Commissioner Appointed By SUI

Recommends Custer
AGREEMENT TO CONTROL PRICES
Judge Anthony Finds Conspiracy
Existed Between Standard, Republic
AndWaters-Pieree Companies to
Kill Composition and Boost Prices;
Court Probably Will Approve.

Jefferson City, Mo-. May 24.-Judge
Anthony, appointed by the supreme
court Of Missouri, to take, testimony
in the suit instituted by Attorney Gem
eral Hadley against the Standard Oil
company. the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, and the Republic Oil company.
charging conspiracy, today made a re-
port TO the court. His findings hold
that the companies entered into an
agreement to- control the prices of oil.
He reconnnends that their charters be
revoked and that they be ousted from
the state.
In his report he holds that the SUI
preme court has authority to make a
ruling of custer.
Judge Anthony reviews in detail the
testimony, showing the organization
and conduct of the companies. He
says the evidence shows that in 1901,
the Standard, the Waters-Pierce and
the republic oil companies entered into
an agreement which continued to ex-
list up to the time Of fling the suit
two years ago. for the purpose OF fix
ing and controlling prices to be paid
by retail dealers and others in Mis-
souri, for the products Of petroleum and
to limit and prevent competition In
the business Of buying and selling Oil.
The findings lof the commissioner
sustain in toto the contention OF At
torney General Hadley In his petition.
Commissioner Anthony's report will
now be reviewed by the supreme court.
The court may affirm the findings of
the commissioner or 1t may remand 1t
to him with directions for further pro-
ceedings. If the report should be af-
firmed and. the findings of the COM
missioner adopted by the court, the
court would then have power to take
from the Waters-Pier company
which is Missouri corporation, tits
franchise rights as corporation. With
regard to the Standard and Republic
companies, both of which are foreign
corporations, the court would have
power to cancel their right to do bus
mess in Missouri. The court may i'm
pose fines on defendants.

ARRAY IS NOTABLE
Lawyers Appearing in Case Of United
States Against Standard Oil com-
pany Of New Jersey, Bring to Mem,
ory Famous Northern Securities
c

Case.
ST. Paul. May 24.-Not since the last
arguments were made III the famous
Northern Securities case in the United
States circuit court here about three
years ago, has there been so noted an
array of lawyers as appeared in court
today in the case of the United States
against the Standard Oil company Of
New Jersey, and its allied corporations.
Judges Sanborn. Van Deventef Hook,
and Adams, were on the bench. The
matter brought for their consideration
was bill of exceptions filed by the
Standard OIL company against the gov
ernments complaint, which asks to
have the Standard company and dts
seventy other companies declared an
unlawful combination in restraint OF
trade, and to have the combination dis
solved Frank B. Kellogg, of this city
represents. the government, and he
made the principal argument. He was
assisted by NJ. d. Purdy, assistant
United States attorney general, and G..
b. Morrison, of Chicago. The STANDARD
OIL company is represented by John l.
Johnson, of Philadelphia, and John q.
Milburn, of New York.
Attorney Johnson. for The Standard
Oil. began an attack on the govern
ments bill as soonsas court opened.
He said that the government charged
the Standard Oil Company with hav-
ing committed acts which We're long
in the past, and Of which the court
could have no cognizance. He said
that it was not the Standard OIL Ccqs
pany OF years gone by that the govern
ment sought to have declared an ille-
gal combination, but IT was the Stand
ard Oil Company Of New Jersey that
they wanted broken up. johnson called
attention to the fact that altho the
Standard was charged with many
crimes of rebating In restraint Of trade,
and other acts, yet those engaged with
the defendants in these acts were not
made party to the suit. Johnson read
several rules regarding the introduce
ton Of impertinent matter in the bill
Of complaint, and long recitals of all
legged facts, which he claimed had no
place in the document He devoted
much time In argument on this sub
ject.
