Washington, March S.-The move

In the face of official denials, it is

SUPREME COURT OF UNITED
STATES RULES 1T MUST
DISINCORPORATE.
AS 1t Is Conspiracy in Restrain of
Trade-Case Has Been in Courts for
Years-John D. Rockefeller Started
Company in 1862, With $4ooo-Has
10 Subsidiary Companies.

Washington, May 15.-The Standard
Oil company of New Jersey and its 10
subsidiary companies were declared to-
day by the supreme court of the United
States to be a conspiracy and combina
ton in restraint of trade. They were
otherwise held to be monopolizing In
terstate commerce in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. The dissolu-
tion of the combination was ordered to
take place within six month.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part of the government to put
down by authority of law a combina-
ton claimed to be a menace to the in
dustrial and economic advancement of
the entire country.
At the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
"undue" restraint of trade, and not
"every" restraint of trade. 1t was on
this point that the only discordant note
was heard in the court. Justice Har-
Ian dssented, claiming that cases al
ready decided by the court had de-
termined-once for all-that the word
''undue" or unreasonable or similar
word were not in the statute. He
declared that the reasoning of the
court in arriving at its finding was,
in effect, legislation, which belonged
in every instance to congress and not
to the courts.

ders About Gowns.
Queen Mary has given notice that no
woman who has smoked a cigaret may
come near her. Smoking is so com
mon among London women now after
meals that this order would entail seri-
GUS privation if it could be enforced
1t means that no cigarettes will be al
lowed at any party the queen attends.
Queen Mary IS order about hobble skirts
was disobeyed at the two courts re-
Gently held by all except actual court
ladies. All the rest wore tight skirts,
but their trains covered them. They
say they do not see why they should
make themselves questionable because
the queen herself is abnormally large
around the hips and unsuited to tight
dresses.
Now she has caused it to be known
that she does not wish to see any woman
in low cut dress or big hat in the
royal enclosure at Ascot. Society sim
ply laughs at these edicts, and there ac
tually is a concerted arrangement among
smart women to stand together in dis
obeying the royal attempt to dictate
what they shall wear.
