TO FIGHT OIL TRUST.

SUIT IS BEGUN AGAINST STAND- ' ARD COMPANY. Attorney General 3Ioody Starts Proceedings In St. Loals I'nder the Shrrmnn Art Against Parent and Seventy Constituent Corporation. Attorney General Moody, acting through the resident United States district attorney, legan . proceedings Thursday against the Standard Oil of New Jersey under the Sherman anti-trust act by filing in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis a petition in equity against it and Its seventy constituent corporations and w. ii. moody. partnerships and Soven Individual defendants. The Attorney General a-ks that the combination be declared unlawful and that it be enjoined from entering any contract or combination in restraint of trade. The following statement was prepared and made public by Attorney General Moody: "In June, by direction of the President, Messrs. Kellogg and Morrison were appointed by me special assistant attorneys general to act with Assistant to the Attorney General Purdy to make an Investigation of the relations of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey to the business of refining, transporting, distributing and selling oil throughout the United States; to ascertain all the facts, and to report whether or not in their opinion there has been a violation of the Sherman aritl-trust law by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey or the persons or corporations associated with or managing it. Counsel have completed that duty and the report of their investigation has received careful con sideration by the President and his Cabinet Charges Set Forth by Moody 'The information available to the department tends to show: That the various corporations and limited partnerships under the control, in the manner hereinafter stated, of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey produce, transport and sell about 90 per cent of the refined oil produced, trans ported and sold in the United States for domestic use, and abont the same pro portion of refined oil exported from the United States. That this share of the business has been procured by a course of action which, beginning in 1870, hi.s continued under the direction of the stme persona, in the main, down to the present time. That these person now surviving are John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefel ler, Henry II. Rogers, Henry M. Fhghr, John D. Archbold, Oliver II. Payne and Charles M. Pratt That the design throughout of. the persons having control of the enterprise has been to suppress competition in the production, transportation and sale of refined oil, and to obtain, as far as posibl. a monopoly therein.. That between 1870 and 1SS2 the ce ßign was effected through agreements made between many persons and co.-jvra tions engaged in this business. That in 1SS2 the result aimed at waj made more certain by vesting in nine trustees (including five of the abov-nam-ed persons) sufTcient stock in the thirty nine corporations concerned to enable the trustees to control their opentions in such a way that competition between them was suppressed. That this plan was acted upon until it was declared- unlawful by fhe Supreme Court of Ohio in an action against the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, one of said corporations, in 1S92. That during the seven years following the same individual defendants, as a ma jorlty of the liquidating trustees, were pretending to liquidate the trust, but as a matter of fact were managing all of the corporations in the same way ani exercising the same control over them. That the individual defendants, ?n 109, increased the stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey from $10,OGO,('OO to $110,000,000; that said company was then producing and selling coiporation. and that they added to its corporate pow ers the power of purchasing stock in oth er companies and practically all of the powers exercised by the trustees under llie unlawful trust agreement of 1882. That the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, then taking the place of the trustees, acquired all of the stock of the corporations theretofore held and controlled by the trustees, paying therefor by the issue of its own shares in ex change; that the president of the board of trustees became the president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and that the same persons (the individual defendants) who had directed the busi ness of the trust then assumed the dir?c tion of the business of the Standard 0I Company of New Jersey, and ever sine? have continued it. That the purpose and effect of the use of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey as a holding company was precisi Iy the same as the purpose and effect of the appointment of the trustees hereinbefore referred to namely, to suppress competition between the corporations and limited partnerships whose stock was first held by the trustees and then by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. That by the foregoing methods, aided by the establishment of railroad rates for transportation which discriminated in fa vor of the corporations whose stock was held by the holding company, that com pany has been enabled to obtain, in large sections of the country, a monopoly of the sale of refined oil, with the result that the prices to the consumer within the territory where the monopoly prevails are very much higher than within the territory where competition to some ex tent still exists. "It is believed that these facts, together with others contained in the report of the special counsel,' justify and require action by the United States in the courts." John D. Rockefeller Indicted. John D. Rockefeller, M. G. Vilas, treasurer of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio; J. M. Robertson, secretary, and II. P. Mcintosh, din I tor, were indicted at Findlay by the grand jury, before which the recent oil innuiry was reopened by County Trosecu tor David. Bench warrants for Rocke feller and the others Indicted Issued Immediately and placed In the hands f Sheriff Groves. Ice Traut Deelnlon Stands. The Circuit Court of Toledo, Ohio, upheld the decision of the Common Pleas Court in the sentence of the three principals convicted of conspiracy in restraint of trade in the sale of ice. The sentence was $2,500 each and six months in the workhouse, and if the Supreme Court affirms the lower courts, the icemen must serve their sentence. A temporary injunction was granted by Judge Pollock of the United States District Court restraining the members of the Iron Molders Union of Kansas City, Kan., from Interfering with the employes of the Riverside iron works of that city.

