Thompson says that he is really will eave in- anxious to meet Langford—not in a ten round bout, however. In his challenge he insists on a twenty- round bout, how— sin” orshe ofa round encounter or a finish flgh‘t, perferably the latter, the weight at 1656 pounds ringside. The globe trotting middle-weight will stop at Kansas City to talk over the possibilities of a match with the colored boxer with Cass Welsh. If the match can be made Thompson is willing to put up a big side bet that he can whip Langford in either a twenty-round go or a finish fight. Jonny is through with ten-round bouts. He realizes that his claim to the middle-weight title can only be strengthened or clinched over the long route. His battle with Hugo Kelly, the local Italian, made that clear. Thompson is anxious, how- ever, to meet Kelly at any distance over ten rounds. He figures that he can take all the punishment that the Italian is able to mete out after ten or fifteen rounds have him so tired that he will be at his mercy. with Grand Forks Pickets Defeated. By defeating their old time rivals the Grand Forks Pickets, Crookston baseball fans are jubilant, the score resulting 8 to 6.

The two 5 . teams were evenly matched and not { until the last man was out was the final outcome of the contest deter- i mined. Arangements are now being 1 made whereby the Bemidji team will it play Brainerd. - Veto Bill Passes Commons.

Chicago, May 17.—In La Salle street and everywhere in Chicago where financlers foregather the only topic ot conversation was the decision ot the supreme court which dissolved the Standard Oil company of : w Jersey, the greatest combination of business interests that has ever been known. That the combination must be re- solved finto ita constituent elements and all stocks and assets returned to the original companies, was recog: nized. But how this is to be done was the question that preseated itself to the finite mind. “It will make a multimillionaire of lda M. Tarbell, the original foe of the Standard Oll and Rockefeller Inter- ests,” eaid a banker. "“Her father, so 1 understand from Misa Tarbell's pub- lication, was the sole owner of the Pennsylvania- Oil company, one of the |original companies which the Stand- ard took over and made a part of the combination. “What will be Mlss Tarbell’s atti- tude now that by a ruling of the ® preme court of the United States she, as the sole heir of her father, has been made a ooonstituent part of ‘the oil trust? The situation brought about ls in- teresting. To me just now, that 1 bave ocovered all my stock market commitments, It is more (nteresting than the fact of the decision itself. ‘The great coup of John D. Rocke- teller—and we all know that he {s ca- pable of such things—would be to make Miss Tarbell a direotor in every company in which the oil trust 1a In tereated. He could do it, tco, now that she 1s @& stockholder, without the shadow of her consent.” New Jersey Loses by Decision. Trenton, N. J., May 17.—The deci- sion of the United States supreme court dissolving the Standard Ol com- pany will cost the state of New Jer- sey $51,000 a year in taxes. This is the amount turned into the state treasury each year by the oil corpora- tion umder the law governing the taxa- tion of miscellaneous corporations. The Standard Ofl company, the Unit- ed States Steel corporation and: the American Tobacco company: are- the biggest taxpayers under the miscel NP rEATTIA\IP AN CAN EASTERNERS §TOP TIGERS Tommy Clark Says Uuless They Do; the Fun is All Over. By TOMMY CLARK. Can the eastern teams stop the De- troit Tigers, give them a setback and otherwise cause them to lose their man eating ways? This question is now being asked by the baseball fahs. The wonderful showing of the club and the fact that they entered the month of May with the longest lead in base- ball history - have almost caused the black hairs on the heads of Hal Chase and Connie Mack to turn white. . Never in the history of the game has a team started off so well. If it were a weak team the other managers would have little to worry ®bout. But De- troit is a different proposition. = Jen- nings has a club this season hard to beat under any turn, and with a big lead the job is simply that much harder. Last year the Detroits were the vic- tims. of the worst. kind of- hard luek; otherwise they would have beén fac- tors to a finish. This season every- thing seems to be breaking their way. And in addition the team has ‘been greatly strengthened since the close of 11810. A big hole has beén filled up at first base, and the twirling staff is the best Jennings has ever had. In fact, the club is fully 30 per cent stronger than last year. Here is another point: Detroit has still a long list.of games to play at home. If the eastern teams fail to stop the Tigers within the next few weeks Jennings and his band of pill eaters will have a lead that will be well nigh invincible. From then on the American league race will ‘become & procession instead of a fight. Although the season is still young, the Detroit club has come pretty near putting the entire western section on the bliuk by the most sustalned rush ever shown by any team. It will be very interesting to watch the work of the eastern teams when they tackle Detroit. It's up to them to overhaul them, provided they are going to be overhauled. Poor twirling helped in keeping the Tigers from being closer up last sea- son.. Jennings recently complained that he had too many good young twirlers. It's a complaint that i8 posi- | tively ' unique in the annals of base- ball. It's an affliction which many other clubs in the league would wel- come with becoming avidity. This is in striking contrast to the condition of affairs for the previous two years. Always a great batting and base running club, it seems to have im. proved over previous seasons. Craw- ford is leading.the league in batting, and Cobb is close up, while Gainor is not very far behind. - Moriarty is wal- loping the-ball harder than ever, and Delehanty is also there with.his big stick. Besides being the bardest hit- ting team in the circult, it is the great- est base running club in either league. ‘With the team pelting the ball hard- er than ever and the players running the sacks like demons, the twirling staff stronger than ever and luck fa- voring the team, it will be hard work stopping themr. The catching staff could be improved upom, but is not weak by any means. Jennings has proved himself a re- sourceful leader. He has been. in charge of the team six-seasons, dur- ing which time he has captured three successive pennants, an American league record. His methods are unique. Jennings never drives his players, but instills a never say die spirit into them which has enabled the Tigers to win out in many games at the very last minute. When he took hold of the team the members were fighting among themselves. The club was disorganized and finished way down in. the .second division. The following season he perfected harmony to such an extent that the Tigers won the banner. Last year the outfielders were mnot on speaking terms.” Hughie parted with McIntyre up. Once more Jennings scored. Probably no manager in the major leagues has ripped up his infleld as rips he was severely censured by the critics, but later slapped on the back by the same men. When the Tigers won the pennant in 07 the infleld was Rossman, Schaefer, O’'Leary -and Coughlin, Today not one of ’em fs left. Morlarity replaced Coughlin, Delehanty Schaefer and Bush O'Leary. Tom Jones was on first last year. He ‘was slowing up, so Jennings let him g0. Another big mistake, sald the ex- perts. But Jennings has landed a corking good first sacker in Gainor. THe latter is playing a great game at the Initial station.and batting like a streak. Take off your hat to Hughfe. He fis a leader to be admired by every:fan in every city for his managerial abili- ty and his never say dle spirit. Killed and Thrown Into River. Chicago, May 17.—The.body of a man whose arms had been pinioned to his sides, his legs wrapped with a heavy wire, was taken from the river at the Madison street 'bridge. There is a single clew to his identity—the laundry mark, “M. A.—454.” The po- lice opinfon of this mystery is that the victim was murdered by “slug- gers,” possibly as a result of labor troubles. Many Injured in Strike Riot. Grand Rapids, Mich., May 17.—At least a score of persons were injured and many members of a mob of 2,000 striking furniture workers and their sympathizers were hurt in a riot at the plant of the Widdicomb Furniture company. - Several of the injured mny die. ,)1':' Good deeds ring clear flwub bea Hke.a . bell.—Richter. _| without, apparently, glancing at the and made Cobb and Crawford make-| often as Jennings.

