KELLOGG ATTACKS
OIL TRUST TRICKS
Counsel Shows That Pipe Line
Stations We're Located Far
From Refineries
Products Sold at Loss in Los
Angeles Because Octopus
Had Competition

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Holding
up the Standard oil company OF New
Jersey as a danger to the country and
its organization as a commercial prece-
dent that should be eradicated from
the business world, Frank B. kellogg
arraigned the corporation today before
the supreme court Of the United States.
It was the governments turn to be
heard in the argument over the disso-
luton Of the company, as decreed by
the circuit court of the United States
for the eastern district of Missouri.
Except about 30 minutes that John
9. MiIburn consumed at the beginning
OF the Sitting in the conclusion of his
opening address, and about an equal
length Of time occupied by d. T. Wat
son. at the close of the bay, both in
defense of the Standard oil, all the
time was taken up by Kellogg.
NTCkERSHAM TO CLOSE CASE
He gave a history OF the Standard
oil and its activities. with frequent
comments on the law Of the case. He
seemed inclined to leave many of the
legal points for discussion by Attorney
General Wickersham. who is to close
the case for the government tomorrow
The court manifested keen interest
in the case by subjecting counsel to
a series OF queries, particularly with
regard to the common ownership
claimed by the Standard oil counsel.
and the meaning that should be given
the word monopoly" used, in the
Sherman antitrust act.
SHARP CONFLICT By COUNSEL
The day brought out a sharp con-
fict of purposes between the govern
mcnt and STANDARD oil. Kellogg, on
hafa1 n ftf he dHyelt
the activities OF the corporation to
prove an intent to monopolize while
t5e Standard oil counsel contended that
sucn matters were not before the court
Kellogg charged that the Standard
oil. since its pipe lines had been made
common carriers. had established de-
livery stations at "outlandish places,
where nobody ever had a refinery"
Their rates were prohibitive. coun-
sci said, and thai was the reason ap-
plications to use the pipe lines had
not been made by Independents.
Railroad rates. as means of unfair
competition, were next considered.
Kellogg spoke of the number of Stand
ard oil officials in many railroads and
then returned to what he called the
unfair methods of competition.
As an example. he told of the Stand
ard selling oil at a LOSS in Los Angeles,
where there was CON petition. and at
a profit in Portland. Or. and Seattle,
where there was no competition.
BOGUS CONCERNS ATTACKED
Alleged bogus independent companies
organized by the Standard were like
wise classed as dangerous TO competi-
tiOn.
The 20 minutes OCCUPIED by D. T.
Watson for the company were devoted
70 the argument that the only thing
the circuit court below held TO be in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law was the combination of 1899. He
Maintained that no other point was
before the supreme court. and as he
described il, ''the things Kellogg has
spent three f1ourths Of his time talking
about have nothing to do with the is
sue"

SAN JOSE OFFICERS
CAPTURE SUSPECT

Who Murdered Watchman
Whybark at Santa Clara
Special Dispatch. TO The Call

OpeCtQt DfSpQtCNs 10 i nc Suu
SAN JOSE, March 15.-Micky Doyle,
alias Kid Johnson, former convict,
was arrested at Gilroy at 10 o'clock this
morning upon suspicion that he is the
man who killed Night Watchman
George w. Whybark at Santa Clara
early yesterday morning. He will be
brought to the county Jail in this city
tomorrow morning.
Constable White, who is one of the
oldest and most experienced officers in
the south Santa Clara valley, reports
that the prisoner tells conflicting
stories. He was caught riding on top
of a passenger train which had left
San Jose at o'clock and was forced
to surrender at the point of a shotgun.
The officers were led astray yester-
day by the dogs which were placed on
the trail. These were not bloodhounds
as was reported but We're Siberian
Danes. When they were turned loose
they Immediately set out for their home,
Phyle's roadhouse In the Alviso road.
Coroner Kell of Santa Clara county
after swearing in jury this morning
postponed the inquest over the body of
Whybark until next Friday afternoon
at o'clock. Tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock the members of Liberty lodge
No. 229, F. & A. /. NJ, will pay their
last respects to the dead men and the
body of the officer will be borne to the
little cemetery at San Lorenzo.
The $500 reward offered by Santa
Clara's town council for the arrest and
conviction of the murderer has proved
an incentive to amateur effort and
number were today working on various
clews.
James Perreira, owner of the. Per
reira bottling works at the corner of
Franklin and Alviso streets, Santa
Slara, directly across from the scene
of the murder, says Whybark fired the
first shot.
Constable Lyle spent this afternoon
and evening hunting for a suspect who
was seen at Coyote creek early yes
terday morning and again on the streets
of San Jose last night.