ANNA GOULD DIVORCED. Count Iionl I,ne, and 'Wife and Fortune Are Gone Forever. Final Separation from home and income is the cruel fate meted out by French justice to Count Boni de Castellane, the wife-beating spendthrift who had won the affection and fortune of Jay Gould's daughter and rapidly dissipated both. The decision, granting a divorce without even an "alimentary allowance," handed down in Taris by the Tribune of the First Instance of the Seine, Judge DlUe presiding, gives Count 8 de Castellane the custody of her children, who, however, may not be taken from France without the consent of their father. The end of, the famous case came suddenly. The court brushed aside the demand of the court's lawyers for an examination of witnesses, and, as expected, the public prosecutor did not even ask to be heard. In granting the countess the custody of her children the court allowed the count only the usual rights to see them and share in the control of their education, which was not contested. The count is given the right to see the children at stated periods at the home of their grandmother, and to keep them a month annually (hiring the holidays. Bonl's demand for an "alimentary allowance of $50,000 annually" was pronounced by the court to be without foundation In law and was rejected. The only point decided in the husband's favor was the order that the countess may not take the children from France without their father's consent The count appointed the president of the chamber of notaries to liquidate the affairs of the husband and wife. The judgment was given jvith costs against the count. . ; Anna Gould, youngest daughter of the late Jay Gould, was married to Count Ernest Boniface de Castellane, eldest son of the Marquis de Castellane, at the New York home of her brother, George J. Gould, March 4, 1S05, the late Archbishop Corrlgan officiating. Miss Gould's dowry was understood to have been $18,000,000, and it was stated that her income was $G00,000 a year. Immediately after the marriage the couple left the United States for France, where the extravagant manner In which they lived .attracted attention. About five years after the marriage Count ami Countess de Castellane were reported to be financially embarrassed, it being alleged that the count had spent about $7.000,000 of his wife's money. An adjustment of the affairs of the couple became necessary and considerable litigation followed, with the result that the Gould family intervened and the Income of the countess was reduced to $200,000. Feb. 5 of the present year Countess de Castellane entered a plea for divorce. The three children of the Cnstellanes are, George, Boni and Jay, the youngest being the namesake of his mother's father. S7n fII Ä Japan is for the open school door. That $75,000,000 soap trast sound like a bubble. Ohio has knocked the piers from under the Bridge Trust They will have to stop making currant jelly out of cows' hoofs. Cuba wakes up with a headache, empty pockets and owing money. What we really need is government ownership of Congressmen. Philadelphia indulges in the kind of dramatic criticism the hens lay. Gov. Magoon is going to clean Cuba up if the cyclone don't do it for him. The wild automobile is on? thing that doesn't discriminate in favor of the mill ionaire. Killing a general in Russia is becoming so common that experts can Jo it at the first shot. Added to her other proofs of acquiring American habits, the Cuban Congress re ports a deficit A man with a wife like Senator Bur ton's comes mighty near deserving a fair share of sympathy. Germany ate 1.5(58 dogs and 81,312 horses last year. This is enough to give Chicago a jealous fit. The skeleton of a horse 40 feet high has been found in Wyoming. They'd be wonders in a steeplechase. Washington will now begin to get excited over Miss Ethel's new hair ribbon anil Archie's sore toe. Burglars stole $10,000. from a Standard Oil office in New York. The people are gradually getting even. Over 500 fossil skeletons have been found In the Rocky Mountains. Wait till they begin to unearth Congress! Gorky has gone to Italy to write a book on America, but that is about as near as he got to this country, anyway.

WORK FOR CONGRESS.

