Conditions and General Forecast.

Washington, May 16.-The weather
map of Tuesday shows an extensive
belt of high pressure over the middle
ATTITUDES of the Atlantic ocean and the
south portion of the United States and
low pressure over the northern lati-
tu1es of the Atlantic ocean and the
northwest portion of the United States
This pressure distribution is causing
general northward flow of air over
the United States east of the Rocky
mountains. Until radical change
takes place in the pressure distribu
ton. warm weather will continue. I'm
settled weather is probably in the
North Atlantic states. although there
is little likelihood of more than light
local showers in this region elsewhere
the weather will be generally fair
Wednesday and Thursday.

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
OF the Standard Officials May Be
Brought by Government

Washington May 16.-Atty. Cen
Wickersham may consider criminal
prosecution of the officials of the
Standard oil Company. 1t was learned
today that some of the officials of the
government hold that there is oppor-
tunity for such u proceeding under
the decision given by the supreme
court yesterday.
What position the attorney general
will take is not known. 1t is said
that in event thas the oil trust of
ficials should plead immunity under
the statute of limitations the govern
ment could take the position that tie

a continuing conspiracy until the

There is no authority fer the state

Senator Gallinger in turn demand
ed that some of those who have
made vigorous Efforts to accelerate
public opinion in favor of reciprocity
shouid be asked to appear before the
committee.
Senator Williams retorted that un-
der these circumstances, President
Taft ought to be summoned to testify
to what he had done to accelerate
public opinion" on the question
Senator Gallinger said he was OPP
posed to summoning attorneys for
various organizations but that if it

STANDARD WILL OBEY.

New York, May 16.-The first word
from the Standard Oil Co on the de-
cision against it yesterday of the
United States supreme court came to-
day. 1t makes two points clear:
First. that there will be no contumacy
by the company-it purposes to obey
the decree; and second, that it will
be sometime before any plans of re-
organization are given out. The COM
pany has insisted throughout that 10
plans had been formulated in advance
of the decree, and the statement made
today by Mortimer F. Elliott, gener-
al solicitor for the company, takes
the same attitude. He said:
Having only before us the press
reports of Chief Justice Whites oral
opinion and the remarks of Justice
Harlan and not having yet seen The
opinion Of the court in full, it is I'M
possible to make any lengthy state
ment. The full opinion must be read
and studied by my associates and my
self before it can be intelligently dealt
with.
1T may however, now be said that
the Standard Oil CO. will obey the de-
cree of the court, and that all the
COR panies embraced in the courts de
cree will carry on their business as
usual under the direction Of their own
officers and through their own cor
porate organization.
William Rockefeller, one of the vice
presidents of the Standard oil Com
paDy, said today:
'At this time l cannot say a thing
about the decision The company will
make statement through Mr.. Elliott
after the decision has been read in
every particular. All we can do is to
hope that the decision is for the best.
After all the Standard Oil case was
only one of the things affecting gem
eral business conditions unfavorably."
y conference of directors and off
GERS of the company was held at its
offices today attended by John G.
Milburn, special counsel. but no state j..
mert further than that mace nv Will
