OIL "TRusT" NO MORE.
All Standard Companies Now Under
Separate Manaqoments.

All Standard Companies now Onoer
Separate Managsmsnts.
New York, Dec. 1.-The career Of the
''oi! trust" officially came to an end
yesterday. The Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, sometimes called the
father Of trusts and perhaps the most
celebrated corporation In the world.
will no longer control the affairs. as
the holding company, of more than
thirty corporations In various branches
of the oil business. Beginning today
these subsidiaries, which under the de-
cree Of the United States supreme
court must conduct independently the
various enterprises. will assume entire
management of their own affairs.
The oil trust theoretically passed out
of existence on Aug. 81, when the books
containing the records Of the COM
pany's stockholders were closed for
distribution of the stock Of the subsi-
diaries, but during the intervening Pc
riod Of readjustment, it was necessary
to preserve the old form to large
exent. Now the work of disintegration
has been completed The stock issues
representing the subsidiaries will pass
into the hands Of owners of old Stand :
ard Oil stock today and the threads
which have long bound tho old COM
panies together will be severed.
The task of effecting dissolution was
made less difficult by the fact that
the subsidiary companies never had
lost their identity. They Ehave retain
ed their separate offices and boards of
directors and to a large extent have
conducted their own affairs from their
home offices, in whatever states they
were. These companies, However, have
had representation at &c broadway, the
home Of the New Jersey corporation
which exercised general direction over
their affairs. 1t is this connection
which will end. Subsidiaries which
have not already surrendered their OF
fices at 26 Broadway will do so and
henceforth the affairs OF each company
will be conducted in its, home state.
The Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey will continue to exist, as It
owns several large plants.
To each stockholder will be forward
ed today, his proportionate share Of
stock in each Of the subsidiaries, 80
that in place Of one issue Of stock he
will have more than thirty. The SUBJ
salaries will continue to exist as here
tofore, except that in cases where the
same men have acted as officers or di-.
rectors of more than one company.
changes will be made to avoid such
duplication.
In the removal of officials Of sub
salaries who have had their offices at
2S Broadway large number OF NEE
who for years have lived in New York
will be affected Scores Of officials
and clerks will be transferred to other,

Los Angeles, Dec. IA bit Of twisted
wire, dangling slantwise from an up
per window, led to an investigation by
counsel defending James b. Mcnamara,
which convinced them that the walls
Of the Los Angeles county jail have
ears, or. any way. one ear. which has
heard many confidential speeches.
The wire runs from window in an
unoccupied cellroom on the third floor
Of the jail down to another unoccupied
room on the second floor.

Manigal, who is perhaps the states
n,ainstay In an attempt to show that
McNar1ara caused the death of Charles
j. Haggerty by blowing up the Los
Angeles Times building, saw him in
the upper room.
A detective mad perhaps a stenog-
rapher were in the lower one, but for
all practical purposes the wire trans
ported them into the very presence OF
persons who talked to McManigal while
the grand Jury was in session. This is
the declaration OF the defense. which, to
be sure, has not much documentary ev-
idence except a picture Of the dangling
wire, but 1t also il virtually conceded
by the state.
II should not wonder bit II you're
right" said District Attorney Fred

been used in this manner. There
should be nothing unusual about that
Ever see one? There's just a round
disc attached to the window shade or
against the pane or anywhere-no one
would notice it-and the wire leading
to some other place. It's interesting"
What this device has meant to the
state became manifest upon inspection

coerced him by threats OF separation
into signing a note asking Clarence y.
Darrow. chief OF counsel for the de-
Tense. to com to see him. It is the
theory OF the counsel for the defense
that this interview was transcribed on
the floor below almo.t before Mrs. Nc
Manigal was out Of he jail. McMani-
gal short time later repudiated the
request.
It was when McManigafs uncle,
railroad engineer. visited him, however,
that the defense had its first mixing OF
what had been arranged by the state.
The uncle was taken before the grand
Jury and emerged the most astonishing
man IN town.
'They asked me about things said

for the present. No one is able to fore
cast the ultimate effect Of the dissolu-
ton. whether Il will have any bearing
upon retan prices or upon the relation

compliance with the Russian demand,
but some Of the members pointed out
that England's advice had heretofore
only led to Persion humiliation. They
been ruisinformed and emphatically as
serted that Russian injustice had be-
come intolerable. They thought that
resistance on the part Of the Persian
government to the Russian demands
would awaken foreign attention and
lad 10 an impartial inquiry. Compii-
ance on the other hand would be con-
strued as sign of abjeot cowara!ce
and would mean national suicide.
