STANDARD OIL NOT HURT.
Attorney Says Court Merely Orders
Distribution of Stock.

New York, Nov. 23.-Mortimer F.
Elliott, general counsel for the Stand
ard Oil company, said today, in com
menting for the first time on the de-
cisions against the company handed
down by the United States circuit court
at st. Paul:
81 have seen what purports to be
the text of the decision handed down
by the United States circuit court Sat
urday. The company will take an ap-
peal at once to the United States su-
preme court and will cheerfully abide
by the verdict of the highest court in
the land, whatever that may be.
Arguments in this case began last
April, and we are glad to have reached
an opinion. l do not mean that we are
pleased with the opinion itself, but we
are glad to get it, whatever its ma
ture.
''The decree does not order a disso-
luton of the Standard Oil company
that is a misunderstanding. What the
decree orders, as now understand it,
is that the company shall distribute
among its stockholders, of whom there
are approximately 5000, its holdings in
stock of subsidiary companies. This
distribution, further understand, is
ordered to be effected on a pro-rata
basis of apportionment.

CANAL HALF DONE:
COST DOUBLES
IslhmIan Commission Reports on Big
Panama Project.
Original Estimate Was Si44, 233. 1853
Now Looks Like 1915, POI, 900
Wages and Cost of Material In
crease Greatly 1899 Men Are
Now Employed.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 23.-With
the Panama canal virtually half fin
ished, the members of the Isthmian
Canal commission awaken to the fact
that this waterway will cost more than
twice the amount of the original esti-
mate. In other words, it is now esti-
mated that the canal, when finished
and opened to traffic, will represent a
total expenditure of 1915, POI 600 When
the canal project was adopted it was
estimated to cost only $144, 233 1853.
Chairman Tawney, of the house com
mittee on appropriations, on his arrival
at Panama with his committee, talked
of pairing down the estimates of the
commission and reducing the cost of
construction. 1t is not seriously thought,
however, that anything worthy of note
could be accomplished in this direction
Rather, the impression prevails that
when the last dollar has been spent,
the cost of the canal will be found to
| exceed rather than run under the lat
est estimate of 1915, 100000. In its an
nual report, made public today, the
Isthmian Canal commission discusses
this question of cost, saying:
"Wages have increased, and the cost
of materials and manufactured articles
has risen. Prosperous conditions in the
United States, combined with the un-
sayory reputation that the isthmus had
regarding its healthfulness, made it
necessary to secure labor to increase
the wage scales from 30 to so per cent
over those paid in the United States
for similar classes of work. Certain
gratuities as additional inducements
were also offered, which in the main
have since been continued. Moreover,
the provisions of the eighthour law
were made applicable to the isthmus.
The unit prices were therefore ma
terially increased. Various changes
have also been made in the adopted
plan, increasing the quantity of work
to be done. In addition, more detailed
surveys and plans than were originally
available have been made, and the
work has progressed sufficiently to give
reliable data relative to unit costs.
Nearly so per cent more work is
necessary to complete the canal than
was contemplated by the original esti
mate and the unit prices, due to labor
conditions, cost of materials, and gra
tuities given the employees, have beer
increased about 20 per cent. The esti
mate, as prepared, shows that the tota
cost of engineering and construction
alone sums up to 1921, 100000, to which
if the purchase price and the estimated
cost of sanitation and civil government
be added, there results the sum Of
1915, 100000 as the total cost of tn,
canal.

officers just promoted to be captains on

the mails sample boxes of pills. These
were accompanied by circular relat-

dos took some of the pills and died
almost instantly. An autopsy revealed
the presence of cyanide of potassium.
A further investigation showed that all
the pills contained cyanide of potass-
ium in large quantities and also that
many first Ieutenants attached to the
staff, but not promoted, had not re-
eeived pills.

STANDARD OIL KNOCKED OUT
Dissolution Ordered by Federal Court
Evasion Prohibited.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov 23.-In an
opinion written by Judge Walter H.
Sanborn of st. Paul, and coneurred in
by Judges Vandeventer, Hook and
Adams, with special concurring
opinion by Judge Hook, the United
States circuit court for the eastern dis
triet of Missouri today handed down
an opinion declaring the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey an illegal com
bination operating in restraint of trade
and ordered its dissolution.
TAe opinion was filed simultaneously
in st. Louis and in st. Paul.
In this decision the government of
the United States gains a sweeping
victory. According to Frank B. KEEL
logg, special prosecutor, the govern
ment has won every point for which
it commended.
The decree filed by Judge Sanborn
is comprehensive and enjoins the
Standard company, its directors, Off
GERS, agents, servants and employees
from voting any stock in any of the
subsidiary companies, and from exer-
cising or attempting to exercise any
control over the acts of these subsidiary
companies.
The subsidiary companies are en-
joined from declaring or paying any
dividends to the Standard company and
from permitting the latter company to
vote any stock in, or direct the policy
of the subsidiary companies.
But the defendants are not prohib-
tied from distributing rateably to the
shareholders of the principal company
the shares to which they are equitably
entitled in the stocks of the defendant
corporations that are parties to the
| combination.
The defendants are enjoined from
continuing or carrying into further eff
feet the combination adjudged to be il
legal and from entering into any like
combination, the effect of which is to
restrain commerce in petroleum or to
prolong the unlawful monopoly.
| The case will be appealed direct tc
the supreme court of the United States
the judges who signed the decree are
in effect the judges of the United
States circuit court of appeals, although
they were sitting for the purpose OF
trying this case as the circuit court
for the eastern district of Missouri
The decree becomes effective in sc
days, when no doubt a stay will be
granted for the purpose of an appeal
When the decree takes effect, unles.
a stay is granted, an injunction will
issue restraining the Standard Oil com
pany from a further continuance OF
its business under its present forma
ton.
1t appears from the concurring opin
ion written by Judge Hook that tn,
company cannot do business under any
other form with the object of sitting
competition. He says on this subjec
that it is thought that with the enc
Of the combination the monopoly will
naturally disappear, but should it no
do so and the members of the combina
tion retire from it, except one VIII
might perpetuate the monopoly by tn
aggregation of the physical propertie
and instrumentalities it would eonsti
tute a violation of the decree of tn
court.
In the trial the point was made tina
the Standard Oil company was a ber
Efficient corporation in that it, by rea
son of economy in operation, reduce
the price Of its product. This, Judg
Hook holds, can have no weight.
