Standard oil Trust
Not “Dissolved” at All
Chicago, Sept. 11.—The Stand
,ard Oil Company has not been
dissolved. The federal govern
ment cannot dissolve the corpor
ation because a dissolution must
come from the state which gave
it its charter. This was the asser
tion today of Levy Mayor, coun
sel for the Standard Oil Company
and the Corn Products Refining
Company. Thestatement was in
argument in the suit of George
F. Harding before Federal Judge
Ferdinand A. Geiger. Attorney
Mayor explained that while the
properties of the Standard have
been dissolved in accordance with
the decree of the United States
supreme court, technically there
has not been ard could not be a
dissolutibn of the corporation it
self.
Arguments were on a moticn
to have the Standard Oil Company
and the Corn Products Refining
Company appear to answer to
charges in a suit of several years
standing for the appointment of
a receiver for the Corn Products
Refining Company and allied com
panies. Attorney William J.
Ammon, representing Harding,
remarked in his argument:
““You will please take judicial
notice that the Standard Oil Co.
has been dissolved.”’
Mr. Mayer then made the dec
lation explaining how the Stand
ard Oil Company had been dis
solved only as relates to its prop
erties and holdings.

Another Lynching
Barely Averted
Cummings, Ga., Sept. 11.—
Further lynching as a result of
the recent fatal assault by ne
groes on the young daughter of
a prominent planter near here,
was narrowly averted this after
noon. 'Three negroes, Oscar Dan
jiels, Della Daniels and Ed. Col
lins confessed today that they
were implicated in the attack on
the young girl. As soon as the
news became public a mob was
formed to hang them to the same
telephone pole on which Robert
Edwards, who confessed to the
assault, was hanged yesterday.
Sheriff Reed and his deputies,
learning of the mob being formed
rushed the three negroes from
the jail to an automobile and took
them to Atlanta to be placed in
jail. The mob then dispersed
when it learned that its intended
victims were no longer within
reach. Rumors of a negro insur
rection spread over the city this
afternoon and the officials
thought for some time that it
would again be necessary to ask
Governor Brown for state troops
t> prevent bloodshed. The city
is being carefully guarded to
night.

The Mileage Fight.
Governor’s Veto Virtually
Indorsed by Official.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—An
illuminating letter was received
by the railroad commission today
bearing on the question of pull
ing mileage on trains.
The letter is particularly force
ful, inasmuch as it comes from
the chairman of the national rail
iroad committee for the south
iwestern passenger association
district of the Travelers’ Protec
;tive Association, an organization
‘directly and vitallv concerned
!With the matter. Mr. Joyner
foresees exactly the same trouble
in Georgia obtaining in South
Carolina, if the roads are order
ed to pull mileage—the end of in
terchangeable mileage.

ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.
Suffolk, Va., Sept. 7, 1912.
Georgia Railroad Commission,
Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: Isee from yester
day’s Savannah papers you have
not rendered any decision in re
gard to pulling mileage on the
train. | I am in Baltimore for a
few days and the traveling men
who go south here again asked
me to write you and say we think
it would be much better to let the
mileage rest just where it is, for
I am quite sure Georgia would be
in the same fix as South Carolina
and the general traveling men
