The Attorney-G General Is Not

DISTRIBUTION
OF THE STOCK
No End Of Monopoly, Is His
Comment on End Of the
Special Inquiry

| Washington, June 6--Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds said yesterday that he
regards the Standard Oil dissolution de-
cree inadequate to meet the intent of
the Sherman law. This was the first
definite Indication of the attorney gem
erals attitude towards an investigation
row being conducted to determine
whether an coil trust still exists. His
objections to the decree, like those he
has expressed against the tobacco trust
decree. are based on the ground that a
real dissolution of trust cannot be ac-
compishcd by distribution OF the
stock pro rata among the same share
holders. From Charles b. Morrison and
Oliver +. Pagan, his special assistants,
the attorney general has heard the re-
suits of their investigation OF the oil
situation and s now celebrating
whether the department of justice will
be justified in taking further action
under the Sherman law. Should he
reach the conclusion that a trust still
exists, il is pointed out that three plans
OF action are open to the attorney gen
efal: civil suit for the dissolution of
any new combination; indictment OF
individuals or contempt OF court pro-
ccedings. II action is taken, it is be-
lieyed it will be more likely of crimi-
nal nature.

LATEST SERUM
SEEMS SUCCESS
Tests of DR.. Mehnarto's Contratoxin Is
Said To Fulfil the Highest
Hopes

New York, June 1.-THE New Yori
Suns London correspondent sends tn,
following:
"The Sun is now able to give some
further information regarding the tests
Iof DIR. Mehnarto's contratoxin, which Is
fulfilling the highest hopes entertained
by the experimenters.
During the past week ten more pa
tients were discharged from Margaret
street hospital with the record of treat
ment marked arrested They were pa
tients in advanced stages of t,iberculo-
sis and all have lost even the physical
signs OF the disease to such an extent
that no doctor could now find in them
lany trace OF any sort of disease. They
will be examined monthly for the next
twelve months at the hospital so as to
discover whether the treatment confers
immunity for that period. From every
other institution where the treatment is
proceeding comes the same story.
One discovery the doctors made some
time ago although of course of no great
Importance compared with the other
properties Of this wonderful serum. is
that the eontratoxin effectually cures
in three injections the widespread un.
slightly complaint acne, vulgarly termed
blackheads"
"A wonderful surprise for everyone
except DR.. Mchnarto, whom nothing
seems to surprise, is the manner in which
the opsonic tests conducted by DIR. Rsjeh-
mann, Prof. Hewlett's assistant, worked
out.
"Al these patients have had three
doses of the contra toxin on the dates
the blood being taken before
the injection. The first six never had
but it is believed the last
four have. In every case where an ade-
luate opportunity was found for max
ing full sets of tests remarkable i'm
in a wonderfully short time
has been found except in the case of
Sheer. The medical men concerned are
now more than ever convinced of the
importance of the discovery. !

physicians to the law requiring notifi-
cation. Isolation is required by law in
seven states and modified" isolation in
two others. 1t is recommended in
another, but the secretary of the board
of health states that it is rarely en-
forced. Few state or city health boards
make any effort to prevent it, while
there is almost no provision for the hos
pital treatment OF whooping- cough in
this country. For the sake of the ten
thousand children annually sacrificed to
this disease DIR. Morse pleads that the
seriousness OF this disease be recognized
and that its rayages be restricted.
Whooping- cough should be made every
where reportable disease as in the
case of smallpox scarlet fever and
diphtheria. The house should be pla-
carded and the inmates instructed by
Tie health authorities as to the serious
hess of the disease in infancy and the
methods to be employed to prevent con-
tegion.
The patients should be separated from
The other children in the family, if they
are under years Of age, or the pa
tients should be removed to special hos
pitals. constructed on the shack" plan
in order to give the children the maxi
mum amount of fresh air.
Children with catarrhal symptoms,
in whom there IS any reason to suspect
the possibility Of whooping cough,
should be excluded from school The
community should be required to es-
tablish hospitals not only to take care
OF those children that cannot be or are
not properly isolated at home, but also
to take care of those babies and chill
dren i'll with the disease that cannot be
treated in their homes.
1t can be confidently predicted that
when the physicians and the public I'M
derstand what whooping- cough really
means, when proper regulations for its
control are established and enforced and
when sufficient hospital accommodations
for its care are provided, whooping-
cough will cease to be the scourge which
it now is.

day.
Smith had been bookkeeper for many
years. The bulk of the shortage is in

Smith received hcecks for the sale Of

distractions were covered through the
divided responsibility in examining the
prison accounts.