The mayor was amused by a story
printed in a weekly paper, designed to
show that the collection of the city's
rentals was given to the firm of Trevor
& Sloan, because Fred Boeekman,
president of the ghost Sutter street
railroad company, was the principal
stock holder in Trevor & Sloan and be-
cause l. F. Byington. brother in law
of Tirey L. Ford, was also a member
of that firm.
There is not enough involved in that
transaction to keep even ghost NOV
ing" said the mayor. 1T is not true
that Mayor Taylor's secretary collected
those rentals. They have been collected
by private firms on commission for
years. Trevor & Sloan did not collect
any of them until after an ordinance
had been passed authorizing the ap-
pointment of a collector. do not know

Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

-
PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-Nego-
tiations for a termination of the car
strike failed miserably today, and the
streetcar situation seems as hopeless
as it has been at any time since the
transit trouble began. While the com
pany claims that it operated more cars
today than at any time since the trou-
Bile started, there were a number of
accidents.
An unidentified woman was killed in
one accident today. She was struck by
a car and died instantly.
There were a number of desertionS
in the ranks of the strikers today, but
the labor leaders declared that these
were more than counterbalanced by
accessions to the ranks of the strikers.
President E. E. Greenawalt of the
state federation of labor tonight issued
a call to the unions of the state to
take a general strike vote and hold
themselves in readiness respond to
call for state wide sympathetic
strike, which was authorized by the
recent convention of the state fedora
tion at Newcastle.
CONFERENCE FAILS OF RESULT
A conference between officers of the
union and of the traction company was
arranged for today by George III. Earle,
who Is the .city's representative on the
board of directors of the traction COM
pany. 1t was hopeless affair, and at
the conclusion of the meeting officials
of the company charged Earle with in
ducing President Kruger to attend the
meeting under Misrepresentation.
The union and company split most
emphatically upon the terms on which
the men would be taken back. The
union wanted the men back on their
own runs and w. D. Mahon, president

Remains President of Illinois
Central, but Loses Powers
to Vice President

NEW YORK, March 15.--W. L. Park,
until recently general superintendent of
the Union Pacific, is now the virtual
head of the Illinois Central railroad,
according to gossip in Wall street, al
though J. T. Harahan holds the title
of president. Rumors have been cur
rent of late that Harahans was to retire
and today this announcement was
made:
AT a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Illinois Central held in
New York March Z, w. L. Park was
elected vice president with offices in
Chicago and as such will have charge
and supervision of the transportation,
maintenance, motive. power, construc-
tion, purchasing and pension depart
ments of the company
This virtually places Park in charge
of the road, superseding in authority,
at least, Harahan, who was made presi-
dent by E. H. Hartman after the his
toric fight with Stuyvesant Fish in
1906.

carried on in the very best spirit and

NThe union wanted all the men not

and the company would never agree to

SCORE CITY REPRESENTATIVE
Officials of the transit company ex-
pressed their displeasure at Director
Earle for placing President Kruger In
a position of treating with the striking
motormen and conductors. A repre-
sentative of the company declared: IF
there was any chance-and there really
appeared to be a good one yesterday
of clearing up this situation and end
ing this strike by tomorrow night, it
has been totally killed by the action
of George H. Earle and Edward Lowber

Earle has placed the board In a very
