LINCOLN. Jan. 1L--tSpecial senator
n. A. Cox Of Kearney enjoys a distinction
unique in the fact that he is the only re-
publican on record who ever asked W. ].
Bryan for an endorsement. Incidentally.
he failed to get 1t. When Bryan was
campaigning at Holdrege last fan he made
the statement that IL both candidates for
the legislature in that district had signed
statement No. 1 he would prefer the man
who favored county option.
Cox, it seems, had not yet signed the
statement but he sent the Peerless a
note declaring his willingness TO sign and
asking Bryan to endorse him in his speech.
But the eloquence turned loose did not in
clude Mr.. Cox, for Bryan thought a
promise to sign was not enough. Cox
finally rose right up in meetin and de-
manded that Mr.. Bryan carry out his
threat Of endorsing a county option re-
publican. but Bryan sarcastically refused.
Cox. however, has a seat in the house,
and that is what he was after
While the house committee on commit
tees was meeting in the Lincoln hotel Tues
day night the spectators i'm the lobby were
amused at the frequency with which some
member or other would come down in the
elevator, trot over to the desk telephone
and call up some adviser. The discussions
over the phone were always in a low SEN
tentlous tone and the face of the mem
Der would always grow less worried and
more confident as he talked. Usually the
men who telephoned were drys and It was
whispered about the lobby that one
brother of the peerless leader, whose first
name is Charlie was the man whose adj
vice was being continually asked.

FINAL STAND OF OIL COMBINE
Argument Begins in Supreme Court
This Afternoon.
MnLBURN OPENS FOR DEFENSE
History of suit for Dissolution Of the
BiR Corporation which started
I'm -. Louis Four
Wears AwO.

WASH NGTON. Jan. 1.-THE final fight
Of the standard Oil company for its very
existence under the present organization is
expected to begin late today In the supreme
court OF the United states.
The argument in the tobacco dissolution
suit is expected to be concluded about half
an hour before court adjourns. according
to the agreement entered into by counsel
last week.
John G. Milburn then will lay before the
court the foundation for the, defense for
the Standard against the proposed dissolu-
ton under the Sherman antitrust law.
The suit under the Sherman antitrust
law to dissolve the standard oil organiza-
ton was instituted in 1905 in the circuit
court Of the United states for the eastern
district Of Missouri. The proceedings were
begun by the Department Of Justice IN
the name Of the United States against ia
corporations and seven individuals.
The principal corporation was the Stand
ard oil company of New Jersey. From
1882 TO the present time this company is
said to have operated refineries itself
but in 1899 its stock was Increased TO
500 100000 so as to enable it to acquire the
stock OF nineteen other oil companies
which in turn owned large number Of
companies, concerned in the oil business.
The Standard Oil company Of New Jer-
sey was designated as a holding company
and is similar to the American Tobacco
company, the organization of which was
considered by the court during the last
few days
seven individuals Named.
The seven individuals named in the suit
as defendants were: John d. Rockefeller.
! William Rockefeller Henry N. Flagler.
Henry H. Rogers, John d. Archbold,
oliver II. Payne and Charles NJ. Pratt.
The part these men are said to have
played In the alleged violation Of the sher-
man antitrust law has been summarized
! by the government as follows:
! About 1870 the Rockefellers and Flagler
conceived the purpose of controlling the
petroleum trade. both domestic and ex-
port and obtaining a monopoly thereof.
! They entered into a conspiracy to accom-
plish this purpose, which from time to
time took the form of various combina-
tons. Shortly after 1870 the Rockefellers
and Flagler were Joined in the conspiracy
by Rogers, Archbold, Payne and Pratt
The form which the alleged conspiracy
took is described by the government as
being from 1870 to 1889, "a combination
between large number of manufacturers
who acted in harmony and whose stock
interests were pooled in the hands Of three
trustees in 1879" From 1882 to 1889. the
form OF the alleged combination was that
of trust agreement whereby the stock
of a large number Of corporations was
placed in the hands of trustees. who man
aged the property. From 1899 to the pres
ent time, the combination is alleged to
have taken the form Of a holding COM
pany. the Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey.
