SUPREME COURT
GUSTS STANDARD
OIL FROM TEXAS
HIGHEST TRIBUNAL SUSTAINS
DECISION IN 81, 623, 900 FINE ON
WATERS-PIERCE CO.
PENALTY is NOT EXCESSIVE.
Justice Day Declares Punishment Is I'm
usual, but Trial Judge Is Com
petent.
ALL STATES POINTS ARE UPHELD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-The
supreme court of the United States today
affirmed the decree of the state courts of
Texas imposing a fine of $1,623,OOO on
the Waters-Pierce Oil company of st.
Louis and ousting it from the state on
the charge of violating the Texas anti
trust law.
Receiver Is Sustained.
The court also sustained the action OF
the Texas courts in the appointment OF
Robert J. Eckhart as receiver and thus
again decided against the company
which sought to have sustained the &C
ton of the federal court in appointing
@. B. Dorchester at the instance OF
the company. The decisions in al the
cases were unanimous.
The action was begun in the state
courts under the state ANTITRUST laws
and resulted in a verdict directing the
cancellation of the company,s permit 10
do business in the state and fixing pen
atty Of $1,623, 900 for the violation OF
the laws from the time that the permit
was issued on May 81, 1900, till April
"A, 1907, when the action was begun.
The bill charged that the company
had violated the states laws every day
since it had entered the state through
a conspiracy with the Standard Oll COM
pany Of New Jersey, to control the OIL
business of Texas, but the company de-
MED the charge and in addition contend
ed that even if it had violated the law,
it was not amenable, because the bust
ness transacted was of an interstate
character, and therefore subject only to
control by the United States authorities.
The penalty was at the rate OF S15OO
per day from May 81, 1900, to April l,
1908, and at the rate Of $50 per day
from that time on.
Fine Not Too Large.
The case came to the supreme court
on q writ of error from the final de-
cision of the circuit court of appeals for
the third judicial district of Texas. By
the verdict of the trial court, the dis
trict court of Travis county was sus-
tanned. Justice Day announced the de-
cision Of the supreme court, affirming
the finding of the Texas court.
The case turned upon the point as to
whether the proceedings of the state
against the company had been in accord
ance with the constitutional requirement
for due process of law and the court
held that such was the case. While
regarding the fine as very large, Justlcs
Days opinion held that it was compe-
tent to impose it.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-J. D. John
son, general attorney for the Waters
Pierce Oil company and one OF the asSo-
ciate counsel in the Texas suit, declined
to discuss the decision.
''The Associated Press dispatch is the
first information which / have had on
the matter" he said obviously am
not prepared to discuss it

A Frenchman is the possessor of a
unique barometer. 1t consists of the fig
ure of a general made of gingerbread,
which the Frenchman hangs by string
attached to a nail. Gingerbread, as every
one knows, is easily affected by changes
in the atmosphere. The slightest moisture
renders it soft, in dry weather. on the
contrary, it grows hard and tough. When
the general is fabby the owner takes

TO TRY TO ExPEL FOSTER.
Admissions of Baptist in Writings

Monday insisted on the expulsion from

Burnam Foster OF the University of Chi
cago. author of "The Function Of Re-
ligion" and other works. states that
eighty-one preachers had agreed to vote
for the ousting Of Prof. Foster next Mon
day, when the subject would be reopened.
The charges will, it is said, be pre-
sented in substance, as follows:
a. Author of The Function of Religion
in Mans Struggle for Existence, which
shows it's writer an atheist
"2. Author Of The Finality OF the
Christian Religion which brands it's
author as an infidel.
SO. Expelled from the faculty of the
University of Chicago Divinity School fol-
lowing the publication of The Finality OF
the Christian Religion CThis charge may
not be brought, as Prof. Foster says his
withdrawal was voluntarily
a. Excerpt from his latest book tend
ing to show that he is an enemy of the
Baptist ministry: Modern science makes
the claim for divinity an absurdity: God
is mans own creation: the man of today
who can believe In miracles is a knave;
the so-called church Of Jesus Christ IL
made up Of blubbers.'
"5. Views expressed in his books are q
violation of the fundamental law OF the
Baptist Ministers Union.
IS. Admits he is Unitarian.
az. Acts as pastor of Unitarian Church" :"
Prof. Foster is quoted as saying he and
his friends will put up a determined fight
against the proposed action. Mr.. Myers
declares the eighty-one votes he has pro-
cured are more than enough to furnish
the three-fourths necessary to expel.
