WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Extor-

consumer, market manipulating, and
oppression OF competitors were the
misdeeds vigorously charged against
the Standard OIL Co, before the SUI
preme court OF the United States to-
day by government trust buster
Frank Il. Kellogg, In his second day
OF argument In the famous dissolu-

the favorite plea Of monopoly that

this benevolence have not been spe'

ard oil Co, yet he desired TO state,
should the. matter be referred to

had increased the price Of oil from
50 to S5 per cent--and this in the face
OF increased production

record to show that the Standard Oil

declared. But everything they did
was for their stockholders. They
reaped extortionate profits: they have
not cheapened anything"

geographical examination Of the'

A geographical examination OF thA'

cies were larger in number only In
the middle and western states, where.
as in every section but New England
liabilities showed more or less IN
crease as compared with 1903. In the
latter respect the returns for the MID
die group, embodying New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, were espe-
ciaIly unfavorable, total indeDteo-
ness OF $96,5S6,072. greatly exceeding
the $58,380,291 involved In the pre-
ceding year. The figures for New
England were fully $4.300,0O0 below
those of 1909. The southern, south
western. western and Pacific divisions,
however, made close comparisons
with 1909, the expansion in iaDiii-
ties not exceeding $2,400,00o In any
single case.
Although all but one of the central
states reported fewer failures than IN
the preceding year, a small number OF
defaults of exceptional size swelled
the total liabilities considerably above
those OF 1909, an aggregate OF 2,ZeO
snspensions, involving $34,520,9t7,

" with other years, except that in
1908 the total defaults were consider
ably greater. In the trading section
marked Improvement was shown In
the number OF suspensions. which
was 37S less than In 1909, but the
amount of liabilities did not reflect

MANY EVILS BRED
BY BAD HOUSING
Blighted Homes and Broken Hearts
Some of the Results, Rev. L. E.
Lovejoy Tells Pastors.

The Detroit Housing commission
is the city's faithful alarm clock" said
the Rev. L. E. Lovejoy, secretary or
the commission, in the course OF an
address before the Detroit Baptist
Minister'S conference, in the Wood
ward-ave. Baptist church, Monday
morning. 1T Is trying to arouse q
noble but unawakened citizenship to
determination, watchfulness, activ-
ity, aggression and civic triumph.
This hour, whether we recognize 1t or
not, marks critical hour in the his
tory of Detroit The city Is at turn
ing point. II IL growing apace. Four
decades have marked a growth from
n. 900 to a half million. The CONNER
cial and Industrial expansion is bring
ing thousands of families, creating a
scarcity OF houses, producing shame
full overcrowding and rapidly repro
ducing the shame and peril OF bad
housing already experienced by most
of the older and larger cities.
bad housing begets low ideals OF
living. n children are reared In an
environment OF filth, litter, dampness,
darkness, putrid odors. and immodest
family and neighborly relationships,
the future citizenship will consist OF
men and women willing to contest!
mselves, II not cheerfully. at least
without protest, with such conditions
Many child of the tenement has
grown to q noble and CONSPICUOUS ca
reer, but the vast majority are content
TO reproduce through long and tedious
lives, the conditions under which they
made their advent into the world.
bad housing sows the seed of i'm.
morality, OF betrayed womanhood
and of fallen virtue. The more bad
housing, the more Florence ritten-
den homes, the more reform schools.
the more tails. the more police. the
more divorces, the more blighted
homes and the more broken hearts.
bad housing already exists In De-
troit, but not to the degree suffered
by New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Lon
don and certain cities OF continental
Europe, but In a measure sufficient TO
threaten It's future welfare. The slum
Is hardly yet visible in Detroit. but
the clum-germ. with all its deadly
virus. is here
Mr. Lovejoy pointed out a number
OF bad housing conditions In the city,
relating h, Y many families were liv-
ing In quarters only large enough to
accommodate a small family.
At the close OF the address a gener-
al discussion took plao on the condi-
tons reveale by Mr.. Lovejoy, the
Rev. ron f. Adams making the
opening remarks. The speakers all
agreed that there is a large field for
the housing reform work in the city.

After Gilmore had lighted the fires

The noise was heard the second

table to investigate. The smell of
burnt powder greeted her as she open,

hands room she found him dead, as
the result of two self-infiicted wounds.
One shot had entered his forehead and
the other had torn a ragged hole
through his heart, causing instant
death.
