Washington. d. c., May 15.-With ev-
cry nation ON earth represented for
the first time since its establishment in

of these propositions will be kept Sc
cret until made public by the delegates
Of the various countries. Great Britain
has given notice Of two proposed
treaties, while one each will be submit
ted by France. Germany Netherlands,
Sweden and Switzerland. It is likely
also that the international bureau at
Berne, which is maintained as sort OF
bureau of information by the nations
signatory to the treaty of Paris and
subsequent treaties. may advance sew
eral questions for discussion.
The program today included the pre-
sentation of the credentials OF dele

ceedings of the conference are con-
Quoted in French and are secret.
Speeches of welcome will be delivered

MENNONITES BUY
COLONY LAND
Alfalfa Cutting Near Carls-
bad Unusually Heavy
This Spring.

Carlsbad, NJ ~ Nav 15.-The biggest
sale made in the history of the Carlsbad
project was that of the Mai. Grove place
near Loving to colony of Oklahoma
Menponites The sale was consummated
by the Farmers Land company.
The land hes northeast of the little
town of Loving about 10 miles south OF
Carlsbad. 1t comprises 602 acres OF
watered land and 17S of dry land. This
is the same land on which Maj. Grove
made the big alfalfa crop last year
netting nearly $3.50 per acre from a five
acre tract of heavily MANFRED land
The Mennonites will come here shortly
and will colonize the farm in 40 and SO
acre tracts. Mr.. Kiewer, who has thor
oughly inspected the farm on previous
trips is expected back with Mr.. Carter,
and will take immediate charge The
coming of these German farmers means
much, it is believed, to the Carlsbad
project, for as is well known through
out the west, there are no more inten-
sive farmers than the MennOnites, whd
have settled in the various tracts
throughout the west.
1t is expected that several more sales
will be made to MennOnites before the
growing season Of 1911 is entirely under
way, for there were other tracts under
consideration by the committee on lands
of the Mennonite church which visited
the valley two months ago.

rock phosphate which he intends 20 use
on his big orchard in La Huerta- The
orchard Is in fine shape, and it IS ex-
pected that 35 carloads of peaches viii
be shipped out this summer to new York
and Pittsburg commission houses, which
will handle the product.
The alfalfa cutting is very heavy for a
first crop, and a number of cars are
being shipped out 10 Roswell. and to
points in Kansas. One farm viii handle
five carloads during the first cutting.
A large amount of alfalfa will be
grown to seed this summer, as last sum-
mer's experience has shown the value of
this crop to the farmer. As high as
$50 pounds of alfalfa seed were pro-
duced to the acre, although the average
ran about 400

STANDARD OIL co. LOSES IN ITS BIC
FIGHT AGAINST DISSOLUTION VERDICT

Payne and Charles NJ Pratt, all de-
PENDANTS in the suit, denied the
charges.
Months were spent in gathering EVIL
dence. The general line of attack as
shown by evidence presented by the
government was this: It claimed tlat

Ter conceived the idea OF controlling
the petroleum trade Of the country,
and little later entered into q, con-
spiracy with Rogers, Archbold, Payne
and Pratt to gain a control of the oil
business. To carry out this alleged
conspiracy, it was claimed they first
pooled their interests, then put them
into the hands of trustees or trusts, .
and finally when the trust of 1882 was
declared "void" in a decision by the
Ohio supreme court in a proceeding
against the Standard Oil company of
Ohio. reorganized the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey to take over
their interests and to secure monopoly.
Evidence of rebating, of price cutting,
and of the organization Of secret con
Germs to pose as independents was
elected to show that the Standard was
seeking by unfair means to restrain
trade and 10 procure monopoly.
Says Never Was a Conspiracy.
STANDARD OiT' introduced evidence
TO show that there had never been
such a conspiracy It sought TO prove
that the Ohio supreme court did not
hold the trust agreement of 1882 void.
but merely required the Standard Oil
company of Ohio to withdraw from
the trust" Evidence was produced
TO show that rebating had been the
order Of the day among all CONNER
cial concerns that price cutting and
secret concerns were not the rule and
were used as legitimate instruments
of competition.
The circuit court held that the re-
organization of the Standard Oil ccm-
pany of New Jersey in 1899 was not
only a violation of the first section of
the act which referred to restraints of
trade, but also Of the second section,
which applied to monopolizing The
Standard Oil had argued that there
could be no additional restraint as a
result of the reorga nization because
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey was owned by common body Of
owners in exactly the same proper
tion that all the subsidiary companies
taken over by this new organization
had been held by these same common
owners for years past. The court held
otherwise and said that the combina-

