flNAL ATTACK TO
CRUSH OIL TRUST
Titanic Battle of Government vs.
Corporation Opened.
orous attack on the great trust made
public on the authority of Attorney
General Moody and tho Department
of Justice. It goes beyond the scope
of any previous attack on the reat
combination which was built up and
so long headed and directed by t!ie
master financier, John D. Rockefel
ler. ' ' . '
One assertion that is almost over
powering in its significance to the
people in the United States is that
with a total valuation of its property

THE PRESIDENT'S ORDER
aaa
Negro Soldiers , Discharged - at
Fori Reno, Oklahoma.
The
Officers Cannot Believe That
They Themselves Will Be v
Court-Martialled.
St. Loui, Mo. The most serious
action ever taken against the Stand
ard Oil Company, and one that in
volves the continued existene'e of the
mcst powerful monopoly the world
has ever known, was instituted here
vhen the United States Government
applied for an injunction, which, if
granted, will result in a dissolution
of the combination. . .'. , . -
The suit will determine once for
all whether or not the Standard can
retain a complete monopoly of the oil
business ' i the United States.
ThP petition instituting the suit
was filed in tne United States Circuit
Court by Frank B. Cellogg. of ' S
Paul, Minn., special counsel for the
Government.
The Government's petition in the
suit is signed by William H. Moody.
- United States Attorney Purdy. Frank
Kellcgg. W. B. Morrison and 1. x.
Severance, assistants to the Attorney
General. The petition contains 194
pages, or about 100,000 words, and
an additional eighty-four pages cf ex
hibit, consisting of bv-laws and' min
u?s of Standard Oil meetings and
organizations and a mass showing
the Retail nriees of oil in every State
and Territory of the Union. 1
' This great rattle of the Govern
ment afrai st the ohief of the trusts
was opened with the filing of a neti
tion in ecuitv.;asking that the oil oc
topus be declared an Illegal combina
tron in restrain of trade, and that it
and its seventv constituent companies
partnerships and the seven indi
viduals who exercise , control ovjr
them b forever enioinad from
further violation of the Sherman An-ti-Trnst
law, and, further, that the
constituent comranie be restrained
Iron rayiup; furthe- diVMi-uas iu mo
parent company. The- latter prayer
of the Go'-TQrnment, if granted by the
Co'.rrs. will tie up the funds of the
constituent companies and bring to
a crisis the affairs of the great oil
mnnonnlv.
But a rr.or sious '.breat than this j
is contained in the closing paragraph
of a statement given out by Attorney
General Moody relative to the suit.
This threat is that later the Federal
f.nvprn-nent mav see fit to begin
n-hnina! prosecutions against the
hpads n.r the Oil Trust, the seven in
dividuals named in the bill of equity
as defendants in common with the
Standard Oil Comnany, of New Jer
sey, and its seventy constituents and
partnerships. T'lese seven individ
uals are John D. Rockefeller, William
iRockefpller, Henrv H. Rogers, Henry
M. Flagler, John D. Archbold. Oliver
H. Payne and Charles H. Pratt. It Is
a threat of prison bars.
The suit will nrobablv be In litiga
tion for a long.time. The defendants
have one month to enter appearance,
and will probably make their first
mnvp by demurring to the bill in
equity. This will involve long and
tedious legal by-piav. If the Court
fails to sustain the demurrer the de
fendants will then be obliged to ap
pear in Court. In connection with
the filing of the bill in equity the
Gnv-evr.raent's special assistant Attorney-General,
Frank P. Kellogg, made
application before Judges Sanborn
and Adams for an order to bring non
resident defendants into the jurisdic
tion of the Court.
If the Court fans to sustain the
expected demurrer of the Standard
Oil's attOrnevs, the next thing in or
der will be the taking of testimony.
