BIG ARRAY
At ST. PAUL
For Arga Against The
Stal Y
in The U. S. CIRGS !. COURT
Against The
ABLE ARGUMENT ADVANCED BY
ATTORNEY KELLOGG Why OIL
TRUST SHOULD BE BUSTED
NOT ITS PRESENT CONDITION,
BUT ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION.

st. Paul, Mimi. May 24.-Not
since the last arguments were
made in the famous Northern Securi-
ties case in the United States circuit
court, about three years ago. has there
been so noted an array of lawyers as
appeared in that court today in the
case of the United States against the
standard Oil Go. of New Jersey and
its allied corporations.
Judges Sanborn, Vandeventer, Hook
and Adams We're on the bench and the
matter brought for their consideration
was a bill of exceptions filed by the
Standard Oil Co. against the govern
ment's complaint, which seeks to have
the Standard Oil Co. and its seventy
other companies declared an unlawful
combination in restraint of trade and
to have the combination dissolved. The
purpose of the bill of exceptions is to
narrow the issue of the case of the
charges against the oil trust which
date back not further than 1899.
Frank b. Kellogg of this city rep
resents the government and has made
the principal arguments He was as
sisted by M. d. Purdy, assistant Unit
ed States attorney general, and G. b.
Morrison of Chicago. The Standard
Oil Co. was represented by John T.
Johnson OF Philadelphia, John C.
Milburn of New York and H. S. Priest
of St Louis.
In his argument in support of a bill
of exceptions Attorney Johnson of the
Standard OH Co denied that the stan
aard Oil Co. had committed any overt
act in violation of the anti-trus law.
He urged that much of the matter in
the bill of complaint be stricken out as
1T was impertinent matter, relating to
alleged acts of corporations which
went out of existence before 1899,
when the Sherman law became effec-
tive.
In reply Frank Kellogg stated that
in order to show that the violations of
the law had been done 1t would be ne
cessary to show up the history of all
the Standard Oil Co. corporations of
the past and present time. It was
the acts of previous companies. which
made 1T possible for the present Stan
dard Oil Co. holding corporation to
have Il monopoly of the business. He
said the matter which the defendants
wanted stricken out was pertinent as
1t tended to show how the laws had
been violated. He did not say that
the present corporation was violating
the law. 1t had no need for that as
the way had been paved by previous

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, May 24.-When
the Lake Mohonk conference of inter-

fourth session today, it was with the
general expectation of lively discus

platforms 1t was understood that the
business committee, headed by DR..
Samuel j. Barrows of New York had
decided to omit from the platform. to
be reported to the conference for
adoption, any reference to the limita-

This was explained by a desire of
the committee to confine it's recon-
mendations to The Hague conference
to matters for which prospects of af-
firmative action is more Immediately
hopeful. 1t is known, however, that
there is considerable sentiment in the
conference in favor of limitation

that such declaration would be Of
fered from the floor and that there
would be a discussion with a view to
adding 1t to the platform If omitted

that the appointment of the enforce
ment commissioner was direct i'm
fringement upon the constitutional
rights OF local self government. The
legislature had no right to 1attemPt to
administer the functions of local self
government because OF both express
and implied constitutional limitations.
In this case he undertook to make IT
plain to the supreme court that the
express limitations OF the constitution
of North Dakota provided beyond
question that the state laws should be
administered BY the sheriff and that
under no circumstances could any ap-
pointive officer such as enforcement
commissioner usurp the functions of

logical. indicating deep scholarly re-

NEGRO LYNCHED
Citizens of Henryetta Take Law in
Their own Hands When Ne
gro Kills White Man in
Cold Blood.

Henryetta is worked up to high
state OF excitement as the result Of
the lynching of James Garden a negro
on Christmas eve. Garden killed
Albert Bates liveryman in cold blood
Tuesday afternoon because the latter
would not let him have a horse and
carriage and In two hours the negro was
dangling at the end of a rope, and
his body was riddled with bullets.
There was but little ceremony about
the lynching Of Garden. After killing
Bates, Garden was disarmed by John
Wilson and taken bo the city jail
which isla frames structure and not
capable Of standing seige.
Shortly before dusk the jail was en-
tered by an organized mob, Garden
was dragged out, and as he begged for
mercy a rope was placed around his
neck and he was pulled and dragged
to a telephone pole in the heart of the
village The rope was thrown over
one Of the cross bars Of the pole and
the negro was pulled into the air.
The horriable discovery was then
made that the lynchers had forgotten
to tie the negroes hands, and the on
lockers we're shocked to see the strug-
Cling man reach up and grab the rope
which was strangling him and try to
ascend it. His relief was short for
one of the lynchers pulled a gun and
a bullet found its way into the negrcs
body.
