or violets. And for any one of those
three articles you could buy at least hVe
packages of cigarettes a half dozen good
cigars sixteen glasses of-but what's the

There's Just one consolation for this
young chap-and one that his pap or his
grandpap didn't have. According to the

That's some consolation. surely for

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-A further effort
of the indicted Chicago meat packers
unconstitutional, void and ofono force

today. -"
The latest move was a surprise to
the government and consisted in the
surrender to the United States mar
shall Of the packers, and an imme-
diate appeal to United States Circuit
Judge C. C. Kohlsaat for a writ of
habeas corpus. The arguments win
be heard on Thursday.
The request for a decision on the
constitutionality of the Sherman anti
trust law before undergoing trial was
said to have been taken as a neces-
sary step to carry the case before the
United States Supreme Court with
out the cost or delay of trial.

members of the national monetary
commission, went to the dinner Civ
en- last night by the Western Econom-
ical Society in the Auditorium Ho-
tel, but hurried from the speakers
table q few minutes after the guests
were seate.
Mr. Moneys hurried departure
caused much comment. One story
was that when he saw a negro sit
ting directly in front of him with
the diners he grew angry. and de-
manded why the negro was sitting
with white persons. When told that
the man was member of the So
ciety, Mr. Money left the hall.
When seen in his room an hour
later, Mr.. Money said that he had
left the dinner because he was trou.

DIVIDING
UP STOCK
STANDARD OIL COMPANY LAYS
DOWN THEIR SCHEME OF
DIVISION
FOR ITS 34 COMPANIES

New York, Nov. 16.-Plans for the
distribution of stock of the thirty
four subsidiary companies of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
to conform with the mandate of the
Supreme Court of the United States
were made public TO-DAY and show
that the holders of one share OF
Standard Oil Of New Jersey stock
will receive varying amounts in the
separate companies in fractions OF
one share.
These stocks will be ready for dis
tribution on December Is.
The basis of distribution was de-
termined by the capitalization of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey and it's subsidiaries. Thus, in the
case OF the Atlantic Refining Com
pany, a holder of one share of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
received a proportional interest in the
Irregularities IN the cotton bills fol
Company in this case 1896, ,983383rds
Of one share.
The Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey having divested itself of it,
subsidiaries will be maintained in its
present coporate form with the same
officers.
The 35 companies including the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer
sey which will carry on the Stand
ard Oil business will be directed by
no officers in common, according tC
an authority in the company. They
will carry out the full intent of the
Supreme Courts decree and with ths
distribution of their stock will begiI
operating as distinct units with moth

AIdrich Chief Speaker.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. TO- Cur
rency reform and the proposed
change in the banking system of
the country as outlined by the Ma
tional Monetary Commission formed
the central theme under consideration
by the delegates to the Transmits
sissipp1 Commercial Congress, which
convened today in auual session.
The principal address was deliver
ed by former Senator Nelson w.
Aldrich, chairman of the commission
who explained the proposed plan
He asserted that people of this re
gion would derive general benefits
from the proposed change in banking
conditions.
"The Organization of credit he
said,%is the most important element
of the successful existence of com
munities or States. This is especial
ly valuable to the, newer communities
such as you have in the transmits
sissippi territory
Referring to the criticism that pos
sibly the proposed national reserve
might be determined by political ill
fuences, Mr.. Aldrich said that NJ
sensible plan for the reorganization
of the country's banking system could
be controlled by politics.
Neither can it be dominated DJ
Wall Street nor any clique in New
York or elsewhere" he said.
Mr.. Aldrich said that the new pla-
would give a uniform rate of discount
throughout the country and that i
would offer more competition to for
eign banks. He commended the pro
posed plan to allow national banks
to have savings departments.
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary o
War, urged upon his hearers the i'm
portance of the country's trying TO
closer commercial relations witt
