Uncle Sam Gets ALLEGED De-
frauder

r. A. Arthur, alias R, r. Bartlett, an
alleged commission merchant, who con
Quoted a commission house in Burling-
ton, was arraigned before United States
Commissioner NJ. S. Villas Saturday and
was held to appear before the United
States grand jury, which meets in Bur-
lington on the fourth Tuesday of Febru-
airy. Bail was fixed at $1,000, which the
respondent was unable to furnish. Ar
thur manifested desire to plead guilty
to the charges against him. The ex-
treme penalty is a fine of $500 or eighteen
months imprisonment, or both.
There are three counts in the COM
plant, all charging Arthur with using
the mails to defraud. The first count
is for putting fraudulent advertise
ment in The st. Adams Messenger and
circulating the same through the mails;
the second and third counts are for
writing two letters of different dates to
F. l. Marvin of st. Adams, of the Frank
lin County Creamery Co. for the pur-
pose of defrauding Mr.. Marvin of his
products.
The respondent admitted that he op-
Grated the commission merchant game
in Watertown, N. Y, under the name
of L. H. Chandler. Numerous witnesses
testified, among them being merchants
OF Burlington who bought produce of
the respondent. Arthur had $500 with
him, probably the proceeds gathered in
Watertown. He admitted that he paid
only one or two of his creditors in that
city.
Much of the evidence against the re-
spondent was found by Deputy United
States Marshall Thomas Reeves, who
searched the prisoners pockets at the
time of the arrest.

END OF STANDARD OIL.
v. S. Circuit Court Orders the
Corporation Dissolved.

The government wins its suit against
the STANDARD Oil Co. The enited States
circuit court sitting at st. Paul last Sat
urday, ordered the corporation dissolved,
it being pronounced an illegal corpora
ton. The case was heard at st. Louis
in April, 1909, by Judges Sanborn Of
st. Paul, Van Devanter of Cheyenne,
Hook of Leavenworth, and Adams of
st. Louis, Judge Sanborn wrote an opin-
ion and decree in which all the judges
concurred. The suit was brought to
enjoin John d. Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller, Henry M. Archbold, Oliver
II. Payne, Charles M. Pratt, the Stand
ard Oil Co. of New Jersey and about 70
other corporations from maintaining a
combination and conspiracy in the re-
straint of trade to monopolize interstate
cree grants the injunction sought by the
government.
The case is one of the most notable in
the history of the nation on account of
important industrial and legal questions
and the vast financial interests involved.
Judge Sanborn's opinion reads:
Congress has power under the COM
mercial clause of the Constitution to
regulate and restrict the use in COM
merce among the several states and with
foreign nations of contracts of method
of holding title to property and of every
other fundamentally employed in that
commerce so far as it may be necessary
to do so in order to prevent the restraint
thereof denounced by the antitrust act
of July 2, 1890.
"If its necessary effect is only in
cidentally or indirectly co restrict that
competition while its chief result is to
foster trade and increase the business of
those who make and operate it, it does
not violate that law. But if its neces-
sary effect is to stifle or directly and
substantially to restrict free competition
in commerce, it is illegal. The combi-
nation in single corporation or person
by the exchange of the stock or power of
many stockholders holding the same pro-
portions respectively of a majority of the
stock of each of several corporations en-
gagged in commerce on the same articles
among the states or with foreign ma
tions to restrict competition therein
renders the power thus vested in the
former greater than previously held by
the stockholders and it is illegal.
Thirty-three of the seventy odd sub
sidiarv corporations were excepted from
the order of dissolution and the bill dis
missed against them.
1t is authoritatively announced by the
officers of the Standard Oil Co. that the
case will be appealed as that has been
the general understanding between the
counsel on both sides of the suit.
The decree of dissolution takes effect
in 30 days unless suspended by an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
In reviewing the history of the COM
pany, The Ohioian says that in 1899
seven individual defendants caused the
majority of the stock of 10 corporations
to be transferred to the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey thereby acquiring legal
title to the majority of the stock and OBJ
tanning the controlling interest.
