II was a glorious pageant. a fantasy

twice during its progress to EXPRESS
The depth Of his feelings. first to the
youthful scholars Of the government

STANDARDS CASE
BEFORE THE COURT.
Arguments to Dissolve the Great
Corporation Finished.
TIME Of DECISION NOT KNOWN
The Finding win Either Perpetuate Or
Dissolve the Great Rookie
Teller corporatlon--cut
II up by Roots.

washington, Mar 17.--That court
from whose decision no appeal will lie
now has before 1t the completed case
| Of the government against the Stan.
dard Oil corporation Of New Jersey.
The supreme court heard the last Of
three days Of argument for and against
the dissolution Of the greatest IN
dustrial concern ever organized. When
the court will render the decision thaA
will either perpetuate the Rockefeller
corporation or else dismember 1t. A.
matter that court viii make known
1t its own good pleasure. sl
There Is Z sort Of general expeetas3
ton among the lawyers that the deck
sion will be handed down before or
1t the end Of the present term.
The closing arguments In the case
were bitter. Attorney General Wick
ersham besought the court to "root
up this gigantic monopoly that threat
ems the very life Of the nation, and to
tear from it the fruits Of It's fraud,
while John Johnson, charged the gov
eminent with the attempted confisca'
tion Of great property built up by in-t
dustry, energy and, he declared, with
honesty.
That to dissolve the holding corpor.
ltion Of New Jersey would be the con.
liscation Of the great Standard on
property, was the one leading conten-
hon Of the corporation lawyers. II
was also argued that the Sherman act
does not ond the congress cannot Limit
the amount of wealth an institution
many accumulate, nor the use that
Is to be made Of that wealth.
1--WE had a right under the Sherman
vet to form the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey"
'"The lawyers for the defendant have
tried to throw a veil over Its acts be-
fore 1899 and l do not wonder that
they have" was the way the attorney
general began his speech, and then.
be went on to tear the veil from the
history Of what he called sthIs bru-
tai corporation" NJ
He told OF the various attempts 70
TORN combination and the final cot +
in transferring everything to the New !.
Jersey corporation as a result ofl
tear among the partners that one
might die and throw his estate into
chancery, or that another might out
live his income and put up some
pf his securities.
Mr.. Watson spent some time explain
Ing that the decision In the north
ern securities case was not applicable
to the one at bar.
III the, evidence shows long con
tinued, wilful and Intentional viola
ton Of the law, Mr.. Wickersham said
In reply to the charge OF confiscation,
"then the decree of the court should
cut It up by the roots. The gov
eminent Is not here asking the con-
tiscation Of their property, but 1t asks
to tear from It the fruits OF its fraud.

SPEAKER CANNON
SHORN OF POWER
Cannot Even be Member Of Rules
Committee.
BUT STILL He is SPEAKER
~ a Vote Of 1o1 to 1855 the House
Adopted Norris Resolution Re-
qulrinO Recognizing Of
Committee.

ney Cannon OF Danville, ILL.,, Is stu
speaker Of the house Of representa-
lives, But he has lost the ancient
prestige and weapon Of that once
when the allied Republican insurgents
and Democrats took from him not only
the Craftsmanship Of, but even mem
Aership in, the all-powerful commit
tao on rules--the chief asset In mis-
stock Of power.
Amid scenes Of widest disorder, for
the like Of which one must go back 10
the exciting days just prior to the
Civil war--even those times might not
duplicate 1.-THE veteran speaker, al
most IA years old, stood erect and de-
iiant, his head "bloodied but unbow'
Cd" At the end, when big Texan
Democrat accepted the speakers dar-
ing challenge and introduced q resolu-
ton to fling him out Of the speaker
ship, the Republican regulars and In
surgents, with few exceptions, rallied
with almost unbroken party front and
gave him a vote which almost Offset
the "repudIation Of Cannonism."
A New Rules Committee.
This Is what happened: BY a vote
Of lO1 to 155 the Republican insur.
gents, voting solldly with the Demo
Gratis, the house adopted the resolu'
ton Of Representative Norris, Re-
publican, Of Nebraska, requiring a re-
organization OF the rules committee,
Increasing its membership from five to
ten and declaring the speaker ineligl
BE to membership thereon.
BY the curiously identical vote OF
l91 to 1856, but with a decidedly diff
ferent personnel OF alignment, the
house defeated resolution Of Repre-
) sentative Burleson OF Texas, declaring
the speakership vacant and ordering
an immediate election Of a successor
to Mr.. Cannon.
The Norris Resolution.
Here is the Norris resolution, which
was adopted,
There shall be committee on rules
elected by the house hitherto the
committee Of FIVE, like all other house
committees, has been appointed by the
speaker, consisting Of ten members,
slx Of whom shall be members Of the
majority party, The speaker shall moi
Be q member Of the committee and the
committee Shall elect It's own chair
man from, its own members. Re-
solved, further, that within ten days
after the adoption Of this resolution
there shall be an election Of this com
mittee and Immediately upon Its cleo
tion the present committee on rules
4 shall be dissolved,
The HIrleson Resolution.
Here Is the resolution Of Represents
tive Burleson, which was defeated;
Resolved that the Office Of speaker
Of the house OF representatives IL
hereby declared to be vacant, and the
house Of representatives shall at once
proceed to the election Of speaker
Mr.. Norris Of Nebraska, author Of
the successful resolution to reorganize
ne rules committee, said in part:

for, all that we expected to get when
We went into the last movement that

lowers are still to be held responsible
