Suit to Dissolve Standard Oil Will Go
to Supreme Court.
W ashington, April 6.—The hearing
in the case of the U nited S tates
ag ain st the Standard Oil company,
of New Jersey , which will be begun
before the U nited S ta te s C ircuit court
in St. Louis tomorrow, is one of the
most im portant and far-reaching civil
actions th a t has ever come up for trial
in this country. The bill of com plaint
on the p a rt of the U nited States,
charging a violation of the Sherman
a n ti-tru st law, was filed in November,
1906. The Standard Oil company, of
New Jersey , the parent organization,
together w ith its various subsidiary
corporations; John D. Rockefeller,
Henry M. Flagler, H enry R. Rogers,
John D. Archbold, Oliver P. Payne and
Cnarles M. P ra tt are charged w ith hav
ing entered into an agreem ent, com
bination and conspiracy to restrain
trade and commerce among the several
states, to monopolize trade and com
merce in the purchase of petroleum
and in the distribution, sale and ship
m ent of the products of petroleum .
The U nited S ta te s seeks perpetually
to enjoin the defendants from doing
any act looking to carrying out the al
leged combination or conspiracy and to
dissolve the Standard Oil combination.
The governm ent concluded its te s ti
mony on January 21, 1909. About 400
witnesses were exam ined, approxi
m ately 200 appearing for each side.
The issue is so im portant, that,
w hatever may be the result of the trial
by the C ircuit court, the case certainly
will be appealed to the U nited S tates
Supreme court.

40 m iles northw est of Pendleton, which

Chicago, A pril 3.—T here will be no
contest between the SL Paul road and
the H arrim an lines over te rrito ry to
be occupied by e ith e r in terest in the
Pacific N orthw est. This was decided
during the b rief v isit of Edward H.
H arrim an in
Chicago
W ednesday.
W hile in his private car, which stood
in the Park Row statio n of the Illinois
C entral road, Mr. H arrim an was v isit
ed by P resident A. J . E arling, of the
St. Paul road, and arrangem ents were
completed for the jo in t use of certain
track s by the St. Paul and the H a rri
man lines.
•
Although none of the officials in te
rested in the deal would say anything
concerning it, it is understood th a t the
ten ta tiv e agreem ent will obviate the
necessity of Mr. H arrim an ’s building a
line betw een S e a ttle and Tacoma, as
he contem plated doing as a p a rt of his
line from Portland to S eattle. The
two men had only a few m om ents' con
versation, but it was sufficient to
clinch an agreem ent regarding v/hich
they had talked several tim es before.
In this connection also it is stated
th a t the conference betw een Mr. H a rri
man and Louis W. H ill in San F ra n
cisco is likely to re su lt in a b e tte r un
derstanding between the Hill and H ar
rim an lines in the Pacific N orthw est.
It is stated th a t all three interests
realize the benefit which would come
shodld there be a truce among them
w ith respect to territo ria l aggression
in the N orthw est.
As the price of
peace, however, Mr. H arrim an is said
to insist upon the opening to his lines
of the P ortland gatew ay, and it is
thought by many th a t concessions will
be made in th is direction by the Hill
people.
ONE G R E A T T R U S T .
Harriman Would Put Every Railroad
Under One Head.
Denver, March 31.—If E. H. H a rri
man could have his way, he would
bring all the railroads in A m erica into
one g ian t combination, under one head,
and begin im m ediately the expenditure
of $250,000,000 or $300,000,000 in im
proving the w eaker roads, both physi
cally and financially. In this way he
suys he believes he could do the g re a t
est good to the governm ent, the people
of the United S ta te s generally to the
shippers individually and finally to the
owners of railroad stock.
Mr. H arrim an spent two hourB in
Denver today as the guest of the cham
ber of commerce, then departed on his
eastw ard journey.
“ If we could, we would throw our
cloak over the w eaker lines throughout
the country and begin im m ediately the
expenditure of between $250,000,000
and $300,000,000 to improve th em ,”
said Mr. H arrim an in an informal talk
a t the cham ber of commerce.
“ It
ought to be done im m ediately and I
think I can qualify as an e x p ert on
these m atters.
This Bhould be done
openly and under some so rt of govern
m ent supervision. But we would all be
put in prison if w e tried i t . ”
