STANDARD o.L COMPANY WOULD HAVE SHERMAN ANtrTRusT
 LAW AMENDED.
Copper Trust Is for Short Time Pre-. vented from combinlng--Lawycrs Declare 1t Would be an tn
 wise Combination.

New York. Nov 23.-Reports. Rum ors and Legal Prophesies to the con- trary the Standard Oil Company an nounced authoritatiyely that 1t had no intention of seeking to procure an amendment to the sherman antitrust law, but will proceed with the appeal to the United States supreme court, which was already announced through Mortimer F. Elliott. it's general solic- itor, is to be taken from the decree of the United States circuit court at St. Paul. Until the supreme court has rendered a decision, the company will consider no other plan of doing business than the methods now in use.
 Mir. Elliott is authority for the foress going. He discussed the case with representative of the Associated Press at the Standard Oil Building, 26 Broadway, this afternoon, after a con- ference with William C. Rockefeller and J. D. Archbold.
 Tt seems highly improbable to me that there will be foreign holding company organized, as you tell me has been suggested. said Mir. Elliott, t'the cofnplexity of control in several states sets too many difficulties in the way.
 Such comment on uhe case as I have seen misses the fact that the Standard oil Company Is not a hold ing company pure and simple. as was the Northern Securities Company. For instance. 1t 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 business, although ] admit that it makes doing business more cumbor- some.
 Although the decree enjoins the Standard Oil Company from voting it's share holdings in subsidiary conpan ies or receiving dividends from them, there is DO reason why the individual
 
 holders among whom such shares would be divided under the decree, should not elect their own officers in the subsidiary companies and receive their own dividends from those com Ipanies. A proxy system among our 5000 share holders would certainly be no more unanlanageable than the same system as now used by railroad and industrial companies, with. say. 5o000 shareholders.
 Tn brief. there is no cause for the msrket to fear forced liquidation of the securities the Standard Oil Com pany now holis. disagree with the gentleman who thinks redistribution is necessary. other than Of the sort outlined in my first statement. ' MT. Elliott in that statement said he understood the court to order that the Standard Oil holdings In subsidi- ary companies be apportioued among and around oil share holders in ratio to their holdings in the parent com. pany.

A Loss to the Country.

Washington, Nov. 23.--In MT. De Armond the Democrats lose one of their leaders On the floor of the house. A member of that body for the past nineteen years and man of education, wide experience and fluent speech, he had become one of the principal resources of his party in all discussions of national questions. He made speciality of labor subject. but was never at a loss in handling almost any question
 AIr. DeArmond had been on the bench before coming to congress and he naturally gave much attention to judiciai subjects. He was member of the committee on judiciary at the time of his death and had held that position for many years.

DE ARMOND
 LOSES LIFE WAS BURNED TO DEATH IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIS
 GRANDSON. Bodies were Found With the Grand son Folded in the Arms of Ills Grandfathef-vwss a Great
 Loss. to Country.

Kansas City, Mo. Nov 2S.-ft was ill vain effort to save the life of his little grandson that Congressman David A. DeArmond, of the sixth Mis-. souri district, perished in a fire that destroyed his home in Butler, Mo, early today.
 The heroism of the congressman was made known late this afternoon when, with his arms locked around the blackened and burned body of the little boy, the congressmans body was found. He had caught up the 6year- old lad, David A. DeArmond, Jr., and rushed with him through the leap. ing flames that filled their room. The congressman fell with his unconscious burden and both sank through the floor to quick death.
 What makes the tragedy unusually pathetic is the fact that the grand son was the grandfaiher's idol The two often slept together Last night the boy went to his grandfather's Elhouse, and after happy evening the two retired.
 The next the family heard of them was eaIay today. when. from behind the smoke and flames that enveloped the house, the boy screamed "Oh, grandpa, get me out of here, I'm burning to deathlp
 Yes, son; iont be afraid: grand. pa'll take you out" was the calm re- ply. Then both went down to their death.
 The remainder of the family sleep ing in the house at the time of the fire-Mrs. DeArmond, her daughter, Mrs. Clarke, and Nettie Bolesfi scr. want, were greatly shaken by their experiences.
 Messages of condolence from all parts of the country were received by the DeArmonds this afternoon. James A. DeArmonds editor of the Bates County Democrat. who is a son of the congressman and the father of the boy, who was burned, tried to rush into the burning house to save the victims. He was prevented from doing so by friends, who knew the eff. fort would be in vain
 Congressman De Armond and his little grandson win not be separatel in death. Tonight 1t was decided to hold a double funeral for them Fri day afternoon. lnterment will be in the Oakhill Cemetery, at Butler. Mo. Word was received from Washing ton tonight that congressional com mittee had been appointed to attend the funeral. Among the messages of condolences received was one from 1 Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. 1 From Washington President Taft sent the following message to Mrs, DeArmond:
 Mrs. Taft and are shocked to hear the dreadful news. We sympathize most deeply with you in your sorrow
 Your husband and l were very inti
 mate. valued his friendship most highly. He was an honest, able ser want of the public and a patriot. My heart goes out to you in your loss

BANKER MORSE
 GETS NEW TRIAL
LiTTLEToN WINS ANOTHER viC- TORY IN FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
 OF ICE KING.

 The petition of Martin W. ittleton, counsel for Morse, seeking an amend ment to the mandate of the United States court of appeals, whiah affirm cd his convection by the United otates circuit court, was granted in | q scis- ion handed down late this afternoon. giving him the right to apply 10 the lower court for new trial.
 In conceding the amendment to it's mandate. however the court of ap. peais notes that the decision is not to be taken as indicative that the cir cult court must entertain motion for new trial. The simple right to ap- ply therefor is granted.
 Mir. Littleton's efforts to obtain a new trial have been based on charges of irregularity in the conduct of the jury which found Morse guilty 9n No yember 5, 1908. It is alleged that certain of the jurymen were under the influence of liquor and that the en- tire jury was in charge of inprupes guardians. six of whom were former secret service men from Washlngsoi

Previous 10 the present congress, he also was a member of the commit tee on rules, but the selection of his colleague, Champ Clark, as minority leader, rendered it necessary to place MT. Clark on that committee. which had the effect of displacing MT. De- Armond, ais two could not be appointed from the same state.
 While Mr. DeArmond will long be remembered for his brilliant oratory, especially for his power of sarcasm and capacity for invectiye, ne also will long be known On account of his qual ities as a party fighter. Inclined to be pugnacious, he often pleaded sub jects as an aggressor rather than as a defendant This quality of mind was the means of getting him into personal atercation two years ago with John S. Williams, who was then the Democratic leader of the house.
 The difference between iinem arose over MT. Williams designation of a Missouri colleague of Mr DeArmond's for composition in the organization of the sixtieth congress. They came to blows, but both being lightweights, neither was badly hurt.
 Mr DeArmond was an aspirant for the leadership of the house, but the recognition of Mr. Clark effectually cut him out of that position.
