KELLOGG FLAYS
TRUST TACTICS
Makes Enormous Profits - zone
Small Pipe Line" Yields $23,ooo,-
900 to Standard.

Washington, Jan 14-Painting the
Standard Oil organization as bred by
depressing competitors and hanging as
la threatening cloud over the country.
Frank B. Kellogg, special assistant to
the attorney general of the United
States, Friday pleaded with the su-
.preme court to dissolve the Standard
oil company of New Jersey as violative
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Kellogg gave the beginning of
the governments side of the contro-
versy and probably will complete it
Monday or Tuesday. Mr.. kellogg
spoke for nearly four hours following
the closing remarks in the case of John
G. Milburn for the Standard Oil com
pany.
Mr. Kellogg went over the early
years of the Standards business lead
ing up to the central point of the pres
ent controversy, the reorganization of
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey, in 1899. He characterized this
reorganization as merely the substitu-
tion of one illegal form of holding to-
gether the oil companies for another
illegal form. The first was the trust"
of 1882, with it's several trustees, and
the second, the STANDARD of New
Jersey"
Touching on a point of the defense,
Mr.. Kellogg said if the companies
whose stock was procured by the
~tandard in 1899 were not competing.
it was because they were held to-
gether in illegal trusts, that of 1879
and that of 1882.
"Toke away the fear of prosecution
by the government and the Standard
Oil would put every independent out
Of business in five years." Mr. Kel- |
logg continued. "The independents
'an exist only under the protection of |
he law" Mr.. kellogg dwelt upon the |
enormous profits of the companies

Hale reported his embassy to Call
fornia on behalf of the Healani Boat
Club as crowned with success, and
within a year it will probably be that
oarsmen from Honolulu will be found
defending the islands from a projected
attack by the Frisco clubs, or that
the boys from Hawaii will be found
threatening the stronghold along the
coast. Hale was empowered by the
committee of the Healani club to eX-
plain to the amateur oarsmen at San
Francisco the conditions which pre-
vail here with regard to rowing and
also to make preliminary arrange
ments for race between the Healanl
Boat Club and the clubs along the
coast, but more particularly against
the Californian clubs. How we'll Hale
has succeeded is shown by the re-
ports he brings from the clubs at San
Francisco.
Without exception, the idea was
taken up with enthusiasm; the three
leading clubs in the bay, the Ariel,
the Dolphins and the Southends, to
say nothing of the Alameda Boating
Club, embraced the suggestion with
outstretched arms and eagerly dis
cussed probabilities. The Pacific
Amateur Association of Oarsmen held
a meeting to consider the project and
piled Hale with questions regarding
Honolulu rowing. Hale was able to
answer them readily, and the pro-
posal was acclaimed with delight. OF
course, such a proposition as this can
not be pushed through without due
consideration, but now that the Frisco
clubs have been sounded and the re-
sponse is gratifying, all that requires
to be done is to perfect the necessary

That this policy on the part of the
employers of San Francisco would lead
to a great strike is regarded as GER
tain by all familiar with the situation
in San Francisco, which is the great
stronghold of labor unionism. The

EDITOR SMITH ARRIVED
ON THE SIERRA THIS MORNING

Walter G. Smith, who will take the
editorship of The Star in few days,
arrived this morning on the Sierra.
His health has been fully restored by
sixteen months residence in San
Francisco, during which time he has
been editorially connected with the
Chronicle and The Argonaut.
Mr.. Smith says that Honolulu is a
buster place than 1t was when he
left; at least there is more hustle on
the streets. He notes many improve
ments but none that has taken away
from the charm of the place.
On leaving here year ago last Sep
tember, Mr.. Smith put his household
goods in storage and as soon as he
finds a bungalow to put them in will
begin to feel again like an established
citizen. He is now staying at the
Alexander Young.
Speaking of the political situation
in California Mr.. Smith said that the
insurgent Republicans were in full con-
troll, all along the line. "They have