It is considered probable that a spe
cial commissioner will be appointed
to take the evidence in the case ana
that he will certify the record t6 the
United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, as was done in the Northern
Securities case. '
Following this will be the argu
ment before the Circuit Court of Ap
peals, and then, if the Government
wins. the probable appeal of the Oil
Trust to the Supreme Court of the
i-nitp.d States. ; - . , . '
The statement given out by Attorney-General
Moody is remarkable in
that in referring to the means by
'hich evidence against Standard Oil
has been procured for the present
Prosecution, no reference is made to
any other agency than that of the
special counsel of the Department of
, ' Justice. The investigation made by
the Bureau of Corporations is in no
v-'ay- alluded to, so that the danger
f Riving the Standard "Oil people
"immunity baths" may be so far as
Possible avoided. This precaution is
helievcd to have been taken with a
view not onlv to the success of the
civil suit instituted at St. Louis, but
to any criminal proceedings thatmay
"2 brought later against the seven
mdividuals named in the equity suit
and others who may be shown to
have been involved in the illegal tac
tics cf the holding company and its
frmstituent companies and partner
ships. '
$512,000,000 in dividends, and be
sides created a large surplus. No
statements have been made since
1896, it is averred.
A synopsis of the allegations
against the Standard Oil Company is
as follows:
That the Standard Oil Company of
New- Jersey controls about seventy
corporations.
That the company received rebates
from railroads amounting to fifty-one
and one-half cets per barrel on
crude oil and sixty-fbur and one-half
cents per barrel on refined oil.
That rebates wero paid to the
Standard on products of the inde
pendents. That the company controls more
than ninety per cent, of the business
in the United States.
That from 1S99 to the present, the
Individual defendants have controlled
the oil business through holding and
controlling interest in the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey.
That the Standard Oil Company
owns, and controls practically all the
pipe lines in the country
That a contract "with the Tidewater
Oil Company gives the Standard Oil
Company control of eighty-eight and
one-half per cent, of its business
That the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company consults with the National
Transport Company on the making
exf transportation rates.
That the Standard Oil Company
monopolizes the pipe. line carrying
business throughout the United
States, excent in Texas, Louisiana
and California
Paris. Sustained in every allega
tion, the Countess de Castellane, for
merly Anna Gould of New York,
obtained a divorce without the
final resort to a public trial. Count
Boni did not receive the slightest
consolation from the court. The
oniyJ ruling that favored him was
that the Countes could not take their
three children out of France with
out his consent, but even this order
lost its value through the rider that
should the Count prove "unreason
able" the mother may obtain permis
sion from the court. The children
are given into the care of the Count
ess, and Boni will only be permitted
to see them under the roof of his
mother.
The decision was received with
great joy by the Countess, who under
the French law now will be known
as Mme. Gould. Her three sons,
however, will retain their rank, the
eldest being in line for the title of
his father.
The developments in court showed
that the Countess at all times has
been moved with a spirit of gener
osity toward her discredited spouse.
It was brought out that she had not
withdrawn her offer, of $30,000 a
year. The court ruled that the Count
by his infidelity had forfeited his
right to a penny of his wife's money;
and it is in the power of the New
York girl to leave him penniless,
Count Boni de Castellane may now
be said to have no home. He;is stay
ing for the present with his father
J listing
T United
That the company has refused and and mother in Rue Constantine. , He
failed; to perform its duties as com
mon carriers.
That -the Standard Oil pipe lins
have refused to furnish equal facili
ties for independents.
That they have forced independent
refiners to secure their crude oil from
the Standard.
That the pine line companies raised
prices to crush competitors.
That in 1903 and 1906 many secret
rates given .by the railroads to the
tlnued because they were to be made
PuMic . ... ... .
That secret rates were given d lu
New York Central Railroad.
That the railroads of New England
made rates which gave the Standard
a substantial monopoly of that terri
tory. .
That the Standard Oil company
controls rates of various railroads
through ownership of stock. , '
That individuals on boards of di
rectors of railroads cause making of
discriminating rates.
fV.Q Srnndnrd Oil Company
controls the sale of lubricating oils
to railroads.
