Mr. Murdock Is full of ideas for the

STANDARDI
BAS|NG HOPES
ON ITS APPEAL
OIL COMBINATION WILL NOT CON-
slDER QUESTION OF REoReANI-
zATloN UNTIL SUPREME COURT
HAS ACTED.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-Reports
to the contrary, the Standard Oil com
pany announced authoritatively yes.
terday that 1t had no intention of seek
ing to procure an amendment to the
Sherman anti-trust law, but will pro-
ceed with the appeal to the United
States supreme court which, as al
ready announced through Mortimer +.
Elliott. it's general solicitor, is to be
taken from the decree of the United
States circuit court at st. Paul
Until the supreme court has render
ed decision the company will consid-
er no other plan of doing business
than the methods now in use.
Mr.. Elliott is authority for the fore
going. He discussed the case with a
representative of the Associated Press
at the Standard Oil building, 26 Broad
way, yesterday, after a conference
with William G. Rockefeller and John
D. Archbold.
There Is to be no efforts on the
part of the company to procure an
amendment to the Sherman anti-trut
law" said Mr.. Rockefeller. 1--WE shall
await the verdict of the supreme court
before We take any steps looking to-
ard either reorganization or a new
statement of our case to the public.
The court has first rights.
1T seems highly improbable to me
that there will ever be foreign hold
ing company organized, as you tell me
has been suggested. The complexity
of control exercised by the several
states sets too many difficulties in the
way.
Such comment on the case as
have seen misses the fact that the
Standard OIL company is not holding
company pure and simple, as was the
Northern Securities company. For in
stance, it owns outright at Bayonne,
Nd, the largest refinery in the world.
There is nothing in the decree to pre-
vent the company from continuing 20
do business, although I admit that it
makes doing business more cumber-
some. Although the decree enjoins
the Standard Oil company from vot-
ing It's shareholders in subsidiary COM
panles or receiving dividends from
Them, there is no reason why the in
ilvidual holders among whom such
shares would be divided under the de-
cree should not elect their own officers
in the subsidiary companies and re-
ceiye their own dividends from those
companies.
"A proxy system among our 5000
share holders would certainly be no
more unmanageable than the system
as now used by railroad and Industrial
companies with, say $4,000 sharehold-
ers.
"In brief, there is no cause for the
market to fear a forced liquidation of
the securities the Standard Oil com
pany now holds. l disagree with the
gentlemen who think redistribution
Is necessary, other than or the sort
outlined in my first statement.
Mr.. Elliott, in that statement said
he understood the court to order that
the Standard Oil holdings in subsid.
larry companies be apportioned among
Standard Oil share owners in ratio to
their holdings in the parent company.

order and disintegration. 1t is an un-
qualified and unequivocal Endorsement

Taft and Speaker Cannon. and of their

pleased me personally as has this one .
Congressman Mann also expressed
great qualification over the result.
ut shows that the Republicans and
the people at large are satisfied to
test the new tariff before demanding
its revision. 1t shows that they are
satisfied that "Uncle Joe" Cannon is
not the arbitrary man of power that
he is claimed to be in certain quar-
ters. The result Is vote of confidence
in the administration that is wholly
justified"
