Standard viii Not Try to
Amend Sherman Law.
Counsel Doesn't Fear Forced
Liquidation Of Securities.
Adverse Decision Caused Big Cop.
per Merger 10 Be Held Up.

New York, Nov. 23.-Reports, ru-
rnors and legal prophecies to the con-
trary, the Standard Oil Co. announced
authorativeIy today that it had no IN
tention of seeking to procure an
amendment to the Sherman antitrust
law. but VIII proceed with the appeal
to the United states supreme court
from the decree of the United States
circuit court at St. Paul. Until the SUI
preme court has rendered a decision,
the company will consider no other
method # doing business than that
now in force.
Mortimer F. Elliott, chief counsel, is
authority for the foregoing. He dis
cusse,i the case with a representative
Of The Associated Press today after a
conference with William G. Rockefel-
Ter and John D. Arcnibold
ut seems highly improbable to me
that there ever will be foreign hold
ing company organized, as you tell me
has been suggested" said Mr.. Elliott.
THE compleXity of control exercised
by the several states sets too many
difficulties in the way.
such comment on the case as ]
have seen misses the fact that the
Standard Oil co. is not holding COM
pany pure ard simple as was the
Northern Securities Co. For instance,
it owns outright at Bayonne, n. j., the
largest refinery in the world. There is
nothing in the decree to prevent the
company from continuing to do bust
ness, although ! admit that it makes
doing business more cumbersome.
"Although the decree enjoinS the
Standard Oil Co. from voting its share
holdings in subsidiary companies or re-
ccivIng dividends from them, there Is
no reason why the individual holders
among when such shares woulG be d.
viIed undor the decree should not elect
their own officers in the subsidiary
companies and receive their own divi-
dends from those companies. A proxy
system among our 5000 shareholders
would certainly be no moro unman.
ageable than the same system as now
used by railroad and industrial COM
panies with say 10000 shareholders.
In brief there is no cause for the
market to fear a forged liquidation OF
the securities the Standard Oil Co. now
holds. | disagree with the gentlemen
who think Redistribution is neces.
sary, other than of the sort | outlined
in my first statement"
Mr.. Elliott in that statement said
he understood the court to order that
tie Standard Oil holdings in subsidiary
companies be apportione1 among
Standard Oil shareholders in ratio TO
their holdings in the parent com oany.
An executive officer Of the company
said today that no alarm was felt over
the possibility of a criminal prosecu-
ton under Section II Of the Sherman
act, should the present decree in equity
be upheld in the supreme court.

HALF MONTHS PAY
STILL BOTTLED UP

Applicants at the offices of the City
and County Auditor AM at the Urea
surers Office are finding again today
that they cannot yet draw money 10
which they claim to be entitled for
labor given the Municipality for the
half month between March first and
fifteenth.
Inquiry shows that the payrolls for
the. period mentioned, the latter sec
ton of that period during which there
occurred the celebrated contest be-
tween Mayor and Supervisors over APP
pointments, are held up because of
uncertainty as to the virtue of two or
three individual claims.
The Auditor has sent the lists to
the Mayor for approval, but the Ma
yor and the Treasurer and the Au-
ditor have still an understanding 10
reach as to the validity of few in
dividual claims, the question being
what proportion of certain work was
done by one claimant where another
claimant has a parallel claim.

PROCURERS
BRECKONS CONDUCTING A VIGO-
ROUS CRUSADE AGAINST THE
SOCIAL PARASITES OF IWILEI.

United States Commissioner George
A. Davis this morning committed a
Japanese woman to the grand Jury for
violation of the moral statutes.
District Attorney Breckons this
morning had three warrants issued for
Iwilei pimps. He is conducting vi
gorous crusade against this class OF
social parasites.
Some Of the things divulged in the
investigations of the District Attorney
are as sensational as the revelations
of the Ten Dollar Club few years
ago For instance the unfortunate
women have been compelled to keep
books of account for their masters to
ensure that these will receive the ut
most farthing of unholy tribute.
The number of such parasites batten-
ing on the wages or immortality here
is startling. Between those already
under indictment and those commit
ted there are about fifty men booked
to appear before the bar of justice
Perhaps a score of women are await
ing further proceedings against them
for immoral acts. While the victims
of the procurers and maintainers are
held in $3.50 bail Commissioner Davis
on the advice of the District Attorney
holds the brown slave masters in the
penal sum of $4,000 where the cases
are clear and $4,000 where the evidence
is less conclusive.
