WILL OBEY THE LAW
STANDARD OIL ATTORNEY SAYS
COMPANIES AFFECTED BY DE-
CISION WILL SEPARATE.
NO PLAN YET DECIDED UPON
Tobacco Case Ruling VIII Determine
Taft PoIicy-President Satisfied
With Decision of Supreme Court,
Despite His Former Views.

New York. AT 26 Broadway,
Standard Oil headquarters, Off.
Gals of the company seemed to be in
anything but a gloomy mood over the
Supreme court decision. Their atti-
tude showed clearly that they had ex-
pected such an opinion for some time
and were ready for it.
Two points are clear. First, that
there will be no contumacy by the
company-it proposes to obey the de-
cree; and, second, that it will be some
time before any plans of reorganiza-
ton are given out.
The company has insisted through
out that no plans had been formulated
in advance Of the decree, and the
statement made by Mortimer F. FL
liot, general solicitor for the COM
pany, takes the same attitude. He
said:
Having only before us the press
reports Of Chief Justice Whites oral
opinion and the remarks of Justice
Harlan, and not having seen the opin-
ion of the court in full, it is impossible
to make any lengthy statement. The
full opinion must be read and studied
by my associates and myself before
it can be intelligently dealt with.
1T may, however, be said that the
Standard Oil company will obey the
decree of the court and that all the
companies embraced in the courts de-
cree will carry on their business as
usual under the direction of their own
officers and through their own cor
porate organizations"
Washington. Until the SUI
preme court has rendered its decision
In the pending case of the tobacco
trust the administration will formulate
no policy based on Mondays far-reach-
ing decision. The manner in which
the court will now apply the rule laid
down in the Standard Oil case to the
facts presented in the suit against the
tobacco trust become the paramount
issue with department officials.
So far as the effect of the decision
is concerned, both the president and
Acknowledgement Wickersham declared
that they were perfectly satisfied; and
neither would permit himself to be
drawn into any expression of opinion
with regard to the point made by Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan in his dramatic
dissent. Not even the quotations from
President Taft's previous utterances,
which seem to put him at variance
with the majority view of the court
served to bring forth any explanation
from Mr.. Taft. In conversation with
callers on this point, he merely re-
ferred to the fact that every man was
entitled to 4 view on the circum-
stances before the Supreme court had
passed on case; but once the court
had decided, it Is the presidents opin-
ion that patriotic duty and a regard
for American institutions require that
every citizen loyalty accept the view
of the Supreme court as his own.

INTELLIGENT DOGS.

If one may Judge by the size of the
claims presented in the various coun-
ties for sheep killed by dogs, we are
rapidly losing the best of our sheep
in Kentucky, and the dogs are show
ing an almost human discrimination
in mutton, says the Louisville Cour-
ier-Jouranl. Sheep killed by dogs are
valued at anywhere from Sc to $12
apiece. From this it appears that the
dogs must be given to killing Cots
wolds and Southdowns in full fleece.
In one western Kentucky county it
has been discovered that sheep are
very generally listed for taxation at
81 a head. In the same county the
claims allowed for bucks, ewes and
lambs killed by dogs range from So to
$12. If the assessors report is to be
believed, there must be tremendous
pull down the average to 81 head,
and the dogs must exercise mighty
good judgment in avoiding the SCALA
wags" when they go forth on a slaugh-
tering expedition. The dogs are show
ing marked preference for high
class mutton that presently, it is to
be apprehended, there will be no
blooded sheep left in that particular
county. Dead sheep seem to be more
valuable than live ones, and 1t is diff
ficult to account for such a situation
unless it be that Kentucky dogs are
progressing extraordinarily in acumen
and in fastidiousness. Under such
circumstances it might be well to
raise the dog tax or to import a
considerable number Of CANNES that
are not SO alfred smart

FIRMS.
WlCKERSHAM BEGINS ACTION
UNDER SHERMAN ANTI
TRUST LAW.
CONSPIRACY is THE CHARGE
Government Starts Suit to End Trust
Alleged to Hold Buyers at Its
Mercy All Over Country-More
Than $50 Named as Defendants.

