Watson Pittsburg’s most noted corporation lawyer, this morning concluded his argument upon the law from the viewpoint of the defense in the sult instituted by the government in the federal tribunal of this district to have the Standard Ol cdmpany of New Jersey dissolved as a persistent violator of the Sherman anti-trust act. Mr. Watson, who appeared as the gov- ernment's counsel in the now famous | Northern Securities case, and whose argu- ment 1is credited with having won that suit for the government, to a great de- gree repeated his argument of yesterday afternoon, dwelling with more particularity upon the detalis of the, law as he Insisted it should be construed by the court. Again and again the Pittsburg lawyer empha- sized his first legal proposition, that it From every point of view these Corsets—the stand- e ard of Corset Fash- ion—the foundation of a perfect fitting ‘gown. Hips, as far as practical, are flattened to produce the the type of fig- “ure required for current fash - ions.

In the Redfern are models with very long skirts, The extra length in the skirt is unboned and soft, but designed to take care of the flesn, distributing it in .the corset.

Not Liable Under Common Law. Mr. Watson also took lssue with Prose- cutor Kellogg's oft-repeated contention that the men forming the Standard were liable and gullty as alleged under the federal common law. “There is today and never was a crime possible under the fed- eral common law,” declared Mr. Watson. “Nor is there in all this 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, 1906, and what, I contend, is the only proposition before this | honorable court for review.” Moritz Rosenthal, the Standard’s $1,000 a day legal advisor, and who has taken the greater portion of the 9,000,000 words of | evidence in the present case, has recoyered from his temporary indikposition and was carly about his hotel. Mr. Rosenthal will take up the argument of the defense fol- lowing Lawyer Watson. Many expected that the noted Chicago lawyer, who se- cured the reversal of the government's $0,000000 case, would discuss, lke Mr. Watson, the law in the case. When asked this morning to which portion of the sult he would addvess himself, Mr. Rosenthal replied that he would discuss facts. “It's facts—facts,” said he, *that lawsuits.” Rosenthal on Rebates. The portion of the evidence to which the Chicagoan will confine himselt will be & resume of the alleged railway rate dis- criminations, a subject with which he is probably as famillar as any attorney In the country. It Is a contention of Mr. Rosen- thal that the Standard never enjoyed any especial favoritism in the matter of rail- way rates from Whiting, Ind., where ihe Standard's great refinery is located, that any other shipper could not have secured for the mere asking. Attorney Kellog for the government, included In his side of the case several hundred thousand words taken from the record of the Chicago case, which he 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 1s to phase of the government's |claime that Mr. Rosenthal will devote the | greater portion of his time. | Contention of Mr, Watso | Lawyer Watson represented the govern- ment In the “Northern Securities” case, not win Special Value Two and Three-Piece Suits for Women and Misses New spring model, of wor- sted ~ serge; semi-fitted ¢ three-quarter coat, superior tailored, chiffon silk lining; new gored flare skirt; in black, navy and all the new spring colors.
