The construction of the mine and the character of Its geological deposits all were against hoping for any one being "saved. It was with the greatest anxiety that the crowd awaited confirmation of the report that 150 were alive In the east gal lery. I)lfficulty was experienced In reach ing this portion of the mine. It was ha f an hour before a second report was re ce'ved from this section, having It that the number of men alive there numbered seventy-one. P.

The noise of the pounding was heard by the rescuers and the work of reaching thorn was begun.' - It was discovered tho men, after eating all their food, had subsisted mostly on. bark torn off the pin posts which were used to support the mine.' walls. At 3 o'clock word came from the bottom of the mine that Thomas Bailiff, a miner who Is also postmaster of Cherry, was alive. Inspector Crawford of the. State Board of Health, after being down In the mine for half an hour, reported that sixty-seven of the living were In a critical condition. They were so weak they were unable to stand the exertion of being moved. All the doctors were called and arrangements were made for them to go down Into th- mint-, where a temporary hospital has been ar ranged. "Some of the men aro so weak they can hardly gasp." said Dr. Crawford. "They are unable to take any solid food and such artificial stimulants aro being adminis tered as OuV small force will permit." .William Cleland, one of the survivors, af.er drinking a bowl of soup, apparel none the worse ftr hii experience.

Nov. ao-' It Is one of the moHt Important decisions ever rendered In this country," declared Attor ney General George W. Wickersham. when apprised here this moinlng of the decision dii-solvlng the Standard OH company. Mr. Wickersham had Just arrived at the federal prison here when news was con veyed to him by the Associated Press. He had come from Kansas City to Inspect the prison. "I am very much gratified at the decision, of course." said Mr. Wickersham. "But un til I have been able to see the full text, any opinion I might express must naturally be of a personal nature. "It Is one of the most Important decisions ever rendered in this country. "A decision of dissolution against a great corporation like that of the Standard Oil company Is the utmost that could have been Imposed by law upon a great monop oly, which has been the object of the anti trust legislation." OIL MERGER MUST BE DISSOLVED (Continued from First Page.) the history of the national government on account of the Important industrial and legal questions and the vast financial in terests It Involves. The evidence filled twenty-one volumes and occupied more than 10,000 printed pages and the arguments of counsel more than 800 printed pages. The nature of the case and the char acter of the decision appear from the syl labus of Judge Sanborn's opinion, which reads: "Congress has power under the commer cial clause of the constitution to regulate and restrict the use In commerce among the several states and with foreign nations of contracts of the method of holding title to property and of every other Instru mentality employed In that commerce so far as It may be necessary to do so in order to prevent the restraint thereof de nounced by the anti-trust act of July 2, 1SD0, 26 stat. 209. "Test of the legality of a combination under this act is its necessary effect upon competition In commerce among the states or with foreign nations. "If Its necessary effect Is only Inciden tally or Indirectly to restrict that compe tition while Its chief result is to foster the trade and Increase the business of those who make and operate It, it does not violate that law. Trade Restriction Illegal. "But If its necessary effect Is to stifle or directly and substantially to restrict free competition in commerce among the states or with foreign nations It is illegal within the meaning .of that statute. The Fower to restrict competition in commerce among the several states or with foreign nations, vested In a person or an association of persons by a combination Is indicative of the character of the com bination because it is to the interest of the parties that such a power should be exercised and the presumption that It Will be. "The combination in a single corporation or person, by an exchange of stock, of the power of many stockholders holding the same proportions respectively of the majority of the stock of each of the sev eral corporations engaged In commerce In the same articles among the states, or with foreign nations, to restrict competi tion therein, renders the power thus vested in the former greater, more easily exer cised, more durable and morn effective than previously held by the stockholders and ItSls Illegal. "In 199 the stockholders of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey owned a ma jority of the stock of nineteen other cor porations in the same proportions that they owned the stock of the Standard com pany and those twenty Corporations con trolled, by nhe ownership of the majority of their stock or .otherwise, many other corporations.. "Each of those corporations was engaged In some part of the business of producing, buying, refining, transporting and selling petroleum and its products, and they were cor.ductlr.g about au per cent of the produc- tion of tho crude oil and more than To per cent of the business of the purchasing, Mr r-haa 1X7 Pnef o "" -.wuvv, u pvuu- nent and respected citizen of East Haven, Conn., on the ad vice of his pastor some ten years ago, took Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskev as a tonic, with hmaU a 1 11 a. 1 1 I outu guuu iesuus mat ne nag made it his stand-by ever since.

