CONSPIRACY DENIED
BY BANK PRESIDENT
Court Asked to Dissolve Iniunc-
ton Against Levying Under
Judgment for $1,000
[Speeial Dispatch 10 The CeIl

tSpccidi DLspdfch 10 ne Call
SAN JOSE. Dec Nv. H. Hubbard,
president of the Bank of Mountain
View. appeared before Judge Welch to-
day to obtain the dissolution of a tenn
porary injunction issued against him a
few days ago restraining him from
levying on the property of the San Jose
and Santa Clara county railroad on the
Kimie judgment of something over
$1,000 which was bought, he says, as
an investment.
Charles Kimic was awarded judg-
ment of $1,000 and costs of suit more
than two years ago against the San
Jose and Los Gatos interurban rail-
road and the San Jose and Santa Clara
county railroad jointly. The injured
man had never levied on either road,
but recently sold his judgment to the
Bank of Mountain View.
COMPROMISE Is REJECTED
The San Jose and Santa Clara county
railroad, scenting an alleged conspiracy
in which Hubbard was acting as agent
for the interurban road, to have the
judgment levied against the former
company. obtained temporary in
junction against Hubbard and the
sheriff to stop them from taking this
action. which would have allowed the
Interurban railroad to step from un-
der" and cause the entire Judgment
to fall on the other road.
To show good faith in opposing the
motion for the dissolution of the in
junction, the San Jose and Santa Clara
county railroad company, through its
attorney, f. NJ. Rea, offered at the be-
ginning of the hearing to put up a
View bank that 1t would not lose, no
matter how the case might go when it
was heard, but the offer was refused.
Rea also offered to pay half of
the judgment provided the other half
was paid by the interurban company.
This offer likewise was refused.
CONSPIRACY Is DENIED
4 The charges of conspiracy made by
the San Jose and Santa Clara county
railroad against Jere T. Burke, +. E.
Chaplin and c. Z. Newman, respectively
president, vice president and secretary
of the Interurban railroad and against
w H. Hubbard. president of the Noun
tain View bank, were strenuously de-
MED by these men in af1davits filed
with the court
Hubbard stated that the buying OF
the judgment was purely business
investment, despite the fact that at
the time the judgment was bought the
case was still before the supreme
court.
Rea pointed out that the same attor-
neys are acting for the bank and the
Interurban road.
After argument decision was re-
served by the court.

APPEAL SUBMITTED
BY STANDARD OIL
Supreme Court of United States
Asked to Reverse Recent
Decision for Error
Mammoth Trust and Its Snbsid-
iaries Deny Violation OF
the Sherman Law

ST LOUIS. Dec. 17.-Attorneys for
the standard oil company of New Jer-
sey. its subsidiaries and the seven in
dividuals against whom the govern
ment recently won it's dissolution suit,
today filed an appeal from the adverse
decision of the federal circuit court
Sixty-five instances in which the trial
court is alleged to have erred are cited
as reasons for the appeal. Collectively.
the assignments OF error are that the
evidence did not show a violation of
the Sherman antitrust law.
The findings in respect to competi-
tion between corporations occupying
contiguous territory are assailed; as
also are conclusions of the court re-
garding the part that John d. Rookie
feller, H. III. Rogers, John ID. Archbold
and other individual defendants took
in the formation and conduct of the
various companies The, order grant
ing the appeal was signed by Circuit
Judges Hook and Adams.
Error is also alleged in the ruling
that a holding company owning the
stock of companies that otherwise
would be competitive is n form of trust
prohibited by the sherman act.
The document turns to the courts
reference to the Northern securities
in deciding that that case was ruled
by the older decision.
The attitude of the rulings regarding
the defendant subsidiary companies is
attacked, error being asserted in the
findings as TO their relations with the
Standard of New Jersey. The exist
ence of a conspiracy in restraint of
trade is denied from this viewpoint.
The court enjoined the New Jersey
company from voting the stock of
subsidiary concerns. smaller companies
from paying dividends to the larger.
individual defendants from continuing
the combination which it found to ex-
ist or the formation by them OF any
similar arrangement looking to the
control of price or transportation Of
petroleum. All these orders are de-
clared to be in error. The assignment
of errors was presented to the court
by Frank l.. Crawford Of New York.
counsel for the Standard oil company.
