NEITHER STANDARD
OIL NOR TOBACCO
TRUST DISSOLVED
McReynolds Gives Views on
Enforcement of Sher-
man Law
FORECAST OF ANY
FURTHER ACTION
Protest Not Against Sherman Law,
But Against DEGREES of Dissolu-
tion--Tobacco Dissolution an
"Obvious Subterfuge"

Washington, June 5.--Neither the
the two greatest examples of the oper-
alton of Sherman antitrust law-has
been actually dissolved to meet the re-
quirements of the statute designed to
destroy monopolies according to the
Views OF Attorney General McReynolds.
This became known today, serving as
tion's trust policy. 1t was taken as a
forecast of possible further action
against the oil as well as. the tobacco
interests If the results of the invest-
cations just completed by the depart
ment of justice of the workings of the
oil dissolution DEGREES indicate that
there is a problem which still can be
dealt with under the Sherman law
Not Against Sherman Law
The Attorney Generals complaint is
not against the Sherman law, but
against the DEGREES of dissolution in
terpreted in the decisions of the United
States supreme court ordering the dis
memberment of the Standard Oil and
tobacco combinations into separate conf
petitive parts. He Is firmly convinced
that no trust, as in these two cases,
can be adequately dissolved by pro
rata distribution of the stock of Its
disintegrated parts among the same
stockholders who controlled the orig
inal combination. A community of COM
bination is bound to exist, he believes,
and competition cannot follow such
dtssolutions. The position of the Attor-
ney General is regarded as pregnant
with far reaching possibilities on the
trust question of the future. While
each combination must be dealt with
as a separate problem, officials point
out that experience indicates that dis
solutions of the future must be such
that the control of dislntegrated trusts
will pass to new hands.
"Obvious Subterfuge''
1t has been known that Mr.. Mercy
nolds looked upon the tobacco disso-
luton as an obvious subterfuge" but
1t did not develop until today that he
likewise placed the Standard Oil dis
solution in the category of inadequacy
Whether the Standard Oil or the to-
bacco trust DEGREES, Interpreting the de-
cisions of the supreme court was ap-
pealed. Although the Attorney General
has reached no final decision the con-
sensus of opinion of the government
lawyers at this time Is that it is now
too late to open up the DEGREES in either
case and whatever action is taken prob
ably Will be supplemental.

Senator Chamberlain Holds
Up Treaties With Three
Foreign Nations
CANAL PROBLEM
CAUSE OF ACTION
Contended That Renewal of Treaty
With Great Britain Might Compel
Submission of Canal Contro-
versy to the Hague

