FEDERAL SUIT CAN INCLUDE ALL
ILLEGAL ACTS OF THE
TRUST.

st. Paul, June 9.-The Standard Oil
monopoly has suffered a second re-
verse in it's fight for existence. The
judges of the United States circuit
court yesterday filed an order overrul,
ing the bill of exceptions to the gov,
ernment's complaint in the action to
dissolve the alleged unlawful combi
nation in restraint of trade.
The hearing of the bill of exceptions
was had May "a before Judges Walter

liam G.. Hook and Elmer B. Adams,
and the order denying the bill is sign
ed by all the sitting judges.
Company Must Answer.
The order overruling the bill of ex-
ceptions is of much Importance, for it
clears the way for an early joining of
issues between the government and
the Standard Oil company. The Stand
ard Oil attorneys have three weeks in
which to make answer to those por-
tions of the governments complaint
embraced in the bill of exceptions.
Yesterdays order by the judges of
the circuit court has direct bearing
on the future conduct of the case. It
means that the government will be
permitted to proceed on lines set
forth in the complaint; that issue will
not be joined on alleged
