Respects to ArchboId.

John d. Archbold is one of the men
to whom Kellogg paid his respects in
the argument. Archbold was one of
the first who felt the iron hand of the
Standard. Years before he became
the mouthpiece for the Standard. he
was it's bitter enemy. In days when
public sentiment defeated the project
of the Improvement Company to per-
feet monopoly of the oil business.
Archbold led the opposition.
There was nothing spectacular
about the governments fight against
the oil trust when the case called for
final hearing today. A hundred law.
yers crowded into the dingy court
room. The court filed in and took it's
place and proceedings were under
way with the promptness of a police
court trial. Frank b. kellogg did the
most talking. He led the governments
force of lawyers quickly and incssivelv
answering questions of the court con-
corning the plans OF the ATTORNEYS.
The interest of the general public is
very small. Three spectators were
present, aside from newspaper men
and attorneys.
Statement Of Defense.
ST. LOUIS. April 5.-Moritz Rosen-
thai and other attorneys of the Stand.
ard OH company, on the eve of the
final battle for the life of the big cor
poration, today issued a statement of
the case. 1t contains in substance.
the following:
THE theory of the defense is that
the Sherman antitrust law does not
apply to the Standard Oil company
because it was enacted after the or.
ganization of the sixty-nine com
panies comprising the present corpor-
alton. The fact that articles in the
corporation were procured later for
the same companies does not bring the
matter within the purpose of the law.
The ownership of several corporations
by the same persons constitutes single

Springs Letters.

Two letters containing contract that
in Pennsylvania was introduced by
Kellogg. He pointed these out to the
court as conclusive evidenc of the
intention of New Jersey corpor-
alton to crush all competition in the
oil field. One letter was written by
Daniel O'Day, general manager of
the American Transfer Company, In
| 1878, addressed to A. ]. Cassatt, then
third vice president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad The other was writ
ten by Cassatt to O'Day.
In these letters it was agreed that
the Pennsylvania would pay rebate
of twenty cents on every barrel of oil
shipped by the Standard Later this
rebate was increased to 221a cents per
barrel Kellogg declared. Cassatt was
layed by Kellogg. who declared that
he was one of the principal conspira-
tors in the case. The Standard. KEEL
logg said, is in position to dictate
terms. After consolidating the pipe
line companies it was to offer a pro-
position to the railroads. The Stand
ard could turn great volume of bust
ness from the railroads. the roads

ST. LOUIS, April AT 1915, KEEL
logg began fo- the government, the
first oral plea in the case. He began
by paying tribute to John D. Rookie
teller, Henry M. Flagler and their as
sociates in the oil business and Will
liam H. Vanderbilt, E. H. Weston and
other railroad kings. He said they
we're all great organizers. TO prove it
he began tracing the history of the
first consolidation Of oil and pipe
line interests. Kellogg referred to a
carefully prepared data in making
this part of his plea. Early in the
argument he disclosed an important
part of the case as to be played by
the indictments returned against John
d. Rockefeller, Henry M. Flagler and
William Rockefeller in Pennsylvania
in 1879 charging an Agreement in
conspiracy" to monopolize commerce
in oil and obtain unlawful rebates to
prevent others from buying and refin-

The brief asks for injunction against

IF the antitrust act would be made

we must adopt broad and reasonable
construction of this act which does not

of this power the eyes of the court

"One day my sister substituted q
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup Of coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. I noticed the richness Of
1t and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead Of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
clearness to my eyes. then she told
me Of the health-giving, nerve
Strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place OF my morning coffee.
From that time became disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
