TRUST WHIPPED, SAY sHADLEY.
Declares Decision Against Standard
Oil Company Most Important.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 27.-Attor-
ney General Hadley declared the deci-
sion of Judge Robert A. Anthony, in
the Standard Oil case, "can be regard
ed as one of the most important in the
history of the litigation, not only of
this state, but of the nation.
If" he continued, 'the Standard Oil
company, the greatest combination Of
money and of power that the world
has ever known, is forced by the de-
cisions of the courts to organize and
conduct it's business in accordance
with law, then there will be but little
hope for other enterprises to do 9TH
erwise.

confronts the American people today
fseas to whether the great combina-
lions Of wealth can continue as they
have in the past in open defiance and
violation of the laws of the nation
and of the state''

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great. q change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

STILL EXAMINING TALEsMEN.
Progress of Haywood Murder Case at
Boise, Idaho.

Boise, Idaho, May 25.-The way to
the further use of peremptory chal-
lenges on the jury being formed to
try William D. Haywood on the charge
of murder was cleared again Friday
morning when Talesman Henry Cur
tits qualified for the place of Juror
IOrric Cole and the defense finished
its reserved examination of and
passed Juror John Whitlock. Henry
Curtis is an exceedingly intelligent
farmer who finds time to read and
study, and his examination made one
of the few bright spots in the long,
slow, monotonous quest for jurors.
He and Clarence barrow, Tor the de-
tense, had an informal talk on social
ism that greatly interested the court
and spectators.
Juror Whitlock was only briefly
questioned and the inquiries did not
develop the reason that led the de-
tense to reserve its examination Of
him
There was the usual objection to
the state getting more than five per-
emtory challenges and when the rec
ord had been completed down to the
defense's exception, the state for its
seventh challenge excused Juror
Isaac Bedell, farmer who for sew
eral days has occupied. seat No. 2.
-Four talesmen called to fill the place
was speedily dismissed for bias, and
the fifth was under examination as
the noon recess was reached.
There was slim attendance again
Friday, the courtroom being scarcely
half full.

RULES FOR DUSTIHC
OF The OIL Trust
MISSOURI JUDGE RECOMMENDS
THAT COMBINE BE DRIVEN
FROM MISSOURI.
DECISION A COMPLETE
VICTORY FOR HADLE4
r. A. Anthony, Appointed to Take
Testimony in Suit, Finds Stand.
ard, Waters-Pierce and Republic
Are Guilty Of Conspiracy.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 25.-Judge
Robert A. Anthony, appointed by the
supreme court of Missouri to take tes
timony in the suit instituted by At
torney General Hadley against the
Standard Oil company, the Waters
Pierce Oil company, and the Republic
Oil company, charging a conspiracy.
HIS findings hold that the Standard,
Waters-Pierce and Republic Oil com
panies entered into an agreement to
control prices Of oil. He recon-
mends that their charters be revoked
and that they be busted from the
state. In his report he holds that
the supreme court has the authority to
make the ruling of custer.
Suit Filed Two Years Ago..
Attorney General Hadley filed the
suit in the supreme court two years
ago, charging that the Standard Oil
company, the Waters Pierce Oil com.
pany and the Republic Oil company
were in trust and were parties to
conspiracy to control the price OF
oil and petroleum products in Mis-
souri,, and to limit and prevent compe
tition in the oil business.
Judge Anthony of Fredericktown,
Mo-, was appointed by the supreme
court to take testimony and report
his finding to the court More than a
year has been occupied in the taking
of the testimony, witnesses having
been examined in New York, st. Louis
and other cities.
In his report to the court Judge An
thony reviews in detail the testimony
showing the organization and conduct
of the companies. He reports to the
court that the evidence shows that in
1901 the Standard, Waters-Pierce and
Republic Oil companies entered into
an agreement; which continued to ex.
list up to the time of the filing of the
suit, for the purpose of fixing and con-
trolling the prices to be paid by retail
dealers and others in Missouri for the
products of petroleum, and to limit
and prevent competition in the bust
ness of buying and selling oil.
Hadley's Contentious Sustained.
The finding of the commissioner
sustains, lin toto the contentious of At
torney General Hadley in the petition
filed with the court two years ago.
The report of Commissioner An
thony will now be reviewed by the SUI.
preme court. The court may affirm
the findings of the commissioner or it
may remand the case to him with di-
rections for further proceedings.
I If the report should be affirmed and
the findings of the commissioner adopt.
ed by the court, the court will then
have power to take from the Waters
Pierce Oil company, which is a Mis-
souri, corporation, its 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 business in Missouri.
The court may impose fines on the de-
PENDANTS.

HOT REPLY BY FORAKER
OHIO SENATOR REsENTs CHAIR.
MAN BROWNS DIcTATIoN.
Refers to Statement of Head of state
Central Committee as "offen-
sive Bossism."

