 New York

Montgomery, September 11.-(Special)- Dan w. Trawick assistant clerk in the state convict department, has gone to New York to spend two weeks in the study of the Bertillon system, which will be installed in the Alabama prisons.

 The establishment of the Bertilon sys- tenn of detecting and identifying con victs in this state has been in contem- plation by Governor O'Neal and President James G. Oakley of the state convict board for some months. with the result that the governor recently decided that the installation of the system in the Ala bama prisons was imperative, and ar arrangements were immediately made to send representative of the convict de- partment to New York to make thor ough study of the system.
 Mir. Trawick will be absent for about two weeks, and the installation of the system in the state penitentiary at We tumpka will follow immediately upon his return from New York.

NO OF
 STANDARD O|L CO.
Attorney Argues Govern ment Has No Power to
 Dissolve Corporation

Chicago, September 1.-The Stan dard oil company has not been dis solved. The federal government can not dissolve the corporation because a dissolution must come from the state which gave it its charter" said Levy Mayer, counsel for the Standard oil company and the Corn Products Re- fining company today.
 The statement was made in argu- ments in the suit of George F. Harding before Federal Judge Ferdinand A. Gieger. Attorney Mayer explained that while the properties of the Standard have been dissolved in accordance with the decree of the United States supreme court, technically there has not been and could not be dissolution of the corporation itself.
 Arguments were on a motion to have the Standard oil company and the Corn Products Refining company appear to answer to charges in suit of several years standing for the appointment of a receiver for the Corn Products Refln- ing company and its two allied com- panies.
 Attorney William J. Ammon, repre- senting Harding. remarked in his argu- ment:
 You will please take judicial notice that the Standard oil company has been dissolved"
 MT. Mayer then made the declaration explaining how the Standard oil com pany had been dissolved only as re- lates to its properties and holdings.

 Flowers

He explained the attitude of the progress sive party on the trust question, defend- ed the recall of judicial decisions and appealed to the people of Oregon to stand by the progressive party on the ground that it alone represented them.
 It was said that 17,500 roses were in the howery carpet which stretched from the colonels car to his automobile, and it is said they would have cost S10000 in Oyster Bay.
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke at a luncheon, talked with the oregon progressive lead CTS, headed a parade through the city on which he made three speeches, and toward night addressed the largest crowd of the day in a tabernacle erected for revival meetings.
 The crowd cheered, sang and waved Some of the men wore their bandannas wrapped about their heads like cooked hats. A good deal of noise was made with a song which was half cheering and half singing:
 "E-yip, Our Teddy is here today.
 E-yipl Our Teddy, hoorahl"
 Colonel Rooseyelts conference with Oregon progressive leaders was inter- rupted by crowds which focked to his rooms and he finally had to hold a recep- tion.

 Illinois

John w. Altman, the well known at torney, has returned from an extended trip to Indiana and Illinois. He said yesterday that in both those states 1t appears that Wilson will get the elec- toral vote, and that Roosevelt will run second. Mir Altman said there was no chance for Taft as the friends of the President had seemingly quit fighting.
 "The people in those two states study the political situation like they do private affairs" said MT. Altman. For instance, I met several men who could fell me more about political affairs Tn Alabama than some of our best in- formed politicians here. They have II all figured out. They have to do that in order to keep in good business con dition. They all think that Wilson Is the leading man, at this time. ma iority of them think Wilson will be The second choice Is for Roosevelt. as no well informed per son in that section will say that Taft will stand any show. Governor Mar shall Is mighty strong in Indiana and any doubts of his taking that state Tor the democrats might as well be aban- doned"

KOLB CONSIDERS RULING ON
 FERTILIZER SHIPMENTS GOOD

CTS union declared that they considered the ruling unjust; that it Is 'inconsist7 Il ent with all the teachings of the eXperi- ment stations, Iarm demonstrations and
 farmers unions," and that the rUling1 eliminates the farmer from the saving of $1 50 per ton or $30 per car on| fertilizer provided he prefers to buy i1I bulk"
 The committee further declared
 We believe the farmer has a peffeet| right to buy his fertilizer put up in| any way he may designate, be 1t in al paper lined car, wagon bed, "r wooded drum, or in any way that may orove| most economical to the individual user.
 In his reply to the Farmers unionI Captain Kolb declares that the law does| not allow the sale of fertilizer to con- sumers without being put in bags, and that his department was created large-| ly for your protection, and the legisla-| ture in it's wisdom passed such laws asI they thought would protect them from the avarice of the shyster, manufac- turer or dealer.'
