BRILLIANT LEGAL
 TALENT ARRAYED
Outcome of Suit Will Deter, mine Future Course in
 Trust Busting

WASHINGTON, D. C., March H. The most serious legal battle that Standard Oil' has ever faced will confront it next Monday
 That is the day set by the supreme court of the United States to hear ar guments on the appeal of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey from the adverse judgment of the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri, which ordered the dissolution of the New Jersey corporation as an l illegal combination and monopoly in restraint of interstate commerce. TO point out the alleged errors of the cir cult court in its findings and in its de- cree, the keenest intcllects within com mand have been procured. To argue | for the affirmance of the decision of the | lower court, Mir. Wickersham, the attor ney general of the United States him self will head the brilliant array of counsel for the government. The circuit court announced grave findings against the seven individual defendants, John D. Rockefeller, Will jam Rockefeller, Henry NJ. Flagler Henry II. Rogers, John D. Archbold Oliver H. Payne and Charles M. Pratt the Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey and other defendant companies.
 The court found that in 1899, by al exchange of stock of seven individuals the Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey acquired the legal title to a major ity of the stock of nineteen companies which in turn controlled large mum Der of others, all but one engaged II the oil business
 What it found as to this combination was that:
 That since 1899 the affairs of al these companies have been managed b, the principal company as the bushes of a single person, so as to fix for then the price of crude oil, the rates fo transportation and the selling price of it's products.
 That the par value of the combined stock in 1899 was about $l00,000,000 and that in 1903 it was $l50,000, ,000.
 That twelve of these companies own ed 54,565 miles of pipe lines.
 That six of these companies had 3. 574 selling stations throughout tn, United States.
 That these companies from 1899 t' 1907 produced more than One-tenth O. the crude oil obtained Tn this country
 That they owned and operated morl than one-half of all the t; Ili ears uset to distribute it's products.
 That they manufactured more thar threefourths of all the crude oil re fined in the United States.
 That they transported more thaI four-ffths of the petroleum derived from the Pennsylvania and Indiana oi | fields.
 That they marketed more than four ffths of all the Illuminating oil solo in the United States.
 That they exported more than four fifths of all the Illuminating oil sent forth from the United States,
 That they sold more than four-ffth' of all the naptha sold in the United States.
 That they sold more than nine tenth' of all the lubricating oil sold to railroad companies in the United States.
 On this finding the court decreed That the organization of 1899 was { combination or conspiracy in restraint

of interstate commerce in petroleum and its~products, such as the first sec ton of the Sherman antitrust act de-. clares is illegal; that the seven indi- vidual defendants, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and thirty nine other companies had entered into a combination or conspiracy to monOp- oize and had in fact monopolized sub stantial part of the interstate commerce in violation of the second section of the Sherman antitrust act; that thirty three other companies accused were proven not to be in this combination.
 The court enjoined the principal com pany and it's directors from exercising any control over the subsidiary com panies; it enjOined the subsidiary com panies from declaring or paying any dividends to the principal company but not from distributing ratably to the shareholder fthe principal company the stock of the subsidiary company; it enioined those found to be in the "illegal combination from continuing in it or forming a new combination by means of aggregation of the physical properties in the hands of one member of the combination, and forbade those in the combination from engaging in inter- state commerce until the combination was discontinued.
 The counsel arrayed in defense of the Standard Oil includes John G. Mil burn, of Buffalo. N. Y., in whose home Mckinley died; D. T. Watson and John G. Johnson, leaders of the Pennsyl- vania bar; and Moritz RO enthal, the legal pillar of the Standard Oil inter ests. Of these Johnson made the prin- cipal arguments in defense of the tobacco cases before the supreme court The defense has urged that the corpora tions, which entered into the organiza. tion of 1S99 had not been competitors since 1879; that the stockholders of the principal company were the joint own CTS of the stock of the subsidiary com panies and had the right to convey their stock in the latter to the former in trust for themselves, and congress was without power to restrict theil acquisition, their method of holding ol | their disposition of their title to theil property or their use of it; that tho corporations whose stock were invested in the Standard Ofi Company of New Jersey are private corporations and not charged with public duty as were | the railroads in the Northern Securities case; and that if any restraint of trad, resulted from the organization in lS9! it was neither direct, immediate no substantial.
 Attorney General Wickersham prob ably will make the principal argumen to the court in favor of the dissolution Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, an, Charles B. Morrison of Chicago hay, been most active in the preparation O the case against the defendants. Thei arguments were upheld in the main b, the lower court.
 The business world is awaiting tn outcome of the suit to know what effec it will have upon the future not onl, of the Standard Oil, but of other com : bnations in common. The departmen of justice is waiting for the decision of the court in order to shape the gov

WILL OF MRS. HYDE CONVEYED ALL ID
 HUSBAND
Prosecution Will Try for Proof of Important
 Point at Trial

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 1l.-It developed today that during the trial oS Dr. Hyde here next month on the change of poisoning Colonel Swope, the prosecution will attempt to show that following suggestions made to her, Mrs. Hyde made a will in which she be- queatheed all her property to her hus- band. Under the will of Colonel Swope, Mrs. Hyde was his beneficiary to the amount of more than $300,000.
 The will alleged to have been made by Mrs. Hyde, the Swope attorneys say, was drawn up soon after Dr. Hyde's dismissal from the Swope home. In the trial of Dr. Hyde an attempt will be made to show that Mrs. Hyde was seriously ill, that it was suggested to her that an operation might be neceS- sary and that she made her will, leav- ing all her property to her husband iu the event that the operation was not success. Later it was found the Swope attorneys say, that an operation was not necessary.
 Lucy and Margaret Swope, nieces VT ONioHNi p"pPN, SuNS utDOSl- tions today, Lucy Swope's testimony discredited reports that Hyde had of fered them several drinks of water slightly discolerod, while the two were coming to Kansas City from New York, on their return from Paris.
 Margaret S'wope testified as to med ical treatment Hyde gave her, and said that Hyde gave her a hypodermic in iection and an hour later she became i'll. This, Miss Swope deposed, was the last time Hyde treated her. December IS, she testified, she again became ill. The matter elected from her stomach dur ing the attack was found to contain strychnine. Calling attention to her statement that Dr. Hyde ceased treat ing her after December 12, Attorney Walsh asked Miss Swope who attend, ed her after.
 She answered Dr. Twyman, the fam fly physician.
 "Did not Twymau give you hypoder- mic injections, too?" Walsh questioned.
 ''Yes, she answered, "but I can not remember on what dates or how many times"

Il young man who had an unfortunate
impeachment in his speech read a short
farce, the sole condition being that it
should not occupy more time than it
took to finish the cigar the manager
had just lit. They both started, the
one reading, the other smoking, but as
the mild Havana gradually grew
shorter the worse the young author
spluttered. They finished together. OF
course the question was Immediately
put, what do you think of it?-"
"Well," replied the manager, its not
a half bad idea. Father, mother, lover,

Instead of breakfast, and that at the
accustomed hour every one laid aside
his book to light his pipe, the master
smoking with them and teaching them
how to hold their pipes and draw in
the tobacco"
In England at the time of the great
plague it was reported that no n liv-
ing in a t~obacconist's house fell sick of
the disease. This caused a great de-
mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his
diary, Il remember that l heard for
