GOVERNOR AND COMPTROLLER.
Slight Misunderstanding Involving the
Newspapers.
Columbia Record, Tuesday.

Columbia Record, Tuesday
Governor Blease said, Tuesday af-
ternoon, that his position had been
misstated In press reports regarding
his veto of the $4,000 item In the ap-
preparation bill for Investigations Of
county offices, and he denied en-
phatically that he had told the comp
troller general to go ahead and spend
this money.
The governor furnished for publica-
/ ton the correspondence on the sub
ject Tuesday between himself and the
comptroller general, which explains
itself:
February 2S, 1911.

Blease, Governor Columbia, 8. c.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 28th,
In refernce to the veto of the $4,000
appropriation for investigation by me,
or under my direction, has been re-
ceived.
While the newspaper statement was
somewhat inaccurate understood you
to suggest that I borrow such funds
as should be necessary to make need
ed Investigations, and ask the legis-
lature at its next session to provide
for the payment of the loan. I then
realized that the law requires me to
confine my expenditures to such ap-
preparations as have been made by
law, and then determined. as now ad-
vised by you, not to borrow. such
money in violation Of law, or exceed
the appropriations placed at my dis
posal.
Yours respectfully,
A. W. Jones,
Comptroller General.

Continued from page oneD

The ptitioner applied fora writ OF
habeas corpus and the questions pre-
scented for determination were whether
on any of the grounds, whether the Pc
titioner was in a position to urge them.
Sections of the act are quoted, in
Guiding the provisions of $4,000
bond and an annual license fee of $500
to be given and paid by the agent.
The court passes on the point raised
that, as the petitioner did not claim
ia have paid or rendered a license fee,
h should not be heard to question the
validity of any part of the statute eX-
cept that relating to the fee. 1t is
held that this objection was met by the
allegation, among others struck out by
the court, that Craig had paid the fee
required by the law of 1905. The
opinion then proceeds:
Some of the questions presented by
the petitioner will not be considered
for the reason that he is in no wise in
tcrested in or concerned with them.
Within this category fall the petition
ers points which, as the petition
ey does not claim to be a laborer or
servant cannot affect any rights Of
his. Likewise as to the point number
ed 4, in which connection it is urged
that the statute would prevent dele
gate of a labor organization from ad-
yising laborers to leave the Territory
for the purpose Of lettering their con
dition; and would apply to a tourist
asent soliciting laborers to take a
pleasure trip beyond the limits of the
Territory and to a newspaper publish
ing an advertisement of employment to
be had elsewhere in the United States,
The petitioner does not claim to be
either a delegate of a labor organiza-
ton, a tourist agent, or a newspaper

To PROVE LOST
HILLS DISTRICT

S. F. Examiner, May 5: That the
Crocker interests, the new owners of
the Dudley and Martin Lost Hills
Mining Company property in the Lost
Hills, intend to find out as early as
possible whether or not the Lost Hills
is an oil field, is the declaration made
by w. l.. McLaine, former superin-
tendent of the Associated Pipe Line
Company who has recently resigned
from that concern to assume the gen
eral management of the Lost Hills
property of the Crockers.
I'VE intend to begin development
work on a large scale" said McLaine,
land we ourselves are going to find
cut if the oil is there. We shall not
wait for someone else to prove up the
field"
McLaine said it was too early yet
to say how many strings would be run

Improvements to be made by the new
owners will be the installation of

if possible.

been some trouble on board of the YES

SUPREME COURT
CONTINUED from Page Four.)

Throughout the fight the reorganiza-
ton of 1899 was the storm-center, and
in defense of that action the legal
talent of the Standard directed its
energy.
Defense's Claims.
The claim was set up that the re-
organization of 1899 did not restrain
trade by reducing competition, because
"the properties involved in this suit
formed a non-competitive group prior
to the passage of the Sherman act in
1890 and their transfer TO the New
Jersey corporation in 1899 did not al
ter their status or restrict competi-
ton"
This same defense was made in the
Circuit Court. That court held that
the power of the principal company af-
ter the transfer of 1899 to fix the
prices at which the corporation should
buy and sell the articles in which they
dealt, the terms of their purchases
and sales, their rates for the transpor-
tation of oil and it's products and all
the infinite details of their vast opera
lions in which they might compete
was greater, more easily and quickly
exercised and hence more effective
than it could have been in the hands
of 5000 scattered stockholders. It
held that the corporations were poten-
TALLY competitive if not active com
petitors.
The government advanced the same
argument before the Supreme Court,
as it had done before the Circuit
court. The Standard replied by con-
tending that the doctrine of 'poten-
tial competition" would mean that one
person could be compelled to compete
with himself. The argument over the
subject and the discussion of what
constitutes a monopoly consumed
many hours of the hearing.
AS to its monopolistic tendencies,
the Standards attorneys entered a
denial, but boosted of it's largeness; as
the natural development and out
growth Of business begun nearly fifty
Years before.
"By untiring energy, with infinite
skill, with abundant capital and the
steady reinvestment of early profits,
said Mr.. Watson in his brief prepared
for the court, "these men and their
associates created out of an entirely
. new, unique and unprecedented pro-
duction of crude oil, a new, universal
ly used and cheapest illuminant the
world has known. They succeeded, as
if one had developed unexpectedly a
gold or diamond mine, and abundant
revenue legitimately became theirs"
The Black Flag.
The reply of the government to this
line of argument was summed up in
one outburst of Mr.. Kellogg in ad
dressing the court, when he shouted:
"They waved the black flag over the
land, as others had done over the sea-

were not washed, and the filth appar-
emily was permitted to remain, being
sprinkled over with saw-dust and some
kind of disnfectant The result was
an almost intolerable stencil, which eX-
listed even up to the day when the
vessel was examined by us.
NO conveniences whatever were
originally provided for the use Of chill
dren, and such as were provided were
improvised after the vessel had com
menced her voyage, and were in our
judgment wholly unfit from all stand
points.
mo arrangements seem to have
been made by which the immigrants
might keep themselves in a clearly
condition, had they so desired. No
bath rooms were provided, and up to
within few weeks of the completion
OF the voyage, the only way in which
bath of any kind could be INDUCED in
was in the public wash room. A
short time before the vessel arrived in
Honolulu, a water pipe was fixed up
in such a way that something resem-
bling a shower bath might be taken,
but there was little privacy even as to
this.
Disgusting Conditions.
mo attempt appears to have been
made to muster the passengers on the
upper deck when the weather permit
ted, as is provided by law. Nor was
any attempt whatever made to air or
clean the bedding of the immigrants.
The mattresses and beding used by
| them were never during the entire
voyage save in a few rare instances
where the passengers themselves act
ed, taken from the berths where they
were first placed. When the vessel
arrived at Honolulu, it became neces
sary to burn all of the mattresses.
"While it is true that the immigrants
on the vessel were of a class who are
not over-cleanly in their own homes
yet some of them evinced a desire to
in some degree better the conditions
existing on the boat. Some Of the pas
sengers improvised conveniences Of
their own. In any event, however, nc
opportunities were afforded them fol
keeping clean, and it is to be wondered
at that no more deaths occurred thar
actually did take place.
"On the whole, we are of the opinion
that the Passenger Act was in mum
Der of respects violated, and with tht
evidence before us, would probabl!
have returned indictments had it no
i been for the action of the owners o
the vessel in frankly submitting tn
facts to the Department of Commerce
and Labor for it's determination, ant
Iagreeing to abide by whatever decision
that department might make. We can
not emphasize too strongly the neces
sity for the observance of regulation

and sanitary condition. When poor
