JOHN o. ROCKEFELLER.

Washington, May 1.-THE Standard
oil company of New Jersey and it's 10
subsidiary corporations were declared
today by the supreme court of the
United States to be conspiracy and
combination In restraint of trade. 1t
also was held to be monopolizing In
terstatc commerce In violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law. The dissolu-
tion of the combination was ordered
to take place within six months.
Al the same time the court interpret
cd the sherman antitrust law so as to
limit It's application to acts of undue"
restraint of trade and not every re-
straint of trade. 1t was OH this point
that the only dscordant note was
heard In the court Justice Harlan
dissented. claiming that cases already
decided by the. court had determined
once for all-that the word undue" or
unreasonable" or similar words were
not In the statute. He declared that
the reasoning of the court In arriving
at It's finding was In effect legislation
which belonged in every instance to
congress and not to the courts.
Business World Prayers.
Ever since the decree in this case In
the lower court the United States cir
cult court for the eastern district of
Missouri was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business world"
that the law would be modified so as
not to interfere with what was desig-
mated honest business. Tonight that
section of the opinion calling for the
use of the rule of reason in applying
the law Is regarded In many quarters
as an answer 10 the prayers of the
business world"
The opinion OF the court ",as an
nounced by Chief Justice White In
printed form 1t contained more than
10000 words. For nearly an hour the
chief justice discussed the case from
the bench, going over most Of the
points In the printed opinion, but not
once referring to 1t in order to re-
fresh his memory.
Before him sat an audience of the
most famous men of the country. Sen
ators and representatives left their
chambers in the capitol to listen to the
epoch making decision of the court

but to their dismay the announce
ment of the decision was not begun
until an hour after the close of the
stock markets.
No Tobacco Trust Decision.
Many expected that the decision in
the dissolution suit against the tobac-
co corporation would be handed down
Immediately after the decision In the
Standard Oil case. This was not done,
however, but the decision Is expected
on May 20, the last decision day of
the court until next October
The opinion of the court was con-
strucd to mean that the tohacco case,
like every other case In which re-
straints of trade are alleged, must be
subjected to the new test of reason
ableness for the restraint. as laid down
In the Standard Oil decision.
BY far the greater portion of the
opinion OF the chief justice was de-
voted to the justification OF the court
In requiring that the rule of reason"
be applied to restraints of trade before
Sherman antitrust law. The court
found this justification In the common
law of the forefathers and in the gem
eral law of the country at the time the
Sherman antitrust law was passed.
Chief Justice White In his opinion
first reviewed the preliminary pro-
ceedings In the case In the circuit court
of the United States for the eastern
district of Missouri. He dismissed the
objection to the jurisdiction in few
words by holding that 1t was not well
founded. He then came to the .argu-
ments as to the law and the facts in
the ease, saying that out of the
Jungle" of law and facts. both sides
We're agreed that the detern' nation OF
the controversy rested upon the proper
construction and application of the
first and second sections of the anti
trust acts
In this state Of affairs the CHEZ JUS
tice seized upon the single point OF
concord, namely, the application Of ,he
two sections of the Sherman anti trust
law. as the initial basis of an exam
ination of the contradiction. The rest
of his opinion divided itself into con-
slueIdtiol ol liie iicaiililB VI tHe Si,ei-
man antitrust law in the light OF the
common law and of the law of the
United States at the time of its adop-
tion, the contentious of the parties
concerning the act and the scope and
effect of the decisions of tire supreme
court, the application Of the statute TO
the facts, and, lastly, the remedy.
Meanino of tha SActions
In striving to get at the meaning of
the two sections of the law he said
the sole subject with which the first
section dealt was restraint of trade
