ARGUMENTS At ST. PAUL
Are Begun on Bill of Excep.
tons Filed BY Corporation
Against Complaint.

st. Paul, Mimi. May 24.--Not since
the last arguments were made in the
famous Northern Securities case in
the United States Circuit Court here
about three years ago has there been
such a noted array of lawyers as APP
peared before that court this morning
in the case of the United States VS..
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and it's allied corporations.
Judges Sanborn, Van Deventer,
Hook and Adams were upon the bench
and the matter up for their consider
alton was bill of exceptions filed by
the Standard against the governments
complaint which seeks to have the
Standard Oil Company and its seventy
other companies, which are declared to
be in unlawful combination in re-
straint of trade, dissolved.
Frank B. Kellogg, special attorney
for the United States, of this city,
made the principal argument for the
government. The bill of exceptions
makes about fifty objections to the
complaint, the purpose of all of which
is to narrow the issue by eliminating
all parts of the complaint that refer
to the business methods of Rockefel
Ter, Rogers and others as trustees Of
the Standard prior to 1885,

For Prosecution Railroad

Chicago, Ill.,, May 24--A dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington says:
There is big surprise in store for
those who have been expecting the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
recommend to Attorney General Bon
aparte the prosecution of e. H. Harri-
man and his associates and the dis
solving of their railroad combination
for violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
In a conference yesterday between
President Roosevelt and Martin A..
Knapp, chairman of the commission
the fact was brought out that in the
opinion Of leading members of the
commission no law has been violated
by Hartman, though grave evils
have been discovered which warrant
the enactment of laws to prevent their
recurrence.
The commission desires to COM
plete its report by the first of July.
1t will present facts to the United
States attorney general but does not
believe upon the showing made that
any prosecution should be begun.
Chairman Knapp Enters Denial.
Washington, May PA report was
published here this morning to the eff
feet that Chairman Knapp of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, who
had an interview with the President
yesterday afternoon, had informed Mr..
Roosevelt that the investigation by
the Commission into the methods of
the Hartman lines had practically
acquitted Hartman. Chairman Knapp
said today:
The statement is absolutely with
out foundation or excuse, The Com.
mission has taken no action, has
reached no conclusion and has not
even discussed the Hartman case of
late. No report is likely for some
time"
