Supreme Court Of United States
Today Decides It Has Juris-
dictioD in the Pro.
ceedings
LOWER COURT DECREE UPHELD
Company Declared Guilty Of Violating
First and Second Sections of An
Thrust Law Combina-
tion and Monopoly.

Washington, d. c., May 15.-.The
government today won its case I'm the
supreme court of the u. $. against the
Standard OIL in that it is a conspiracy
and monopoly in restraint of trade.
The decree OF the lower court was af-
frmed, being modified in particulars
which Chief Justice White said were
very slight indeed. Justice Harlan an
nounced a dissenting opinion.
Chief Justice White, after an extern
siVe recital of the facts In the Stan
dard oil case, held that court had jur-
isdiction over the suit which had been
questioned by the Standard oil.
Taking up the first and second sec
tions of the Sherman antitrust law,
upon which the court decided to base
its decision. White reviewed to law as
it applies to the present case.
Suit Instituted in 1906.
The suit which called forth today's
decision was instituted In 1906 I'm the
United. Circuit Court for the Eastern
District of Missouri. 1t was brought
immediate object was to dissolve the
Standard oil company of New Jersey.
From the very beginning, the bus
mess and legal world recognized that
the suits put the Sherman antitrust
law To the most severe test TO which
1t had been subjected The law had
been on the statute book since 1890
and had been the basis of some eight
cen suits finally passed upon by the
Supreme Court OF the United States.
That the law was constitutional was
accepted as settled by the decisions.
but simple as the words of the statute
seemed. there was an absence of unan-
unity in regard to its Interpretation.
With that situation confronting the
government and the defendants, the
suit was begun with the general be-
lief that the entire business world
would feel the effect of the outcome of
the gigantic struggle.
Claim of Government.
The government claimed that two
sections of the Sherman antitrust
law had been violated The first sec
tion reads as follows:
Every contract combination in the
form of trust or otherwise. or conspir-
acy, in restraint of trade or commerce
among the several states. or with for
eign nations, is hereby declared to be
Illegal"
The second section reads:
"

corporations) who shall monopolize, or
attempt to monopolize or combine or
conspire with any other person or per-
sons, to monopolize, any part of trade
or commerce among the several states,
or with foreign nations, shall be deem
ed guilty of misdemeanor."

First to Cross Proposed Ferry

Mcssls. II. V. Reid and j. r. Mer-

While these gentlemen were out
riding in an EVeritt roadster Sunday
morning they decided to run to the
swamp leading to Gamers Ferry and
after arriving there they found that
the road through the swamp was so
good that they decided to go t. the
river, which they did.
ON arriving at the river they met
Mr.. House, who is in charge of a gang
which is now working on the cross
ing. Mr.. House very kindly had the
machine fcrried across the river. Af-
ter riding Il short time on the Rich
land side Messrs. Reid and Mercer re-
turned the ear and were fcrried back
across the Wateree. These gentle
men were very much surprised at the
GOOD condition which the swamp
road is now in, ana the gentlemen
who are building this crossing de-
serve much credit for the way they
are pushing the work which gives
Sumter people a shorter route TO our
capital city.
The distance from the river To the
city limits of Sumter was measured
