Washington, Nov. Is. - Attorney

cult to review the judgment of that
court reversing the rulings of Judge
Lands in the case in which the Stand.

on the charge Of violating the anti

the position that the court of appeals
was without jurisdiction when it re.

rehearing is urged On the following
assertions:
1t is highly desirable to promote
Justice in the further prosecution and
final determination of this particular
case.
1t is indispensable for the instruc.
ton and advice of the government.
1t is necessary for the control and
guidance of the federal courts in dis.

The issue of the writ is necessary
also in order that the business com.
munity and the people at large may
be informed as to the meaning of
the law by the judgment Of this court.

important Admissions Wrung
From Oil Magnate's Lips
by Kellogg.
IS NOT FATHER Of TRUST.
John D. Gives Credit to Dodds and
Flagler-Standard Was Pioneer
in No Branch of Trade.

New York, Nov. rs. - That the
standard Oil trust was a pioneer in

The oil business was the admission
which Trust Buster" Frank B. KEEL

the reluctant lips of John D. Rookie
.eller, as the richest man in the world
resumed his fourth day on the witness
stand.
One Of the excuses which Mr.. Rock
afeller gave on direct examination for
The phenomenal growth and success
Of the oil trust was that it had initi-
ated much. Yesterday. step by step,
lie was forced to disown the first pipe
line, the first refinery, the first tank
steamer and the fa'st barrel factory.
Mr.. Kellogg desired to show that

keIIogg's Hottest Shot.
He finally framed this question:
"Then the principal initiation of
the Standard Oil was the purchase of
pipe lines, tanks, tank steamers, re-
fineries and business established by
Others?"
Mr.. Rockefeller, seeing the trap,
flushed and sputtered. On recovering
he answered:
Il should think not; should think
not. 1 should not properly represent
my associates If l said that"
The oil king had an unpleasant half
hour when Mr.. Kellogg probed him
about the dissolution Of the Standard

court of Ohio.
Helped Out Of the Hole.
Mr.. Rockefeller was asked repeat
eddy if the trustees had not continued
to vote the illegal trust certificates
for years after the dissolution of the
trust had been ordered.
"They did not vote my Stock" was
one of Mr.. Rockefeller's evasions.
He squirmed, lodged and ducked,
forgot and failed to recollect until his
attorney, Moritz Rosenthal, came to
his aid and admitted that some of the
outlaw trust certificates were not
turned in until 1902. Mr.. Rockefeller
promptly put the blame on the indi-
vidual holders of trust certificates.
I'VE could not force them to change
their certificates for Stock" he said.
Then, without warning, came a
sharp demand for the stock certificate
books of the Standard Oil trust. Mr..
Rockefeller promised to do what he
could to find them.
To the surprise of most of those in
the court room, Mr.. Rockefeller de-
MED the paternity of the Standard Oil
trust.

"Who got up the Standard Oil trust

out hesitation. Il am sure it was not

Even Mr.. Rockefeller's lawyers were
surprised at this declaration.

NfW IRISH BILL IN COMMONS
Necessity for Legislation Explained

London, Nov. 25. - Another Irish

The chief secretary dealt in huge
figures. He said he found that the es.

be required for this end. The COM

practically exhausted the amount real.
lied in the issues of land stock.
The secretary then said he proposed
an issue of new per cent stock in
order to carry out the pending deals.
He recognized, he continued, that he
was engaged in an expensive policy,
but he declared that the land pur.
chase had worked such marvels in
ireland that the governemnt did not
hesitate to ask the house of commons
to add materially to the burdens of the
imperial exchequer, which he pro-
posed should assume liability for the
entire loss occasioned by the issue of
the stock below par.
Chief Secretary Birrell said the
government proposed to ask for pow
er compulsorily to acquire the uncul.
tivated grazing lands of the west Of
Ireland, which had been such a bone
of contention and which had led to
such lawlessness in recent years.
