Washington Jan. 4.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
MED the petition Of the government
for writ of certirori in the $4,000
600 fine case of the Standard Oil com
pany.
The effect of the decision leaves
standing the decision of the court OF
appeals, which was adverse to the
government and favorable to the
Standard Oil company. In the SUI
preme court the case turned largely
upon the right of the court to inter-
fere in view of the fact that the case
had been passed upon by the court OF
appeals. The action of the court con-
sisted in the announcement that the
governments petition was denied

From Famous Auther.

pose the location of this school in any
other city in America except Santa Fe
and Los Angeles-for the simple rea-
son that in everything that relates to
history, science and business there are
vital reasons why one of these two
cities should be chosen.
Santa Fe will get the best bargain
it ever had if it carries out the re-
quests of the School of American
Archaeology as presented by Hewett.
The territory never spent $4,000 to so
much advantage among scholars all
over the world as it can spend in this
instance. 1t will be the best argu-
ment the territory can advance for in
dependent statehood. If you can get
the Old Palace into the hands of the
board of managers, it will mean some
thing real and alive for the whole ter
ritory. Your appropriations will be
paid back ten-fold in attracting the
right kind of people and commanding
the right kind of interest all over the
world. This has been five-year cam
paign to bring about intelligent Co
operation between the government
the universities. museums and scien-
tific bodies of this country. We have
at last got it in shape. The work is
being done for science; but the local
advantage can be secured by Santa Fe
100000 in this line. 1t would insist
cured for New Mexico in any other
way. The American school will be To-
Gated either in Santa Fe or in Los
Angeles. We are willing to say latter
you This city is big and rich and
will have other functions of this scien
tific work to attend to-; it can afford
to be generous to Santa Fe in this
matter because of certain scientific ad
vantages that would accrue tc the
work.
