OIL TRUST DEFEATED
IN FIRST BATTLE.
Exceptions to Governments
Bill of Complaint 0verruIed
by U. S. Court.

ST. PAUL, June THE United
States Circuit Court today overruled
the exceptions to the bill of complaint
of the United States against the Stan
dard Oil Company and the defendant
is granted leave to answer as to por-
tions of the bill to which it had filed
exceptions.
The overruling of the company bill
of exceptions TO portions OF the gov
ernment's complaint that the Standard
Oil Company is trust conspiring and
operating in restraint of trade, is a
first victory for the government
The Stardard Oil attorneys asserted
that much of the government s bill of
complaint was impertinent matter. They
urged that the court should not consider
anything which the company had done
which might be construed as viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust law
prior TO the time the law became eff
fective IN 1899
The government S counsel argued that
The whole history of the Standard Oil
Company was a proper allegation in or.
der to show proof of conspiracy.
The government by today's decision
has opportunity to bring evidence tend
ing to show that the present Standard
Oil holding corporation is but a CON
tinuance of the previous trust combi
nation which existed from 1882 to
1889.
