TO DUST STANDARD
TENNESSEE AUTHORITIES ARE AFTER OIL TRUST.
Bill Filed by Attorney Geperal at Gale latin Seeks to Inhibit Company From Doing Business in
 State

Nashville, Tenn, March 16.--A bill seeking to inhibit the Standard oil Company from doing business in Ten nessAe and to oust that corporation from the State was filed today in the l Chancery Court of Sumner county at ! Cal1atin
 Attorney General Charles n. Gates. Jrs. brings tha suit in behair of the | State under provisions of the aflfi- 1 trust act of the hsegislature of 1903 which act recently has been sustained by the Supreme Court Of Tennessee The bill is filed under section three of the act which provides: Every foreign corporation which shall violate the provisions of this act is hereby denied l the right to do and Is prohibited from doing business in this State. It is hereby made the duty of the Attorney General of the State to enforce these provisions by due process of law
 It summarizes the alleged offenses of the defeDdant corporation in the fol- lowing. 50 that complainant ayers and charges that the unlawful ar rangement. agreements or combina- ttons, made and entered into between the defendant company and its said agents, Conner. Holt and Rutherford and the said Love, Lane, Crone and Hunter as hereinbefore shown, were not only made with a view of lessen ing full and free competition in the sale of defendants oil at Gallatin, but that in fact said unlawful arrange ments. agreements or combinations nat urally tended to and did result in les sening and destroying full ard free competition in defendant company's said oil at Gallatln, and naturally tended to and did result in advancing the price or cost of said oil in and about Gallatin. and in Sumner county, Tenn"
 The bill sets out as basis for tho charge of conspiracy. the facts that where proven in the recent case in the Supreme Court in which 1t was sought to enforce a judgment for a fine against the company. The Su- preme court in the opinion held that they constituted the unlawful agree ruent or conspiracy described by the statute. Therefore, under the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case re- ferred to in order to sustain charges made in this bill. 1t will be necessary only to prove the same facts that were adduced in the case decided at this term.
 conspiracy, tho Supreme Court in the case referred to said, The making of the agreement with Love. with 8 view to lessen competition. and which tend cd to do so, is thus fully proven. That Is all that Is necessary to constitute a violation of the statute :"
 The next term of the Chaneery Court of Sumner county will begin on the first Monday in May. Under the rules of the court, the company must plea, answer or demur on the first day of the term or the bill will be taken for confessed. At the very earliest, it Is highly improbable that the case will be finally disposed in the Chaneery Court until the November term and 1t is very probable that it will not be ready for trial even at that time.

 Tt Is not possible properly to frame so large plan as this for the control of our rivers without taking account of the orderly development of other natur- al resources.

 "The case will necessarily be large in proportion to the magnitude of the benefits to be conferred, but it will be small in comparison with the s17.000.- 100000 of capital now invested in steam railways in the United States--an amount that would have semod enor- nous and incredible half century ago, Yet the investment has been constant source of profit to the people and with out our industrial progress would have been impossible.
 "The question which will come before the inland waterways commission must necessarily relate to every part of the United States, and affect every interest within its borders. It's plans should be considered in the light of the widest knowledge of the country and its peo- pie, and from the most divers points of view Accordingly, when It's work is sufficiently advanced, shall add to the commission, certain consulting members with whom I shall ask that its recon mendation shall be fully discussed be- fore they are submitted to me.
