STANDARD OIL IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
DISSOLUTION ORDERED BY
FEDERAL COURT.
EVASION IS PROHIBITED
Decree Becomes Effective in 80
Days-Dividends to Parent
Company Restrained.

St. Paul, MINI. Nov Pin an
opinion written by Judge Sanborn,
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, handed down an
opinion declaring the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey an illegal
combination operating in restraint
of trade and ordered its dissolution.
The opinion was filed simuitane-
ously in St. Louis and in St. Paul.
In this decision the government
gains a sweeping victory. Accord
ing to Frank B. Kellogg, special
prosecutor, the government has won
every point for which it contended.
The decree filed by Judge Sanborn
is comprehensive and enjoins the
Standard Company, its directors, Of
fcers, servants and employees fom
voting stock in any of the subsidiary
companies, and from exercising or
attempting to exercise any control
over the acts of these subsidiary
companies.
The subsidiary companies are en-
joined from declaring or paying any
dividends to the Standard Company
and from permitting the latter COM
pany to vote any stock in or direct
the policy of the subsidiary COM
panies.
But the defendants are not pro-
hibited from distributing rateably to
the shareholders of the principal
company the shares to which they
are equitably entitled in the stocks
of the defendant corporations that
are parties to the combination
The decree becomes effective in
80 days, when no doubt stay will
be granted for the purpose of an ap-
peal. When the decree takes effect,
unless stay is granted an injunc-
ton will issue restraining the Stand
ard Oil Company from further con-
tinuance of its business under its
present formation.

FOUR MORE COUNTIES DRY
Liquor Men Dealt Hard Blow by
Idaho Results.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 23.-Complete
returns show that four more Idaho
counties joined the dry columns as
a result of the recent local option
elections in Washington, Twin Falls,
Lincoln and Kootenai. In all of the
four counties the majorities were
strong for prohibition except in
Kootenai, where the lead was only
140 In Washington county, where
the fight was the hottest, the vets
were defeated in all of the larger
precincts, and the majority for pro-
hibition was Az.
The victory is sweeping for the
drys, and with the prospect of but
two counties in the state wet, it is
confidently believed that every in
fuence will be brought to bear for
the passage of statewide prohi-
bition bill at the next session of the
legislature.

Wild People Who Lead . Communal
Life In Caves.

6 Z
Of the curious customs observed
BY the Veddas, or wild people Of
Ceylon, a traveller writes: Gall the
men came to meet us and led the
way to the caves, which were com
pletely hidden by thicket. On
the rocky platform in front of the
cave the men all surrounded us,
shouting to their women to come
and see their white sister-in-law'
or cousin Veddas have always
been renowned for their truthful
ness, and this reputation we are
able to indorse.
each community has its own
hunting ground and adheres strict
ly to its own game rights. Upon
each hunting ground there are a
number of caves and rock shelters,
and the families of the community
move from one to another through
out the year, as the presence Of
game, honey, yams or fish demands.
The big caves are communal prop
erty; the smaller caves usually be-
long to single families. But even
in the communal caves each family
has its particular place, in which its
members sleep, cook, eat and keep
all their belongings.
Each family respects the priva-
cy Of its neighbors' few feet Of the
cave floor as faithfully as if parti-
ton walls existed, only the children
roam all over the cave at will. Food,
however, seemed to be public prop
erty, for one woman would cook
food and share it with every one
present in the cave. This may
probably be explained as follows:
The communal caves are situated
in common hunting ground. There
fore all the game, yams, iguanas or
honey brought in from the common
land is the property Of the commu-
nifty, not of the man who procures
it.
Il have stated that the smaller
caves are usually private property.
It would probably be more correct
to say that Veddss possess private
hunting grounds on which very fire.
quently there are small caves, such
caves being then the property of
the owner Of the land. When
man is living in his own cave in
the midst Of his own hunting
ground the produce Of the chase
would naturally be his own, though
shared with any one living with
him. Women and children always
Jared as well as the men, and the
former would be fed first in any
time of scarcity. Indeed, the dain-
ties were often saved for the chill
