Washington, D. c., Jan. II. = The
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil com.
pany is being heard by the supreme
court today.
The suit under the Sherman anti.
trust law to dissolve the Standard Oil
Organization was instituted in 1906 in
the circuit court of the United States
for the eastern district of Missouri
The proceedings were begun by the
department of justice in the name OF
the United States against ia corpora
tions and seven individuals.
The principal corporation was the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
From 1882 to the present time this
company is said to have operated re
fineries itself, but in 1899 it's stock was
increased to 100000 so as to en-
able it to acquire the stock of nine
teen other oil companies which in turn
owned a large number of companies
concerned in the oil business. The
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
was designated as a holding company
and is similar to the American To
bacco company, the organization oi
which was considered by the court dur
ing the last few days.
The seven individuals in the suit as
defendants were John d. Rockefeller
William Rockefeller, Henry NJ. Flag
Ter, Henry H. Rogers, John A. Archi
bold, Oliver H. Payne, and Charles M
Pratt. The part these men are said tt
have played in the alleged violation
of the Sherman antitrust law has beer
summarized by the government as fol
lows:
About 1870 the Rockefellers ant
Flagler conceived the purpose of con
trolling the petroleum trade, both do
nestle and export, and obtaining
monopoly thereof. They entered int
conspiracy to accomplish TINS pur
pose, which from time to time tool
the form of various combinations
Shortly after 1870 the Rockefellers ant
Flagler were joined in the conspirac,
| by Rogers, Archibold, Payne ant
Pratt.
The form which the alleged con
spiracy took is described by the gov
ernment as being from 1870 to 1882
"a combination between large mum
Der of manufacturers, who acted il
harmony and whose stock interest
were pooled in the hands of thre
trustees in 1879" From 1882 to 1895
the form of the alleged continuation
was that of a trust agreement, where
