> "CRUSH OIL TRUST"
Is Slogan Heralded by United
States Government.
INITIAL MOVE IS MADE
Suit is Filed at St. Louis to Dissolve
Giant Monopoly?All Standard Oil
Companies Are involves in
the Proceedings.
*
>
The United States government Thursday
made initial move to dissolve the
Standard Oil monopoly by filing in
the United States district court in St
Louis a petition in equity against the
Sttydard Oil company of New Jersey
. and its seventy constituent corporar
tions and partnerships and seven part
nerships, including John D. Rockefel^
ler and William Rockefeller, asking
that the combination be declared un
lawful and In the future - enjoined
from entering into any contract or
combination in restraint of trade. The
. suit is brought under the Sherman
a?iti-trust act, which the Standard and
its constituent companies and the
seven individual defendants are cnarg
?d with violating.
Attorney General Moody says criminal
prosecution is reserved for future
consideration.
Frank B. Keliogg of St. Paul, Miun.,
special assistant to Attorney General
Moody, brought the petition to St
IA>uis. The document was filed with
the clerk of the United States circuit
t court by the government's local representatives.
United States District Attorney
D. P. Dyer and Special Counsel
Kellogg.
? After the filing of the petition,
Judges Sanborn and Adams of the
United States circait court of appeals,
upon petition, issued an order granting
the federal officers authority immediately
to serve notice upon these^
defendants who are not residents of
the judicial district in which the suit
has been filed.
The government's petition is signed
by William H. Moody, attorney gen?ral;
Milton B. Purdy, assistant to
. . the attorney general; F. B. Kellogg,
C. U. Morrison and C. A. SeyerancS,
special assistants to the attorney genjj
?ral. The petition contains 194 pages
of printed matter or about 100,000
words and additIoi*al 84 pages of exhibits,
consisting of by-laws-and mlnntes
of Standard Oil meetings and
organization, and a map showing the
retail prices of oil in every state and
territory of the union.
The investigation into the methods
pursued by the Standard Oil company
began early in 1905, and the results
were laid before congress last May
by President Roosevelt, who accompanied
the report by special message
\ denouncing the apparent methods pursued.
The president asserted at the
lime that suits would be instituted in
the United States courts to abolish
the combination and the filing of the
suit Thursday marks the initial step.
The defendants are entitled to one
TOOntn m wmcn 10 eiuur ineir tLpyear??
ance and sixty days in which to file
answer to the allegations in the deposition.
They also have the option of
\ filing a demurrer to the bill.

POSSE KILLS DESPERADO.
Negro
Who Slew Five Men In Ashevillc
Gives Up His Life.
A special from Asheville. N. C.,
says: Standing at bay, fighting with
'i all the desperation of a man who
laughs at death, Will Harris, the five
/ limes murderer, fell riddled with bullets
from the rifles of cool, but determined
officers and citizens in the
woods near Fletcher, N. C., Thursday
afternoon. He died as he lived, his
' hand raised against every man, fighting
to the last, giving shot for shot
. until his last cartridge was expended.
Then, as with one accord, the
avenging rifles rang out carrying the
message of death to the murderer of
the .brave officers, Blackstock and
Bailey, and of three innocent negroes.
TOM AND LILLIAN SEPARATE. I
Senator Piatt and His Spouse Agree
to Disagree.
(Senator Thomas C. Piatt of New
York and his wife, formerly Mrs. Lillian
T. Janeway, have agreed to separate.
The deed was signed by both,
and, in part, is as follows:
"While there have been differences
and disputes, which seem to make
a separation advisable, there has been
no conduct -on the part of either
which could possibly be the foundation
nt a rUvorce action. No question of
the infidelity of either to the othor
has ever been raised."