Long Schedule of Unfinished Dnitneun In SIkIiI. If Congress attempts to do at the next session what it began to do and left undone at the last session, there will be little time left for the consideration of now measures which the President or the members shall see fit to recommend. The list of matters which went over from the lirst session of the present Congress to be taken up at the second session is formidable.. Here it is: , Immiratiou restriction (in conference). Santo Domingo treaty. Isle of Pines treaty. Morocco treaty (upon which a vote will bo taken Doc. 12). Decision in Senator SmooTs case. Prohibiting corporations to contribute to campaign funds. Ship subsidy. To make "Porto Ricans United States citizen;. Campaign fund publicity. Reduction of tariff on products of Philippines. United States to own it? embassies and legations abroad. . To build government powder factory. Appalachian and Whtie Mountain forest reserves. Copyright revision. Modification of Chinese exclusion law. Prescribing punishment on high seas. Codification of revised statutes. Second Dreadnought for the navy. Removal of customs duty on works of art Swamp reclamation, similar to irrigation statute. Cable to Guantanamo and the canal zone. Anti-injunction bill. Eight-hour law. Nominations of isthmian canal commissioners. ' ' Army and navy dental surgeon corps. Increase of artillery corps. Punishment of improper use of the Stars and StripesRetirement of superannuated federal clerks. Establishment of postal savings banks and parcels post. Limiting working hours of railway employes. In this list the first place is given to the Immigration measure, lor if it be not first in iniiwrtance to the country, it apiearH to be first in the minds of the members, as it was approached at the last session not only with caution but with fear, and it was made manifest from the action of the Ilous prior to amending the bill and sending it to Congress, that some of the members believed that either for good or for evil it would have a direct bearing on their political futures. It Is generally understood that President RooseVelt In his message will recommend more drastic Immigration legislation than is embodied in the measure which the conference committee will have before it for consideration when Congress assembles. The bill as it stands has an educational clause inserted by. the Senate, which provides that all adult immigrants must be able to read and write. The House struck out this provision, and either the House or the Senate must recede from its position or the bill must fall of passage. This immigration matter looms large. Many sections of the North are anxious to get rid of the uudesirab'e foreigners. They can't get rid of them, but if aid comes from elsewhere they can prevent their continuous arrival. The South desires white immigration, but of only one kind that from the British Isles and from northern Europe. The South can protect itself more easily if the educational test is made a part of the immigration bill. fievr Qnarti Prorein. Dr. Arthur L. Day of the Carnegie geophysical laboratory at Washington, according to an article in the Technical World Magazine, has discovered a new process of making quartz glass while working with his electric furnace. Heretofore quartz glass, which is simply quartz melted and allowed to cool without recrystallizing, has been obtainable in such small quantities that it was worth Jts weight in gold, the globules being used to make small vessels and lenses. Now, by the employment of high temperatures and pressures,' 1). Day has turned "out solid plates of quartz glass 1 inch tuick and 0x2 inches. The pressure used is 500 pounds to the square inch and an alternating current producing l.cat of 2,000 degrees. In a quartz, glass vessel gold, copper or silver may be melted or distilled, and it will not break even when cold water touches it at white heat. Mid vale Get Foreign Contract. The Italian government Iris given an order for 2,100 tons of armor plate, valued at $1,000,000, for an Italian war ship, to the Midvale Steel Company of Philadelphia. The American company competed with five' European firms, including the Krupps. Nevertheless, the Midvale bid was $131 higher than the .price offered to this government for armor. Lea a Learning, More Honeaty Gov. Jelks of Alabama in his speech at the Montgomery state fair said that further progress in Alabama is not possible unless there is better understanding between the races.

In an aggregate of bank exchanges this week, which makes a new high Cliicajjo. record, and official statements showing gains over a year ago in deios!ts, loans and cash resources there Is testimony to the expansion which is characteristic of commerce at this time. Orations Indicate that trade generally Is strongly sustained In its unprecedented volume, and In some respects movements of commodities made a further advance. Colder weather stimulated an .exceptional demand for seasonable needs In the leading retail lines, and jobbing branches remain fairly active in staples, with the buying of holiday goods comparing favorably with the best previous totals. Most of the heavy deliveries in textiles, footwear, furniture and hardware are over, but there is much buying of food products. Except an advance in . cost of steel plates the wave of rising prices for raw materials and finished products has made no further progress .fn the iron, woodworking and leather activities. The manufacturing returns disclose no abatement in pn-ductlon. Building operations now are pressed forward against the approach of winter, but new plans exceed those of a year ago "and indicate that necessary materials will be as much- needed as before. Railroad and lake movements suffered but slight Interruption irom the storms, and freight offerings now show more bulk In heavy materials and cereals. Failures reiwrted In Chicago district numbered 27, against 19 last week and 27 a year ago. Du l's Review of Trade. Further and serious NßV York. Icon gefe tion of railway ' ' . A. . smpmenis, more aavances la wages, satisfactory reorders, a large volume of spring trade, feTeater activity in retail lines In consonance with colder weather, a marked development of demand for holiday ' novelties, and persistent requests for domestic and foreign iron and steed, are among the significant features of an exceptionally busy week. Complaints of ioor deliveries are widespread,' and while the railways are making every effort to rem edy the situation, little progress is being made in that direction. Because of these delays collections are not so good as they might be, though most of the improvement reported last week is maintained. Shipments of grain prob ably suffer most from the congestion, but deliveries of fuel to manufacturing plants and shipments from iron and steel mills are also hampered. Industrial plants are being pushed to the utmost, foreign iron is coming in In volume, labor is scarce, and wages, especially those of railway employes, have undergone further favorable changes.
