M'REYNOLDS AFTER
STANDARD OIL TRUST

Washington, June 17.-Attorney Gea-
eral McReynolds is seeking further in,
formation before deciding whether the
decree dissolving the Standard Oil
trust" has been violated and whether
the federal government should pro-
ceed against those responsible
Under instructions of the Attorney
General, Charles B. Morrison. the gov
ernments counsel in the case. is in
Chicago attempting TO develop more
facts. This may take several weeks.
The governments investigators
found that the disintegrated parts of
the great trust have quit all the unfair
competitive methods originally charged.
The governments inquiry now relates
to the question whether the former
subsidiaries of the trust are, by agree
ment or understanding, refraining from
competing with one another or are fix
ing the price of oil.
The department of justice, it is said.
has practically no complaints from in
dependent oil interests With the prices
of oil soaring and unfair competitive
methods eliminated, it is said they
seem to be satisfied. The government
is giving particular attention to the
reasons for the rising prices of oil.

comes from its first method of pro-
duction.
In 1850 Gabriel Venel, a French ply
sician, mixed two drains of soda and
marble (muriatic) acid in pint of
water contained in ain ordinary glass
bottle. Twenty years later-in ITO
Bergman, a Swedish chemist generated
carbonic acid gas from chalk by the
use of sulphuric acid and invented a
generating apparatus which made its
production on a comparatively large
scale possible.
But all this was merely preliminary.
In 1867. just few years prior to the
American revolution and five years

are due, it remained for an American
to invent and perfect distinctive
