Standards Technical Expert viii
Make Plain Statements, Claim
Ing Oil Combination is
Legitimate Enterprise.
MUST NOT DRAW A LINE
n Standard is Guilty Of Criminal Con-
spiracy, Every Commercial En-
terprise Must be Placed
in Same Catalogue.

ST. LOUIS, April S.-John G. Mil
burn, resumed speaking, in the Stand
ard dissolution case this morning and
will speak until noon. He will be fol-
lowed by Moritz Rosenthal, of Chica-
90, who is regarded as the Standards
technical expert. Rosenthal's argu-
ment will be one of mixed facts of law
He will outline facts which in his view
iii justify everything done by the
Standard, and will apply his construc-
ton of the law He will claim the oil
combination is a legitimate enterprise.
If the Standard is guilty of criminal
conspiracy against interests of the
public, he will insist that every com
mercial enterprise be put to the same
category Rosenthal and associates
have evolved this legal proposition
although the corporation grows so ex-
tensiye as to control business in its
entirely, its magnitude doesn't make
1t monopoly"

Neglect and Cruelty.

I'VE further find that there have
been many instances of neglect and
cruelty by the attendants in charge;
such for example as the use Of harsh
and profane language towards pa
tients, in some instances the inmates
are kicked, struck and cboked; some
were thrown upon the floor and towels,
saturated With soap and water were
applied to the nostrils and mouth I'M
til the patient was rendered uncon-
scious; the patients generally were
compelled to render the most mcnial
services.
I'VE find that whenever notices of
these abuses have been brought to the
knowledge of the several superintend
ents that the attendants in fault have
been discharged, and in one institution
we find that persons guilty of infrac-
ton of the rules, when discharged had
a deduction made from the wages due
them, and we believe that most of
these abuses have escaped the knowl-
edge of the superintendents and the
members of the board of control.
There appears to be among the at
tendants at these different institutions
some agreement or understanding
tacit or otherwise, whereby as long as
they remain employees of the institu
tion, they neglect to report the mis-
conduct of their fellows.

A Free Country.

This is a free country. When the
people are oppressed they make a
noise that rumbles around the world.
american people don't wait to be hurt,
they cry before they are hurt. Prof
its OF the pipe lines, according to Mil
purh, are paper profits only The
rates of transportation of oil through
.ae lines, he said, are made high, 50
nigh that other concerns could not
anord to send Il that way. Rates are
nied as required by the rate law, that
the pipe lines are common carriers.
no one ever complained of the rates
and proper place to make such com
pants, said Milburn, is before the
interstate commerce commission.

MIburn Warns Up.
ST. LOUIS, April 8.-The counsel
for both the government and the
Standard informed the court today
tnat their argument would be COM
pleted Saturday evening. The coun-
sci for the Standard promised to COM
plete their. argument Friday, leaving
the government Saturday for rebuttal.
Milburn, during the morning had much
to say about the law of supply and
demand. This, he declared. and not
wicked conspiracy has been the
cause of the growth of the Standard.
He declared "it is absurd to S. thai
by its pipe lines the Standard forces
the producers to sell crude oil at its
prices or arbitrarily decides what
PRICE the consumer must pa.
The supply and demand, not monop-
ostic dictation relates prices. If we
are monopoly and fixed prices, the
man who sinks a well and produces
oil would be here to tell you about
monorolistic methods. The thread
nat runs through this case is that we
practice oppression.

The Committees Report.

From the inquiry we have made,
and from the evidence taken by us, 1t
is evident that abuses exist in the
government and discipline of the in
stitutions at Mt Pleasant. ClariIda
and Independence. The evidence dis
closes that in many instances the
force of attendants is inadequate to
meet the demands that are made upon
them; that there is not sufficient
number of attendants to properly at
tend to the wants of the patients un-
der their care. In some instances we
found that from 127 to 140 patients
were consigned to the care of a single
attendant during the night time, and
of this number portion We're sick and
required almost constant attention; the
number of persons under the care of
such attendant rendered it impossible
for those who were i'll to receive such
care as their condition demanded.
