Made Dec, 1.

New York, Nov. 16.-Plans for the
distribution Of the thirty-four subsi-
diary companies of the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey, to conform
with h mandate Of the United States
supreme court were made public yes
terday.
The thirty-nve companies including
the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, which will carry on the Standard
OIL business will have no directors or
officers In common, according to an
authority in the company.
They will carry out the full intent Of
the supreme courts decree and operate
as distinct units. with nothing in COM
mon. Later the court may be asked
for permission to allow a few combin-
atoms. 1t is pointed out that the SUI
preme court itself indicated that the
pipe lines might be combined to adj
vantage without violation Of the law
fractional amounts Of one share in sep
arate companies.
These stocks with the exception Of
the stock Of the Anglo-American Oil
Company, Ltd, will be ready for dis
~tribution on Dec. l. The stock Of the
Anglo-American Oil Company will be
distributed later.
The basis of distribution was de-
termined by the capitalizations Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
and its subsidiaries. Thus in the case
of h Atlantic Refining Company, a
holder of one share of the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey. received a
proportional interest in the capitalize
ton of the Atlantic Refining Company.

The Standard Oil Company Of New

salaries, will be maintained in its pres
ent corporate form, with the same Of
ficers.
The Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey declared a dividend for the last
quarter Of the year of 81 a share. This
is the last dividend to be declared be-
fore the company ~dissolves.
The Standard Oil Company Of New
York declared a dividend Of $40 a share
which is equivalent to a dividend Of
1906 a share on the stock Of the Stan
dard Oil Company Of New Jersey. The
regular Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey dividend for last quarter Of
year has been $40 a share.
Since the Standard Oil was given
corporate form in 1882 it has distribut-
ed about 1851, 900, 900 in dividends.

Reviews History Of Cunningham
Coal Case in Alaska.

| Clifford Pinchot has just made public
| in Washington the brief that he and
| his brother, Amos, have presented to
| President Taft in the Cunningham
coal lands The brief is 10000 words
| in length and reviews the history of
what Mr. Pinchot declares is fraud
| ulent plan to acquire for single as
ISOLATION, public coal lands in Alaska
lowed by law" According to the
brief, the area involved is about $3.50
acres and the coal is estimated to be
worth at least $25,000,000.
The Pinchot brothers asked permits
sion some weeks ago to present brief
on the Cunningham case before. the
president should approve the expected
recommendations of Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger that the Cunning
ham claims be validated Mr.. Bal
linger has not however, approved the
Cunningham claims, but has turned the
case over to President Taft with the
recommendation that it be put up to
the court of appeals of the District Of
Columbia for approval or disapprovai
The Pinchot brief was filed for the
presidents information. Much of the
evidence presented in the brief is old.
The Pinchot brothers charge that the
claimants made an unlawful agree
ment among themselves to defeat the
provisions of the United States stat
utes, limiting the holdings of any one
claimant to 100 acres, or any associa-
tion to $40 acres.
According to the Pinchots, each was
to swear he had made entry for his
own sole use, when as matter of
fact all understood that after title was
secured their interests should be con-
solidated.
eve believe" say the Pinchots,
that the duty of the executive In re-
gard to the Cunningham claims is OBJ
vious and immediate. The record, in
our judgment, abundantly proves that
the claims are illegal and that from
the beginning the claimants have
conspired to defraud the government.

of the case is necessary to secure JUS
tice and protect the peoples property.
The case against the claimants is al
ready conclusive. The claims should
be cancelled by the president.
"The Cunningham case is of enor-
nous Importance says the brief in
conclusion "It will decide whether
many millions of dollars worth of coal
lands, one of the richest deposits of
semi-bituminous coal on the North
American continent, shall be held in
trust for the people, or pass forever
to claimants charged with fraud, un-
der conditions which make monopoly
an imminent probability.
mo transfer of the Cunningham
cases to a court for a decision upon
the present record would relieve the
executive department of RESPONSE
bility for failure to have the case
against the claimants fully presented
by attorneys of experience and ability
and for emitting to produce all the
evidence of fraud available. The peo-
pie of the United States are entitled
to a full and reasonable presentation
of their case"