Ofl company on thc-dlculon against it ‘of the United States: supreme court has been an- nounced. - It makes. two pointa; clear: Firet, that there will be ho con- tumacy by the: complny——lt purposes 'to obey the decree; ‘and, second, that it will 'be some time before nny ‘plansf: of reoruqlntlon are given ont. The company has, insisted through. out that no. plans had been formulat- lutement made by Mortimer F. El- liott, general -solicitor for the: com- es the same attitude. He “Having only before us the press re- opinion and the remarks of Justica [ Harlan and not having yet seen the opinfon of the court in full, it is im- possible to make any lengthy state- ment. and studied by my assoclates and my- self befate it can be intelligently dealt with, ° “It may, however, be now said that the Standard Ofl company will obey the decres of the court, and that all | the companies embraced in the court’s decree will carry on their business as usual under the direction of their own officers and throuxh their own corpo- rate or;anlntlons." Willlam Rocketallgt Silent. ‘Willlam Rockefeller, one of the vice presidents of the Standard Ol com- pany, said regarding the decision: “At this time T cannot say a thing about the decision. The company will make a statement through Mr. Elliott after the decision has been read in every particular. All we can do is to hope that the decision is for the best. After alb'the Standard Oil case was only one-of the things affecting gen- eral business conditions unfavorably,” A conference of:directors- and -offi-| cers of the company was held at Its offices, attended by John C. Milbura, special counsel, but no statement fur- ther 'than that. made by William Rockefeller was forthcoming. Among those who attended were John D. Archbold, H. C. Folger, Jr., J. A. Moffatt, Walter Jennings, A. C. Bed- ford, Charles A. Pratt and E. T. Bed- ford. 'John D. Rocketeller did not come down from his country place.: Henry A, Flagler is in the South and Oliver C.’Payne was out of the city. GABINE‘!' CONSIDERS SUBJECT Future Policy of Dulln. With Trusts Discussed. ‘Washington, May 17.—The govern: ment’s policy in dealing with trusts and “comblnations of capltal, as It must be Shaped iu the light of the supreme court’s decision In' the Stand- ard Ofl*¢dse, was discussed by Pres. tdent Taf'and his cabinet. Usdodbtedly the action of the court in recognizing and legalizing “a' rea- sonable restraint” of interstate com- merce, opéns a new fleld of litigation in the govérnment's war upon monopo- lles, and thie future policy of this and other administrations may hang much upon that point. President Taft has declined to ex- press amy opinion until he could go over the court’s finding with Attorney General Wickersham. There was a great rush at the clerk’s office of the supreme court for coples of the famous opinjon. Although the full opinion of the court totaled more than 20,000 words, Chiet Justice White, to the surprise of all, announced at least half of it notes which law before him. Evidently the chief justice had the opinion so well arranged in his mind that he spoke it wlthout helps. ‘Standard. a “Bad” Trust. In endiag a struggle of years on the part of the government to put down a combination which was. claimed to be-a menace .to ‘the Industrial and economic- advancement: of the entire country, the court declared that the Standard: Ofl company of New Jer- gey and its nineteen subsidiary com- panies were a conspiracy -and combi- nation in “unreasonable” restraint ol trade under the Sherman law, and or- dered thé dissolutiondt the combina- tion within six months. At the same time,.the court did not oondemn all great interstate corpora- tions and did not hold that “every” restraint’ of trade was a violation of law. The decision plainly léft the in- terence that each enrnornuon whose acts may be called into-question must be judged upon the morltl of its par ticular case. In other words, the court seems to bhave upheld the doctrine that there are “good” and “bad” trusts. ‘ The Standard Ol was a “bad” trust. The fate of the so cilled tobacco. trust is hanging’ in the balance. Whether it 18 a “g00d” or a “bad” trust probably will he decided on May 29, the iast de- cision day of the present term of court. HARLAN ALONE— IN_FIGHT Differs From Collsagues In Interpreta. tion of Law.
