Standard Officials Refuse
to Discuss the Decision

NEW YORK, November 2O.-The Stand.
ard Oil authorities in this city declined
today to comment on the decision declar-
ing the company an illegal corporation
NJ. F. Elliott the company's general
counsel, said:
NO statement will be given out by us
before Monday. or until an authenticated
opinion is in our hands,
John D. Archbold was at his home IL
Tarrytown when Informed of the decision
Il had not heard OF the matter" said
he, until informed by the newspapers
shall not make any statement, and if
anything is said it must come from Mr..
Elliott, the counsel FOR the company.
Certainly there will be no statement made
until we have looked over the text Of the
courts decision"
the ticker sheets before Wall street be-
gan to guess how the Standard Oil people
would in the event of necessity con-
form to the circuit court decision and
at the same time retain in some other
form a working hold upon their enormous
opinion that the decision would yield next
to nothing in practical results. They
based this view on the results of other
dissolution judgments.
other Cases Cited.
Il am afraid said Henry Wohlman,
who was associated with Attorney Cen
eral Hadley of Missouri is prosecuting
that states well known suit against the
Standard Oil Company that the effect
of this dissolution judgment If sustained
will be about the same as that obtained
from other similar decisions against
great corporations. None OF them has
yielded any practical results. AS long as
the power Of confiscation is withheld
there is no effective relief from an order
of dissolution. because the property re-
mains eventually in the same hands
The only benefit that can come from 1t Is
through its morla effect.
Look at the history of attempts to
compel great corporations to dissolve"
Mr. Wohlman added. There was the
North River sugar case. the original
sugar trust. The New York state court
of appeals ordered its dissolution, and
yet the sugar trust is alive and doing
business today.
'Then there was the case OF the whisky
trust 1t was compelled to dissolve by
the Illinois state courts. but it started up
little later in a new form. and the old
Illinois trust was baby compared with
the one of today.

STANDARDS NEXT MOVE.
Prosecutor Kellogg's Comment on
Standard Oil Decision.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 2O-Frank
3. kellogg, who prosecuted the case
against the Standard Oil Company, said
today that the government had scored
again. What is there to do?" he asked.
We've got absolutely everything we
wanted. It was clean-cut, complete,
sweeping victory. The government has
won every point it went after. The opin-
ions and the decree make it very plain.
There is nothing more to be said. and
there is nothing more for us to do but
rest on the decree and be pleased with
it,"
Then so far as you are concerned, it's
the Standard OTIS next move?'
That's about it, he said.

title to property was there. or is here in

Is here, whether certain method of
holding the stocks which control several
corporations may be used to prevent COM
petition between them in interstate and
international trade
THE purpose of the act Of July 2. 1900.
was to prevent the sitting and the sub
stantial restriction of competition in in
terstate and international commerce. -
In the case under consideration the COM
blnation and conspiracy in restraint of
trade and it's continued execution which
have been found to exist constitute il
legal means by which the conspirinX de-
PENDANTS nbined, and still combine and
conspire, to monopoliZe a part of inter-
state and international commerce and
monopoly of substantial part Of it, and
this conspiracy constitutes as clear and
complete violation of the second as Of
the first section of the act.
Upon the ground that the defendants
have thus violated and are violating the
second section Of the act as fully as upon
the ground that they have violated it's
first section. the decree in favor of the
government must be and is based
Judge Hooks Opinion.
Judge Hook in a concurring opinion ex-
pressed strong views on the case in
part. as follows:
1.-The principal conclusions upon which
we are all agreed. may be briefly stated
as follows: A holding company, owning
the stocks Of other concerns whose COM
mercial activities II free and Independent
of common control would naturally
bring them into competition with each
other. is form Of trust or combination
prohibited by section one of the Sherman
antitrust
pany of New Jersey is such holding
company. The defendants who are in the
combination are enjoined from continuing
it and from forming another like it..
The holding company is enjoined from
exercising the rights Of a stakeholder
are enjoined from allowing it to do SO
or to benefit therefrom in the way Of
dividends.
1T is thought that with the end of
the combination the monopoly will natu-
rally disappear. but lest, instead OF re-
sulting that way, the monopoly SO wrong
fully gained be perpetuated by the ag-
gregation of the physical properties and
mstrumentalities by which it Is maintain
ed in the hands of member of the
combination and the liquidation and re-
tirement from business of the other MEM
bers. it is held that such course would
violate the decree.
THE modern doctrine is but a recog-
milton Of the obvious truth that what
a government should not grant because
injurious to public welfare the individual
should not be allowed to secure and
hold by wrongful means.
THE baneful effect Is the same whether
the monopoly comes as a gift from a
government or is the result of individual
wrongdoing.
Nor can arguments of reduced prices
of products. economy in operation and
the like have weight"

The duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place But the duke had forgotten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours A Highlander pres ent described the Perth writer's ln- dignation and his mode of showing It by most elaborate course of swear ing. But whom did he swear at! was tho inquiry made of the narrator, Who replied: Oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude In la middle of ta road and swoor at lairge.' I have from a friend also an anecdote which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even 10 female ears when mixed up with the inter- course of social life.