New York-Sweeping and sensa-
tional charges of gigantic conspiracy
to maintain high prices, to blacklist
concerns not regarded as proper"
trade, and to violate generally the
Sherman antitrust law are made in a
General Wickersham in the United
States circuit court here against the
lumber trust.
This is the governments first anti
trust suit conforming to the Supreme
courts decision in the case of the
Standard Oil company. II was declared
by government officials that this is
merely a precursor of succession of
similar suits to be brought against
the giant monopolies of the country
which have been responsible for the
increased cost of living
Ten trade organizations and more
than $50 individuals are named as de-
PENDANTS. They are alleged to have
conspired among themselves and with
the assistance of the National Whole
sale Lumber Dealers association to
prevent wholesalers from selling di-
rectly or indirectly to consumers.
The defendant corporations are:
The Eastern States Retail Lumber
Dealers association of New York,
with offices at Is Broadway.
The New York Lumber Trade asso-
citation of this city.
The Building Material Mems asso-
citation of Westchester county, N. Y.
The Lumber Dealers association of
Connecticut.
The Lumber Dealers association of
Rhode Island.
The Retail Lumbermen's association
of Baltimore.
The officers and directors, trustees
and members of the following are
named as individual defendants, as
well as the officers and directors and
members of the following voluntary
organizations: The New Jersey Lum-
bermen's Protective association of
Philadelphia and the Lumber Elk
change of the District of Columbia.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Special Assistant Clark McKercher

"poachers," "scalpers,' mavericks"
and ''illegitimate dealers" to whom
"short shifts" must be applied.
Officials both here and in Washing
ton said that the advisability Of Grim
inal actions against individual officials
of the trust would depend upon the
nature of the evidence adduced at the
trial
Many of the great Industrial con-
Germs of the country, it is alleged. have
been put under the ban of the
trust.
The government takes the position
that any agreement or act which pre-
vents consumer from buying where
he chooses, or to his best advantage, is
in unreasonable" restraint of trade.
The department of justice has been
making a nationwide investigation of
the lumber situation, and Attorney
General Wickersham has found that it
is parallel with that of many other
commodities in daily use. If the courts
sustain the governments contention
there is every likelihood of a sweep
ing attack all along the line.

Chinese Educational Puzzle.

1t is generally recognized that China
has set to work at the wrong end of
her education problem. China
has begun at the top, has tried to
establish universities without prepar-
ing students for them, and all the low
er rungs of the ladder are SO badly
constructed that it is almost impos.
sible for the student to mount by

The Injured.

The Injured.
Antoine Emmanuel Ernest Monis,
premier and minister of the interior.
Antoine Monis, son of the premier.
Henri Deutsch De La MOurthe, the
aged patron Of aeronautics.
A large number of other persons or
note had narrow escapes from injury.
The accident occurred on the aviation
field at Issy Les Molineaux, where
100000 persons had gathered TO see
the start of the race.
M. Train was plotting the mono
plane that wrought such havoc. With
him in the car was M. Bounier, pas
senger. Neither of these men was
injured. The machine was wrecked.
Minister of War Berteaux was hor-
ribly mangled. The swiftly revolving
propeller cut off clearly his left arm,
which was found ten feet away from
the spot where he was struck; the
back of his head was crushed in, his
throat gashed and the whole of his
left side cut and lacerated.
Premier Monis was buried beneath
was taken out as quickly as possible
and examined by military surgeons
who found that he had sustained COM
pound fractures of two bones in the
right leg; that his nose was broken,
his face badly confused, and that there
were bruises on the breast and abdO-
men.
n 0o%
seriously hurt.
Among those who had narrow es-
capes from injury was M. Lepine, the
project of police.
The breeze had been steadily fresh
ening and the meteorological observer
in the Eiffel Tower telephoned that
his gauge showed a velocity OF close
to 80 miles an hour.
Train, however, left the ground.
Ascending swiftly, ne circled the great
field, curving round to the starting
line, and then, flying down the course
at 40-mile-an-hour gait, the machine
rocking in the gusty wind.
The pilots attention seemed mo-
mentarily to have been diverted from
his course, and he made a quick turn
to the left, toward where the party Of
officials were standing. Then he lost
control of the craft altogether and it
dashed violently into the ministerial
group.
The impact knocked M. Berteaux 10
blood, badly mangled, while under the
wreckage of the monoplane lay Pre-
mier Monis, his son and Mr.. Deutsch.
Train and M. Bounier emerged from
the wreck uninjured.
A scene of frightful confusion fol-
lowed the fall of the monoplane.
From all parts of the aviation field
arose cries of alarm and dismay, and
tens of thousands of persons broke
through the lines and moved toward
the scene of the accident. The caval-
ry, by repeated charges, managed to
clear the field, and the injured men
were given Observation-Disclosures treat
ment by the field surgeons.
There are various versions as to
the cause of the accident, but every
one seems agreed that it occurred with
such frightful rapidity that there was
no time for Mr.. Berteaux, NJ Monis
and the others injured to escape.
M. Berteaux' body was placed in
closed automobile and escorted from
the field by squadron of dragons,
with swords at salute, while tens of
thousands of persons stood uncovered.
The body of the late minister of war
lies at the ministry in the same room
from which his predecessor, General
Brun, was buried.
