when manufactures buys

which to facilitate or cheaper
production, he calls it an IN

"When he buys advertising
space he usually calls it an EN-

BIRD Man KILLED
Arch Hoxsey Meets Death
at Los Angeles in
Treacherous Wind.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. Arch Hox-
sey is dead. He met his death in the
aviation meet at Los Angeles Satur-
day afternoon Cross air currents at
a height of SIS feet to which he had
risen caused his machine to snoot down
TO earth and crush out his young life
fl the very zenith of his career.
Death was instantaneous, his body
was crushed and one side of his face
was smashed into an almost unreeog-
nizable mass.
Hoxsey was the greatest exponent
Of the Wright aeroplane- During the
week he had set a new worlds record
for height, rising to an altitude OF
11,474 feet and then later he sailed
more than 1000 feet above the highest
mountain peak in the state Of Califor-
niu.
Death came to him from a lesser
height than he had attained and his
was the 35th death recorded in the
annals Of aviation during the year.
His death here followed that Of
Moisant at New Orleans only q few
hours.
There were flying events at Aviation
Field Sunday but they were wholly
devoid of spirit and daring. The mem

Although the tobacco case is to be

attracted more attention. Attorney
general Wickersham has referred to
the Standard Oil case as probably the

Standard OH Suit.
The Standard Oil suit was instituted
in 1906 in the circuit court of the
United States for the eastern division
of the eastern judicial district of Mis-
scuri- The federal government was
the complaining party It claimed
that the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, as a holding company ac-
quired since 1899 and held by direct
stock ownership, 65 companies These
90, it was alleged, owned the stock
of 40 other companies, making a total
Of ia companies. The government
asked that this organization be dis
solved under the Sherman antitrust
law
A year was taken by the four judges
IN the circuit court to pass on the
case. By unanimous agreement. a de-
cree was entered by the court dissolv-
ing the organization, both because il

to monopolize." Before the decree be-

case to the supreme court.

almost all Of them carried bells and

All three cases attracted worldwide
attention when first presented to the
court about year ago. With the
object Of procuring consideration by

About three days viii be required for

Crucial Test of the Law.
The Standard Oil and the tobacco
cases put the Sherman antitrust law
to the most crucial test to which it has
been subjected during the 20 years of
its existence. The corporation tax
cases place on trial the power of the
government over corporations.
