STANDARD OIL FACES
LAST STAGE IN FIGHT
FOR DISSOLUTION
Great Trust Offers at Bar of
Supreme Court An Appeal
From Missouri Decision
AboIishing 1t
GREAT LEGAL MINDS
THERE TO DEFEND 1T
(Bv Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March 14-Found ny
the lower federal court to be combina-
ton in restraint of trade and monopoly
of a branch of interstate commerce the
Standard Oil company today appeared at
the bar of the supreme court of the
United States to make final argument
against dissolution under the Sherman
antitrust law.
The proceedings before the highest
tribunal of the country are the outgrowth
of years of investigation on the part OF
the government. The immediate origin
of the case was a petition filed in 1906 by
the government in the United States cir
cui tcourt of the eastern district of Mis-
souri, asking for the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Company of New York as
violation of the Sherman antitrust act.
Testimony was taken in st. Louis and
in New York including that of John d.
Rockefeller himself. Four judges had been
called in to pass on the case and they
finally announced a decree, granting sub
stantially all that the government had
asked 1t is from the decree that counsel
for the Standard Oil appealed to the SUI
preme court.
Only eight justices will participate in
the present consideration of the casa.
When Chief Justice Fuller today asked
the counsel to proceed, the chair of Jus
tice Moody, on the extreme right, was va
cant. He is suffering from rheumatism
and has not been able to attend any sit
ting of the court this term.
Every available seat I'm the little room
was occupied. Many attorneys from Il
distance had come to the city to listen
TO the arguments. The defense had pres
ent corps of bright legal minds. headed
by John G.. Johnson, John G. Milburn and
d. T. Watson. On the governments side
there were Attorney General Wickersham
and Frank b. kellogg, who has fought
the case from the first.
Long before the judges took their places
on the bench the 60 seats provided for
spectators were filled and long line had
formed outside the court room by people
hopeful that something would call the ear
Nv arrivals away.

NJ TENDON WILL WIN
IN COURT DECISION,
RUMOR DECLARES
Decision Expected tuesday
and 1t Is Said There Will Be
Four in Favor of Former
Commissioner, Two Against
MANY RUMORS CURRENT
ABOUT THE STATE CAPITOL

On Tuesday, says rumor, the decision
in the quo fwarranto case OF s. Guyt Nc
Tendon, former chairman Of the rail-
road commission. suspended by former
Governor Smith and confirmed in sus-
pension by the state legislature, will
be handed down by the supreme court
of the state. =
Rumor also has it that the decision
will be in favor of Mr.. McLendon. The
former commissioners suit for his Of
flee is aimed at the governors author
ity to dismiss him. and is directed
against the present incumbent of his
seat on the commission, J. f. Gray, of
Savannah demanding that he show le-
gal authority for holding that seat.
1t is also persistently rumored that the
decision of the court will not be unani-
nous, but that dissenting opinion will
be handed down. According to this
same rumor it is said that the court
stands four to two in favor of Mr. Nc
Lendon. Fish, Evans, Beck and Holder
in favor of the ousted commissioner and
Lumpkin and Atkinson contrary.
If the decision is in favor of Mr..
McLendon, he will be reinstated and
will get pay for the time he has been
out He will then have two years to
serve on the term for which he was
elected. Mr.. McLendon has said that IL
he is reinstated he will be a candidate
for reelection at the end of that time.
If the decision goes against Mr.. Nc
Lendon, it will be necessary to elect his
successor for the unexpired portion of
his term, Mr.. Gray having been APP
pointed by Governor Brown to serve till
the next (this approaching general
election.
MAY BE WEDNESDAY.
Where rumor begins and ends, nobody
knows. But rumor had it, Monday morn
ing, that the Georgia supreme court
would on Tuesday morning hand down its
long-expected decision in the McLendon
case. At noon it was again heard that
Wednesday would be the day.
But all the rumors agreed that the de-
cision would be in favor of former Rail-
road Commissioner S. G. McLendon, who
sued through the courts of law to regain
the seat from which he was suspended
by former Governor Hoke Smith and def
nitely left out by the state legislature.

lrumors about this case get their start up
the chmney-fiue or under the door or
through the window cracks. But start
they do, somewhere and none of the
justices takes the trouble to discuss
them.
The latest conjecture is with regard to
what will happen in the organization of
the railroad commission if the decision is
favorable and Mr.. McLendon gets his
seat back. ousting Commissioner Gray,
of Savannah.
Will Mr.. McLendon aspire to the chair
manship of the commission which he held
at the time of his suspension?

him?
