII he
presented I'm the United States circuit
court at ST. Louis. IL Is the desire OF
President Roosevelt TO have the case pre-
sented I'm the eighth circuit, In which all
important trust prosecutions have been
started. The case can be presented in ST.
Louis St Paul Chicago or in any state
i'm the Union in which federal court is
sitting. but IT is probable that St Louis
will be chosen as the scene Of the gigan-
tic legal battle.
After the government has filed it's brief.

stances I'm which the Antitrust law has
been violated. the government will pre-
sent the evidence II has been gathering
for the last two years The attorney
general believes the government cam make
good it's case. The government will not
ask for a merely temporary restraining
order. but will be patient and devote all
it's energies 10 securing "A permanent in
junction.
In addition to this suit the government
will prosecute the Standard OH company
under the provisions OF the Elkins Anti
I Rebate law. These prosecutions will be
brought by the United States district at
torneys throughout the country
If the government tconvicts the oil trust
on every count and the maximum fines
are imposed. the Standard will have TO
pay over to Uncle Sam an aggregate OF

for receiving rebates hanging over the

The two directors had been accounted

JealOusies of Newport Life
Inspired Big Game
Animosities Between Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish on One
Side and hrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Mrs.
John Jacob Astor the Other Were Cleverly
Utilized to Depose Mr.. Fish From Presidency of
the Illinois Central Railroad.

ETY. Mrs. Fish looks TO that position for
herself
Therefore Mrs. Fish has done every
thing possible TO block the promotion of
the young Mrs Astor. and the latter has
let no opportunity pass To return the
compliment.
During the visit OF Prince Henry TO this
country II was the ambition of Mrs. Fish
TO entertain him at Newport. She was
anxious for the triumph 10 advertise the
stability Of her position as a leader OF
society; and she told her closest friends
OF her plan TO entertain the brother of
tho Emperor Of Germany.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt had met
Prince Henry abroad and had entertained
him az dinner on her husbands yacht, AT
which the kaiser himself was a guest of
the NandeTbits.
II was but natural that she should de-
sire 20 entertain him again. and she dis
counted and utterly spoiled Mrs Fish s
plans by forwarding an invitation to
Prince Henry, and receiving an accept
ance before Mrs. Fish had a chance a.
use the diplomatic measures necessary "a
obtain the royal visitor ~ guest.
Mrs. Fish deeply resented Mrs Wander
bits action and triumph: and coldness
sprang up between the two women which
has existed ever since.
In a tactfu manner Mr.. Hartman in
spired the suggestion TO Mrs. Astor and
Mrs. Vanderbilt that the opportunity was
present In the election Of a president OF
the Illinois Central railroad TO strike a
stunning blow at Mrs. Fish through her
husband and thus pay of social scores.
It was then easy for the two wives 10
influence the action of their husbands.
and make matters of finance subservient
TO those of social nature.
IL was also however. necessary TO pre-
serve secrecy; and Il was not until Har-
riman was ready TO spring his surprise
that Mr. Fish learned that he had been
undermined,
He counted upon both Col. Astor and
Mr.. Vanderbilt as voters for him when
the board of directors met 20 elect a
president; and IL was not until the meet
ing yesterday that their real attitude to-
ward him became known TO the outside
world.
