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gree repealed his argument of yesterday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.
