OIL TRUST IS
BRANDED ILLEGAL
Government Files Brief in Dissolu.
ton Case in Supreme Court-Says
Competition Was Crushed.

WASHINGTON, March I0.-The
government filed its brief in the
Standard Oil dissolution case in the
supreme court OF the United States
yesterday.
IL combats all OF the contentious oil
the Standard OILS attorneys as ek
pressed in their brief filed Tuesday
and reiterates the government posi-
ton that the Standard Is comblna'
ton in restraint OF trade. that II has
crushed competition and has monopo-
lized the oil industry.
The brief Is long and gives an ex'
haustiye statement OF the facts ana
the law In the case.
Subjects treated In the review or
the company's history relate 10 It's
inception In 1870. acquisition OF the
Cleveland refineries. trust agreement
OF 1879, secrecy of the combination
during its first period, purchase aud
1ismantling OF competing companies
and the acquisition and consolidation
Of pipe lines.
The brief charges that In 1870,
John ID. Rockefeller. William Rookie
teller and Henry NJ Flagler, conceiy'
ed the purpose OF controlling the
petroleum trade. both domestic and
export and obtaining the monopoly
thereof"
Continuing 1t says:
I'VE believe the evidence fully JUS
tifes the statement that these men
entered into a conspiracy which from
time to time took the form OF various
combinations; that shortly thereafter
they were joined IN the conspiracy BY
Henry II. Rogers. John ID. Archbold,
Oliver II. Payne, Charles NJ. Pratt and
others.
There is practically no dispute
about the facts found by the court as
The basis OF its Judgment and the
question, therefore, is whether this
Judgment is correct"
Discussing the legal points inyoiy-
I'd the brief says:
ut is immaterial that this con
spiracy had it's inception prior 10 the
enactment OF the Sherman law or
that any OF the rebates and discrim-
nations granted by the railroads
which enabled the defendants 10
monopoliZe the commerce In petro'
leum annotated the enactment or the
interstate commerce laws, the prin'
ciples OF the common law applied 10
the interstate as well as TO interstate
commerce"
Following are the points at law on
which the brief is based:
The corporate combination OF 1899
was void under the Sherman law as
a monopoly.
The court has power to enjoin this
monopoly.
This conspiracy was continuing
offense. The statute OF limitations
does not begin 10 run until the com
mission OF the last overt act. Neither
can the parties claim vested righ'
to violate the law.
The brief is signed by Attorney
General Wickersham, Frank b. kel

We must be comfortable friends,

If it be hard for a married women

woman. Yet. however devoted her
husband may be, she needs one. No
one but a woman can understand
woman's troubles-small and great;
but she should be on her guard even
with her most intimate friend-that
friend often so cordially disliked. yet
patiently endured by the husband,
who feels himself outside all conf

How often have the seeds of i'll con
tent, unfounded suspicious, receptions
and misconceptions been sown by the
intimate friend?
How easily could the first ruffled
feelings have been smoothed, and the
first dispute settled, had she not been
present with her well-meant interior

The right friend is anxious never to
