CASE Is ONE OF MOST MEMORABLE IN HISTORY
OF JURISPRUDENCE HEARINGS HAVE
BEEN HELD NEARLY TWO YEARS
Complaint Alleged Conspiracy in Restraint of Trade
Suit Begun by Deputy Attorney General Kellogg
At Instance of Roosevelt.

Standard oil company of New Jersey
was formed. A stubborn fight, the
government charges, was begun imme-
diately by the Standard. The power of
the government to subpoena in
dividuals outside of st. Louis district
of the federal court and to compel them
to answer to the charges, was at first
denied. The contention was argued and
at length overruled. The defendants
hen filed answers to the governments
allegations, and the case was set. for
trial. Judge Ferriss appointed a spe-
cial examiner, and for nearly two
years he held hearings in the principal
cities Of the country. The evidence,
when complete, was printed and for
warded to ST. Louis, containing II
volumes, and more than $4,000 pages.
1t was argued April 5, before the full
circuit court bench here. The defense
of the corporation was that the pres
ent organization of the Standard is the
result of the natural growth of a great
industry and that no statute has been
violated.

WASHINTON, Nov. 20.-The state
department has received a cablegram
from the American consul at Managua
confirming the report that Grace and
Cannon were executed by orders OF
Zelaya. 1t appears Ze1aya ordered the
execution over the protest of his COM
mander-in chief and minister general.
According to the message the Mica
raguan government admits the execu-
ton occurred. The officials justify the
act by the declaration that Grace and
Cannon conferred they were laying
mines in the San Juan river for the
purpose of blowing up the steamers
carrying government troops.

Larrabee was made this morning
about 11:30 by Deputy Painter and he
was at once lodged in the county Jail
The trick was a simple one, but
has moreover proved easy game for
many railway employees. 1t requires
the cooperation of both a ticket agent
and conductor and these are said TO
have been found in the persons of
Larrabee and Young. Larrabee, it is
said, would sell a fare and these
would later be taken up by Young.
Instead of punching them with the
regulation mark, it is alleged, he
would place them in his pocket and
return them to the agent unmarked,

ST. LOUIS, Nov 2O-The govern
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
with 100000 capital. The case
was brought by the direction of Roose-
welt by Deputy Attorney General Kel-
logg. The oil company is delivered a
severe blow. The government is sus-
tanned in nearly every point. The only
exceptions are made in favor of minor
subsidiary companies named as de-
PENDANTS. These, it is held, are not
clearly shown to be dominated by the
trust Orders of the court in regard to
the Standard do not take effect for 80
days. The decision was announced
from the United States circuit court
by Judge Elmer B. Adams today.
The case is one of the most memo
rable in the records of Jurisprudence.
The hearings extended in various
forms for nearly two years, and the
testimony taken in great number of
cities, notable New York, Washington
and Chicago. In New York high Off
cials of the Standard, including Rock
efeller, were called to the stand.
The government charged the Stand
ard with monopoly in restraint of
trade and introduced voluminous evil
dence regarding the methods of the
Standard Oil company in dealing with
competitors.
Suit was filed in the United States
circuit court in st. Louis in 1906, by di-
rection of the attorney general. The
action was one in equity brought un-
der the provisions of the Sherman an
Ii trust laws. Controlled through the
Standard in New Jersey, more than a
hundred corporations are engaged in
refining and marketing oil This is
characterized as conspiracy in re-
straint of trade.
The government asked a permanent
Injunction restraining the Standard
from continuing the control of the
corporations, and from re-
organizing in such manner that the
alleged conspiracy will be perpetuated.
An appeal can be taken to the su-
preme court, which it is expected the
Standard will do.
Early in 1887, Rockefeller and Flag
Ter, it is alleged, entered into a con-
spiracy to control the oil trade. They
pooled their business and organized the
Standard Oil company with a capital
stock of one million.
Through their alleged ability to Sc
c,,re preferential rates of the rail-
roads. and by alleged unfair trade
methods. they were enabled, according
to the government to drive to the wall
and absorb most of the Independent
couonanies. The trust that exists today
was not organized, according to the
conn,aint. until 1899, when the
