STANDARD OIL
MUST DISSOLVE
UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT
SAYS 1T is AN ILLEGAL
COMBINE.
GIVES IT SIX MONTHS
DECISION IN TOBACCO CASE Ex-
PECTED ON MAY 18TH, LAST
DECISION DAY.

Notwithstanding Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey and its nine
teen subsidiary corporations were de-
clared by the Supreme Court of the
United States to be conspiracy and
combination in restraint Of trade.
1t also was held to be monopoliz-
ing Interstate commerce in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
The dissolution of the combination
was ordered to take place within six
months.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part of the government to put
down by authority of law, a combina-
ton which it claimed was menace to
the industrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country.
At the same time, the court inter-
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit Its application to acts of
undue restraint of trade, and not
every restraint of trade.
1t was on this point that the only
discordant note was heard in the
court.
that the cases already decided by the
court had determined-once for all
that the word undue or "unreason
able" or similar words were not in
the statute.
He declared that the reasoning of
the court in arriving at it's finding
was in effect legislation which be-
;,,,t 20
and not to the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case
in the lower court, the United States
Circuit Court for the eastern district
of Missouri was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business
world" that the law would be modified
so as not to interfere with what was
declared honest business.
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form it contained more than
20,0OG words For nearly an hour the
chief justice discussed the case from
the bench, going over most of the
points in the printed opinion, but not
once referring to it in order to re-
fresh his memory.
Before him sat an audience of the
most famous men of the country
Senators and representatives left
their chambers in the capitol to listen
to the epoch-makIng decision of the
court. Most eager to hear were At
torney General Wckersham and
Frank b. Kellogg, special counsel for
the government, who had conducted
the great fight against the Standard
Oil.
Many expected that the decision in
the dissolution suit against the Tobac'
co corporation would be handed down
Immediately after the decision in the
Standard Oil case.
This, was not done, but the decision
is expected May 29th, the last decis
ion Gay of the court until next Octo
ber.
In short the court held that the
technical words of the statute were
to be given the meaning which those
words had in the common law and in
the law of the country at the time
the words, according to the court
called for the exercise of reason in
determining what restraints on trade
were prohibited.
President Taft and Cabinet will
consider Immediately the entire trust

A naturalist who has studied this

tells a story, from his own observ-

creatures may have a still more exact
sense of time than is indicated
by the regularity OF their migrations
and hibernations. He once enjoyed
the acquaintance of a mouse which,
at exactly a quarter before four
o'clock every afternoon was in the
habit of coming out along a wains-
coting and making his way to a pot
of paste on the table, the crust of
which he then proceeded to nibble.

mouse was in coming for his daily nib

the foreman made substantially the

He said that the man who had been

morning called upon him and eXacted
an unreasonable amount of tithes, and
conducted himself generally in most
unjust and arbitrary manner. When

piled with abusive and scurrilous
language, but in his rage had actually
attacked him, the juryman, with a
spading fork and inflicted wounds, the
scars of which he exhibited to the
judge. AS his assailant appeared
bent on mischief, and he was unarm-
ed. he closed with him and wrested
the fork from his hands. 1t was in
the struggle to recover his weapon
that the deceased received the wounds
which caused his death.
The shock to his feelings on discov-

that no human eye had been a witness
of the tragic affray but his first i'm

authorities. When he considered,
however, how long he would probably
be confined, awaiting trial, and how
his crops and other interests would
be likely to suffer during his con-
finement, he concluded not to do so.

A NEW STRAWBERRY.
Burbank Produces Some That Weigh

Luther Burbank announces the
creation of a strawberry Of a new
type, the Patagonia. The plant wizard
says the berry is the result Of years
of effort. 1t ripens first and continues
to bear the longest. The leaves are
large and unusually thick and firm,
with thin silky down and "are never
injured by sunburn, where other va
rieties are either seriously Drowned
or wholly destroyed"
The berries are uniformly large
single berries sometimes weighing an
ounce, and Of a fine color with hand
some pale flesh. The seeds are SO
small as to be almost imperceptible.
The new strawberry melts In the

strawberry and cream-like flavor
