Watson in Fight to Keep
Trust Alive.
NO DECISION UNTIL FALL
Closing Argument of Government
Will Be Completed This Week,
land Court Will Take
Long Deliberation.
ST. LOUIS. April 9.-Th Standard Oil
awj-ers competed their arguments today
In the Government1, suit to dissolve the
corporation a a violator of the Sherman
law.
Attorney KelloRs will m up for the
Government tomorrow and the court then
will take the case under advisement In
view of the great mass of evidence and
arguments to consider, it is not expected
that a decision will be handed down be
fore Fall.
David T. Watson. Pittsburg-s most
note,! corporation lawyer, concluded to
day n! argument upon jhe law from the
viewpoint of the defense of the Govern
ment suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
ompany for alleged violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
Question or Present Only.
Mr. Watson, to a great degree, repeated
nl argument of yesterday afternoon,
dwelling- with more particularity upon the
details of the law aa he insisted it should
be construed by the court.
Tim FJItsburg lawyer emphasized
strongly his flrst legal proposition that it
mattered not what the defendants, might
nave dona in former days the only ques
tion for the court waa whether the
Standard was engaged in restraining
commerce and engaging in unfair com
petition on November 15. Xi. when the
bill of complaint was filed against them
Mr. Watson also took issue with Prose
cutor Kellogg that the men forming the
Wtandard were liable and guilty as al
leged, under the Federal-common law
Mr. Watson insisted that the evidence
Bliowed only that the defendants had
enlarged through better business meth
ods, but that of the restraint of trade
there was not a scintilla of proof.
Rosenthal Takes Hold.
Mr. Rosenthal then begnn bis argu
ment, taking up first the alleged rail
way discriminations In favor of the
Standard Oil.
"I maintain that In all this great
record there Is no proof that these de
fendants ever received discriminatory
rates secret or otherwise over their
competitors."
Mr Rosenthal declared that the so
called concessions," when reduced to the
lest analysis, did no.t show that the
standard had received discriminatory
l-ight rates from the railways
"Our corporation has not grown be
cause of rate tdiscrlmlnations." he eald

THsrussing competition, the attorney
n flve ot the 51 witnesses
cmiiefl by the Government to testify to
untalr tactics were not either discharged
employes of the Standard Oil Company
or competitors. He said: P '
"Ninety-five per cent of the Govern
ment a evidence was Incompetent and.
If judged by the A B C's of the ru7e
of evidence, would be thrown out "
John J. Johnson, of Philadelphia' then
began the eoncludlng argument for the
defense, discussing both the law and the

SORRENTO. April 9. F. Marion Craw
ford, the novelist, i died here at 7-30 to
night. Mr. Crawford knew the end was near
and calmly he encouraged his family to
bear up and to cease weeping.
"I enter serely Into eternity," he said.
Mr. Crawford collapsed last night, but
the night was without fever. Sadly he
expressed the presentiment that he was
soon to die. But almost immediately
afterwards, when referring to the ap
proaching Good Friday, he said:
Mr. Crawford's daughter, at his request,
then read to him Plato's dialogues, the
novelist declaring that they taught him
serenity in death.
Everywhere tonight in the village of
Sant Agnello, where the Vllle Crawford
Rtands next to the old Capuchin monas
tery 200 feet above the sea. there was
profound mourning over Mr. Crawford's
death. The fishermen and peasants among
whom the author was most popular went
to the village to express In silence their
sorrow. All the shops in the village were
closed.
The municipality desires to give Mr
C rawford a public funeral, but it Is be
lieved It was his wish to have no pomp
and the matter will be held In abeyance'
until tomorrow, when the authors will

The news of Mr. Crawford's death has

T. Port Said. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr
t rawford were Intimate friends and when
the former was In Naples made an in
quiry as to the condition of the author.
Tt!TvnAS Mar!on CrTwford was born In
Italy August 2. 1854. His father. Thomas
Ward, was a sculptor; while his mother
was a sister of Julia Ward Howe. His
early schooling was received at Con
the t.ii H- "fter whlph he returned to
the Italian home of his parents, leaving
later to attend Trinity College. Cam
bridge, from where he graduated in 1S74.
After this he pursued his studies in
Rome and In Germany, paying especial
attention to philosophy and the lan
guages, in which he became very pro
ficient. He was a rer.der of Greek. San
scrit. Arabic. Persia., and Russian, and
was a fluent conversationalist in Ger
man, French and Italian.
When he was about 25 years of age his
health failed, and he went to Allahabad
In Northwestern India, to recuperate
There he became the editor of a dally
paper. On regaining his health he re
turned to the United States, and there
hjs uncle. .Samuel Ward, suggested that
he write a novel dealing with Eastern life
as he had seen it. "Mr. Isaacs" was the
result, which he completed in two
months, and which at once became popu
lar and founded him in his profession.
In the following eight years he pub
lished 12 other books, .each showing a
growing power, until he was seen at his
best in "Griefensteln." While not a
realist, Crawford's characters were true
to life, though tinged somewhat with the
heroic.
His novel. "The Palace of the King,"
was dramatized. It was reproduced in
Portland by Viola Allen and by the
Baker stock company. Another play.

