RECORD IS VOLUM|NOUS
IN STANDARD OIL CASE
Supreme Court Avoids the
Reading of Entire History.
Arguments Today.

Members OF the Supreme Court or the
United States have baked at reading the
entire record in the dissolution suit
against the Standard Oil companies. The
court today entered into the fourth day
of oral argument In the case. It takes
twenty-five large volumes of more than
500 pages each to tell the history OF the
litigation. Spread out In a line. these
volumes extend half way across the coun-
sel's table in front Of the court.
AS the gaze of Chief Justice White fell
upon them, he inquired OF John g. Mil

to 60 over the entire record. Mr.. Mil
burn replied that It would not

Of the Highest Order.
Some one from the bench inquired If the
attorneys for the Standard OIL were de-
void Of literary ability. When Mr.. Frank
B.. Kellogg, the governments special
trust buster" was addressing the court
he assured the bench that the literary
ability Of the opposing counsel was Of the
highest order, and that only the govern
ment's brief told the cold, unbiased facts.
The court let it be understood that 1t
probably would refer to the record ire
auently in digesting the briefs.
Mr.. kellogg today resumed his argument
in advocacy of the dissolution OF the
Standard Oil Company. He continued to
dwell upon what he claimed were the
unfair methods Of competition employ
ed By the corporation, particularly dis
criminatory rates in transportation.

Building Here Proposed.

A matter Of Importance to Washington
will be the consideration, possibly. of
plans for the erection of a temple to Ia
Dor here, which was left to the council
to consider at the close of the national
meeting Of the federation in. st. Louis.
1t Is the consensus Of opinion Of the cOun-
Gil that such a building is a necessity
for the home Of the federation here at
the National Capital, not only because OF
its striking appropriateness, but because
of the objections and annoyances that al
ways result from the calling OF the ses-
sions Of the federation in cities where the
accommodations are often unsatisfactory.
Questions to be considered are those
affecting the International Order oil
Electrical Workers and the trouble be-
tween the Brotherhood OF Carpenters
and the Amalgamated Society OF Car
penters and Joiners.
Another matter Of interest to the
federation leaders is the growing de-
mand among organized labor advocates
for a closer and more effective interest
in state and national elections. 1t has
been the policy and aim of President
Gompers Of the federation to swing the
influence and power Of the organized
labor Of the country into the election
contests Of the country to secure in the
halls Of state and national legislatures
men friendly to the cause of organized
labor At the session OF the council 1t
will not be surprising il further plan
ming along lines already carried out
will come up for discussion.

a way as to make the two groups as
 nearly as possible equal in physique
 The exceptionally weak and those hav-
 ing had long tropical experience were
 excluded.
 A comparison of the sick reports showed insignificant differences be- tween the two groups, except that there was a higher admission rate for heat exhaustion among those wearing the orange-red underclothing than among the controls. Those wearing orange-red suffered more from perspi- ration than those wearing white, and extensive experiments, both on and off the body, showed that exposure to the sun caused a greater temperature beneath the colored garments than be- meath similar white material The fall in blood-pressure as well as the increase in red blood-cells and dimin- ution in percentage of hemoglobin which the unacclimated suffer in the tropics was more apparent among the wearers of the orange-red than among the controls. The former also show ed a tendency to lose weight more rap idly than the latter Fifteen hundred observations showed temperature, pulse and respiration to be slightly higher for the orange-red group than for the controls. The impressions of the individual wearers were. on the whole, decidedly adverse to the colored underwear There were only six teen men who preferred it to the white. Fifty-four expressed no choice, but the remainder, constituting nearly four hundred men, expressed their dis approval. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that it was more uncom- fortable, the discomfort being, in the main, attributed to the excessive per spiration which it caused. It is sig nificant that no organization icom- mander saw any benefit from its use, and that of sixteen officers who gave it a personal trial there was only one who expressed approval.
 The medical officers who conducted the experiments reached the general conclusion that the test underclothing was of no material value, but that, on the contrary. it increased the bur- den of heat which the system was to endure. They are of the opinion that the suns rays alone are not responsible for the physiologic eff fects of the climate in the Philippines and that even if the actinic rays have any influence at all on the system the campaign hat and the khaki uni- form constitute a sufficient protection against them.-Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association, May 20.

The Ten Commandments
 'In the Light of Reason
A Letter from Ex-Attorney- General Monnett, of Ohio, Who Drove Standard Oil Out of It's Native State.
Columbus, Ohio, May 22.

| To the Editor New York American: Sir-The Ten Commandments might 1 be construed as follows under author ity of the decision of the United States | Supreme Court in the case of the Standard Oil Company vs. the United States:
 First Commandment-Th shalt | have no unreasonable number of other gods before Me.
 | Second Commandment-Th shalt not make any graven image or any unrea sonable likeness of anything that 1 is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the wa ters under the earth: thou shalt not | unreasonably bow down myself to | them. nor serve them any more than is for thy convenience. for the Lord thy God is occasionally a jealous God, visiting the unreasonable iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto a reasonable number of generations of them that unreasonably hate him. Third Comma mandment-Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain unreasonably.
 Fourth Commandment-Six days shalt thou labor. so long as such re- quirement is reasonable. But the seventh day is the Sabbath; in it thou shall not do any more work than thou dost on a week day, but thy man servant, thy maid servant, thy cattle and the stranger within thy gates shall do such a reasonable amount as yields unto thee the highest degree of comfort
 Fifth Commandment - Reasonably honor thy father and thy mother, but do so in great obscurity, that they may not interfere with thy daughters social standing or spoil your sons matrimonial alliance. that thy prey may be long upon the land which the Lord. through reasonable monopoly, giveth thee
 Sixth COmmandment-ThOu shalt not kill more than a reasonable number of thy competitors, not more than will give you a coReplete monopoly of the business.
 Seventh nHsnandment-Thou shalt not commit adultery to an unreason- able degree.
 Eighth mandment-Thou shalt not steal an unreasonable amount and thou shalt not be prosecuted therefor after you are I3ound guilty, if it shall in any way disturb big business.
 Ninth Commandment = Thou shalt not unreasonably bear false witness against thy neighbor unless he be a competitor; thou shalt not bear any witness against myself, whatsoever, if it tend to incriminate thee.
 Tenth Commandment - Thou shalt not unreasonably covet thy neighbours house, nor thy neighbours wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid ser want nor his OK, nor his ass, nor any thing that is try neighbor's If you can organize pipe line of New Jersey corporation, that will choke thy neighbor from marketing his goods or buying the finished products, this will not be cOvetous.

THE USE OF ORANGE-RED UN
 DEIRCLOTHING IN TROPICS.

The theory of Woodruff, that the de- terioration of the white man in the tropics is due more to the actinic rays of the sun than to exposure to exces- sive heat has found many adherents With the view of aScertaining the truth or falsity of this hypothesis. the experiments conducted in the Philip pines by the Medical Corps of the , Army were continued for over year. and the results are embodied in the last annual report of the Surgeon Gen. eral Of the Army.
 Orange-red underclothing and hat Things were chosen on account of the known resistance of this color to the actinic rays of the sun. The tests were carried out by making compar- isons between 800 soldiers equipped with these garments and 800 controls using white. care being taken to choose the two sets of men from the same companies and to divide them in such
