welcoming the visitors in behalf of
the Grand Forks Commercial club.
His address was brim full of humor
and his bright sallies brought forth
roars of laughter. He said he was of
the opinion that he had been selected
to welcome the travellers in behalf
of the business men and the Com
mercial club because of the fact that
nearly all of these business men had
had dealing with the travellers and
they wanted to put some one on the
platform in whom the knights of the
grip could put confidence.
He added that when the club made
the request that he address the visi-
tors, several members had given him
bits of advice to be assimilated at
leisure. They wanted him to dis
card the garb of minister of the
gospel and look as much like busi-
ness man as possible and several
phrases and paraphrases common to
the practical life were whispered in
his ear for use on the platform. DR..
Robertson stated that although he
would not use these expressions it
might be of interest OF the travellers
to repeat few. Chief among the
number was commandment reading:
IF thou gOest across to East Grand
Forks do not take the tunnel but go
by the bridge route overhead"
Going back to the main text of his
address President Robertson dwelt on
the fact that Grand Forks has a
warmth and good feeling toward all
the world, "even to Fargo" as he
put 1t.
He then touched upon the hotel in
spectorship to which position Gov

AMERICAN EXHIBITORS ARE LEADING
IN GREAT INTERNATIONAL HORSE SHOW

A:soeiated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
London, June NO event of its
kind ever brushed away the topmost
bar OF precedent and landed so
abruptly in the arena of success as
has the great International Horse
show, which came into view at Olym-
pia today. To Messrs. Vanderbilt, Ar
mour, Pabst, Winans and other Amer
ican exhibitors ds generously conced-
I'd large measure of the success that
has attended the arrangements and
opening of the show. In its inter-
national character, in the social pos
ition and wealth of its clientele, and
in the number and value of its entries,
the exhibition has never been equal
led in this country.
The horses entered represent ex-
hibitors from many parts of Europe
and America. Walter Winans heads
the list with ninety-three entries. AL
fred T. Vanderbilt has brought over
his entire stable and many vehicles.
Other American exhibitors include j.
w. Hartman, Ogden Armour of Chi

STANDARD OIL
LOSES POINT
Exceptions to the Bill of the
United States is Over
ruled.
Associated Press to The Evening r,m..,

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Paul, June THE United
States circuit today overruled the bill
OF exception to the bill of United
States against the Standard Oil COM
pany and defendants are granted leave
to answer those portions of the bill to
which exceptions were filed.
The over ruling of the bill of excep-
tions of Standard Oil company to GER
tain parts of the federal governments
bill of complaint that the Standard
oll company is trust operating in
restraint OF trade is the first victory
for the government. Attorney Frank
b. Kellogg, of st. Paul, who argued
against the exceptions taken by the
Standard Oil, was matched against
John G. Milburn of New York ana
John G. Johnson of Philadelphia. The
Standard Oil attorneys claimed much
OF the matter contained in the gov
ernment's bill of complaint was i'm
pertinent matter. They claimed that
no attention should be paid by the
court to anything which the Standard
O1l company had done which might be
construed as violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law prior to the time the
law became effective in 1899. On the
other hand, Attorney Kellogg argued
that the whole history of the Stand
ard Oil company was a proper alIe-
cation in order to show that con-
existed even though the steps
were taken previous to the passage of
the law defining and prohibiting such
conspiracy. The government claimed
that the present Standard Oil holding
corporation was nothing but a con-
tlnuance of the previous trust CON-
bination which existed from 1882 to
1899, managed by the same officers
and directors.

cations, the latter accompanied by
Governor John Burke OF North Da-
kota. the bands lead the march to the
Metropolitan opera house where the
public meeting was held with Past
Grand Counselor Terry McCosker pre-
siding.
The opera house was packed to it's
fullest capacity, the yellow, white and
other colors OF the various councils
sprinkled throughout the audience
making the scene a bewildering mass
of color. The invocation was de-
livered by Rev. F. E. R. Miller of the
First Baptist church.
Following the invocation Mayor
George E. Duis delivered the address
of welcome. Mayor Duis dwelt upon
the fact that in her existance of
twenty-five or thirty years Grand
Forks had put herself forth in the
entertainment of various bodies of
visitors and various Organizations but
never had she entertained any one
organization or lodge which gave her
more pleasure that when she extended
the glad hand to the United CONNER
cial Travellers of the northwest. He
knew full we'll the duties which are
shouldered by the knights of the grip.
"The commercial travellers have
very hard duty to perform but they
are performing 1t WE'LL" said the
mayor, and in behalf of the city of
Grand Forks he extended hearty and
cordial welcome. Mayor Duis also
paid compliment to the members
of the Grand Forks council No. "a for
their united efforts and hard labor in
getting everything in readiness for
the glad occasion.

Wesley college and one of the most