Twenty-Fifth Infantry, who have been
ordered dishonorably dismissed from
the United States army, to take steps
for their re-instatement and to ascertain
what rights they have, if any, to
protect them against the effect of
President Roosevelt's recent order debarring
them from future employment
in the government service.
The statement, is made that a number
of persons, both white and black,
have expressed their willingness to
assist in bearing the expenses of the
suit. Mr. Wetmore says he intends
to have two hills introduced at the
next session of congress on behalf of
tiie Afro-American council, one depriving
the president and secretary
of war of the power to discharge soldiers
without trials, and the other for
the reinstatement of the negroes discharged
from the Twenty-fifth infantry.
Calls were sent cut for special meetings
of the ministerial association of
negro preachers, the JtJapust ministers
meeting; and the clerical union of
Long Island to take action on President
Roosevelt's attitude toward the
i negro troops.
An Appeal to Taft.
Marv Church Terrell, a member of
the Constitutional League, of New
York, called npen Secretary Taft at
the war department a't Washington
Saturday by direction of the league
and Legged him to suspend, until the
president returns, the execution of the
order discharging without honor a battalion
of the Twenty-fifth infantry at
Fort Reno.
In addition to this presentment from
the ieague. Secretary Taft also had
before him a telegram containing resolutions
adopted by the Republican
county committee of New York, also
praying that the negro troops be given
a hearing and that meanwhile the
execution of the order be suspended.
Secretary Taft pointed out that the
action complained of was a presidential
order. He said that he had already
caused an inquiry to be made
of General McCaskey, the department
commander at San Antonio, as to what
had been done toward executing the
order, and be further intimated that
he might communicate with the president
upon the subject.
PRESIDENT LEAVES PANAMA.
Expresed Himself as Pleased With
Condition of Canal Affairs.
A special from Colon says: President
Roosevelt had a conference Fri
day night with -the heads of the various
canal departments and went
aboard his train at Tiyoli at 8:30
o'clock Saturday morning to begin
the homeward journey. As the train
passed Camp Elliott, the marines
there were lined up for review and
the band played "Idle Star Spangled
Banner." At Gatun, President and
Mrs. Roosevelt disembarked and
t
climbed the hill where the big dam
and locks will be located.
President Roosevelt said he was
pleased with the condition of affairs
and the system now established in the

lost their lives, scores of ethers injured,
;ind property and crops suffered
great damage, the extent of which
"because of the meagre reports obtainable,
cannot be estimated at this
time, as a result of a terrific wind
and rnin storm, which originated on
the gulf Saturday night and early
Sunday, swept northeastward through
portions of Alabama, central and
northern Mississippi and western Tennessee
and in its northward course
razed scores of substantial buildings,
I?artidlly demolished hundreds of others,
caused a complete demoralization
of railroad traffic, and cut off telegraphic
communication with many
points in the affected territory.
Cotton in the fields was blown down
by the wind, beaten into the ground,
and, if not totally, badly damaged.
Besides the loss of life and property |
damage, which is known to have cc- J
curred a number of points directly in i
the pathway of the stoim cannot oe
communicated with as yet, and when
complete reports have been received
it is feared the loss to both life and
property will be greatly increased.
Throughout almost the entire districts
rain continued to fall 'Sunday
night, but in decreased volume.
The storm approached Athens, Ala.,
from the west, and cut a path three
hundred yards wide through the southern
portion of that city. A score of
buildings were wrecked, but no one
was killed or seriously injured*.
At Winona. Miss., three churches
were demolished, gud numerous
buildings unroofed and badly damaged.
Among the largest buildings damaged
at this place are the postoffice,
opera house, the oil mill, the compress,
warehouse and the residence of
E. J. Dunkston. Besides these about
twenty-five smaller buildings were almost
completely destroyed. Of those
buildings not totally destroyed, the
compress wa's probably the most badly
damaged.
At Nonconnah creek, a few miles
from Memphis, a railroad trestle fell
under the weight cf a switch engine,
the engine plunging into the swollen

Jay Gould's Daughter Award-!

