WASHINGTON. Juno 4. SpeciaL) If
the "Standard Oil crowd" ever had any
" Intention such as has repeatedly been
charged against it of financing a cam
paign against the Roosevelt corporation
control policies. It is likely to And itself
so occupied in other directions as to
change its views. Whether the big men
of oil ever really entertained such de
signs, it is well known that they were
suspected by the Administration. The Ad.
ministration got to them first, however,
anil they have had other uses for their
money lately than managing big political
movements.
There is a tremendous accumulation of
trouble ripening for the oil combination.
The states are after it and the Federal
Government is believed to be in a fair
way to defeat it in the courts in the
great action at St. Louis demanding dis
solution of the company. The Circuit
Judges are Sanborn and Vandevanter,
both of whom united in the decision that
the Northern Securities Company waj il
legal under the Sherman law, and Hook
and Adams. The two last-named also
have records of vigorous decisions against
corporations in mors or less similar pro
ceedings. Beaten In Several States.
It Is no secret that the Department of
Justice, casting about and studying the
different circuit benches of the country
before it started this dissolution case, de
cided on the St Louis circuit because it
had more confidence in the friendly dis
position of the Judges there than in any
other circuit. The Bastern circuits were
not seriously considered, because it was
believed the Judges there would lean
toward the corporation side.
Successful for many years in the courts,
the Standard Interests are at last facing
an unprecedented change of luck. Texas
has found the Waters-Peirce Company,
a subsidiary of the Standard, guilty
under the anti-trust laws of the state and
its fine has been placed at l,5OO,O0O. More
serious still, its license to do business in
the state is cancelled. A like outcome
at early date Is expected in Missouri.
Ohio is close on the trail of the octopus
and it has been convicted in Illinois in
the Federal Court and will be fined at
least as much as was assessed in Texas
and perhaps several times more.
2n view of the fact that the pipe-line
clause of the new rate law has been In
effective, there will be an effort next
session of Congress to amend it into use
fulness. May Dissolve Voluntarily.
Altogether the campaign is now pro
gressing so well that there is already
serious discussion of the possibility that
the Standard Oil Comoanv may either I
dissolve voluntarily or be dissolved by
court order. In that case, what is to be
come of the Immense properties? They
will continue in physical existence and
the same people who now own Standard
Oil shares will continue to own them.
There is a strong sentiment in favor of
treating the oil combine as the President
has proposed to treat the railroads; that
is. to recognize the right of combination,
possibly even to the extent of fixing
prices on its products, based on thorough
analysis of its financial condition, cost of
production, capital Invested and so forth.
This would be the longest step ever
tnken in this country toward state so
cialism; but if other plans of control
prove xns ineffective with the Standard as
they have with the Northern Securities
combination, it Is by no means Impossible,
as many public man feel, that public
opinion may force a direct interference of
the Government to this extent.
Rebels Adopt Guerrilla Tactics.
AMOV. China, June 4. The leader of the
Insurgent Chinese forces has issued an ad

ernment, the date fixed for the uprising
being June 34.

opinion that a general resumption of

The decision of the companies, made at
the request of the government, not to
prosecute deserters, will have. It Is con
sidered, a good influence on the men
who rtill waver.
The men at several ports have ex
pressed a desire for continuation of the
movement, but the officers Renerallv
are inclined to go back to work. The
delegates of the strikers met again
today, and confirmed their action of

assassin stated that he was but IS years
old. This statement. It la thought, if ac
cepted as a fact by the Jurymen, may

mend clemency.

Guatemala, has a representative here,
who will send reports upon the progress
or me trial in that country.
