THE DISSOlvINC
OF STANDARD OIL TRUST
BY U. S. Supreme Court

The dissolving of the greet
Standard Oil Trust by the Su-
PRIME courts of the United Stat S
would seem to mark the begin
Mug of an Era Of Reforms in The
management of affairs of govern
ment. The Standard Oil is the
greatest and worst Trust this
world over, and it has BEEN a
question wheth' it had not be
come even greater than the
government of tie Urited States
its~lf until now, the highest
courts of the land have asserted
their authority and ordered the
dissolution of this law defying
octupus which has long been mo-
nopolizine and controlling the oil
markets of the xorld. This Trust
would put every other concern
out of business. not only in the
United States, but all over the
universe, and have resorted to
giving their products away in
order to do away with all compe-
tition.
The terms being applied
good and bad trusts; or reasor-
ableor unreasor able corporations
is misleading; these concerns
should all be required to obey
the laws regulating the manner
of conducting business under
the lie. nse and charter given
them by the government, which
would make them law abiding
and entitled to continue operating
so long as they are disposed to
respect the franchize obtained,
and maintain a strict obedience
to it. The distinction of good
OF bad" as referred to trusts or
corporatio' are scarcely suppos-
able propositions because the
latter are not allowed to exist un-
der the law, or in other words
they must be good and obey the
law, or be put out of business,
1t is hoped that this move against
the Standard Oil will prove an
incentive to other concerns
among which we might mention
the Smelter Trust, whereby they
will take notice" and get to do
ing business ION the square
and according to the dictates OF
; the law.

Neighbors in West list Street
Give Alarm, and Police Steal
Upon Him with Drawn
Revolvers.

Mistaken for a burglar and arrested by
the police in his own home was the ex-
perience yesterday Of Frank Martin. a
member of the banking firm of Albert H.
Bickmore & Co.. Of No. 80 Pine street
Mr.. Martin is an uncle Of Mr.. Bickmore
Mr.. Martin had lost his keys and en-
tered the house of Mr.. Bickmore. with
whom he lives. at No. 300 West 72d
street ~ climbing through basement
window. Persons living in the neighbor-
hood informed the police OF the west
GSth street station that a man had been
seen to try the front door Of the Bick-
more house and later raise and enter a
basement window.
Detectives Sharpe and Mccormick
were sent 10 the house. They found the
basement window open, and. entering
assembled 10 the second floor. There they
found Mr.. Martin in the act of changing
his clothes
Hands up" cried the detectives
levelling their revOvers at the surprised
banker. who thought for moment tnat
he was the victim Of a hod-up. He COM
nlied with their request unhesitatingly.
The detectives displayed their shields
and informed Mr.. Martin that he was
under arrest as a burglar. ..'
"I live here" gasped Mr.. Martin
Haven't got a right 10 enter my own
house and change my clothes II so de-
sire?" he demanded
Well. if you live here and can be
identified. we'll take you 10 the station
and you can tell the lieutenant who you
are"
Mr.. Martin remembered that Mr.. Bick-
more had been out Of the city for several
weeks and that he was only temporary
lodger in the house and was not widely
known in the neighborhood. He care
fully explained this TO the detectives and
succeeded in increasing their skepticism.
You'd better come on over 10 the sta
ton house" they insisted. IF you are
all right you can prove it to the lieuten-
ant"
Mr. Martin consented, and when the
three arrived at the West 6Sth street
station the banker repeated his explana-
ton TO the lieutenant and asked that
message be sent TO the banking firm in
order that employees could come 10 the
sta ton house and prove his identity.
This was done and Henry J. Shaw,
cashier. and Edward Lahore, book
keeper of the banking concern, hastened
to the station. Mr.. Martin was identi-
fed. and after laughing heartily over
the mistake made by the detectives left
the station house. declaring that in the
future he would enter his home only by
the front door.
He also complimented the detectives
OF their prompt activity.