That some railroads pay double the
market price for lubricating oils.
That the Standard kills off com
petition by cutting the price.
That railroad employes furnish the
Standard full reports on the ship
ments of competitors.
That the Standard acted through
bogus independent companies.
That the Standard has made enor
mous and unreasonable profits.
That the territory of the United
States has been divided into sections
to be handled by the various companies.
Standard Oil Troubles.
New York City. It was. in many
ways a day of Oil Trust troubles. Be
sides the great' Federal suit at St.
Louis, there was almost sensational
activity on the part ot tne unio au-
4tinrlH6S who aTe trying to bring
tUUl lUVWj " - ,
John D. Rockefeller and his B??m
still owns some estates consisting of
three chateaux at Rochecote, Grig-
nan and Acosta, forest lands at
Beugnies and a farm at Boutassaint,
but most of these estates, it is said,
are heavily encumbered with mort
gages.
He has 4,000,000 francs worth of
debts. How to get rid of this loan
will probably puzzle him unless he
decides to become as successful as a
gentleman farmer ashe was:., as.-
Fort Reno, Oklahoma. The order
for the discharge of the 167 negroes
comprising Cos. B, C and D, of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry who were sta
tioned at Fort Brown at the time of
the trouble there, was received here.
It reads: ...
"By order'of the President the fol
lowing named enlisted men, who, on
August 13, were members of B, C
and - D Companies of the Twenty
fifth Infantry, which took part in
the trouble which occurred in
Brownsville, Texas, on the night of
August 13, 1906, will be discharged
without honor from the armv by
their respective commanding officers
ana xorever debarred irom re-en-
in the army or navy of the
States, as well as from, em
ployment in any civil capacity under
the Government."
The names include those of sev
eral men whose terms of enlistment
has expired since the Brownsville
affair and have already been given
honorable discharges from the ser
vice. Eight of these have re-enlistfd
in other companies and regiments.
All of the .officers at this post, in
chiding those of the Thirtieth In
fantry as well as of the Twenty-fifth,
believe that everything possible has
been done to detect the men who er
gaged in the Brownsville rioting.
and they will not believe that there
wil be", any court-martial of the offi
cers in command at Fort Brown.
"We have tried to shield no mbn,
but have used every effort to find vhe
guilty ones," said an officer of the
dishonored battalion. "As the time
for the discharge of the troops has
neared, they have redoubled their
efforts tON find out the guilty men.
They have kept the men under the
closest espionage. They have noted
vhat men seemed to chum together,
their actions and anything else that
might, lead to the defection of the
guilty men."

BOOSEVELT ARRIVES AT'JCOLQX.
Warships Make Panama Port Abend
of Schedule Time.
Colon Panama.-i The first trip of
an American President outside of the
boundaries of tho United States was
successfully ended when the battle
ship Louisiana, having on board Pres
ident Roosevelt and his party,
dropped anchor in the harbor of
Colon. The Louisiana, which arrived
ahead of schedule time, was convoyed
by the Tennessee and the Washing
ton. The three vessels anchored
about a mile from the landing in a
heavy rainfall.
Owing to the fact that the Louis
iana arrived ahead of time, neither
President Amador of Panama nor
Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian
Canal Commission was on hand to
welcome President Roosevelt.
In tho afternoon President Roose
velt received the local newspaper cor
respondents on board the Louisiana.
He said that his voyage naci oeen
pleasant and - uneventful, and ex
pressed himself as gratinea at tne
welcome. He said he proposed to
look into the Jamaican labor ques
tion, and also intended to see every
thing possible concerning the canal.

Boston, Mass. According to the
American Agriculturist's final report
of the apple crop of the United States,
the total is 36,120,000 battels,
against 24,000,000 barrels in L90o,
and rather more than 40,000,000
barrels in each of the three' precede
ing years. While the crop is thus by
po irieans a bumper one, it is very
