question of eliminating the grade cross
ing will be taken up with the railroad
company. The citizens of Elkridge are
DESTROYS of having the Washington road
made certain grade through the town
limits, and the failure of the commission
to provide this specific grade, it is said,
will result in an attempt on the part OF
the Eldridge citizens to obtain an injunc-
. ton, which would tie up the funds under
which State Road No. is being con-
structed.
The Hassam Paving Company has
already under contract the section OF the
Annapolis road north from Severn river.

High Court Knocks Out the Oil
Trust

The Standard Oil Company, of New
Jersey, comprising 80 allied corporations,
and representing an aggregate capital OF
5000 ooo, 900, must dissolve. and its bus
mess must be restored to the subsidiary
concerns.
Such is the decision of the United
States Supreme Court, which was an
nounced on Monday last, the 18th inst,
in the most important and far reaching
opinion ever handed down by that
tribunal In its decision the court holds:
That the Standard Oil Company is a
monopoly in the restraint of trade.
That this giant corporation must be
dissolved within six months.
Corporations whose contracts are mot
unreasonably restrictive of competition"
are not affected.
Other great corporations whose acts
may be called into question will be dealt
with according to the merits of their
particular cases.
The order for dissolution was based
on two legal reasons:
First-That it is combination in re-
straint of trade under the first section OF
the Sherman Act.
Second-That because of It's activities
as a combination, it has become a mo-
nopoly in resistant of trade under the
second section OF the Sherman Act.
The court was I'm .nimous as to the
main features of the decision. Justice
Harlan dissenting only as to limitation
OF the application of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law. The decision was read by
Chief Justice White.
OTHER DECISIONS.

the punishment for disobedience of an
Injunction issued as collateral parts of a
civil suit, this decision setting free Com

nectlon with the Buck Company's boy
colt case.
That officials of corporations cannot
refuse to give up possession nf the
books aud papers for examination by
the Grand Juries on the plea that they
might incriminate themselves.
That State officials interfere with Inter
State Commerce, in refusing to allow
natural gas to be piped across the
State lines.
That SO far as Louisiana is concerned,
and the decision may be extended to
other States, nonresident insurance
companies must paw taxes upon pre-
miums due under open accounts.
That the full 'blooded Indian has not
yet been brought to the point where his
rights are equal to those OF the white

PRESIDENT TAFT takes issue with the
American Federation of Labor as to
the propriety of the use of the strike
and boycott by the government en-
ployes against the government itself to
compel compliance with their demands
for more suitable treatment or larger
wages. There is no dispute of the right
OF associated civic servants to take con-
certed action for the Improvement of the
Civil Service, or to quit the service if
they are dissatisfied But they must not
carry persuasion TO the point of compul-
sion. That wauld be a revolutionary
proceeding. II might at any time block
the wheels of the government. 1t might
be employed in the navy or in the army
for coercive purposes, or for substituting
the rule of the sword for the rule of law.
The American people are not vet ready
to substitute Gomperian for constitutional
methods.

uatIons Tor peace have been started, In

SCHOONER'S CREW SAVED
BY THE BREECHES BUOY
Withere1l Goes Ashore During Fog
at Entrance to Della
ware Breakwater.

LEWEs, Del. April 22.-Drtven by an
easterly gale through a thick fog, the
s1x-hundred-ton schooner c. D. WMher-
ell, from New York for Philadelphia,
missed the entrance to the Delaware
breakwater early today, piled up on the
treacherous Fenwick Island shoals,
twenty miles south Of Cape Henlopen,
and is now slowly breaking up. The
seven men comprising the crew were
rescued with difficulty by means Of the
breeches buoy.
The Fenwick Island life savers were
keeping a sharp watch for distressed
ships when the Witherell appeared
through the fog and ran upon the sandy
reef
Capt. Parsons of the W.therell sig
nailed that the schooner was filing and
in danger Of going 70 pieces. The sea
was too high to launch the lifeboat and
as the white-capped breakers were sweep
ing over the vessel it was decided by the
life savers to take the crew off with the
breecheS buoy. The work was slow and
difficult but all seven men We're brought
to shore without mishap and are being
cared for pending word from the vessels
agents.
The schooner was built i'm Bath. Me-.
in 1874 and on account of her age will
not last long in the tumbling sea that
is battering her. Boston is her home
port.
