OIL PAYS SIS A SHARE
Standard Directors Declare the
Usual Quarterly Dividend.

The directors Of the Standard OH COM
many of New Jersey declared yesterday
the usual dividend for this quarter OF 80
o share. payable September Is. 1t had
been feared in some quarters that the d.
rsctors might follow the recent example OF
the American Tobacco directors and with
hold the dividend pending the reorganl-
zation of the company in compliance with
fha decree of the United States Supreme
Court but the general expectation in the
street was that the dividend would be de-
clared usual
According to those familiar with the az
fairs Of the corporation. it is likely that
sill another dividend will he declared by
the Standard oil Company before the com
ing distribution of the stock of thirty-three
of its subsidiary companies 10 It's stock
holders. Earnings Of all the subsidiary
companies. it is said will continue TO be
turned into tn: Standard oil Company until
this distribution takes place, which is ex-
necte-d TO be about December I, and the

The time has come when judges
must uphold this statute. not by impos-
ing a fine but by making the guilt per-
sonal These men violated the law upon
the statute books, and they must Fay
the penalty by serving prison sentences
This is the first conviction in my recol-

Mr.. Jerome took exception to a refer
ence by Judge Rosalsky to the fact that
thousands of dollars had been expended
by the county to obtain the conviction
Of the prisoners. 1T certainly Is not n

mony Is not right. 1t would be not only
an act Of injustice, but oppression
Judge Rosalsky here ordered Mr.
Jerome to stop talking, and the clerk
took the pedigree of the convicted men
In his summing up Mr.. De Ford said
that the defendants had established a
perfect lHOIODDly III Il iiNNN1'ief "a -

having an independent fortune. was able
TO crafty his somewhat expensive tastes
in that direction. Last summer Badger
expressed his determination to buy an
aeroplane and secure an aviators license.
He bought the machine. and after months
of practice made a number of successful
flights at Mineola Long Island. before ne
secured the coveted permission from the
Aero Club of America. II was his inten-

BLAME MECHANISM'S FLAWS
Mrs. tombstone Saw Husband
Fall, Was Told He Was Safe,
and Went to Hotel and Laid
Out Dry Clothing.

ChCngo, Aug. 15.-Two aviators William
r. Badger. of Pittsburg, and ST. Croix
Johnstaae Of Chicago both young men, lost
their lives at the International aviation meet
here to-day. In dying both revealed the
frailty Of the craft In which two score more
aviators were curving and gliding about the
air. with scarcely pause for the deaths of
their contemporaries.
Death IN both cases was due 10 unex-
planned accidents, probably the results OF
unsuspectesl defects IN the mechanism of the
machines. and was in no way caused by
carelessness nor lack of responsibility OF
the av1ators.
Badger. 10 wealthy young man. careened
to his death in a pit in the aviation field.
There had tseen flaw in one Of the wings
of the propeller OF the Baldwin machine he
drove. Centrifugal force broke the pro-
peller. upset the delicate equilibrium OF the
machine. and Badger dashed one hundred
feet to the bottom of the pit His neck
was broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his engine
and was On owned as the result Of an
equally unsupported defect Caught under
the heavy engine in the Moisant mono
plane. he was carried deep into Lake Michi
gar and his body was not brought TO the
surface until an hour later.
Badger liyvs1 for three-quarters Of an
hour after he had been extricated from the
remains of his engine. He did not recover
consciousness. and died almost at once
after he had reached hospital His death
was the first serious accident OF the meet.
although thirty-fve flyers have dipped and
giided here for three days. and experts say
several similar accidents have been mar
rowly averted.