Record Record Breaker
From the circuit court the case was
brought to the supreme court of the
United States. The record laid before
the higher tribunal probably was the
largest eyer prepared in an American
case The petition, pleadings, testi-
meny, opinions and decree constituted
% large volumes of more than 500
pages each.
The case vast first argued before
the supreme court in March. 1910, but
it was restored to the docket for re-
argument. The case was heard the
second time in January, 1911. the lat
ter time before a full bench Noted
attorneys appeared on either sides. For

In his address to the court Mr.. KEEL
logg, who took all the testimony in
the case on behalf of the government
said that the Standard Oil organization
was not a natural growth, but was
born and reared in fraud and oppres-
sion, and hangs over the commerce
of this country today like a threaten

The Standard All company, of New

from IS to 81 percent of the oil BUSH
ness Of the country, with a financial
power beyond that posed ed by any

combination, he added, was made eff
fective and powerful by reason Of
preferential rates and rebates in trans

have been made. and by unfair and
brutal methods of competition, which

less than half, because many old clients
felt that to give him their cases was
to jeopardize them, such was the an
tagonism of a great part of the Ju-
dietary against him. Thus Mr.. Obregon
has paid heavy toll for his work in ia
vor Of the revolution, which now in ex-
change is attempting TO present him as
a spy, as an emissary with money to
corrupt his old comrades.
When it occurred to me six weeks
ago that the time had come for action
and representation before Mr.. Madero
of what 1 feel is the impression Of the
enormous majority of MeTicans as re-
CARDS a reasonable and public spirited
peace pact, thought Of Oregon as the
best man to act with me. viewing that
his antecedents branded him unequi-
vocally as a revolutionist Of the high
est order. and that consequently he
would be received with wide open arms.
in fact. when for the first time we met
Mr.. Madero on the hills near Juarez a
fortnight ago, he embraced him most
cordially.
Nov, I ask the public, it is believ-
able that such a man would deliber-
ateiy change about to the extent Of
betraying his long avoVed convictions
and principles. and this to the extent
Of entering into a secret confab with
his old foe the Mexican government,
and come out here TO attempt to break
the backbone Of the revolution and
thereby jeopardize the principles so
deeply rooted in his heart?
"Out of respect for the most rudi-
mental principle of equity and fair
ness demand of the Mexican and
American public that they withhold
judgment. I Internationally pledge
myself to this: That provided he be
given half a fair chance, Mr. Oregon

Finally. I was told yesterday that
I was not involved in the incident and
could therefore continue approaching
Mr.. Madero and his friends. I have de-
e1ined. for obvious reasons.
II do not know what my future
course will be, should a peace agree
ment not be reached. I suppose 1 shall
endeavor TO bring forcibly before the
contending parties the well defined
basis upon which the Mexican people
insist on peace. It may be a difficult
job, viewing actual physical obstacles
and the positive and actually fearful
attitude of the generality OF the Next

but I will try, and expect that both
government and revolutionists will ae-
cept the effort as legitimate, If they
admit that public opinion and wishes
are above everything else and that we
have to hear what our 100000 in
habitants have to say regarding the
continuation of struggle that
threatens to crush them all
Again, so that no misunderstanding
may remain, I wish on retiring, to
thank Mr.. Madero for his courtesies
and efforts to please and be frank with
us. I have great respect and admira-
ton for him, and do rot underestimate
