GIVES REASONS My
COMBINE SHOULD STAND
Claim is Set Up That the Corpora
tions Taken in Big Merger Were
Not Competing at the Time-Proof
is Offered to Show IL Blessing
to Country.


WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March s.
Easing its case largely on It's claim
thar the corporations merged with
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey in 1899 were non-competing AT
that time and on the allegation that
the Interpretation given to the Sher-
man antitrust law by the lower court
would strike down organized business.
the standard Oil Company today flied
in the Supreme COURT of the United
States its brief against the dissolu-
ton of the organization.
This dissolution was ordered by the
Circuit Court of the United states for
the Eastern district OF Missouri as a
result of petition filed by the gov
eminent in 1906. Whether or not the
decree of dissolution shall stand will
come up on Monday for oral argu.
ment in the Slprcme Court. Frank Il.
kellogg is now in this city putting the
finishing touches on the brief of the
government, while Attorney General
'N.ckersham is understood to be pre-
pairing an oral argument OF the case.
For Economy.
The brief for the Standard Oil
bears the names of ID. T. Watson,
John NJ. Freeman and Ernest c. irwin.
The argument of counsel for the
Standard Oil in support of the conten-
ton that the corporations, whose
stocks were exchanged in 1899 Tor
stock in the Standard OIL Company,
of New Jersey, were nOn-cOmpetitors,
is based on the assertion that they
were all owned at that time in the
same proportion and by the same
peopie who owned the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey.

zation in 1899 was dictated by

In summing up their brief. counsel
put their case this way:
This group Of men has done all

created wealth. have added TO the
wealth of our country and its taxable
property. have done it with their own
means and skill and industry. worked
at il from 1869 to 1910; risked their
fortunes in its development. And yet
in 1910 a court sitting in equity
struck their organization down. Not
because they were doing unlawful
things. but simply because they made
a mistake as to the methods ~
which they could the better hold thei'

RICHMOND. VA. March S.-The
chief points Of interest OF the general
spprcpriaiCn bill introduced today In
the house OF delegates are:
J. N. Bauserman, commissioner oil
State hospitals, salary cut from 81,
zoo to $1,000.
The appropriation for the main
tainance of the Office Of secretary
OF Virginia war records. held by
Hal. X. w. Hunter. is not mentioned
Salaries of the clerks of the

stated by fees until 1912.
Strict Economy.
The leanest general appropriation
bill to be acted upon by a Virginia
legislature in years was offered to
the house OF delegates this morning
shortly after it convened at II
o'clock.
The deficit in the State treasury
said to be $4,000. and the conditions
which now hold bore weight with the
finance committee. and the only items
for which the legislature will appro
pirate money are those which are alb
solutely necessary
State institutions are al provided
for under the appropriation Dill. but
there is so little increase in the ap
preparations fer their maintenance
that they are hardly worth mention
ing. The increase all arose out oil
conditions which made improvements
absolutely necessary.
Cuts Salary in Half.
A shock contained in the bill Is
the cutting OF the salary OF J. y
sauserman from $4,000 to $1,000
Friends OF Mr.. Bauserman declared
this morning that Il was understood
that his Office and salary should re
