CANNOT EXTRADITE
SPOKANE CITIZEN
Request of Oakland Authorities
Is Denied by Governor of
Washington

OAKLAND, Aug. 2S.-The governor
of Washington has refused to grant
extradition papers for the return to
this city of Walter Burckhalter, pros
porous merchant of Spokane. Wash,
who is charged by his wife. Mrs. Fran
ces j. Burckhalter, of 1914 Fourteenth
street, with failure to provide for her
and their two children.
Burckhalter, according to the
womans allegations, left her FIVE years
ago, and eventually established him
self in, business at Spokane. She re-
ceived no money from him, she averred,
and she is now employed as a substi-
tute teacher in the Fruitvale schools.
After Burckhalter had been traced
to Spokane, the California state legis-
1ature passed an act making failure to
provide a felony. Mrs. Burckhalter
went to the police and asked that the
man be extradited.
Fearing a repulse, Captain of Detec-
tives Petersen required that she defray
the expenses of the move Today he
received word that the state of Wash
ington would not permit the extra
dition. The refusal was based on an
opinion of the attorney general of
Washington that Burckhalter's alleged
offense was committed before the law
was passed and that to return him to
Oakland would be to make the new
statute retroactive. For this constitu-
tional reason he declined his sanction.

LRB0R LEADER SAYS
BUILD MORE JAILS
Are Going TO Fight for Freedom
Of Speech and Press.

Toronto, Nov. 22.-When Andrew
Furceth and John Frey, chairmen re-
spectively of the presidents report
and resolutions committee, were asked
whether the fact that the American
Federation of Labor convention in
meeting on Canadian soil had any
thing. to do with the stirring defiance
hurled at the United States courts in
their reports, each replied that the
language used would have been just
as strong had the meeting been held
in the United States.
The general opinion of the delegates
is that the entire convention would
have been declared in contempt of
court had the proceedings taken place
in the states.
Furseth, one of the main props of
the convention, said that his commit
tee, which recommended disobedience
of injunctions when they seek to de-
prive people of what are deemed con-
stitutional rights, meant the recon-
mendation as an affront to the courts.
Before this fight is over" he said
I'VE will give the courts the oppor-
tunity of imprisoning hundreds of our
leaders, for we are going to fight for
freedom of speech and press. They
had better begin now to build more
jails"

STORY OF THE FAMOUS CASE
II Has Been in the Courts for More
Than Three Years.

The suit of the government to dis
solve the Standard Oil company was
filed in the Eighth judicial circuit in
St Louis, Nov Is, 1906, at the direc-
tion of the attorney general. The ac-
tion was one in equity brought under
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law. The control through the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
of more than 100 corporations engaged
in the refining and marketing of oil
was characterized as a conspiracy in
restraint of trade.
The government asked for perma-
nent injunction restraining the holding
company from disposing of control of
its subsidiary corporations and from
reorganizating in such a manner that
the alleged conspiracy be pertetuated
The governments complaint against
the alleged trust was a printed docu-
ment of 100 pages. 1t recited in detail
the steps taken and the methods used
by John D. Rockefeller, William Rookie
feller and Henry NJ. Flagler and others
in building up the big oil corporation.
Standard Makes Stubborn Fight.
A stubborn fight against the govern
ment charges was begun at once by
the Standard. The power of the gov
ernment to subpoena individuals and
corporations outside the st. Louis dis
trict into the federal court there and
compel them to answer charges was
at first denied The contention was
argued at length, but was oyerruled
and the service of the processes held
legal.
The defendants then filed answers
to the governments allegations and
the case was set for trial

the Standard Oil company in New
York Immediately after the news of
the decision had been received that
an appeal would be entered at once.
Battle Lasted Three Years.
The decision constitutes a complete
an sweeping victory for the govern
ment after legal battle lasting three
years.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey-the parent corporation-Jo
ID. Rockefeller, its founder and chief
stockholder, six other high officials
and all the subsidiary corporations
composing the trust are enioined from
continuing or carrying into effect the
illegal combination they have
formed and also are enjoined from
entering into any like combination or
conspiracy the effect of which will be
to restrain interstate commerce in
petroleum or its products. Further
than this the decree forbids the de-
PENDANTS from engaging or continuing
IN interstate commerce until they dis
continue their illegal combination.
Though the company is not put out
of existence the powers that enabled
1t to operate the oil monopoly are
taken away. The company can no
longer vote the stock of the minor
companies. 1t cannot control their
directors or officers and the minor
companies cannot pay dividends to
the parent concern Further, the de-
PENDANTS to the original suit are In
structed that they must not again
form a combination that will be a
monopoly of the oil business.
Judge Sanborn of st. Paul, the pre-
siding judge, wrote the opinion and
the decree, in which all the judges
concur and sent them, with a con-
curing opinion of Judge Hook, to
Judge Adams at st. Louis, who filed
them and entered the decree in that
city.
