STANDARD OIL ASKS APPEAL
Oil Company Alleges Sixty-Fy
Errors on Part of Lower Court.
PAPERS FILED IN ST. LOUI
Order Granting the Appeal 1
Supreme Court is Signed by
Judges Hook and
Adams.

ST. LOUIS, Dec 1.-THE appeal of the
Standard Oil company OF New Jersey, its
subsidiaries and the seven inu4,tuuals
against whom the government recently
won its dissolution suit in the Unite
States circuit court, was filed here today
Slxty-five instances in which the circuit
court is alleged TO have erred are cited as
reasons for taking the case to the supreme
court of the United tSates.
The appeal was accompanied by bond
Of $4,000
Collectively the assignments of error are
that the evidence did not show a violation
Of the Sherman act. under which the suit
was brought. The decree is attacked as
against almost all the defendants, different
reasons being assigned as to why they
were not subject TO the order of the court
The findings in respect TO competition as
between corporations occupying territory
are also declared to have been error as
well as the courts conclusions regarding
the part which John D. Rockefeller. Henry
H. Rogers, John d. Archbold and the other
individual defendants took in the forma-
ton an dconduct OF the various companies.
The order granting the appeal was signed
by Judges William C. Hook and Elmer B.
Adams.
Criticism of the decree begins in assign
mont No. IS. The court enJoined the New
Jersey company from voting the stock of
subsidiary concerns, the smaller companies
from paying dividends to the larger, the iu-
dividual defendants from continuing the
combination which it found to exist or the
formation by them Of any similar arrange
ment looking to the control of the price OF
transportation Of petroleum All these or
ders are declared to be in error.
The findings regarding monopoly OF a
part Of commerce are assailed in assign
ment No. g.
Assignments Nos. Sc and "a contend that
no decree should have been entered against
certain of the defendants which operated
in only one state, or the stock of which
was purchased for cash by the Standa I'd
Of New Jersey, or which was organized st
! the instance Of the trustees of the trust
Of 1882, prior to 1880.
Assignment No. 65 contends the costs OF
| the case should not have been taxed
| against the defendant.
The assignment Of errors was presented
/ to the court by Frank L. Crawford Of New
/ York. counsel for the Standard OIL com.
pany.
