NEW STANDARD OIL CASE.
Company Takes Missouri Custer Verdict
to Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 9.--More STANDARD
Oil troubles were before the supreme
court of the United States yesterday
for consideration. Last spring the court
directed the dissolution OF the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey. This
time it is to pass on the action Of the
state courts OF Missouri in ousting the
Standard Oil company of Indiana and
the Republic Oil company of New York
from doing business in Missouri. They
We're charged with having violated the
state antitrust laws by conspiring to
control the price of petroleum in the
state and with monopolizing petroleum
In addition to requiring the corporations
to 90 hence, the Missouri courts fined
each company 100000. The corporations
now attack the constitutionality of the
Missouri antitrust laws. Among other
things it is said that the statutes vio-
late the federal constitution by exact
ing different and greater punish
pent for violations by corporations than
by individuals
