THE OF DECISION.
One Of the most important court de

cisions in several decades was that
handed down by the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Eighth
district last Saturday, in which it was
held that the gigantic Standard Oil
octopus is an illegal corporation and
must be dissolved. The decision was
fled simultaneously in St. Paul and
st. Louis and was concurred in by all
four judges Walter b. Sanborn of
st. Paul, Willis Van Deventer of
Cheyenne, William G. Hook of
Leavenworth and Elmer B. Adams of
St. Louis.
The suit was commenced three years
ago at the instance of President
Roosevelt and by direction of the at
torney general of the United States.
Frank B. Kellogg of ST. Paul and
Charles B. Morrison of Chicago were
employed as special counsel, and with
them were associated the attorney
general, G. o. Severance, J. HARDWOOD
Graves and Guy Chase. The
Standard Oil company employed an
army of counsel and bitterly contested
every step in the proceedings. Mr..
Kellogg was the leading counsel for
the government and the brunt of the
battle was borne by him and he made
a gallant fight In the hearing at
New York John D. Rockefeller was
on the witness stand for three days
and was numerically grilled by Mr..
Kellogg. In his closing argument
reviewing the evidence Mr.. Kellogg
consumed two days and all agree that
it was a logical and mastery pre-
sentation of facts alleged by the
government. The decision is sweep
ing one and the defendants are en-
joined and prohibited, until the dis
continuance of the operation of the
illegal combination, from engaging
or continuing in commerce among the
states, or in the territories of the
United States.
Thirty days are allowed in which an
appeal can be taken to the supreme
court of the United States, and of
course the defendants will appeal. It
is hardly probable, however, that the
higher court will reverse the deliberate
and unanimous decision of the circuit
court of appeals; the chances are that
the lower court will be sustained.
It is especially gratifying to Min
nesotans that one of their fellow
citizens, Mr.. Frank B. Kellogg, was
the senior counsel for the government
in this momentous case, and it was
largely through his untiring labor
and splendid legal abilities that the
battle was won. Mr.. Kellogg proved
more than a match for the ablest of
the army of frst-class lawyers en-
ployed by the Standard Oil corpora

Duty Reduced Instead of Increased.
A Minneapolis daily paper pub
lished an interview with Canadian
lumberman this week, in which the
lumberman was made to say that the
new tariff bill raises the duty on
finished lumber. The Canadian
lumberman, or the reporter who inter-
viewed him, was in error. The duty
on finished lumber is reduced all the
way from seventy-fve cents a

TWICKENHAM.

Famous as the Abode of Many
English Literary Giants.
The place to which the lover of Eng
lish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast of having been
the residence and beloved abode of so
many famous literary lights. With it
are associated the immortal names Of
Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Gay,
Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Bos-
well, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens,
Surely this is enough to make any
place doubiy immortal! Twickenham
was well nicknamed by Horace Wax
pole the Baiae, or Tivoli, Of England.
for it has truly been to London what
Baiae was to ancient Rome-indeed, in
far higher degree. The big red brick
house in Montpelier road where Alfred
Tennyson lived for SO many years of
his earlier married life was the one In
which many of his earlier poems were
written. There his son Lionel the sec
ond Lord Tennyson, was born, and
there the author of "Idylls" entertained
many Of his literary friends and ac-
quaintances. That house should surely
be sacred to all lovers Of English lit.

RARE OPERATION ON LIoNEss.

Twenty-Five Pound TumOr Cut Out
of Her Chest by Surgeons.
Julia, the huge noness, whose roars
and savage appearance have delighted
thousands of patrons Of the Cincinnati
geological gardens, Is no more, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. She died yester-
day morning and was probably the first
wild beast Of the jungle that under
went an operation Of serious nature
similar to that often performed on hui
man beings.
The operating physicians say she
would have undoubtedly recovered but
for her age, II years. Julia was a suf-
ferer from numerous growth, twenty
five pounds in weight, which had start
ed in her chest and would soon have
killed her. Drs. Norton Dock J. Planz
and Theodore Bange were called in
and undertook to perform the opera
ton. which was extremely hazardous
to the physicians themselves.
An apparatus was rugged up that,
by series Of moves, gradually inclosed
the snarling beast until she couldn't
turn round. She fought against the
approach of the surgeons with such
wildness that steel prongs had to be
used to prod her into even half-submis-
siveness. Several Of the attendants had
narrow escapes from being struck by
the great paws. Finally iron bars were
worked through several holes drilled
In the box and Julia roared in a ter
rifying manner while she was being
pinned down. Ether was then admin
istered and the beast sunk down under
the paralyzing effects.
However, while the surgeons were
working on her she revived sufficiently
to cause some alarm, but each time she
was given more Of the anesthetic. The
doctors worked entirely with their
hands after reaching the tumor and
the operation took about a half hour
After the operation had been performed
the lioness revived and was given the
freedom of her cage again. She walk
ed around for time, but finally
sought dark corner. In a short time
she died. The body will be stuffed and
may be presented to the university mn

INSANE SAILOR
HERO OF WRECK
Decisions Reappear Soon After Ex-
citement Attending Loss of
cannery Ship Off the
Shore of Alaska

SEATTLE, June 2.-On the steamer
Northwestern, which arrived here to-
day, were 1913 survivors of the wrecked
cannery ship Columbia, which ground
ed near Unimak pass April 30. They
were picked up by the Northwestern
at Seward, Alaska, where they had
been landed by the mail steamer Dora,
which effected the rescue.
Many of the survivors have not yet
recovered from the effects of their har-
rowing experiences. Captain j. IL.
Cameron is able to get about only with
the aid of crutches, and many 'mem-
hers of his crew require bands and
sings.
A freak Of the shipwreck developed
with the conduct of j. e. Jensen, one
of the Columbia's crew. Within rev
hours after sailing from San Francisco
the man displayed such pronounced
symptoms of being insane that ne was
placed in confinement.
With the stranding of the snip ne
was released for the first time In many
DAVIS. and after his vagaries had pc
come pronounced to the point OF tren-
zied violence. No sooner were the dam
GERS of shipwreck apparent and his re-
lease obtained, than he jumped to the
assistance of the rescuers with Vlgor
and intelligence that made MN one Oh
the most valuable workers. with the
abatement of the immediate dangers,
six DAYS later, his decisions again APP
reared and aboard the Dora he was
placed in confinement.
