Notable Cases.

New York.-George w. Wicker
sham. former attorney general of the
United States, in an address before
the Nassau County Bar association
Saturday night, said that the division
of the Standard Oil and tobacco com.
panies under the Sherman law had
been effective, despite the belief OF
many to the contrary.
Mr.. Wickersham said that undue
confidence in the immediate results
of antitrust legislation had blinded
the public to what had really been
accomplished against monopolistic
corporations.
when the Standard Oil and tobac
co companies were divided" he said
the fact that the same persons were
stockholders in all of the distributed
corporations was used to support the
contention that the dissolution was
not real.
But these companies were separ
ated and forbidden by the court tC
combine anew, and in the case of the
tobacco companies forbidden to havi
common officers, common directors
or common agents.
Il said at the time of the dissolu
ton that those facts inevitabl,
would lead to a further severance o
interest"

except In the United States the tolls
exemption was regarded az a violation
Of the Hay-pnunceforte treaty, and he
further asked IL In support OF the ad-
ministratIon's general foreign policy.
That the presidents request viii be

This would put II up directly to the
