st. Louis, November Is; The
Federal government today made the
initial move to dissolve the Standard
OIL so called monopoly by filing in
the Federal district court Of St Louis
a petition in equity against the Stan
dard Oil company Of New Jersey, and
seventy constituent corporations and
partnerships and seven partnerships,
including John D. Rockefeller and
William D. Rockefeller, asking that
the combination be declared unlaw-
full and in the future enjoin them
from entering into any contract or
combination in restraint OF trade. The

tied to a month in which to enter ap-
pearance, and sixty days to file an

parents are complaining to the dis
trict authorities Of the booze drops
sold to children by confectioners, and
either the law against selling liquor
without license or that against selling
to minors. or both, may be invoked.
It seems that the practice Of eating
candies containing rum has prevailed
among pupils at the central public
high school. In advance Of any actual
prosecution, the offending store-keep-
ers have promised to stop selling the
drops. The authorities have taken q

barred from interstate trade by the
new pure-food law after January 1.
The spiked mints now used at society
receptions and dinners will meet the
same fate.

The explosion of bomb in st.
Peters Cathedral, Rome, last Sunday
has created a sensation throughout the
civilized world. Sunday was the ami
versary Of the dedication Of the ba-
silica to st. Peter and the church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
1t was understood that the pope him
self would offer prayer in the Cathe-
