STANDARD OIL
MUST PAY COST
Kansas Supreme Court Decides
Against Standard Branches
LITIGATION PENDING FIVE YEARS
Field Of Each Of Three subsidiary
Companies LImIted-cannot
Combine With Each
Other.

Topeka, June 1.-THE Kansas su'
preme court has made decision IN
the states suit against three sub
sidiary companies Of the Standard OIL
company, prohibiting them from dis
eliminating and combining to stihe
competition. The defendant COM
panies also must pay the costs Of the
cases, which amount to about $25,OOVs
The three companies are the Stand
ard Oil company Of Indiana, the Stand
ard OIL company Of Kansas and the
Prairie Oil and Gas company, all sub
sidiary to the Standard OIL company

Each Of the three companies had
exactly the same powers as the other
two. The Standard Of Indiana sold all
Of the oil and gasoline used in Kan
sas. 1t is prohibited forever from
owning or operating any refinery or
pipe lines. the Standard Of Kansas Is
allowed to maintain its refinery, but
II can only refine oil and cannot own
any tank cars nor produce or sell any
crude petroleum. The Prairie OIL and
Gas company cannot refine any oil It
can merely produce and buy and
transport crude petroleum. The three
companies are prohibited from enter
ing into any combination with each
other. Each one has It's own separate
and distinct business and must stick
to 1t.
The court made an absolute pro-
hibition against the three companies,
all the officers. agents and employees
engaging in any stock juggling.
The supreme court retains jurisdic-
ton Of the three companies, and II,
by any chance, any officer or employe
Of any Of the companies should violate
any order Of the court, they may be
arrested and punished for contempt
The suit las been pending almost
FIVE years. Four years Of that time

LUMBER EVIDENCE
Lumber Council Argues Against
Admitting Gorsuch's Evidence.
ASSOCIATION BLACKLIST SHOWN
Letters Introduced Showing Lumber
Mills That Sold to Consumer
Direct Were I'm
Bad"

Kansas City, Mo-, June 16.-Oyer
the objections of counsel for the re-
spondents, John M. Atkinson. assist
ant attorney reneral, introduced evil
dence at the lumber hearing to show
that the associations blacklisted those
manufacturers who sold to consumers.
The testimony was drawn from Harry
A. Gorsuch, secretary Of the South
western Lumbermen's association,
who formerly directed the bureau Of
information.
Long arguments were made by the
attorneys for the defendants against
the admission of that testimony. 1t
was offered by the state in the form
OF letters, which Mr.. Gorsuch identi-
fed as having been written by him to
Carl F. Drake, secretary Of the Texas
Lumermen's association, In 1908. The
correspondence showed that com
plant had been made that cement
company had sold to consumers in
Oklahoma and, on being demonstrated
with by Mr.. Gorsuch, had written him
that they intended to sell wherever
they pleased, adding. "We are free
people, living in free country"
In another letter offered by Mr.. At
kinson, Mr.. Gorsuch advised Drake
that the National Lumber company Of
Fort Worth had shipped several cars
to Snyder, Ok, and asked him to de-
mand Of the shippers an explanation
Of this violation of trade ethics" A
third letter discussed the abolition Of
fines for members Of the association
who violated the trade agreement and
the substitution Of reports Of such
violations to the trade. Referring to
the penalty the letter said: 1T Is not
necessary to put 1t down in black and
white"
The state also established by Mr..
Gorsuch the existence Of q body
Known as the "joint trade relations
committee" Of which the witness had
been q member. This committee made
certain recommendations which dealt
with the division of trade Judge
CAN'T argued for the state that they
had been adopted, were operative for
several months and had been abaii-
doned only in the face Of prosecution.
Mr.. Scarritt was surprised that the
attorney general should attempt to in
troduce such frivolous evidence as the
recommendations Of the joint trade re-
lations committee into q serious law
suit. Everybody knew that the sole
purpose of the lumber associations
and the committees appointed by them
was to meet once year and have q
good time"

Gave MS BLOOD
FOR HIS WIFE
Senator Luke Lea Takes Heroic Step
to Save Her Life.
BOTH ARE GAINING STRENGTH
blood TRANSMISSION Assures Mrs. Leas
Recovery After Having Been
Given UP by Her
M Physicians.

