reason that distributors refuse to stock
up freely at present high prices. Both
cotton and wooden goods have shown
a slight weakening In values, which it
need hardly be said is unsatisfactory

the present small margin between raw
materials and finished product and the

Dads are already appearing as
more active buyers, and with the dis
appearance of winter construction work

trade has turned the corner and will
enjoy several months of continued act

In the money market conditions are
also satisfactory, and aside from the
usual temporary stringency about the
first of April the outlook is for con-
tinued easy rates until changed condi-
tons assert themselves. The for

still a source of some dissatisfaction
because of large imports and small ex-
ports, and this situation is not likely
to be cirrected while the price level in
the United States is SO much above

must rise to a closer parity with ours,
or our own prices must recede, which

as just said, is easy notwithstanding
this weeks loss of gold to the bank

more satisfactory since the January

Dissolution Order
Meets Opposition

WASHINGTON, Mar. S.--Basing it's
case largely on it's claim that the cor
porations merged with the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey in 1899
were non-competing at that time, and
on the allegation that the interpreta-
ton given to the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower court would strike
down organized business, the Stand
ard Oil company today filed in the SUI
preme court of the United States it's
brief against the dissolution of that
organization.
This dissolution was ordered by the
circuit court of the United States for
the eastern district of Missouri on a
petition filed by the government in
1906 Whether the decree of disso-
luton shall stand will come up Mon
day for oral argument
Frank B. Kellogg is now putting the
finishing touches on the brief of the
government, while Attorney General
Wickersham is understood to be pre-
pairing an oral argument of the case.
Owned by Same People.
The argument of counsel for the
STANDARD Or in support of the con-
tention that the corporation whose
stocks were exchanged in 1899 for
stock in the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, were nom competitors, is
! based on the assertion that they were
all owned at that time in the same
proportion and by the same people
who owned the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey.

SON OF DAYTON RESIDENTS
VICTIM OF WELLINGTON SLIDE

DAYTON, Wash, March S.-Spec-
ial)-Cherished memories awakened
by the celebration a week ago of their
golden wedding anniversary, were
turned to pangs of grief when Mr..
and Mrs. Albert H. Jarnagin, pioneers
of this state, living here, received
word that their son, B. F. Jarnagin,
was one of the Wellington victims.
He was employed as an engineer on
one of the i'll fated Great Northern
trains The parents. both of whom
have almost reached the four score

Word was received by them today
that the body of their son had been

Methods Only Changed.
Point after point is made by coun-
sci, in an attempt to prove that the
seven individual defendants did moth
ing more than change their method of
business in 1899.
Seven men, controlling for 5000
people, 70 parcels of property devoted
to private business enterprise and for
which the 5000 hold trust certificates
of trustees, in 1899, determine that
thereafter the 5000 shall hold stock
certificates of the New Jersey Stand
ard Oil company for the same proper
ties in the same proportions and with
the same power and management.
Neither the 5000 owners nor the
seven managers gained any new power
or property or changed their status or
smothered competition by the change,
but they did gain, as they think, an
easier and more economic method of
holding and managing the properties.
They did not intend to- nor did they,
manage the properties after 1899, ex-
cept as they managed them before and
they had no idea of restricting COM

properties, because there was none to

The counsel for the STANDARD Oil"
contend that competition is the striv-
ing of two or more persons, or cor
porations, for trade. The ownership
of properties. it is contended in the
brief, is wholly under the laws of the
state and congress cannot. and does
not, pretend to regulate their acquisi-

Maine? Further examination OF the
big craft which is lying partly sub
merged at Olongopo, in Subig Bay
has strengthened the belief that the
damage was done deliberately by a
band of conspirators against the

Army and navy men here are 10th
to talk about the affair, but it is
known that many of them hold the
opinion that the dry dock was
blown up by torpedo or a hidden
mine.
1t was at first suspected that the
valves had been opened purposely,
and the dock allowed to sink. lnves-
tigation shows that, while the valves
leaked slightly, they had not been
opened. The leakage was not sutfi-
cient to cause the dock TO sink. II is
pointed out that the dock went down
more rapidly than it would have
done had all the valves been opened.
