Wellington. D. C, DM. 19, Dott
ed States Attorney UeneiHl Wleker
sham has refused to allow warwtntx
to be served on John I)
and other officials of the
Oil Companj , In the ruse
i he Magnolia Oil Company
was Indicted by a federal grand Jury
In Texas for criminal violation of
the Sherman law.
Once again, Mr. Wlckersham is us
ing the machinery of the great, of
fice of the department of justice to
protect, Instead of prosecute, the
millionaire heads of illegal trusts.
A hundred Instances could be oiled
where W'tckersham has, by means
of especially prepared opinions, or
ders and rules, given comfort to the
great industrial trusts, private mon
opolies and special privilege. It
was W'tckersham, the attorney gen
eral, who stopped important suits
against the beef trust immediately
upon taking office. It was Wicker
shain, the attorney general, who
rendered an opinion upholding I Sal -linger
and viciously attacking I.ouIh
It. Ulavls, who said It was legal for
sugar trust Interests to acquire by
tBO exploiiMtion pro ess &5,000 acres
of rich simar lands or the I'liilippineH
when the organic law of the islands
expressly declares that no corpora
tion shall be allowed to acquire more
than 2,500 acres. It was Wicker
sham, the attorney general, who
sanctioned the Taft administration
railroad regulation bill, later expos
ed and altered, containing a joker
legalizing the Southern Pacific-Union
Pacific merger, recently held unlaw
ful by the Supreme court. It was
Wickersham. the attorney general,
whose suit against the steel trust is
one in equity instead of a criminal
prosecution.
At the time of the appoint tnent of
Wickersham, it was said his M tac
tion by Mr, Taft was In recognition
of the desires of Mm great industrinl
trusts of the country, who had con
tributed large sums to Mr. Taft's
campaign fund, and who as a return
favor desired that a "safe" man be
placed In charge of the government
prosei tiling ma hiuery.
Before his appointment as
ne genera, 1 Mr. Wickeishatn
trust lawyer. For years and
he had been receiving huge
from corporations for Interpreting the
laws, not from the viewpoint of the
welfare of the people, but. from the
viewpoint of the welfare of tho
trusts. Mr. Wickersham wan a mem
ber Of tOO law fin,, of Strong &
( .olwalader. Congressman Henry T.
Hainey described this firm on the
floor of the house of representatives
as follows: t
"The firm ol Strong & Cadwala
der is one of these important New
York City legal firms to which great
corporations appeal for aid when
they propose to violate the laws ot
the land or wlfen they have violated,
the laws of the land."
The firm of Strong Ai Cadwalder.
at the time of Mr. Wicket-sham's ap
pointment as attorney general, rep
resented, among other great corpor
ations, the sugar trust, and one of
the last thing Mr. Wickersham did
as a member of t lie firm of Strong,
& Cadwalader was to draw down his,
portion of a sugar trust fee of some
thing like $25,000. And one of tho
first things Mr. W'tckersham did us,
attorno) gvaenU was to write, on
Juno 27. IU0!, to John B. Wise, C
S district aUornq for the southern
district of New York, a letter re
vealing his strong interest in three
sugar trust officials then in oantjOI
of the ptiiit '-lit lury. This remarka
ble letter, the authenticity of which
has never In-en denied by the attor
ney general, reads in part as fol
lows :
My dear Wise:
Senator Itoot has sent me
the proof of a petition signed by
Bowers, Milbum and Guthrie, in
support of their contention that
the statute' of limitations has run
in favor of Messrs I'ar.sons, Kis
sel and Harm. i If the only
overt acts done to carry out the
objects of the unlawful consplr
acv wore those referred to in
the brier, I should think they
were insufficient to save the
bar Of the statute. A strong ef
fort will be made tomorrow to
persuade the president to inter
fere in some way to prevent the
indictments Faithfully yours,
QUO. W. WICKERSHAM."
And now Mr. Wlekcrshaiu is tis
ing his office a attorney general to
save from arrest John I)
II. C. r'olgcr,Jr.. and W.
officers of the Standard
pan. v.
I'nder the Taft administration it
has been impossible for the govern-
: ineiti to control the trusts, tiecause
the trusts controlled the government.
At last it has been possible to elect
a president without (he financial sup
port of th beoJl Of Illegal tariff
trusts, ami it is hoped that I'reside-nt
Wilson will be ul.lc to find a man
I for attorney general who will be so
constructed temperaiuentully as to
feel that millionaire sugar trust bar
ons who rob the government and
violate the. law ought to be sent to
the penitentiary just like a poor man
is sent to the penitentiary when he
violates the law.