"During the ten years prior to 1R79 the seven individual defendants had acquit d control of many corporations, partnerships and refineries that had been competing in this business and placed the majority ot the stock in those corporations and ih Interests In property In business thus ob tained In various trustees, to be held and operated by them for the stockholders ot the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, one of the nineteen companies in wnich the in dividual defendant were prlnclpnl stock holders and had thereby suppressed com petition among these corporations and partnerships. "In 18T9, they and their associate caused all the trustees to convev their interests in the stock, property and business of all these corporations to . five trustees, to be held, operated and distributed by them for the stockholders of the Standard Oil Com pany of Ohio. "From 1S79 until 1891 they prevented these corporations and others engaged In this business, of which they secured control, from competing In this commerce by caus ing the control of their operations and, generally of a majority of their stocks, to be held in trust for the stockholders of the Standard Company of Ohio, and from 1892 until 1899 they accomplished 'the same re sult by a similar stockholding device and by the joint equitable ownership of the majority of the stocks of the corporations. "In the year 1S99 the seven Individual de fendants and their associates caused the majority of the nineteen companies to be transferred to the Standard of New Jersey in exchange of Its stork so the latter com pany thereby acquired the legal title to a majority of the stock of each of the nine teen companies, the control of these com panies and of all the companies which they controlled and trie power to fix the rates of transportation, the purchase and selling price of petroleum and Its products which all these corporations should pay and re ceive In the conduct of their business In commerce among the siates and with for eign nations. Competition Is Killed. "Since that exchange of stock the seven Individual defendants have been and are stockholders and officers of the Standard Company of New Jersey, which has exer cised, and Is still using that power, and by Us use It has prevented, and is still pre venting, competition In commerce among the states and with foreign nations among the corporations. "Held; "The transaction constituted a combina tion and conspiracy In restraint of and to monopolize commerce among the states and with foreign nations In violation of sections 1 and 2 of the anti-trust act of July 2, 1890, and the government Is en titled to an Injunction against the farther continuance and operation thereof." The degree enjoins the seven Individual defendants, the Standard Oil company and Its subsidiary corporations from continu ing or carrying into effect the Illegal com bination they have formed and from enter ing into any like combination or con spiracy, the effect of which will be to re strain interstate commerce In petroleum or Its products, or to prolong the unlaw ful monopoly of such commerce obtained by the defendants as stated In the decree and they are forbidden from engaging or continuing In Interstate commerce until they discontinue their illegal combina tion. The decree takes effect ' twenty days from the date of Its filing unless sus pended by an appeal to the supreme court. CASE WILL, BE APPEALED Officers of Company Bar That Has Been Understanding;.

"How can a fellow who has passed the half century stone and a few more beside help frellng that the whirligig Is not what It used to be when even the ways In which people get killed are not what they were?" said a man who had a box party on the celebration of a birthday. "Every day we read of sudden deaths on the foot ball field, or from automobile collisions and spills, or drops from flying machines. Inw did people get killed before these modern death methods were Invented? "You hardly ever hear any more of a sudden killing In any of the old time ways. Is Jt because people do not take the CAKKFI L DOCTOR Prescribed Change of rood Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doc tor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to fwe usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific physi cians among the present generation who recognise and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an In stance: "Four years ago I was taken with se vere gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the- verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who bad a summer cottage near me a specialist from N. Y., and aa a last hope, sent for him.
