Unfortunate Omission,

One Of the most singular instances of
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma
nae maker to the Bastille in 1717. 1t
was made out by order Of the Duke of
Orleans. regent during the minority Of
Louis v. Of France. and read as FOL
lows: Laurence d'Henry, for disre-
spect to King George l. in not mention
ing him in his almanac as king of
Great Britain" How long this un-
lucky almanac maker remained in pris-
on is unknown. The register Of the
Bastille, examined at the time Of the
revolution. failed to throw any light on
the subject.

FIVE SERVANTS.
Clay Pierce Puts on Big
Style-Indicted
Standard Oil
Man.

Jefferson City, Oct. 23.-Ar-
guments in Attorney General
Hadley's suit to GUST the Stand
ard Oil Co., the Waters-Pierce
Oil company, and the Republic
Oil Co. from Missouri were
completed in the Supreme Court
en- banc today. The closing ar.
gument was delivered by H. S.
Priest, counsel for the Waters.
Pierce Co. A decision is expect.
ed the latter part of November,
H. Clay Pierce, member of
the Executive board of the Wat
ers-Pierce Oil company, who is
under indictment in Texas on
a charge of making a false af-
fidavit at the time the Waters
Pierce company was admitted
to that state, was present in
court during the arguments,
He came from st. Louis in his
private car with his attorneys,
Five servants had charge of
the car. Mr.. Pierce's two sons
also accompanied him.
The question before the court
is the affirmation or rejection
of the report of Judge Anthony
commissioner appointed to take
testimony in the suit. Judge
Anthony rendered a verdict OF
custer, which must be affirmed
by the court if it is to be en-.
forced.
The opening argument was
made by Attorney Frank Hag
erman of Kansas City, repre-
senting the oil companies. Mr.
Hagerman admitted the owner
ship of the Waters-Pierce anC
Republic Oil companies by the
Standard Oil Co., and admitted
that Missouri was divided t
prevent the business of ont
company conflicting with tina
Of the other.
He argued that the STANDARD
Oil Co. had a right to obtair
control of other companies, anC
that the common ownership o.
stock of two companies does no
make q trust.
"a division of territory is no
illegal or immoral" he declared
IF there can legally be no ter
ritorial division by business in

law. Every one of those estab
aishments divides the territor,

Attorney General Hadley, il
opening his argument, said:

have violated their promises

was a confused argument upon
law and fact, and was submit
ted with the apparent design
of bothering the commissioner
in his decision, rather than the
enlightenment of the court upon
the issues of the litigation"
The Attorney General then
recalled the history of the Oil
trust, as shown by the evidence.
In closing he said:
This case, which is now sub
mitted for decision, is, with the
possible exception of the Moth.
ern Securities case, the most i'm
] portant that has come before
a court in this country since the
bred Scott case.
Zone of two conclusions is in
evitable. Either our laws, which
represent the experience of CEN
turtles and the moral Judgment
of eighty millions of people, are
an unwarranted and ill-advised
interference with private bust
ness affairs, or else these re,
spondents should be compelled
to discontinue the plan of their
organization and the method in
which their business is conduct
ed.
eff our laws are wrong they
should be repealed. But so long
as they remain upon the statute
books and in the decisions of
our courts they should have a
vigorous and effective interpre-
tation so as to prevent the ex-
istence and operation of combi-
nations of money and of power
which can and do repeal the law
of competition and of supply
and demand; which reduce the
price of raw material which
they purchase, and raise the
price of the finished product
which they sell.
"The question as to whether
such combinations can continue
in the future as they have in
the past, in open and notorious
defiance of the laws Of the ma.
ton and the state, is the most
important question today in our
national life. The decision OF
this question will affect the Sc
curity of our institutions anC
the fuure of our civilization.
"In our day and age trusts
and monopolies have come int
existence and grown to power
not through the assistance o.
the Government and the law
but in opposition to the one aDC
in violation of the other. They
do not exist by reason of un
fair privileges conferred by {
monarch, but they exist and en-
| 10y their power and immensI
profits by reason of unfair anC
illegal privileges; by dishones'
and disreputable methods o.
competition and by a plan o.
organization and operation in
} herently opposed to the law
both Of the nation and of tn,
state.

binations is brought face to fac
with the law and the courts fol

First Three Rounds were Slow

Under local management. the
wrestling game was revived and
the boxing game inaugrratcd be-
] fore large crowd at lac Opera
House last night. The affair was
a big success from every stand
point. The watchword of the af-
fair was "Clcan Athletics. :"
The wrestling match was the
first ON the program and Shuiclt,
Of Toledo, won from kralts, OF De
troit, by securing the first and
third falls. The men went on the
mat weighing 135 pounds. They
went at it hammer and tongs,

each taking advantage OF every
opportunity offered. Using half
Nelson and shoulder hold Shurclt

The second fall went TO Krafts in
Ii minutes after one Of the fast
est round ever Witnessed on the

The little men were by far
faster than the heavier ones who
have been seen III the past on the

was at all times IN doubt. 1t was
4 good clean match and was thor
oughly appreciated by the specta-
tors.
The boxing match was the bright
particular feature Of the evening.
Lape, Of Columbus and Eddie Har-
ris, of Cincinnati, were the con-
testants and both put up clever
exhibition. Before the boxing was
commenced, Lapc and Harris de-
monstratcd large number of the
most effective blows known in the
ring.
The men boxed six two minutes
rounds. The first three rounds
were rather tame, Lape easily put
ting it all over Harris. Tho last
three rounds were li,-licr and in the
last round especially there was
plenty doing. Lapc swung a hard
left to the jaw and right to the
stomach and Harris went face
downward on the floor. The blow
Into his stomach had knocked the
wind cut OF him. lie was picked
up Immediately aud continued the
round in good fashion. OF the
two men, Lapc is by far the better
and had the bout been other than
all exhibition he could have put
him ont III couple OF rounds.
