United States circuit court here to-
day ready for trial. Judge John "A.
Marshall, Of Utah, the special judge
assigned to try the cases, was on hand,

that was eve interested in a case In

tons were made. The motion charged

the courts. He believes 1t is possible
to draw a law on this subject of COM
binations ard trusts which will be eff
fective and constitutional. This he
looks upon as the great work ahead OF
himself. and to do 1t he will devote both
his energies and his experience as law
yer and judge.
No Immunity 1ath.r
The greatest effort has bee made
by the government to take no chance
of granting immunity as was done IN
the beef trust case. The Standard OIL
people are expected to argue that this
was done, Notwithstanding the effort
of the government: and IL h cons
pany's contention shall be sustained,
1t is said, it will practically demon
strate hat no trust a be convicted
because in the process of convictfng
NIT some act which under the tmmu-
nifty law will give 1t immunity. This
is one of the important matters in
volved in the case
The court may pursue either of three
courses. 1t may grant the full prayer
of the governments petition, issuing
an order for the dissolution of the
Standard Oil company, and the dis
tribution of Its assets pro rata, back
to the various corporations and indl-
viduals for which it is alleged to be a
holding company. Or, h cou may
find in part for both sides; or, it may
decide entirely In favor of the defend
ant. Beyond this there is the possibfl-
ity that the court, being doubtful,
might certify up the whole matter to
the circuit court of appeals, without
a decision; but this is extremely un-
likely.

guessed and popular elections have
been called. Dispatches from Bogota
four days ago said the entire republic
was tranquil.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN

Washington. April 1.-THE prosecu-
ton of the Standard Oil company be-
gun today in the federal court at ST.
Louis is regarded by the law officers
of the government as the most impor-
tant that has ever been brought under

President Taft is deeply interested

ciusiyely what virtue there is in the
present laws for the suppression of
m~onopolies. The president, as a cir
cult judge, wrote The famous decision
in the Addison Pipe Stone case, which
was the corner stone of the whole
structure of anti-monopoly decisions
from that day to this. The Standard
Oil case will be based by the govern
ment's lawyers in large measure On the
reasoning laid down by Mr.. Justice
Taft in that case and developed and ex-
panded in application by other courts
In numerous cases since. But at the
foundation is the Addison case, on
which Justice Taft worked for many

a great combination was overturned.

The government is anxious to secure
q decision as 90 as possible in the
Standard Oil case. It will go to the SUI
preme court Of the United States, no
matter which side wins in the lower
court; and every possible means will
be employed by the government to ex-
pedite it. Until a fnal decision shall
be reached, it will be difficult to lay
down any conclusive policy for the law
department. or to make any effective
recommendation as to legislation re-
iating to anti trust legislation.

meal Birds nest soup, of course;
chicken, with the bones removed: tea.
queer candied fruits, chop suey. made
of fish. nuts and bamboo sprouts. and
possibly roast duck. covered with
chrysanthemum petals.
The decorations are more pictur-
esque, If less astonishing. than the
food. Plum and cherry blossoms
should be used IL possible: chrysap-
themunis and red and yellow Chinese
Tags. and on the table thy Chinese
lilies. For lights there should be the
shaded Chinese lanterns The favors
might be little fans. or any pretty
thing picked up in a Chinese shop. Al
the places should be a pair OF Chinese
chOpsticks, tiny teacups, a China ladle
for the birds nest soup, and a soft pa
per napkin. which is chanecd with
each course. If possible there should
be a Chinese waiter. as well as go.
as he adds much TO the realty Of tho
occasion.