Washington, May Ex-senator Fora
ker of Ohio Saturday issued spirited
rejoinder to the statement made pub
lie made in Columbus, O., Friday by
Chairman Brown of the Republican
state central committee, embodying
his views and those of Gov Harris and
other state officials respecting Ohio's
choice of a candidate for the presi-
dency.
The senator says it is difficult to
make a polite answer" to a part of
Chairman Browns statement, declar-
ing that for rank, dictatorial and Of
fensive bossism, it far exceeds any
thing / can recall" He gives definite
notice that he not only resents Chair
man Browns dictation, but that his
choice for the presidency Will be
named by the next convention of Ohio
Republicans. and that he will abide by
that choice.
Columbus, o., May 20.-Gov. Harris
would say but very little regarding the
interview of Senator Foraker at Wash
tngton over the latest phase of the
Ohio political situation.
Senator Foraker's statement does
not call for any answer from me- he
said, for it seems to be directed to
Chairman Brown. When l read
Browns statement thought the SEN.
ator would have something to say. /
see that Senator Foraker does not
question the right of the state officials
to express their preferences in this
matter. I do not care to comment
further on the matter"
Chairman Vorys of the Taft forces
declined to say word about the SEN
ator's statement.

MRS. M'KINLEY NOT 50 WELL.
Doctors Say Hoped-For Improvement
Can Scarcely Be Expected.

f4
Canton, o., May 27-The following
bulletin was issued at the Mckinley
home by Drs Portmann, Eymann and
Rixey, at II a. m. Saturday:
'"The doctors report Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition is less favorable. She
takes less nourishment and what is
taken by the mouth is administered
with increased difficulty. She does
not suffer pain and seems to rest as
comfortably as possible. The hoped
for improvement can scarcely be ex-
pected."
It. is said, however, that there are
no indications of immediate dissolu-
ton.
1t is understood that DR.. Rixey had
planned to leave Canton for the east
at one o'clock in the afternoon, but
The change for the worse in the con-
fiition of Mrs. Mckinley will prob
ably detain him longer at the McKin-
ley home.
At 1915 o'clock Rev. DR.. Buxton,
pastor of the First Methodist Episco-
pal church, of which Mrs. Mckinley
Is a member, came from the McKin-
ley home. He said that he found the
symptoms of the patient alarming.
Mrs. Mckinley is gradually sinking,
and he believes she. cannot possibly
survive.
At 2:30 in the afternoon DIR. Rixey
said: There has been no material
Z change in the condition of Mrs. Nc
kinley; if anything, she is somewhat
worse
DIR. Rixey and Secretary Cortelyou
are now undecided when they will

HAYWOOD JURY IN SIGHT
ONLY FIVE PEREMPToRY cHAL.
LENGEs LEFT.
State Has TWO and Defense Three
Talesman Opposed to Capital
Punishment Accepted.

Boise, Idaho, May 27.-Two more
talesmen qualified as jurors and the
fourteenth and fifteenth peremptory
challenges were expended at the
Steunenberg murder trial Saturday
morning. The state has but two per-
emptory challenges left and the de-
tense only three more, SO that the
completion of bodybuilding is finally
in sight.
Talesman Finley Mclean, who quail
flied to the satisfaction of the state
late Friday afternoon, was not long in
passing muster to the satisfaction of
the defense. AS soon as it passed
Mclean, the defense challenged Juror
John Whitlock of chair No. 6, and the
filling of the vacancy created one of
the most remarkable discussions of
the entire jury quest. After two tales
men had been dismissed for bias be-
cause of fixed opinions, ]. e. Tourtel-
1otte, architect of Boise, was called.
Under examination by Senator Borah
he said that he was opposed to capital
punishment, but regardless of this he
was passed
ID + u - .
Clarence barrow, who examined
Tourtellotte for the defense, went d.
rectly to the attitude of the talesman
on capital punishment. Tourtellotte
declared that he could only justify
capital punishment in time of war and
when society must protect itself
against organizations seeking its de-
struction. 1t developed that he re-
ferred to anarchists in the latter con-
nection, and Tourtellotte said that he
was prepared to hang an anarchist on
sight. Other than in war and anarchy,
society had no right, he thought, to
take human life, no right to take any
thing it could not give.
Mr.. barrow made sure that the
talesman did not mean the Western
Federation of Miners when he referred
to organizations that made war on So
ciety, and after conference with his
colleagues suddenly announced that
the defense passed Tourtellotte. The
latter clearly disqualified himself for
jury duty by his attitude toward CAPT
tai punishment. 1t was not clear why
the state passed him. The state then
challenged Juror George H. Mcintyre
of seat No Z, the search for a worthy
man to fill the place then proceeded.
