p p NASSAU COUNTY R E y iB W . ' ' x * ^65 ’ ' ’ HURT PER EJIKS STUMDMD OIL TBUSI Circuit (Banch Unanimously De clares It an Illegal Combination. JUDGE HOOK’S STRONG OPINION M a m ltaneoiu Decision Delivered n t St. Louis and St. Paul a Sweeping Victory F o r the Governm ent— Proeecution Won Every Point. THE LAW AND THE TRUST. TH E W H IR L IG IG O F P O L IT IC S . Corporations are persons, and the com b ination of two or more j K o f them in restraint of trade is i as unlaw ful as the combination of individuals. . j The purpose ot the law was to keep the rotes of transportation and the prices of articles In inter state a n d international commerce open to free competition. W h a t a governm ent should not grant, because injurious to pub lic w elfare, the individual should not be allowed to secure and hold by w rongful means. The baneful effect is the same w h e ther th e monopoly comee as a gift from a governm ent or is the result of individual wrong doing. Nor can argum ents of r e duced prices of product, economy in operation and the like have • weight. 1 St. Paul, Minn.— The United States Circuit C o u rt for the Easctern Dis trict of Missouri declared the Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey an illegal com b ination operating In re strain t of trade, and ordered Its dis solution. The opinion was w ritten by Judge W a lter H. Sanborn, of Paul, and concurred In by Judges iWfUUi V andevanter, William C. Hook and E lm e r B. Adams, with a special concurring opinion by Judge Hook. The opinion of the Court was tiled sim u ltaneously In St. Louis, Mo., and 8t. Paul, Minn. In this decision thq Government of th e United States wins a sweeping victory, and, according to Frank B. Kellogg, of this city, who was the G overnm ent's special prosecuting •ffleer, it has won every point for which it contended. The case will be appealed direct to the United States Supreme Court, ai the Judges who signed the decree are in effect the Judges of the United States C ircuit Court of Appeals, al though they were sitting for the pur pose of trying this case as the Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Mis- Muri. The decree of the Court dissolving th e Standard OH Company become* effective In thirty days, when, no doubt, a stay will be granted for the purpose of an appeal. When the decree takes effect, un less a stay Is granted, an Injunction will Issue restraining the Standard Oil Company from a further contlnu. ance of its business under its presenl form ation. i It appears from the concurring opinion w ritten by Judge Hook that the company cannot do business un der any other rorm with the object of stifling com petition, for he says on this s u b ject it is thought th a t with ,the end of the combination the monopoly will naturally disappear, but should it not do so and the tnem- bers of the combination retire from it, except one who m ight perpetuate the monopoly by the aggregation of the physical properties and Instru m entalities, It would constitute a vio lation of the decree of theiCourt. ! In the trial of the case the point was made th a t the Standard'O il Com- peny was a beneficent corporation in i th a t it, by reason of economy in operation, reduced the price of it* product. This Judge Hook says can ji'ave no weight. -The suit was begun by direction oi th e Attorney-General of the United States in St. Louis, on November 16, 1806. F rank 3. Kellogg, of St.. Paul, F a s appointed special prosecutor, as sisted by C h a rles B. Morrison, of Chi sago; F ran k H. Poole and J. H. Graves, of the D epartm ent of Justice; W. H. H iggins, ot Minneapolis, and vC o r d e n lo A. Severance, of St. Paul. Tfee Standard Oil Company pre sented a form idable array of counsel, led by John G. Mllburn, of New York City. The defense was th a t the pres- 'en t organisation of the corporation was the resu lt of the natural growth • f a great industry, and that no law had been violated. 1 The com p laint was directed against the parent organization, known as the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, ^ With its various subsidiary corpora tions.

