COMBINE BUILT UP THROUGH
DEPRESSING COMPETITORS,
SAYS ST. PAUL MAN,
IN STANDA~D OIL CASE
Ayers That Great Monopoly Is Threat.
ening CIoud.-srings Forward
Mystery of Where Profits
Have Gone.

Washington, D. c. - Painting the
Standard Oil organization as made
mighty through depressing competi-
tors and hanging today as a threaten
ing cloud over the country, Frank B.
Kellogg, special assistant to the at
torney general of the United States,
pleaded with the supreme court of the
United States to dissolve the Stan
dard Oil company of New Jersey,
as ~violative of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Mr.. Kellogg went over the early
years of the Standards business, lead,
ing up to the central point of the pres
ent controversy, the reorganization Of
the Standard Oil company, of New
Jersey in 1899. He characterized this
reorganization of one illegal form of
holding together the oil companies for
another illegal form. The first was
the trust" of 1882, with it's several
trustees, and the second, the Stan
dard Of New Jersey"
When Mr.. Kellogg reached in MS
argument The trust agreement of 1882,
whereby the stock of the owners Of
various oil companies "a put into
the hands of trustees, he was inter
rupted by Justice Holmes.
That sort of agreement was quite
common in New England" the justice
remarked.
Il have no doubt of that" replied
Mr.. Kellogg. The trust agreement
was copied by the Sugar trust which
was declared illegal in New York; by
the Whisky trust which was declared
illegal in Illinois; by the Lead trust
which was declared illegal in Missouri.
The plan has been condemned as ia
restraint Of trade in every state of
the union. And when the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey succeeded
the trustees, the properties simply
were turned over from one to the
other. A perpetual, corporate form
that should hold their common wealth
was substituted for the trustees whose
lives might be cut short by death. Is
one any more illegal than the other?"
Touching on a point of the defense
Mr.. Kellogg said that if the companies
whose stock was procured by the
Standard in 1899 were not competing,
it was because they were held together
in illegal trust, that of 1879 and that
of 1882.

REQUEST ILLEGAL
AGITATION OF laws or NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND MAssAcHU-
sETTS, SAYS LAWYERS
FOR SONS OF mrs. EDDY
Both States Limit Amounts Which
May Be Given to a Church.
High Court Is Asked to
Render Decision.

Concord, New Hampshire.-That the
residuary clause in the will of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the
Christian Science church. is null and
void, is the opinion of Ex-United
States Senator William E. Chandler,
Hannis Taylor, of Washington, D. c.,
professor of constitutional and inter,
national law at George Washington
university, and others.
The clause provides for a gift of
about $4,000 900 to the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, known
as the Mother church"
A statute of New Hampshire pro-
hibiting a bequest, to a church of over
$4,000 annually is the basis of the
opinion which was written by Prof.
Taylor.
In the closing paragraph the opinion
advises the attorneys for the next of
kin that such agreements and con
atracts as they made with the testatrix
and her trustees in her lifetime bind
them only ito recognize as valid such
provisions Of her last will as are valid
legally"
Besides former Senator Chandler
and Prof. Taylor, the signers of the
opinion are Attorneys John w. Kelley
of Portsmouth and Dewitt c. Howe of
Concord, who were associated with
Mr.. Chandler as counsel for the next
friends" and William l.. Chambers, a
lawyer of Washington.
MI. Chandler, in his letter to Prof.
Taylor reviews the fact regarding
Mrs. Eddy's will and estate and the
next friends suit which resulted in
Mrs. Eddy placing a large sum of
money in trust for her son, George w.
Glover of Lead, S. D., and his children
He then describes his signing the
agreement by which the next
friends suit was called and adds:
"Mr. Streeter General Frank s..
Streeter of Concord), drew the agree
ment for my signature. When sign
ing, l took it for granted that Mrs.
Eddy would not in giving away her
property, undertake to violate public
law. If I had thought she had already
done so, by attempting to create a
church with an endowment of two
millions of dollars, I should not have
signed"
Appeals to the Court.
"A petition was filed in the superior
2 c0urt here by ex-senator Chandler
and other attorneys, asking the court
for a construction of Mrs. Eddy's
will, particularly the clause relating
to the residuary estate.
The petitioners also pray for an in
junction against any disposition being
made of the property in question pend.
Ing the construction Of the ~residuary
clause.
1t is understood to be the plan of
the attorneys for George w. Glover
and DR.. e. ]. Foster Eddy, the son of
Mrs. Eddy, to try to have the ques-
ton regarding the residuary legatee
transferred from the superior court to
the supreme court for a decision. No
contest in the probate court is ex-
pected.

