Tbe first will take place next Sunday at Riverside Athletic park. The opposing team will be from Remington. Manager Plunkett says that he will play all home men, giving all the youngsters who are willing to learn the game, a chance in the practice. Reports of the Monticello game are glowing in respect to the manner in which the local youngsters gamboled about the diamond. Jensen at second played a'fine game and he was ably assisted by Parks at short and Clark at third. Ail that is needed is for these men to be given a fair chance and as much practice as possible and they will play rings around a number of the imported players who never have the interest of the town at heart. There Is a demand for an all home team and it is in sight, Virgil Robinson, Charley Porter, Tom Padgßt a number of other former K. O. K. A. players are developing into able hall players. Elder is a dependable fielder and -bats well. Mount is a new comer and will alternate catching with Wilcox, who is an able with the best whip to secontTthat ever tossed a pig skin down to second. Swartzell is right there with the big mit at first and can pitch a few innings with the best of them. It looks like a good start.

Williams and wife will start tomorrow morning for Springfield, 111., and after a day’s visit there with Mrs. Williams’ brother, will go to Carthage, 111., and visit other relatives of Mrs. Williams.

HARD BLOW DEALT TO STANDARD OIL COMPANY.

Held to Be Monopoly In Restraint of Trade and Dissolution Ordered by v Supreme Court.

The supreme court holds: That the Standard Oil company Is a monopoly In trade. - That this giant corporation must be dissolved within six months. Corporations, whose, contracts are “not unreasonably restrictivSTof competition’’ are not affected. Great corporations whose acts may be called into question will be dealt with according to the merits of their particular cases. The court was unanimous as to the main features of the decision, Justice Harlan dissenting, only as to>a limitation of the application of the Sherman anti-trust law. v President Taft and cabinet will consider immediately the entire trust situation and the advisability of pressing for a federal incorporation act. .A decision in the Tobacco trust case, which was expected simultaneously was not announced today and may be handed down on May 29.

Washington, May 15. —The Standard Oil company of New Jersey and its nineteen subsidiary corporations were declared today by the supreme court of tbe United States to be a conspiracy and combination in restraint of trade. It also was held to be monopolizing interstate commerce in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The dissolution of tbe combination was ordered to take place within six months. Thus ended the tremendous struggle on the part of the government to put down by authority of law a combination which it claimed was a menace to the industrial and economic advancement of the entire country. At tbe same time the court interpreted the Sherman anti-trust law so as to limit its application to acts of “undue” restraint of trade and “not every” restraint of trade. It was in this point that the only discordant note was heard in the court Justice Harlan dissented, claiming that cases already decided by the court had determined once for all that the word “undue” or “unreasonable”, or similar words, were not in the statuter He declared that the reasoning of tbe court in arriving at its finding was in effect legislation which belonged ’n every instance to congress and not to tbe courts. Ever since the decree in this case in the lower court, the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri, was announced‘hope has been expressed by tbe “business world” that the law would be modified so as not to interfere what was designated as honest business. Tonight that section of tbe opinion calling for the use of the rule of reason in applying tbe law Is regarded in many quarters as an answer to the prayers of the “business world.” The opinion of the court was announced by Chief Justice White. In printed form it contained more than 20,000 words. For nearly an hour the chief justioe discussed tbe case from the bench, going over most of the points in the printed opinion, but not once referring to it in order to refresh his memory. Before him sat a distinguished audience of the most famous men of the country. Senators and representatives left their respective chambers in the capltol to listen to tbe epoch-making decision of the court. Most eager to hear were At* torney General Wickersbam and Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel of the government who bad conducted the great fight against the Standard Oil company. None of tbe brilliant array of counsel for the corporations or Individual defendants were present in tbe court during the reading of tbe opinion. The effect on general business Is hard to determine and what the Standard Oil Co. will do to carry out the order of the court* is also uncertain. There seems to be an impression that tbe first effect will be detrimental to general business interests. It Is possible, however, that the Standard Oil Co. can equitably divide Its business among the stockholders of original concerns and cause no stagnation to general business.: It may mean a material Increase In the selling price of Standard products and yet there may be no material change in this respect

BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY; OTHER EVENTS FOLLOW.

Busy Week for Graduates Includes Commencement, Class Ray, Senior And Junior Receptions. The Rensselaer .schools close next week and the Senior class will be the center attraction and they will be busy from the first to the last of tbe week, mixing social functions with the commencement and class day exercises. The first of the events takes place Sunday evening at 7:45 o’clock, at th« Christian church. Dr. L. E. Murray, who is the state secretary of the Christian church, will deliver the baccalaureate sermdn. Special music will be prepared for tbe occasion. The public will be admitted to this service. On Tuesday evening at the opera house occurs the Class Day exercises, and the graduates will present “Esmeralda,” which will doubtless prove very pleasing to ■ the audience. The class day exercises are generally the most interesting of the commencement week events, as it is then that the graduates are seen in their individual capacities. The play which they have selected for this year is thought to afford opportunity for the development of talent and it is also said that the talent is equal to the emergency. On Wednesday evening occurs the Junior reception to the Senior class at the armory. This is an invitation event, largely confined to the two classes, 1

Thursday evening occurs the commencement. jit will consist of an address by S. A Long, of Dayton, Ohio, and will be held at tbe Christian church,, Friday evening occurs the alumni banquet, and tbe Seniors will be the guests of former graduates at the most pretentious social event of the commencement week. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will furnish the spread and serve it at the armory. A toast program of interest to all who are fortunate enough to attend will be one of the attractions. Dancing will probably close the alumni reception and also the Junior reception on Wednesday evening, « It will be a tired but happy set of Seniors who will Conclude the week with the banquet and while, not so large as some previous classes it >s one of the best equipped classes ever graduated from the Rensselaer school and it is expected that in the affairs of life on which they will now enter they will make an imprint for the accomplishment of much that is good. The names of the graduates are: Grace Albin Delevan Babcock Don Beam Charles Britt Elton Clarke Bertha Daniels Rosabel Daugherty / James Ellis Bernice Hammond Ruth Harper
