Additional Interest was lent to to
day's decision from the fact that
Judge "Willis YanderVanter, one of
President Taft's recent appointees to
the highest bench in the land, par
ticipated, as. a Judge of the eighth
United States circuit court in the
appealed decision handed down by
that tribunal against the Standard.
Heretofore a judge who has taken
part in a decision by a lower court
haa refrained from sitting on the
same case when H came before the
supreme bench for review, but in this
case Judge VandeVanter sat at Presi
dent Taft's expressed desire.
Coll It "Business Acumen."
In brief, Attorneys John G. Mil
burn, of New York, and John G.
Johnson, of Philadelphia, the Stand
ard's attorneys, set forth the claim
that the enormous growth of the or
ganization was due entirely to supe
rior business acumen, that the Stand
ard does not control the oil buslines,
and that the combination of Interests
under the general holding company,
the Standard Oil of New Jersey, was
not a trust for evil, nor a violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
For the government Attorney-General
WIckereham and Special Attorney-General
Frank B. Kellogg con
tended that the Standard was the out
come of a conspiracy hatched In 1870
which had been fed by Illegal rebates
fostered by unfair competition , and
made impregnable through entire
domination of the market.
Suit Began in 1900.
It waa in November, 1906, that
the suit Vxlay finally settled by the
decision of the United States su
preme circuit court, waa filed before
the United States circuit court In
St. Louis. The bill of complaint was
a drastic arraignment of the corpor
ation and Its guiding spirits, John D.
Rockefeller, Henry M .Flagler, Oliver
H. Payne, Charles M. Pratt, the late
H. H. Rogers and others. One hun
dred and forty-three subsidiary cor
porations were named a3 defendants.
More than two years were occupied
in tbe taking of testimony in various
cities, and John D. Rockefeller him
self was examined at length.
Ordered Dissolved.'
On November 20 1909, the circuit
court sustained virtually every con
tention of the government, adjudged
the Standa.rdi a trust In restraint of
trade, and ordered Its dissolution un
der the Sherman act.
From . this decision the Standard
appealed,' alleging 66 errors in the
decree. Briefly these were that the
court erred In compel'ing nonresi
dent corporations and Individuals to
appear at St. Louis; In overruling the
plea of the defendants that the court
had ao jurisdiction; in finding that
the 19 corporations absorbed by the
New Jersey company in 1899 were
competitive; In finding the seven in
dividual defendants, In eluding John
j D. and William G. Rockefeller, H.
! M. Flagler ancl H. H. Rogers In the
ten years prior to 1879 acquired com-
petlng companies, to suppress compe
tition; that thb subsidiary compan
; les were entirely controlled by the
j parent corporation, and that an ex
j change of stocks for an interest In a
j single corporation was Illegal,
