S A DARD OIL DECISION
President Taft SAID to Regard II a.
Of the Highest Importance.

: Washington, Nov. 90. - President
Taft does not contemplate, it is as
serted upon high authority, such rad
ical changes in the Sherman anti.
trust law as some of his advisers
have insisted were necessary and he
himself was believed to have favored.
Mr.. Taft has been pleased greatly with
the decision of the United States cir
cult court for the district of Missouri
in the injunction proceedings against
the Standard Oil company.
He has told callers that he regards
the decision Of the utmost importance.
Although ne is able to read only the
newspaper accounts Of Judge San
borns findings, the president has said
he believed that through it the Sher-
man act will be found to be much more
efficacious than its critics have been
willing to concede.
Ever since his return from his 10000
mile trip the president has boen talk
ing Sherman law amendment to visi-
tors conversant with the subject. AL
though today he continued to refer to
the Sherman act he told several call
ers that the Standard Oil decision has
made a most favorable impression on
him.
1t is likely that MIR. Taft Will refer
to this decision in his annual message
to congress, although before the por-
ton of the message which will deal
with that law is framed finally he will
confer with congressional authorities
on antitrust legislation, Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham and other advisers.
Just now Mr., Tart thinks that this de-
cision shows what may be done under
the Sherman act and he will be disin-
clined to change it unless upon read
ing the finding in full he discovers
that he is wrong in his view.

DECLINE IN BlRTH-RATE
theoretically, There viii Be No Births
In 150 Years II Present Ratio
Continues.

II the present decline in the birth
rate should continue for a century
and half there would be no more
births at that time, said Professor
Walter F. Wilcox. the Cornell statisti
clan, in lecture at Ithaca. AS no
one believes that mankind will become
immortal however, no one believes
that births will stop. He warned
against the volitional control of the
births by the better classes. He
said:
There has been an increase Of per
haps five hundred million in the
earth's population since 1850. This in
crease was not due to an increased
birth-rate but rather to the decreased
death-rate, secured bv the progress
Of science and Of government. Under
earlier conditions famine, pestilence
or war killed many persons and at
the same time prevented many births.
During the last half century this
reciprocal relation has given place to
n decrease in both death-rates and
birth-rates. The decline of the birth.
rate in the United States has probably
been as rapid as in any country Of
Europe. This sharp decrease was nee.
essary in order to grip firmly and re.
tain the benefits secured by the de.
cline in the death-rate.
'It is not the decreased birth-rate
that is disturbing but rather the fact
that the decrease is greater among the
classes whose children would prob.
ably inherit most social worth and ca.
pacity for leadership Thus, figures
from Harvard college indicate that
each 100 graduates produce in the
next generation only 73 sons. The ma
tive American population, at least in
New England and New York, loses
more by death than 1t gains by
births"

USE OF OXYGEN HELMETS
Aided Greatly In Rescue Of the En-,
tombed Cherry Miners.


1t is believed by government Off
cials at Washington that the 21
miners who were saved from death in
the St. Paul coal mine at Cherry, Ill.,,
owe their lives to the work of the gov.
ernment's rescue corps connected with
the United States geological survey.
These men, who are stationed at
Pttsburg, where the survey has an ex-
pertinent station for investigating
causes of mine disasters, were rushed
to Cherry as soon as word was re-
ceived of the catastrophe.
Each member of the corps had been
trained in the use of what is known
as the oxygen helmet, an apparatus
that permits artificial breathing in the
presence of deadly gases. Equipped
with such helmets, the governments
life savers were able to enter the
shaft of the burning mine and fight
the fire at close range.
officials said that had the methods
that have been in use in the past been
employed there the mine shaft would
have been sealed until the fire had
been smothered for want of oxygen.
This of course would have meant a
delay sufficient to have caused the
death of every man under ground.
Geological survey officials said that
the ability of the government rescue
corps to enter the mine, filled as it
was with smoke and gas, saved at
least several days time in reaching the
entombed men.