Washington, June 5.--upon objection
of senator Chamberlain. who contended
Tint n renewal of the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain might compel sub
troversy to The Hague the senate to-
day temporarily postponed action ON
renewals with Great Britain, spain sni
italy.
Renewals of these treaties, all three If
which have expired within the past few
DAYS, were favorably reported today by
the foreign relations committee and the
Senate went into executive session to con-
slider them. The treaties with Italy aud
Spain were promptly ratified. but when
that with Great britain was reached
Senator Chamberlain objected. After
some discussion 1t was agreed that If one
was to be held up even for a short time.
the others should not be ratified, and by
unanimous consent the former action was
reconsidered and all went over.
Protest Submitted
Great Britain's protest against the p.o-
3
free tolls to American vessels was sub
mitted several months ago long before tie
expiration of the ARBITRATION treaty Con-
sequently the British contention is that
whether the convention is renewed can
have no bearing upon a proposal to arhi-
trate this question:; that If the question
Is one for arbitration. the United States is
as much bound to submit 1t to arbitration
as 1t would have been il the treaty had
rot lapsed.
1t was not believed tonight that any If
the three treaties would be held up long,
although there may be some debate IN eS-
ecutive session when they are taken up.
With the Endorsement of the foreign reia-
tions committee behind them and the fact
that they existed for five years, their rati-
fication was generally regarded only
matter of time.
But One Objection
Senator Chamberlain is author of a res
olution, now in a pigeon hole of the l.
the Pauncefote and Clayton-Rulwer
trea ties. under which Great Britain and
the United States agreed concerning the
construction of the Panama canal He
was the only senator to voice an objec-
ton today, but it is known that Chair
man Bacon holds a view somewhat SINH
lar and Senator Root who drew up the
arbitration treaty when he was Secretary
of State, has conuended In debate that the
tolls question was subject for arbitration
under 1t.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Jan. 6.-New vege'
tables from the local territory are
coming on the Houston market now,
radishes, greens, potatoes, etc., and
this class of stuff is finding ready
market in Houston. New potatoes are
qouted at $500 per bushel to the
trade, while cabbage is in steady de-
mand at good prices. Tomatoes are
not much in evidence, but some are
finding their way out of storage.
Creamery butter is facing rise, as
advances have been noted in Northern
markets. Country butter is moving
freely in Houston, prices to the trade
being 10000. Receipts are more lib
eral and the demand is stronger.
There is plenty of feed in the country
and the output of milk is normal.
The new year opens with all the
gains and advantages achieved during
the last half of 1912 The new year
takes over from the old the increased
agricultural wealth resulting from the
big crops, the great activity in the
largest industries and the full en-
ployment of labor at high wages, in
surfing large buying. With this legacy
from 1912 the maintenance of salts
factory volume of business apparently
is assured.
Merchants during the week have
been busy with the inventory taking
and the trade. following the holiday
rush, is somewhat dull. Collections
are slow.

MANY ATTENDING
The Meetings at the Gospel Tent. In.
teresting Subjects Discussed Each


teresting Subjects Discussed Each
Night.
| The meetings at the Gospel Tent,
corner Of Irby and Earle streets, are
still continuing, and the interest is
increasing nightly. On Tuesday
night the subject presented was the
Sabbath question. Evangelist Achen-
bach remarked that it was a question
that is being discussed everywhere
throughout the religious world, and
that 1t deserves fair Investigation.
In the beginning of His remarks he
said that In the days of the apostles
when the gospel was preached In its
purity, 1t was necessary to admonish
the churches to adhere strictly to
what the bible taught. Paul in writ
lug to Timothy said Preach the
Word. He said that the same ad-
monttion applies at the present time,
and that in dealing with this question
we want to confine ourselves simply
to what the bible teaches.
The speaker said in part, The first
test that calls our attention to the
Sabbath is found in the second chap
ter of Genesis, the first three verses.
After the Lord had finished the works
of creation, he instituted the Sabbath
as memorial Of creation. There are
three steps mentioned which made
the seventh day the Sabbath. First,
God rested. This made it Gods rest
day. The next step was to bless the
seventh day. 1t was particular day
that God blessed, and not every day,
and that day was the seventh day. The
third act was to sanctify the seventh
day, or this day that he blessed To
sanctiy is to set apart for a holy
use. Jesus said that the Sabbath was
made for man 1t was set apart for
the good of mankind. These scrip
lures plainly reveal the fact that on
ly one day in the week has Gods bless
Ing resting upon it, and that this par
ticular day God has set apart for a
religious use. 1t would not be In
harmony with the bible IL were to
contend that every day was holy, be-
cause God only sanctified and blessed
the one day, and that was the seventh
day."
Many authorities were quoted in
tended to show that there is no scrip
tural authority for observing the first
daY Of the waelx
In closing his remarks he stated
that although he was observing the
seventh day, yet he wished 1t under
stood that he did not regard those
differing with him in this respect as
unchristian. but that he believed that
there were good and honest men and
women in all denominations; chris
tians who We're living up to all the
light they had. But that he believed
that when additional light comes II
brings additional obligations.
Next Sunday night the Change OF
the Sabbath will be discussed from
Dible as well as historical stand
point.
