RUMoRs OF FRICTION DENIED.
Rock Island-Frisco Interests Sa,
There Are No Differences.

4uSIc are mo OlAcIcuCcS.
NEW YORK. November 2O.-Rumors
of friction among the leading interests
In the Rock Island-Frisco system were
not conf1rmable in the financial district
today So far as they relate to the re-
ported resignation of President Winchell
from the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific, they we're declared to be absolutely
untrue
There exists a belief. however, that
the faction In Rock Island led by Judge
Moore has manifested some resentment
against B. r. Yoakum. chairman of the
executive committee of the company, be-
cause of his association with Edwin
Hawley in the recent purchase of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway.
The latter system Is a formidable COM
petitor of the ST. Louis and San Fran
cisco road. and Mr.. Yoakum's partnership
with Mr.. Hawley in the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas is said to have been con-
strued as an act urfriendly to his asso-
ciates in the Rock Island board.
Banking interests identified with the
Rock Island system deny all reports of
serious differences. but decline to discuss
the Yoakum and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas phase of the situation.

DECREE EFFECTIVE IN 30 DAYS
Appeal to Be Taken to Supreme
Court and Stay Probably Grant
ed-opinions by Judges San
born and Hook.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 2r.-In an
opinion written by Judge Walter II. San
born of st. Paul and cOncurred In by
Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Adams,
with special concurring opinion by
Judge Hook, the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Missouri
today handed down an opinion declaring,
the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey an illegal combination. operating in
restraint of trade, and ordered it's disso-
luton.
The opinion of the court was filed 81
multaneously in St. Louis and in ST.
Paul.
In this decision the government of the
United States wins a sweeping victory,
and according to Frank Il. Kellogg of
this city. who was the governments spe-
cial prosecuting officer. the government
has won every point for which it con-
tended
The case will be appealed direct to the
United States Supreme Court, as the
judges who signed todays decree are in
effect the judges Of the United S safes
circuit court of appeals, although they
were sitting for the purpose of trying this
case as the circuit court for the eastern
district OF Missouri.
Effective In Thirty Days.
The decree Of the court dissolving the
Standard Oil trust becomes effective in
thirty days, when no doubt a stay Will
be granted for the purpose of an appeal
When the decree takes effect unless a
stay is granted. an injunction will issue
restraining the Standard Oil Company
from further continuance of its bust
ness under it's present formation.
1t appears from the concurring opinion
written by Judge Hook, that the company
cannot do business unuer any form with
out stitiing competition. for. he says OF
this subject that 1t is ,nought that will
will naturally disappear but should it no
do so, and the members of the cOmbina
ton retire from it except one who migh
perpetuate the monopoly by the aggrega
ton of the physical properties and instru
mentalities. 1t would constitute a viola
ticl Of the DEGREES of the court.
In the trial of the case the point wa:
made that the Standard Oil Company
was a beneficent corporation in that. by
reason of economies in operation, 1t re-
duced the price of it's product This
Judge Hook says, can have no weight.

who reported the wreck. said his ship did
not approach close enough to make an
investigation, the wrecked vessel evident
ly being in shoal water.
With glasses he saw what appeared to
be three spars above water. one of them
about fifteen feet above. He-is not GER
tain that the middle one was a mast.
Not in Nourmahals Course.
According to the location given by Capt.
Schlaikier. the Nourmanhal, If this really
is Col. Astor's yacht, was considerably
out Of her course. having been reported
as bound from Port Antonio, Jamaica,
for San Juan. Porto Rico. But in the
fierce blow recently this is readily ac-
count for.
The submerged vessel was reported i'm
mediately upon the arrival Of the Wotan

Tonight the wireless station here Is
seeking the revenue cutter Algonquin,
with instructions to proceed at once TO
the point designated in the report OF
Capt. Schlaikier.. So far the local station

any submerged or crippled vessel and re-
port Immediately by wireless. In previous
| Instructions no locations were given.
No Other Vessel Missing.
According to advices received here no
other vessels in the storm zone have been
reported missing, without being accounted
for. This lends additional cause for be-
lief that the ill-fated vessel sighted by
the Wotan is Col. Astor's yacht.
At $50 o'clock tonight the local wire

Many conflicting reports were cur

from the burning steamers side, but
all these were set at rest by the tele-

Built at Bath, Me.
The St. Croix was built at Bath. Me-,
in 1895. She was 24O feet long, 40 feet
beam and 25.9 depth of hold. Her gross
registered tonnage was 1888 and net ton
mage 1904 tons.
She carried crew Of fifty-nine. She
was owned by the North Pacific Steam
ship Company of Seattle.
The st. Croix was brought south about
six weeks ago as one of the vessels Of an
Independent line between San Francisco
and southern California points to compete
with the Pacific Coast Company.
The advent Of the st. Croix on the run
between San Francisco and the south re-
suited in a rate war. In which the rate
between San Francisco and Los Angeles
was cut as low as 81. AS result of the
low rate all steamers have been crowded
with passengers.

RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD.

worth contemplating. The railway mile

The cost OF constructing our portion is

and Of the rest Of the world almost S95.-

country IS one-half that of the rest Of the

better construction IN Europe. larger cost

but Il Is. nevertheless. claimed that by a
just comparison with results. we get our
roads much cheaper according TO money
spent than the rest Of the world. Our
earning power is nearly as great as that
OF the roads Of the rest OF the world, II
spite Of the fact that We have about one
fifth Of the population Of al the other

ceipts each year are less than s. 500, ,000. oo0,
and for the rest OF the world IN excess OF

Our operating expenses are proportion

carry about One-sixth as many passen-

here IS the astonishing fact-we carry
almost as many tons OF freight as al OF

We haul q ton OF freight an average Of

carries ton but sixty-eight miles. In
other words our railways are doing much
more work than all the rest Of the world

matter Of freight, yet our receipts are not
SO large.
The inference IS obvious that we charge
only about half as much for hauling a
