Girl of Thirteen Married to Man of Forty-Five Boone, la., Truant Officer Discovers Peculiar Condition While Try ing to Enforce Law. ST. LOUIS. April .-Davld T. Wstson. Pittsburg's most noted corporation lawyer, this morning concluded his argument upon the law from the viewpoint of the defense in the suit Instituted by the government In the federal tribunal of this district to have the Standard Oil company ot New Jersey dissolved as a persistent violator ot the Sherman anU-trust act. Mr. Watson, who appeared as the" gov ernment's counsel In the now famous Northern Securities rase, and whose argu ment Is credited with having won- that suit for the government, to a great de gree repealed his argument of yesterday afternoon, dwelling with more particularity upon the details of the, law as he Insisted it should be construed by the court. Again and again the Pittsburg lawyer empha sised his first legal proposition, that It mattered not what the defendants might have done In former days, the only ques tion for the court, from his viewpoint, was whether the Standard Oil waa engaged In restraining commerce and engaging In un fair competition on November 16, 1904, when the bill of complaint was filed against It. Not Liable Under Common Larr.. Mr. Watson also look Issue with Prose cutor Kellogg s oft-repeated contention that the men forming the Standard were liable and guilty as alleged under the federal common law. "There is not today and never was a crime possible under the fed eral common law," declared Mr. Watson. "Nor Is there In all thia great mass of tes timony a single sentence of evidence to prove that the defendants were guilty of a, violation of any provisions of the Sherman act on November 15, 190S, and what, I contend, Is the only proposition before this honorable court for review." Morlts Rosenthal, the Standard's $1,000 a day legal advisor, and who has taken the greater portion ol the 8,000.000 words of evidence In the present case, has recovered from his temporary Indisposition and was early about his hotel. Mr. Rosenthal will take up the argument of the defense fol lowing Lawyer Watson. Many eipeoted that the noted Chicago lawyer, who se cured the reversal of the government's 129,000,000 case, would discuss, like Mr. Watson, the law In the case. When asked this morning to which portion of the suit he would address himself, Mr. Rosenthal replied that he would discuss facts. "It's facts facts," said he, "that win lawsuits." Rosenthal on Rebates. The portion of the evidence to which the Chicagoan will confine himself will be a resume of the alleged railway rate dis criminations, a subject with which he is probably as familiar as any attorney la the country. It la a contention of Mr. Rosen thal that the Standard never enjoyed any especial favoritism In the matter of rail way rates from Whiting, I rut, where the Standard's great refinery Is located, that any other shipper could not have secured for the mere asking. ' Attorney Kellogg, for the government. Included In his side of the case several hundred thousand words taken from the record of the Chicago case, which be hoped would assist In supporting his contention of rate discriminations. The reversal of that, case leaves this evidence of no especial moment, but notwithstand ing it Is to this phase of the government's claims that Mr. Rosenthal will devote the greater portion of his time. Contention of Mr. Watson. Lawyer Watson represented ibe govern ment In the "Northern Securities" case, and is credited with having won that suit fur the government. In his Interpretation of the decision In that now oft-quoted prece dent in federal law, Mr. Watson Insisted that In the present case and that suit two separate and distinct principles of law were Involved, and that under no stretch of the Imagination could they be deemed Identical. The crux of his argu ment was that the defendants could not be held for their conduct of years past, and that the only point the court could consider was whether It was acting In restraint of commerce, cngaglrg In unfair competition or doing any of the many other divers things alleged on the 16th day of November, 190S, the day the petition in the present case was filed. BOONE, la., April D.-(Speclal Telegram.) When Truant Officer O.