TAFT Head of Great Northern Railway, in White House Call, Says High Cost of Living is Real Menace, and Urges National House Cleaning. clothing to th e masses) A grave dan ger faces the Nation. History shows H i W ashinsion, i). C. — President T a ft’s program for railroad and tru s t reform legislation at the next session of.. Congress was the lodestone that dretr another Railroad m an to the W h ite House. He was none other th a n Mr. Jam es J. Hill, of St. Paul, Minn., president of the G reat N o rth ern Railway. He rem ained with the President long enough to say a good m any things, and when he came out dem o n strated th a t he was the only and original “artful dodger” In cap tivity. W hen he was asked by the newspaper men what he thought of th e President's legislative Ideas and w h a t suggestions he had m ade to Im prove upon them he seemed Inspired .to deliver a lecture, which began In th is wise: “I am a student of history. History shows th a t the high cost of living is th e beginning of every national de cline. This country Is In grave dan ger of entering upon a period of decadence through extravagance, pub lic and private. Prosperity Is not a cure; It Is only a help.” How much longer Mr. Hill would have continued to delight his hearers w ith this dissertation, had not some one broken In, will never be known. He was interrupted with a question as to w h at all that had to do with railroad and anti-trust legislation. He smiled. “W h at this country needs Is to clean house and spend less money and stop bothering about new laws to govern corporations,” said Mr. Hill. ; “ Deep and serious consideration should be given at.once to the ques- i tlon of reducing the cost of food and that the decline begins when the cost of living becomes a burden to the masses, but not to the rich.\ Just as Mr. Hill was about to es cape from his questioners he bumped squarely Into a kindred spirit in the person of Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon. Mr. Bourne, as it hap pens, is c h airm an of the working sub committee of the Senate’s new Com m ittee on Public Expenditures, of which Senator Hale, of Maine, is the head. The business of this commit tee is to tighten the strings of Uncle Sam ’s purse, and it purposes to do It. It was fully th irty minutes before these two econom ists finished their little chat In th e W h ite House recep tion room. W h en it was over Sena tor Bourne rem a rked th a t It would never do .to give away iu advance w h at his sub-com m ittee was going to report, but he was perfectly certain the purchasing power of a Govern m ent dollar could be Increased from five to ten per cent, by the simplifica tion of adm inistrative methods, cen tralization and1'the elim ination of un necessary Items. Mr. Hill is likely to come back to W ashington again. President Taft told him ju s t w h a t he has been telling other railroad men and members of both branches of Congress who have had suggestions to m ake to Improve his annual message. In substance it was: “W hat you say is interesting: It may be Im p o rtant. Kindly put It in writing and subm it It to me again. Then I will give It due consideration.” “Una., steam ships and by rail, also I d the : m a n u facture and refining ol petroleum.

Louis , XIV. acquired the jewel mysteriously, and, although history gives saner causes, the French mon arch’s decay set in about th a t time. The gem was still In the crown of France when Louis XVI. died by the guillotine amid the storm of the great revolution. i Then the jewel vanished for a tidae, and It was not until 1830 that a Lon don dealer, purchasing It from a stranger, sold it to the famous bank er, Henry Thomas Hope. As the “Hope Diam ond,” the blue stone leaped into fame. Hope's daughter brought it to her husband, the Duke of Newcastle, as part of her dowry. H e r son, Lord Henry Francis Hope, inherited It, and m isfortune be set him early. He m arried May Yohe, and soon she w as wearing the dia mond on the stage. In 1899, Lord Hope was in financial difficulties and tried to sell the gem, but his family prevented this. After his divorce from May Yohe he sold it, however, to Simon Frankel, the New York jeweler. It rem ained in the United States until January, 1908, when rum o rs of the financial difficul ties of Frankel B rothers were fol lowed by the sale of the jewel, i m mediately after parting company with the m ysterious gem the firm paid off all creditors and returned to Its for m er prosperity. It Is supposed that, through a se cret agency, th e diamond came Into the possession of Abdul Hamid, then the absolute of Turkey. His throne fell before he had possessed the Hope diamond even for a year. P a ils.— T h e nysterlous and won derful Hope Diamond, the jewel that came out of the East In th e reign of Louis XIV., and which has seemed for m any long years a baleful Nemesis, pursuing to misfortune or the grave the monarchs, peers and laym en who have possessed It, and bringing sud den sorrows to the fam ous women whose beauty It has adorned, has gone back Into the East, and as popu lar superstition will undoubtedly de clare, Is said to have been the cause of Its last ow n ef’s tragic end. A curt four-line dispatch from Sin gapore announces th a t Selim Habid was among the passengers drowned In the wreck of the French steam er Seyne In the China Sea. “ I t Is believed,” the m essage says, “ th a t Habid had the Hope diam ond in his possession at the tim e of the w reck.” If this is so, the mystic gem, at once the bane and envy of kings and potentates, has ended its dark story at the bottom of the Malacca Strait. It had been supposed th a t the Hope diam ond was sold by Habid in Paris last June for 880,000. B u t no pur chaser was ever named w ith author ity. Habid had brought the jewel to P a ris with many others of lesser fam e, and It was rumored th a t he was an agent of Abdul Hamid, deposed Sultan of Turkey, who was said to be m a k ing vigorous attem p ts to dispose Now it is believed that Habid did not sell it, but was taking It back to the Orient in an attem p t to sell it to some Indian potentate.

C.— T he death rate for 1908 in the registration area set aside by the Census Bureau for tabu lation purposes was 16.3 per 1000 population, the lowest yet recorded. In rural districts covered by th e tabu lation the rate was slightly lower, av eraging 14 to the 1000 Inhabitants. D u ring the same period the death rate for England and W ales was 16.7 per 1000. * T h e total num b er of deaths re tu r n e d for the year 1908 in th e reg istration area was 691,574, while for the preceding year it was 687,034. This apparent increase of 4540 is ex plained by the fact th a t during 1908 two new States, W ashington' and W is consin, were added to the registration. The m onth of maximum m ortality in 1908 was Jan u a ry , w ith 67,763 deaths, and t h a t of minimum m o rtal ity was June, w ith 49,701 deaths.
