Missouri's Efforts to Retain
Standard Oil Fruitless.
Governor Major Vetoes Bill
Passed by Legislature.
TO PROTECT SUGAR CREEK
Measure Would Save Homes
Built by Employees.
Major Said Act Would Nullify
Antitrust Law.

Jefferson City. April 9.-Governor
Major today vetoed the bill permitting
the Standard Oil company to continue
business in Missouri, lin spite of the
custer decree of the state supreme
court.
Governor Major, in vetoing the bill
which was passed near the end of the
recent session of the legislature, said
the proposed law nullified the anti
trust laws of the state, and discrimi-
mated in favor of a foreign corpora
tion having a factory in Missouri and
against domestic corporations in that
it made no provision for concerns of
the latter class that are ousted again
to engage in business in Missouri.
The bill was passed in order to pro-
tect the town Of Sugar Creek, a sub
urb of Kansas City, where a large
Standard Oil refinery is located. En-
ployees of the refinery urged that to
oust the Standard Oil company from
the state would destroy their employ
had built homes.
Let Other Companies Come.
In reply to this argument, the gov
ernor said the custer of the company
does not necessarily destroy the Sugar
Creek refinery because the Standard
Oil company can sell it's plant there
to other companies now in existence
or to companies that may hereafter
be organized.
eff the company can be relieved of
it's embarrassment" says the veto, sit
must be done by the courts alone, be-
cause the legislature cannot do so
without destroying the efficiency of the
law and the principles upon which
they are founded.
Should this bill become law, the
state would be going through the use
less performance of thrusting the Of
Tending corporation through the win
dow, and inviting it to return to the
best room in the home through the
front door. No other ousted corpora
ton could enjoy the same privilege"
The bill vetoed by the governor to-
day provided that the Standard Oil
company could remain in Missouri by
paying triple the license fee required
of other corporations

REIGN OF TERROR
Wealthy Families Leave City of
COnstantinOple.
Terrorist Regime Has Aroused
Entire Country.

London, April "a Vienna dis
patch to the Chronicle describes the
reign of terror existing in CONSTANT
nople:
Hundreds of wealthy families are
leaving daily to escape the terrorist
regime established by the young Turk
government which pretends to have
proofs that Prince Wahid Eddin is
conspiring to have himself proclaimed
sultan. Wahid Eddin's palace was
surrounded by soldiers Saturday night
and the prince was forbidden to
leave it.
''As the prince refuses to leave Tur-
key willingly, the government is
anxious to induce the sultan to expel
him.
About 200 officers and citizens i'm
plicated in the conspiracy were arrest
ed Saturday night. The espionage
system established is worse than at
any time under the reign of Abdul
Hamid.
THE lower classes are highly dis
quieted and the ferment in the army
is growing worse daily"

hundred years monarchy.
This placid country has been the
theater of many violent experiments
in government. In the sixteenth GEN.
tury II fought spain with a heroic
fury which at last won for IL inde-
pendence. In the seventeenth century,
under our william III. II stood in the
path OF Louis XIy's dominance of Eu-
rope. In the eighteenth century and
early nineteenth century the decay of
its own powers reduced Ii to the level
Of a Napoleonic province. with a broth

battle of Leipzig gave Holland its op-
portunity. 1t recalled the House of
Orange.

Prince Arthur Of Connaught was due to

whispered In Mayfair. actually carried
her Jealousy so far as 10 fear that some
of the royal and visiting princesses, or
even peeresses, would outshine her in
regard TO toilet OF personal charm.
This really is carrying her social and
court power too far. These PROFESSIONS
have been fixture at all royal weddings
In England for centuries, and though
several Of Britain's Queens have been
rather" plain OF feature, not one of them
has had the temerity TO deprive the popu-
lace of an exquisite spectacle to which
thousands look forward on such occa-
sfons.
And the King! OF course, he gave in.
He always does, and TASK May is the
best any one of the family ever can get

