IMMUNITY TO
 TRUSTS, SAYS
 HENRY GEORGE
Especial from United Press )


 Washington, May 17-Declaring that interpretation of the Sherman Anti Trust law by the Supreme Court in the decision disso!ving the Standard Oil Company appears to give the law to the people and immunity to the trusts, Representative Henry George, IT., Oem., N. Y.), son of the famous single taxer, today issued the follow ing statement:
 By Henry George, Jr.)
 I regard the decision of the Supreme Court, in the Standard Oil case, as in much the same category as a decision of the same court handed down just prior to the Civil War. The former decision was handed down in the case of the slave, Dread Scott. That was described as giving 'the law to the The Supreme Court now appears to give the law to the people and inn munity to the trusts.
 The Standard Oil Company can now go through the form of reorganizing g and then, on the plea that it is only reasonably in restraint of trade con- tinue on its course of piracy
 The 400 trust combinations similarly in restraint of trade and similarly hanging on its interpretation of the law, can now do what any company can do, reasonably, and escape the law They will answer before long, nevertheless. The law will be amend ed or else the people will seek to de- stroy the privileges enjoyed by the trusts. I am confident, also, that this decision will widely weaken con- f1dence in courts so as to quicken the recall of judges.

SUPREME COURT DECISION IN OIL TRUST CASE ILLUMINATION
 OF LONG FOUGHT LEGAL BATTLE

the holding company the Standard Oil of New Jersey, was enjoined from voting the shares of stock in any of from receiving any dividends there from.
 From the decision, the Oil Trust appealed, alleging 66 erors in the de- cree. Briefly, these were that the court erred in compelling non-resi- ident corporations and individuals to appear at St. Louis; in everything the plea of the defendants that the court had no Jurisdictions; in finding that the 19 corporations absorbed by the Standard of New Jersey in 1899 were then competitive; in finding that the seven individual defendants in the ten years prior to 1899 had acquired petition; that the subsidiary com panies in the combine were entirely controlled by the parent corporation and that an exchange of stock for an interest in single corporation was illegal.
 The case was first argued before the Supreme Court last spring. The Highest Tribunal then only includ- led eight active members. because of Justice Moodys illness and shortly af- ter the arguments, only seven, through the death of Justice Brewer. Because tnlS was not full bench, the Court ordered the cases re-submitted.
 By the appointment of Gov. Hughes of New York, and later, the selection of Justices Van Devanter and Lamar, and the naming of Justice White as Chief Justice, the bench was com plete on January g, when the case was again argued. Kellogg again ap- peared for the Government, with At torney General Wickersham as his as- sistant. Milburn, Johnson and D. T.. Watson of Pittsburg. argued for the defendant. The Court broke all pre- cedents in granting five whole days for the arguments.
 About $500, 900 of capital is in- vested in the various companies which goAto make up the cdmbne.
 The record in the case is full of instances where the giant power of the combination was used to force competitors to the wall. The trust carried on its business in sections where there was a prejudice against trust products, through concerns which, although absolutely controlled by the Standard. advertised them selves independent. It received rebates from railroads, and it had system of spying on the business of their competitors.

Washington, May 17-The decision rendered today directly affects the biggest business combine in the Uni ted States, and indirectly, nearly hundred other business combines, modelled on the same lines.
 It is the continuation of a legal bat tie which has been fought all over the country for four and half years. Attorney General Wickersham declar- ed it to be perhaps the most impor- tant case ever taken before the High est Court.
 The case had its inception in the filing of a bill of complaint in No- vember 1906, before the Circuit court for the Eastern District of. Missouri, against 143 corporations and seven individuals on the ground that they were 8 "combination in restraint of trade" and therefore violating the Sherman antitrust law. John D. Rockefeller, Wm. G. Rockefeller. Henry H. Rogers Henry M. F'lagler, Oliver H. Payne and Charles H. Pratt were among the individuals made defen- dants by the suit.
 For nearly two years prior to the filing of the suit Government agents had been gathering evidence all over the .country. The bill of complaint embodied much of this evidence. It covered 220 closely printed pages, and purported to give history of the growth of the "oil trust,' from its in ception in 1876.
 The issues in the case were of such magnitude, and the resume" of facts expected to be proved by the Gov ernment so voluminious, that the Court appointed master to take the tes- timony. Over two years was spent in this task. Witnesses were examin- ed all over the country. Frank B. Kellogg was the Governments at torney and opposing him was Moritz Rosenthal, who was reputed to have been paid s1,oOO for every day he appeared in Court. There. were four or five other legal assistants.
 At the actual trial, before the Cir cult court, the Trust was. represent ed by John G. Johnson Of Philadel- phia, and John G. Mflburn of New York two of the greatest corporation attorneys in the country Kellogg ar gued in behalf of the government.
 On November 20 1909 the Court sus- tafned practically every contention made by the Government, adjudged the combine a trust in restraint of trade, and reading the Sherman law broadly ordered the absolute dissolu-

the performing in them. Whether the spectators individually are to be blamed Is not so clear As things are at present, few will give much thought to their responsibility, and one here and there led to the spectacle by cu- rfostty neither encourages it>by his presence, nor would his absence tend to prevent it. An exception should, however, be made when the spectator is a person of great social importance.
 One word may be added of great practical utility. The aviators of the first class are obliged, according to the danger incurred, to put themselves in a state of grace. No one may take definite risk of eternal death. Hence should they fall into sin they must regain the grace of God by comics sion if possible, if not by a perfect act of contrition, before attempting a flight. If they do this they will not be likely, to go very far wrong in the matter. of exposing themselves to danger.

COLLEGE COURSE IS WASTED TIME
 SAYS CARNEGIE
(special from United Press. ]

New Haven, May 17.-For the young man who will have to make a living in the industrial world, col lege education in the classics is prac- tically wasted time, according to An drew Carnegie, the philanthropist, whose ideas on college education and sports were published in the Yale News, today.
 "Do not think that I underestimate the precious gems which the early literature of our race holds" wrote Carnegie, ''but why spend your prec- ious youth on those things which in after life will only give food and clothing to a chosen few? In ma jority of cases the average graduate knows neither what to do nor which way to turn if he is thrown on his own resources. He has to unlearn much of what he has learned. He is even unfitted to start at the bot tom of the ladder"
 Regarding sports, MT. Carnegie be- lieved that they would always be needed ito keep the collegians' en- ergy from effervescing in undesirable forms"
 But to win is not the most import ant thing in athletics, he said. Prop CT athletic exercise is, like virtue, it's own reward. When the sole object is vanquishing your friends it ceases to be genuine sport and becomes a struggle"

England has Just lost by death a
most eccentric character, George Ed
ward Dering, eighty-one years old, a
fellow Of the Royal society, whose
diversion was to walk tight rope
over a lake in his grounds.
Dering was the owner Of Locksley
Hall and its 1000 acres at the village
Of Welwyn, in Hertfordshire. and for
twenty years, since the death Of bis
wife, had not been outside bis park
gates. Within the park he drove in
old King George coaches swung on
leather. He never saw an automobile
refused to look at one because he
hated noise.
Though he had millions In cash and
large estates In Galway, ireland, he
rarely spent any money, permitted
poachers on his land to supply his
table and would often have them sup
with him. Yet to make bis home
quieter he spent 100000 in shifting
a public road.
He was a great friend Of Blondin,
the old rope walker who crossed NJ
agara. Blondin taught him to walk
the rope, and he frequently invited
the villagers to see him perform: On
such occasions he always wore tights,
Just az Blondin did. He belonged to