BIG CUSTOMS FRAUDS CHARGED
Prominent Frisco Merchants Arrested
Oriental Importations involved.

San Francisco, California. - Sc
rious charges of attempting to defraud
the United States customs by under
valuation of imports resulted in the
arrest of two prominent merchants of
Oriental goods in this city. The pris-
oners are Carl j. Cutting, who has a
store in this city, and w. A. Wilson,
of Oakland, who operates between this
port and Yokohama as an importer
and tea expert.
Shipments valued by the importer
at $4,000 are involved in the present
proceedings, but customs officials ex
press the belief that wholesale frauds
in the differentiation of imports from
the Orient have been perpetrated in
the last few years. They estimate the
governments loss by these operations
at $1,000 09 a year.

Chicago, Illinois. Millions of
pounds of cold storage butter, eggs,

Chicago wholesalers admit the bot
tom has fallen out of prices for dairy
products and poultry and that a big
slump is due as soon as the contents
of the cold storage warehouses can be
put on the market. They say an at
tempt is being made by retailers to
keep prices up to an abnormal Level by
buying small stocks at low figures and
selling them to the public at the old
high levels.

Unload in Large Cities.

Although the collapse of the cor.
ner" is likely to be felt most keenly
by the cold storage men of Chicago,
the pinch will be felt in many of the
important shipping centers of the
East and middle West. Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia, Omaha, Kansas
City, st. Louis and Minneapolis are
spoken of as the points where most Of
the unloading probably would be done.
Prices for dairy products, II Is said,
will drop to a reasonable figure.
Chickens, turkeys, geese and domestic
fowls of all sorts are expected to be-
come cheap enough for the poor mans
table. The collapse has been due to
natural causes.
The present troubles Of the cold
storage people have been brought
about by their own ma~nipulations at
the expense Of the public. Five years
ago a large number Of them get to-
gether in more or less informal agree
ments and proceeded to put artificial
prices on butter, eggs, cheese, fowls
and everything else that could be kept
in cold storage. They are able to do
this by the simple method Of putting
goods in storage instead of delivering
them Immediately to the market.
Their combined storage facilities gave
them a position of supremacy which
not only enabled them to limit the
supply to the public and thus keep
prices up, but control nearly absolute
ly the prices paid to producers. Thus,
while producers were getting little
enough for their butter, eggs and
poultry, the public was paying extor-
tionate prices.

Burned Own Bridges.

In putting up prices to the high fig.
ures attained during the last two
years, the cold storage men cut the
ground from under their own feet.
People who could not afford to pay IS
and 40 cents a dozen for eggs stopped
eating them. Families that found but
ter too expensive ate oleomargarine.
The result was that after this had
gone on for a year or two the whele-
salers found themselves with full
warehouses and no demand.
General uneasiness was followed by
a downward trend in prices. Then
came a more pronounced drop. New
the wholesalers find themselves under
the imperative necessity of unloading
or going out Of business.
Just how much food is in storage
in and around Chicago there is no
means of a~scertaining. Only the
wholesalers know, and they will not
tell. A few days ago one firm con.
trolling 80 warehouses admitted 1t had
in storage $4,000. 900 pounds of butter
that must be got rid Of before May /
at the latest. II cost from 81 to 2a
cents a pound to store this butter and
it will cost 2 or 8 cents more a pound
TO market it. The normal price fos
