POU CLOSES Mr. Snow Finished His Speech, Hcgun Yesterday Afternoon, When Court Opened and Was Followed by At torney (ieneral Jllckett firoups His ltonuirks Around Three Ques- tions: Who Cut the Price of Oil? Has it Been Cut Ilelow Profit? Why? Argued That Standard Cut to Kill Mr. Pou Followed. The long and holly conlofilod case against the StnniUird Oil . Company was ' completed late this afternoon and Judge Alex Stronaeh has the case under consideration. He will hardly render his judgment for several days, possibly weeks, as he has a mass of testimony and legal opinions to go over, which will take considerable time. '. - " . This case is a new one in this state and is being tried under n new law, and the outcome will be watched with a great deal of interest in this and other states. Through days of tedious examina tion of witnesses, broken here and there by tilts between the attorneys, the case progressed until today, when two of the state's best lawyers closed the - Argument: for iJieir :r spectlve sides. The speeches by At torney-general Bickett for the state and Mr. James H. Pou for the de fense, Were heard with close atten tion. Both arguments will go down us among the greatest ever heard in North Carolina. Each is a great lawyer and speaker of -tremendous magnetism. Their arguments were in language such that few men can . master, and the delivery was as ef l'ective as is ever heard anywhere. When court opened this morning, Mr. W. B. Snow resumed his speech which he begun yesterday afternoon. He took up the figures which Mr. Clark used in comparing the price of oil at different towns and declared that Mr; Clark had put too much time between the dates of these prices, and that if they had been taken nearer to each other they would not show, the great difference in price claimed by Mr. Clark. lleferring to this case, Mr. Snow said It was being tried under a new and untried law, and t;iat the able '.counsel had done well in the conduct of this trial. The state can bring other actions if there is a further de- crease In an attempt to kill the com petition. He argued that the Standard was, because of its greater facilities, able to sell oil at the low price and still make an adequate profit. He further contended that there had been no discrimination in prices of oils: and that the low prices were merely the result of the workings of the general , law of trade. Mr. Snow was followed by Attor ( Continued on Page Seven.) CARNEGIE GIVES TO GERMANY HERO FUND (!y Cable to The Times.) ' Berlin, Dec.

DARING AVIATOR KILLED John B. Moissant Fell Three Hundred Feet. Aviator Pell o llie Ground and Died -.From His Injuries In a Few Min utes Kan Into Foul Hank 'of Air And IjokI. Control of Machine. '(By Leased. Wire to The Times.) New Orleans, La.. Doc. .31 John 11 Molssant, the most famous of America it aviators anil long heralded ns (hi- elm Ins birdnian of the world because -.of his feat in being- the first to cross tho English Channel with a passenger, was fatally injured today when his aero plane Was dashed to the ground from a height of 300 feet at Ilarahan. 10 miles from this city. He died a tew minutes later while being taken to a hospital. At the time of the disaster occurred Molssant was making an attempt to win the Mii'hc!Mtv - trophy, the. record for which was broken at Hue. France yesterday by Aviator Tabut can, the famous French flyer. The acident was caused by the ma chine becoming iinmonngeablo.' It struck a treacherous bank of nil- which Whirled it , out of the aviator's control before he knew what had happened; As the aeroplane, lilted It shot dewiir ward, with Molssant undi rncuib cling ing to il. "He 'struck the i-arlh fn'M and the heavy '.machine crashed duwn upon him. The motors were : apparently wink ing : without a break When: disaster overlook the intrepid flyer. The ma chine seemed ..to turn turtle with'nut giving the operator a second's 'notice. The machine fell toward earth with slckenning suddenness. Those who be held; the accident, looked . on ... hon'or sti ieken. , Molssant could be seen at teiniitlng to right the planes and then clinging for his life to the framework, as he shot downward with the speed of a plummet. Molssant turned his car away from tho aviation grounds and was soon lost sight of as he winged . his way toward Harahan. Along the way many persons who had never seen an aero plant thought that the fleeting aero plane was a new kind of bird. Molssant ran Into a number of wind pockets, , due to gulf winds, ac 'cortlins; to later stories fro-ii those v.:ho -wv him journeying away from New Orleans. At least he seemed to have troubles of some kind and those watching him declared that the treach erous breezes caused the difficulty. Molssant had been in the air just an hour when', the fatal disaster oc curred. The intrepid aviator was speeding like a huge swallow above the ground when the accident occurred. The news of his fall was immediately telephoned to this city and caused a wave of horror to pass over those gath ered upon the aviation, field. Molsant's body was tenderly lifted into an automobile which by that time was transformed into an ambulance. The chaffcur put on all speed and the automobile dashed away towards this city; '; ;'" While the powerful racing .ear bounced over the road at sixty miles an hour speed a temporary resting place In the bottom of the car was constructed for the wounded man and the doctor ministered to- him. However, despite the efforts of the doctor tii re vive the intrepid aviator and despite the furious pace set by tho reckless chauffeur. Molssant died within a short time before this city could be reach ed. " As soon as the doctor pronounced Moisant dead the chauffeur 'slowed down. Those in the car wept when they learned that the daring llyer had passed away. An examination showed that some of Moissant's bones had been pushed through "his skin by the terrific force or the fall and the weight of his Bleri ot 'monoplane. He was so badly man gled that toothing could have saved his life. His head, although protected by the leather helmet, was badly crush ed. ..... DIS. AXI) MnS. G. R MATTIIKWS.