Is recalled that the former Princess May
OF Teck had been betrothed TO the Kings
elder brother, the Duke Of Clarence, and
that, in her unquenchable desire TO be-
come a Queen she got her aunt, Queen
Victoria, almost in record time after her
betrothed's demise to urge, almost COM

Of York-the present King-I am not sur

Under these circumstances il Is but
small wonder that society, and especially
the ladies Of the peerage while compelled
by court etiquette to bow to the Queens
manifestos, try to keep from appearing
at court as much as that same etiquette
viii permit.

in which Lady Diana proposed to ap-
pear. She glanced at II, and forthwith
| the King was instructed TO say to his
| host that Lady Diana must wear a
fuller" costume. When the informa-
tion was conveyed to Lady Diana, in
stead of wearing a fuller costume, she
excused herself from the party on the
ground of i'll health. She is. the daugh-
ter of the Duke and Duchess of Rut-
land, who hold high position in Brit
! ish society.
To decline TO attend 4 royal party
when invited Is something like high
treason. The King and Queen are su-
preme autocTats in social matters.
Lady Diana's action. therefore, has
| created painful situation in court cir
cles. 1t emphasizes the fact that the
gay element Of fashionable society is
becoming more distinct from court life,
with which II was so intimately identi-
fed in King Edwards time.
When quite young King George was
fond of smoking. During the years he
spent in the navy there was nothing he
liked better than TO pull on an old briar
pipe. After his accession to the throne
he began to smoke cigars. The Queen
told him that he had to stop the prac-
tice because IL was bad for his health.
NOW ne seldom smokes anything
stronger than a cigarette. and he does
that with a furtive look. II is significant
that Queen Mary explains to society that
the odor of tobacco is "disagreeable'' to
her.
1t seems to be more than a coincidence
that some exceptionally good-iooking
young women have been snubbed or, at
any rate. discouraged by the Queen. Re-
Gently the Countess of Shaftesbury, sis
ter of the Duke of Westminster. was
relieved Of the Office OF lady waiting TO
the Queen.

her position because she had shown SYM

Another revelation OF the Queens DOM
inant personality has occurred In connec-
tion with a proposed '1adies' day" at the
Kings favorite club, the Marlborough
| Club, which Is adjacent TO the grounds
Of Marlborough House and was founded
by Kind Edward when he was Prince of
Wales. 1t is the only club which the
King enters. Recently an innovation was
proposed with the idea of putting new
life into the Marlborough Club. II was
planned to hold a ladies' night once a
week, at which members could bring
| their women friends to dinner and have
game Of cards. The plan was submit
ted to King George. and he approved Of
/ the change. Later he mentioned the sub
tect to the Queen and she put her foot
down on the plan.
| Such promiscuous association OF men
and women is demoralizing and tends TO
| unsex the women. 1t is not consistent
with the dignity of the King OF England
| to sit about with a lot of forward girls
and smoke cigarettes
II is a popularity OF the Queens meth
DDS that she makes the King correct him
| self This Is what she calls doing things
In modest and womanly manner" Two
! members Of the governing committee of
the Marlborough Club resigned because
they were not allowed 70 carry out the
popular project.
Still more interesting is Queen Marys
suppression of the Kings platonic
friendship for the Countess of Mar and
kellie, who is young and handsome. 1t
was observed that King George took
pleasure In sitting beside the beautiful
countess and talking to her. Consequent
ly, whenever the King accepted an i'm
vitation to a private entertainment the
hostess was careful to include the
countess.
Queen Mary noticed both In ami
mated conversation, and indicated that
she wished to speak with him. The
countess, however, continued to talk
to the King, which she had a right
to do, for he had invited her society,
and, in theory, no one. not even his
wife, may intrude on the Kings pres
ence when he Is speaking to anybody.
King George keeps n racing stable,
in accordance with the traditions of
the monarchy, but he did not bet, as
his late father did. Last spring il was
discovered that he was betting. Sud-
denly he stopped. Once more Queen
Mary's foot had descended on her hus-
bands amusements.
Last summer the King and Queen
paid visit to the Earl and Countess
