Washington. March 15.-Holding up
the Standard Oil Company OF New
Jersey as a danger to the country and
its organization as "a commercial para
site that must be eradicated from the
business world, Frank B. Kellogg to-
day arraigned the corporation before
the United States supreme court in
the governments argument over the
dissolution Of the Standard Oil Co. as
decreed by the circuitz court of the
United States for the eastern district
of Missouri.
Kellogg gave the history of the cor
poration and its activities Wn1eh he de-
nominated as monopolistic. Frequent
ly he led off into the law fsthe case,
but seemed inclined to leave many or
these points for the discussion of At
torney General Wickersham, who
closes for the government tomorrow.
With the exception Of a few closing
words by John G. Milburn for the com.
pany, the entire time today was set
aside for Frank B. Kellogg on behalf
of the government.
Mr. Kellogg has had immediate
charge of the suit against the STANDARD
Oil Company from the time the petit
tion. for dissolution was fled by the
government In 1906 He conducted
John d. Rockefeller's examination in
New York and made the principal argu-
ment for the government when the
suit was won in the lower court.

Circuit Clerk James Macgdbbon Gre.
ated some interest last night at
meeting of the board of county COM
missioners when he called attention
to the fact that a set of original
specifications covering the construc-
tion of steel cells for the new coun-
ty Jail did not correspond with an
other copy of the specification, his no
tation on paragraph being this item
does not tally with original specifca-
tion." It was shown to Mr.. Benz, the
architect, who was present. and he ex-
planned that It was an error. The
discrepancy was in a paragraph on
page 46 of the original specifications.
In the first specifications the para
graph was worded as follows: "AIl
of the grated work showing in ends
and outside sides of the prisoners ex.
ercise corridor and the entry of the
utility corridor to be constructed OF
one and one-half inch diameter 5-ply
tool-proof stell bars" and in the
copies, or "addenda," as the architect
termed 1t, and which had been furn-
ished, according to Mr.. Benz, to all
bidders, the bars were narrowed to
one inch size. It was asserted that
the smaller bar would represent big
difference in the figures in the cell
furnishings and construction, and
when this became known, the board
Immediately got busy. The specffica-i
tions were compared and the notation
of Mr.. Macgibbon was read. The coun-
ty attorney was called In and he was
told of the apparent difference. Mr..
Benz said that he was positive all
bidders had received copies of the ad-
denda, and that all bids for the steel
work were on the basis OF one-inch
bars. That did not satisfy the board,
apparently, and the county attorney
said that he would find out about it.
As it happened. j. J. Lang. the. gen.
eral agent for the Pauly JAN Works
Company, which firm had been given
the work of furnishing the steel cells,
was in the city. He had been at the
meeting when it was called to order,
but left. When 1t was proposed that
he would know something of 1t. Mr..
Benz telephoned him. He was at the
San Carlos, and inside of two min
utes was in the meeting room. He
said positively that the one-inch bars
had been sent his firm in specifica-
tions Asked Ii he had received the
one-inch bar proposal. he said: yes.
it went to us. We got 1t and / sup
Also Mr. Benz said that he had made
copies of the specifications and was
quite positive that the one-inch bar
was specified.
"That satisfies me; I don't know
how the board feels about ity' remark
ed the county attorney 81 believe it's
all right, myself" said Commissions
er Steward. The matter rested there.
PAID IN FULL.
Architect Benz asked for the amount
due him, balance of $329.76. This
was ordered paid. This represented
the balance due on the plans as ac-
cepted by the board. which, up to date
makes a total of $3,629.76 that the
plans for the jail have cost.
SOME EXTRAS.
The board did not have any impor-
tant business before it outside of the
jail construction matters. It owas
thought that Representatives of the

Chicago. March 15.-Danger of an
Immediate strike of twenty-seven
thousand locomotive fremen on all

throwing out of employment more
than one hundred and twenty-five
thousand, and other employees, was
averted today through the acceptance
Of mediation from the federal authori-
ties at Washington. At the request of
the general managers of fifty-seven
railroads involved, Mr.. Knapp. of tho
interstate commerce commission, and
Commissioner of Labor Neill, tele-
graphed an offer of federal mediation
to the union officers. The offer was
accepted, stipulating that action must
begin without delay.
The appeal to Washington was
taken In the eleventh hour. prevent
ing a walkout, which threatened the
greatest railroad strike since 1894.
Thirty-seven members of. the West

formally voted for the strike.
The hour of the strike had been set
for Monday morning. The mediators
are to come to this city and arbitrate.

determine what may be arbitrated. IL
the mediation fails the strike will
commence as planned, according to

Committee, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir-Your letter of March 4th
wherein you say that the managers
committee reaffirmed it's former re-
fusal to arbitrate all matters in con-
troversy has been received and has
been given serious consideration, The
refusal of the managers committee
to arbitrate article two and article
three on the plea that another organi-
zation's interests are involved will not
be accepted by our committee for the
reason that We are only requesting the
restoration of rule and practice
which our members have always en-
toyed until recently. when railroad
managers advocated the notification
of such rules, thereby depositing GER
tain enginemen of rights which are
accorded to every other emp'oye in
the service of the railways represent
ed by the managers committee.
Our committee authorizes me to
express to the managers committee
regret that our conferences are thus
brought to a close without having
reached a solution of the matters in
dispute and to advise that our COM
mittee has authorized the men affect
ed to withdrawn from the SER
vice. (Signed)
