Arguments TO Begin Tomor-

Legal Fight.
TAFT CONCERNED
OVER GREAT CASE
He Wrote Original Anti-Monopoly
Decision, and Is Watching
Its Application.
BY J. C. WELLIvER.

me famous case involving the diSSc-
luton of the Standard OIL Comnany OF
New Jersey viii be argued in the cir
cult court Of ST. Louis. beginning TO-
morrow It is vastly more important
than was the Northern Securities case,
IN the opinion OF the officials OF the
Administration. Presidents Taft is deep
" interested IN it, because he expects
that the decision in il will indicate
pretty conclusively what virtue there Is
in the present laws for the suppression
o. monopolies-
The President. as circuit Judge,
wrote the famous decision in the Add
son Pipe and Steel case. which was the
cornerstone of the whole structure of
anti-monOply decisions FROM that day 10
this. The Standard Oil ,ase win be
based by the Governments lawyers in
large measure on the reasoning laid
down by Mr.. Taft in that case and de-
Yeloped and expanded in application by
other courts in numerous cases since
Going TO Supreme Court.
The Government is anxious to secure
a decision as soon as possible in the
Standard Oil case. II win go TO the su-
preme Court of the United States, no
matter which side wins in the lower
court Until a final decision shall be
reached it will be difficult to Law down
any conclusive policy for the law de-
partment-
The Standard Oil case presents a fine
opportunity for the Supreme Court TO
take a position in terms which cannot
be mistaken. The Governments special
attorneys, Frank 3. Kellogg, Of ST.
Paul, and Charles B Morrison. OF Chi
caGO. working with the Commissioner
Of Corporations, Herbert Knox Smith,
took a vast amount OF testimony They
charge and claim they viii convince the
court that the Standard oil Company Of
New Jersey IS the head Of "A vast system
Of corpora tons really working together
while appearing in many cases TO
maintain competition. that there is no
real competition, and that among them
these corporations control the business
OF refining and marketing oil and also
determine the price Of The crude article.
Before Eminent Bench.
Judges Willis Vandevanter, Walter H.
SanbOrn and E B. Adams viii make up
the bench before which the arguments
viii be heard. This bench granted the
Northern Securities decision. which was
afterward sustained by a divided Su-
preme Court. and has turned out q large
proportion OF the anti-corporation decf-
sions of the first import. nee in recent
years
The court may pursue either Of three
courses II may grant the fun prayer

order for the dissolution Of the Stand

or the court may find in part for both
sides; or Il may decide entirely in favor
Of the defendant. Beyond this there is
the possibility that the court. being
doubtful, might certify Up the whole
matter 10 the Circuit Court Of Appeals
without a decision, but this is extremely
unlikely.

LATEST TARIFF Joker .

There are so many jOkers in the tarlll
bill that most persons have become
tired looking for them, and have turnco
to other fields. Henry Clayton OF Ala
bama. for instance, says that he can
get at the root of an ordinary bill IN
ten minutes. but that it would take him
twelve months to tell the people all Of
the tokers in the Payne production.
The latest joker to be found has TO do
with the maDaer in which the debate IS
being conducted. Representative Marlin
Olmsted of Pennsylvania, has been
selected to preside over the House while
the tariff measure Is being considered IN
the Committee OF the Whole MI
Olmsted keeps in front of him list
OF members who wish to participate IN
the general debate. If a member wishes

to get time during the day when large
proportion of the members Of the House
are present If he IS opposed to 1t and
IS looked upon as debater who mig hi

points to his formidable list and says:

are about sixty ahead Of you, and some

put you down for 10 O'Clock tonight
That was the conversation which was
handed Representative Austin Offences

of the bill. Mr.. Austin spoke at 10
O'Clock at night when half a dozen
members were doing in their chairs
He delivered an argument in favor of
the bill which would have done credit
TO Serene Payne When he had con-
Guided Mr. Olmsted went TO him and
made the following remark:

WANTS INAUGURAL
FETE ENTIRE WEEK
Charles G. Lancaster Has
Plan for Great National
Festival.

Charles Q. Lancaster president OF the
Northwest Citizens Association, has
suggested a plan for future Inaugural
tons, following the suggestion that the
date should be changed to April or May
Mr.. Lancaster believe that, instead Of
devoting just one day to The festivities
and CrOWding all the events INFO less
than twenty-fObr hours. four or FIVE
days should be given over To the coca
sion and that Washington should make
a carnival week OF il.
General Favor
The plan, which is fast meeting with
favor among business men Of the Cap
ital, would be to devote one afternoon
TO the review of the military pageant
Then there would be another day for the.
political organizations. in their fancy
dress and novel equipment. Another
day would be given over to civic ORGAN
iZations and still another TO fraternal
organizations. Each night there could
be some feature planned. the ball one
night fireworks another night a torch
light parade another and various other
features which go 10 make up a regu-
iatiOn carnival program.
The plan has been widely discussed
and ID has been pointed rsl that If aDV
other big city In the United States were
to have the honor Of ne inauguration
heine held there, its people would turn
the place upside down, and would give
everybody plenty Of tu1e 10 enjoy the
event.
Would Bring Many.
Mr. Lancaster stated -Oday that thou
sands OF persons in the West or the far
South do not come for the inauguration
because they DO not feel they can afford
TO travel all that distance just for hav-
ing the fun OF one day But IL there
were three or foar days included in the
inauguration program, Mr. Lancas ter
said, there would be no doubt that thou
sands would come from every part Of
the country. He pointed out tne great
benefit IL would be To the city 10 have

change would meet with general in
