Standard OIL Decision.


Chicago Tribune: The oracle has
spoken and the fate of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey has been
settled. The Supreme court finds i.
monopoly and a combination in re
strafnt of trade, and affirms the or

The decision Is a momentous one

No really difficult questions of fact
were involved in the case. No novel
questions of law The Standard Oil
company is adjudged Illegal and is
commanded to dissolve.
Nearly four and half years ago
the then attorney general of the Unit
ed States began in the Circuit court
in st. Louis the proceedings which
came to close yesterday. Suit was
brought against the Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey and its sew
enty companies and partnerships IN
der the antitrust law, and the court
was asked to declare the combination
unlawful and to order its dissolution.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey became the head and front of
the combination shortly after 1892.
Prior to that year the stock of the
Standard Oil company of Ohio and
the stocks of the companies it owned
were vested in trustees In that year
the Ohio Supreme court upset this ar
rangement by deciding that the Ohio
corporation could not legally become
party to such trust. Therefore
the trustees distributed the stock of
sixty-four of the corporations among
the remaining twenty, the Standard
of New Jersey being one of the
twenty
In 1899 the stocks Of the other nine
teen we're exchanged for stock of the
New Jersey corporation. Thus a share
of its stock finally represented frac-
tional ownership in all the Standard
Oil holdings.
Counsel for the company argued in
the trial court that its case was I'M

competitive railroads, and by trans.

JUDGE GARY ON WELFARE WORK

~
The official report of the dinner
discussion of the steel men at their
recent New York meeting discIoses
that welfare work for employees was
the topic offered by Chairman Gary.
He said that the man who has had
the intelligence and success and CAPT
tai TO employ labor has placed upon
himself voluntarily a responsibility
with reference TO his men which he
can not escape, and ought not to en-
deayor u escape" The great cues
ton, he said, was how to treat tie
laoring man SO as to make ii Ger.
tain that there will never in this
country be any excuse for the ad-
yancement OF the ideas of the an
archist or the socialist" The head of
the.Welfare Committee said that they
were going to get together a state
ment Of the problem and how 1t is be-
ing approached. All agreed that at
tention TO this question was quite
practical, as It resulted in greater
efficiency of the men. Also all agreed
that the extra session of congress
was having a very bad effect on bust
ness.

ACROSS THE BORDER.
A Mirror of Events Transplrlng In the
 Nelghborlng Republic.

Mexican aerald: OtrlKeS take nlace on almost any excuse. The charcoal dealers in Queretaro struck me day recently because they were not freed from all taxes. They claimed that this was one of the promises made by the revolution ary party and insisted that no further collection be made from them. When advised that taxes were payable as usual all shops selling charcoal were closed caus- ing much inconvenience to the poorer classes who buy the supply of charcoal from day to day. On hearing that a quantity of charcoal had been ordered by several mer- chants and fearing the loss of busi- ness the shops were opened on the second day and the business in fuel for the brazeros continues as usual.
 Mexican Herald: The sixty five participants in the plot of Ia. cubaya, which occurred late in the revolution and had for its we'll de- fined purpose the capture of the Ciuadadela, the factory of arms, and finally the house of the then president, General Por6rio Diaz, have all been liberated owing to the success of the revolution which they sought to magnify. Upon the discovery of the now famous plot through the timidity of some of the first participants, the arrests fol- lowed in rapid succession and the prisoners felt that execution was awaiting them; but as the decree did not go forth at once, the pris- oners, through the success of the cause they espoused, have come into the full possession of their liberties.
 Mexican Herald: It is probable that at least thirty-6ve former Ma deristas will pay the penalty of death for responsibility for the massacre of the 303 members of the Chinese colony in Torreon May 15. Of these twenty are now under ar rest and their cases are being tried in the regular criminal courts. Eff teen are still evading capture. The wisdom of Emilio Madero in not submitting the suspected ones to immediate trial and execution the day of the massacre, is being com mended highly. During the first days of the excitement it was inn possible to secure evidence against all of the parties responsible for the assault on the Chinese and much evidence is said to have been gathered from those who for i'm. plication might have paid the penalty earlier.
 Mexican Herald: "If we waited for the thorough study of the ! question of irrigation we would
 'e twenty years or more before
 would begin to assist the nation

 farmers during seasons of N h." is the substance of the @ Fer made by Lie.