LITTLE BONI SET ADRIFT
French Court Assesses Costs of Suit
Against Him?Gets No ?Alimony
and is Now Just a Plain
Beggar.
A Paris special says: The tribune
of first instance of the (Seine, Judge
Ditte presiding, at noon Wednesday
granted a divorce to the Countess do
Castellane, formerly Anna Gould of
New York, and gave her the custody I
of her children, who, however, will
not be allowed to be taken from
France without the consent of their .
father, Count Boni de Castellane.
The end of the famous case came
suddenly. The court brushed aside the
demand of the count's lawyers for
an examination of witnesses, and, as reported,
the public prosecutor did not
even ask to be heard.
As soon as the court assembled
Judge Ditte handed down the judg*
raeht, which is a sweeping victory for
the countess. In granting her petition
for divorce the court gave the
countess the custody of her children,
the count being allowed only the usual
rights to see them $nd share in the
control cf their education, which was
not contested.
The count is given the right to see
the children at stated periods at the
home of their grandmother and keep
them a month annually during the
holidays.
The count's demand for an "alimentary
allowance of $50,000 annually"
was pronounced by the court to be
f/~.nrelation in law. and was re
ttKUVUI, iuuuu?>.wu ? ... , _ _
jected.
The court appointed' the president
of the chamber of notaries to liquidate
the affairs of the husband and
wife. I
The judgment was given with costs
against the count. The decree, the
reading of which hardly consumed five
minutes, was delivered by the judge,
in a voice so low as to be practically
inaudible to the eager crowd filling
the court room. Many women climbed
the stairs In vain efforts to hear the I
decision and when they were aware I
that a divorce was granted they seem- I
ed actually to resent the loss of a
public trial at which people in high
society would be compelled to testify.
? *. The
text of the decree does not go
into the details of the countess' bill
of particulars, "inasmuch as Madame
de Castellane submitted letters and I
documents, several * of which were I
/from the count himself, establishing
sufficiently that since Cheir marriage,
notably In 1S98, 1902 and 1905, he J
had relations and correspondence with I
various women of easy virtue, which
was most offensive to a wife.
The court also took a precaution
against any unreasonable attitude on. I
the part of the count toward allowing I
his wife to take her children out of
France, by providing that, in case of I
his refusal, judicial - authorization
could be granted. . !
The decree orders the countess to I
send the children on inursuajo OUU I
Sundays to their grandmother, the
Marquise de Castellane, and their surrender
to their father for a week at
New Year's, and Easter, and for a
month in the summer.
Dame Gould, as the former Countess
de Castellane, will hereafter be
known, her title having ceased with
the granting of the divorce, expi'essed
the greatest satisfaction when she received
the news at her residence on
the Avenue Malakoif. Miss Helen
Gould, who will remain in Paris until
after Christmas, was with her at the
time. Madame GoBd has no present
intention of leaving Paris.

ROCKY MUST FACE JURY
Standard Oil Magnate and Some of /
f -
His Associates Indicted for Flagrant
Violation of the Law.
. $
At Findlay, Ohio, Wednesday, the
grand jury found indictments against
John D. Rockefeller and four other
persons in connection with the Standard
Oil inquiry, which was. reopened
upon the reconvening, of that body in
adjourned session. $
The bench warrants issued upon
the indictments were placed in the
hands of Sheriff Groves, who immedi- \ J
ately took them and went to Cleveland
to serve them. v.J|
It is understood the indictments
cnarge tne aeieuaunis wuu uavug wutinued
to contract the Oil productions 1
and to fix prices on and after July 7.
1906, in violation of the Valentine ^
anti-trust act, a state law under which " gfl
the recent prosecution of the Standard
Oil company, in Hanpock county. "J
was conducted, and in which a tine .
of $5,000 was imposed by the probate ?
court.
Prosecutor David stated that no at- .Jj
tempt would be made at this time to $
compel J. D. Rockefeller to coine/to
Findlay, as his appearance had already |a
been entered by his attorney in the
matter of the information new pending
in the probate court.
Mr. David gave as a reason for not : J
making the indictments public the J|
fact that none of the parties named
in them had been served with war-' :'M
rants of arrest. He declared that several
persons subpenaed as witnesses /Jfj
in the recent Standard Oil trial had
left the state and thus avoided teatifving.
. .
According to C. O. Myers, a member
of the jury that convicted the- Standard'
Oil company of violating the antk.-v^j
trust law, a bribe of $500 was twice >||1
offered him during tfie trial on condl* -$j
tiop that he hang the jury and force a
disagreement
Myers says he doesn't know the
man who tendered him the money,, butthought
it war. the same man in both 'M
instances. " r'jH
Rumors of attempts to bribe or oth>
erwise influence jurymen- had been [M
frequent during the trial and after* 3
ward. This gave rise to the inquiry- ^B
After leaving the jury room Myers
admitted that he had described at? ^
tempts to bribe him. . _ . ,