washington, June 20.-United states
Senator Luke Lea Of Tennessee, the
youngest member ever elected to tha'
body, risked his life In the Georgetown
hospital to save that Of his wife, by
submitting % q blood TRANSMISSION
operation. Mrs. LEAFS recovery, which
almost had been given up, now Is
practically assured, and the youngest
senator Of the nation lies near the
bedside Of his wife regaining his lost
strength. Recovery for both is pre-
dicted.
Senator Lea, upon learning OF his
wife's dangerous condition. demanded
that q TRANSMISSION operation be per-
formed and prepared at once to sub
init to the ordeal. Attending physi-
clans and surgeons made arrange
ments Immediately and the operation
which followed was declared to have
been very successful. Senator Lea
withstood the operation well. Sur
geonS assured him that without the
sacrifice which he made Mrs. Lea
could have lived but few hours.
A prime factor In transfuslng opera
tons is that the blood Of the two
bodies be fusible and tests were hasti-
ly ordered.
Before the analysis was completed,
however, the surgeons, fearing that
death might be swifter than they, de-
cided upon the operation at once. Just
as the senator's arm had been barred
and tube inserted in an artery, word
came that blood Of both were fuSible.
After the operation, Senator Lea fell
to the floor in a faint. He Immediate
ly was placed in bed Not the least
favorable element in his recovery Is
his buoyant mental attitude In conse-
Quence Of Mrs. Lea's improvement.
Luke Lea was born in February,
1879. He was 80 years old when he
took his seat In the senate. Lea re-
ceived his education in the Nashville
preparatory schools and at the Uni
versity Of the South at Sewanee,
Tenn, where he matriculated In 1896,
and was graduated with his master OF
arts Of degree in 1900. Afterward he
followed the study Of law at Columbia

Follow Suit.

Jefferson City, Mo-. June 19.-The
knights Of Columbus and the Catho-
Lie Ladies' Aid society Of Kansas City
have sent quantity Of religious
books to members Of the Holy Name
society in the Missouri penitentiary.
The Holy Name society was organ
lied in the prison several months
ago by Francis T. Furey, a convicted
forger from st. Louis, who at one
time was a student for the priest
hood. 1t was the first Holy Name
society within prison walls, but Holy
Name societies soon will be started
in Sing Sing and other penitentiaries
throughout the United States.
Ninety convicts from st. Louis and
elsewhere, met in the prison chapel
one Sunday afternoon at the request
Of Furey, and the Holy Name society
was formed.
Father ]. c. Melles Of st. Peters
church, Jefferson City has obtained
from Warden Henry L. Andrea per-
mission for the society to give an en-.
tertainment on July 4, and Arthur 3.
Colbourne Of Brooklyn has consented
to come on that date and give his
Illuminated lecture ON the Oberam-
mergau Passion Play, under the d.
rection Of the society. st. Peters
church choir and Father Melles will
assist.
An admission Of 10 cents will be
charged for the entertainment and the
money will be used to establish within
the penitentiary a free employment
bureau. At present convicts are dis
charged from prison without work
and when they hunt work they are
embarrassed and sometimes driven
to desperation by their prison records.
"They become discouraged" Furey
recently told visitor to the peniten-
tiary, "and then II is that the prison
seems an attractive place, compared
to the cold outside world. Then they
do something to get back, and become
habitual criminals.

HONESTY is THE BEST POLICY
S. c. Dobbs Declares Misleading and
Untruthfu Advertising Will
Not Bring Returns.

More than forty members of the Six
Point league of New York attended
the second fall luncheon of the associ.
alton recently. The chief speaker was
s. c. Dobbs, general advertising and
sales manager of the COca-Cola COM
pany of Atlanta, Ga, who discussed
the responsibility of the newspaper to
its readers and advertisers. He said
among other things:
ITO those Of us who are watching
the trend of newspaper publications 1t
is inspiring to note the efforts that are
being made towards giving advertisers
and the public that confidence which
guarantees a full measure Of integrity.
In virtually every city Of this country
one or more papers are bending their
efforts to the giving Of a square deal;
publishers who say that no unClean
thing can be advertised in their col
umns, who will not print wildcat min
ing and land schemes. The standard
magazines are even in advance Of the
daily papers, and are eliminating from
their pages every advertisement Of
questionable nature. Many Of our best
publications today stand back Of and
guarantee the statements in their ad-
vertising columns.
Men who would not stoop to tell a
personal lie have not hesitated to per-
petrate unspeakable frauds in the
name Of publicity, so that many have
been led to regard advertising as
gross exaggeration.
The survival of the fittest' influ
ence has been bringing about radi-
cal change in this condition. 1t did
not take long to realize that mislead-
ing and untruthful advertising would
not bring returns-that the dishonest
advertisers could not achieve perma-
nent success any more than dishon-
est merchant or manufacturer. There
is moral responsibility in advertis
ing an untruth."

How Thackeray Left America

est at the table of any man present;
he was at his best around the festive
board.
Il was particularly active in plan
ming the dinner and extending invita-
tons to it. The afternoon Of the
great day l sent message to Thack-
eray's hotel to tell him that l would
meet him there at a certain hour that
evening and escort him to the feast.
Pretty soon the messenger was back
with the startling information that
Mr. Thackeray was no longer stop
ping at the hotel.
Much perturbed, l hastily made
my way thither, and upon inquiry at
the desk, learned to my great aston
ishment that Thackeray that very
morning had suddenly signified his in
tention of terminating his stay there,
had his luggage packed, paid his bill
and departed in a carriage, Gone
where?' l asked. And the proprietor
gave it as his opinion that the d.stin-
guished novelist had sailed for Eu-
rope but few hours since.
CAS- quickly as l could l went to
the Office of the steamship line that
had a sailing that day. Yes, Mr..
