San Francisco, Cal, April 15.-
Mystery surrounds the identity of
a woman who lies in the st. Thomas
hospital in this city suffering with
a broken neck. While the physicians
in charge of the unusual case are
constant in their refusals TO dis
close her name. It is understood that
she is a woman of wealth and high
social position.
1t is known thet the patient was
taken to the hospital week ago.
A day later she was followed by an
assortment of trunks and boxes.
making it apparent that she had
come to stay for an indefinite time.
Every precaution to prevent her
identity or the nature of the acct
dent which resulted IN the broken
neck has been taken by the physi-
clans and the hospital attendants.
Drs. Il, G. Frisbie and Harry NJ.
Sherman are the surgeons who have
charge of the strange case. and who
will perform the delicate operation
that is hoped will restore the mys-
terious patient to health. Both men
are reticent regarding their charge.
In speaking of her, Or. Frisbie said:
The woman is of sensitive and
refined nature. and | am sure would
not want her misfortune made pub
lie. We must respect her wishes
now, and await her permission to
give out news of any interest evolv-
ing from the case"
The case of the mysterious patient
at the St. Thomas is one OF IA or
10 cases in the medical history OF
the nation. The recent case of Mrs.
William c. whitney, of New York,
created national attention.

He said that the only trouble Kansas
now has in enforcing her prohibition
law is caused by the interstate COM
merce laws. The States have no con-
troll over interstate commerce, hence
shipments of liquor may be made
into prohibition territory It is nee
esary to obtain from Congress some
legislative relief from this situation

Mrs. Armours suggestion of a mill
lion dollars for a temperance cam
paign is worthy of serious thought
by men with large funds at their dis
rosal. A million has recently been
given TO devise means of relief from
the hook-worm disease, but the dis
ease of alcoholism is far more wide
spread.
Mrs. Atkins, of Tennessee, describ-
Statewide suppression of the liquor
traffic in her state last year.
1t seems clear from the reports of
Southern temperance workers that
the fight against the liquor traffic is
proving a great blessing to the Chris
tian church in giving the people
something heroic to do in Gods serv-
ice. Ordinary church work does
not appeal strongly to manly young
men, but an heroic effort against or
ganized and powerful evil makes en-
hstmcnt i'm the service of the church
seem to be n thing worthy of the best
in n man.
An important change affecting
temperance work among young peo-
pie was made at this convention i'm
the consolidation of the Young
Women's Branch and the Senior
Loyal Temperance Legion. The new
organization is to be known as the
Young Peoples Branch Of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. In
1t young men and young women will
have equal rights as to ofiice-holding.
1t is expected that the change will do
much to advance temperance work
among young people. The Junior
Loyal Temperance Legion remains
unchanged in it's orgalnzation.-Mr

Findings.
The Trial Of the Case at st. Louis
I'm Which the Court Ordered the
Dissolution OF the OIL Trust is Not
Ended and Contrary Ruling May
be securedsin the Higher Federal
Courts.

by Onlted Press wire.
st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 1.-THE de-
cision OF the United States circuit
court, dissolving the oil monopoly
was today appealed to the supreme
court OF the United States by the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey and its co-defendants. An as
signment OF errors, pointing out
sixty-six alleged Irregularities in
the procedure Of the trial court and
findings OF the judges was filed in
the circuit court, and the appeal was
granted.
The bill of errors was prepared by
former Federal Judge Henry s.
Priest of st. Louis and Attorneys M
E. Elliott and Martin Carey of New
York as counsel for the Standard.
The bill first takes up errors alleged
ito have been committed during the
institution of the proceedings and
the hearing of eviden:e. They are
followed by the errors alleged to
have BEEN committed by the four
judges of the circuit court, Walter
H. Sanborne, Willis Vandenter, Will
ham G. Hook, and Elmer B. Adams,
In their findings of fact and In the
decree dissolving the alleged illegal
combinations dn the oil business AMI

sey from controlling its subsidiary

The bill alleges that the court er-
red: In compelling nonresident cor
porations and individuals to appear
in the United States circuit court in
st. Louis and plead; i'm overruling
the plea of the defendants that the
count here had no jurisdiction in the
case; in finding the nineteen cor
porations taken over by the Stand
ard dn 1899 were then competitive;
in finding that the seven individual
defendants--among whom are John
ID. and William Rockefeller, Henry
M Rogers, I'm the ten years prior 10
1879 acquired competing oil COM
panies to suppress competition.
In finding that, since 1899, the
Standard of New Jersey had pre-
vented competition, because, before
that time, there had been common
ownership of the properties and they
were not obliged to compete with
each other.
The courts finding that the ex-
change of stock of the competitive
companies, for that of the Stand
ard. had the effect of restraining
competition is combination in re-
straint of trade, are pointed out as
errors.
The court is alleged to have erred
in finding that the Standard in
Ohio, in exchanging stocks for stock
.trltN MI
create monopoly.
The court is alleged to have erred
in finding that the supreme court of
Ohio decided that the oil trust of
1882 tended to create a monopoly,
and in its further finding that after
the dissolution of the truts of 1882,
a plan was adopted to prevent the
holders of trust certificates from ac-
cepting shares of stock in the sep
arate corporations, then in the trust.
Another error is said to have been
made when the court held the Stand
ard of New Jersey acquired the own
ership of the nineteen companies in
1889 because the Standard really on
ly succeeded to the legal ownership
of q majority of the stocks.
The errors following attacked al
most every point made by the court.
1t is denied that the Standard sub
salaries were managed by the COM
panies, but declared they were sep
arately managed; that the six mar
keting companies weer controlled by
the holding companies; that the
Standard has acquired command
ing share of the oil trade by "a means
of a trust.
1t is alleged tn ecourt\ erred in
finding that an exchange of stocks
for an interest in a single corpora
ton is illegal; that corporations are
legal entities distinct from stock
holders; that the act of congress Gre
ates other than actual competition
which 1t designates natural competi-
ton; that natural competition in the

oil business is suppressed; that the
transfer of stocks by subsidiary COM
panies to holding companies have
power to prevent competition, aud
that he transfer of stocks vested con-
troll of the so-callyd competitive
companies.
The court is declared wrong In
finding that the vesting of a MAJOR
1t yof stocks in the Standard of New
Jersey was a violation of the law;
then follow number of points re-
iterating the stock transfer did not
give the Standard power ot suppress
competition and that 1t was not IL
legal. Each clause of the injunc-
tion breaking UP the trust is at
tackled as in error.