JURY ON MONDAY?
Court Has Hopes That Calhoun
Men May Be Picked.
ELEVEN ARE NOW ACCEPTED
Twelfth Man Suits Prosecution and
Defense Has I-ast Word Monday.
One Talesman Never
" Heard of Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 8. Eleven
Jurors have been sworn to try the case
of Patrick Calhoun, who is charged
with offering a bribe to secure an over
head trolley franchise in this city. A
12th juror, temporarily accepted by both
sides. Is to undergo further examination
Monday, to which time the trial was
continued. It was evident today that
the completion of the Jury may be ac
complished at any hour after resump
tion of the trial next week.
Today's proceedings were complicated
by the fact that.two brothers had been
summoned as ...embers of the 33d spe
cial panel. William T. Lutge, a con
tractor, was practically qualified to try
the case when he said: "I am a Social
ist. I belong to the craft that lives oft
the sweat of other men's brows. I do
not work. I am a contractor."
It developed that the juror had been
Involved with the United Railroads in
settlement of a claim for damages. A
challenge by the defense was inter
posed, but Judge W. P. Lawlor declined
to entertain it.
Prosecution Is Satisfied.
Lutge ws the 12th juror and Judge
Lawlor immediately declared peremp
tory challenges In order. The prosecu
tion declared itself satisfied with the
jury, and the defense reduced the num
ber of their peremptories to five by
challenging Lutge. Otto Hildebrecht,
who was passed on March 31. was sworn
as the Jlth trial Juror.
Richard Lutge, manager of the Fol
som Iron Works, and a brother of the
juror previously examined, duplicated
his relative's testimony. Inasmuch as
he had presented two claims for dam
ages to the UrUted Railroads. One of
these, it developed, had been settled,
and the Indefinite character of the
juror's Information regarding the sec
ond claim resulted in an order post
poning further interrogation of Lutge
until next Monday.
Meanwhile, according to the court's
ruling, the attorneys continued the
quest for a 13th juror, who. If qualified,
would sit In a. supplementary capacity.
Net-cr Heard of Case.
The only known resident of San Fran
cisco who has heard nothing of the
graft prosecutions or any of the manv
ramifications of the bribery-graft Inves
tigation, although he has lived in the
city for 43 years, appeared in the trial
today, when Thomas Mair. a -German
wagon manufacturer, was examined in
the box as to his qualifications to oc
cupy the 12th seat. Malr declared he
knew nothing of the case at bar.
He w,as turned over to the prosecu
tion and Assistant District Attorney
O'Gara handed him a newspaper with
a request that- he read aloud from it.
Being unable to do so, he was excused
by consent.
Of the 33d venire examined by Judge
Lawlor this morning, 28 of the 60 were
reserved for Interrogation by counsel.
DENY VALIDITY OF WARRANT
Vnlted Railroads Lawyer Argues In
Famous Raid Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9. Attack
ing the form and validity of the search
warrant employed as a basis for the
raids upon the office and safes of the
United Railroads, two weeks ago, At
torney W. H. Metson, counsel for .the
corporation, completed today his argu
ment upon the Injunction granted by
Superior Judge Frank J. Murasky.
Without referring to the citation for
contempt, wherein it Is sought to have
Assistant District Attorney Hanley and
three other officers adjudged guilty of
disobeying an order of the court, he
devoted his argument to the allegation
that Police Judge Deasy. in issuing
search warrants upn petition of De
tective W. J. Burns, did not require
the proper showing to be made, and
that the parties actually engaged in
the search exceeded to a great degree
the authority conferred by the search
warrant.
Upon request of the District Attor
ney's office, made in court today, Su
perior Judge Seawell . ordered a con
tinuance until next Wednesday of the
first hearing upon the order restrain
ing Police Judge Deasy from inspect
ing or disposing of the papers seized
in the search of the United Railroads
offices. It was represented that the
attorneys were engaged elsewhere, and
Assistant District Attorney Robert Har
rison stated that he would, prior to
the hearing, file a demurrer to the
coniplaint of William M. Abbott, who
appears as petitioner in the action.
Later, however. Mr. Metson took up
the matter of alleged contempt, argu
ing first the validity of the search
warrant. He declared that the reports
and other papers alleged to have been
stolen from the office of W. J. Burns
w-ere described too vaguely, and that
the warrant attempted improperly to
convey authority to search in two sep
arate buildings for the same property
"But even if the warrant was in
proper form, and even if the applica
tion for an injunction was Improperly
drawn up," said Mr. Metson, "there is
every legal reason why the court
should punish the open violation of its
own order, which was a separate and
distinct issue."
At the close of the argument Judge
Murasky declared himself unable to
proceed further with the hearing, and
set Mr. Hanley's closing argument for
next Tuesday, when the matter prob
ably will be submitted.
