DICTATOR IN PERIL OF WAR States Will Adopt Extreme Measures to Obtain Reparation from Government of Nicaragua for Execution of Cannon and Groce. Washington.--The execution of the two American citizens, LeRoy Cannon «nd Leonard Groce, by orders of Pres­ ident Zelaya, will cause the United States to adopt drastic measures to Obtain reparation from the Nicaraguan government President Taft on his return to Washington Sunday approved Secre­ tary Knox's recommendation"' that President Zelaya of the central Amer­ ican republic be called upon to give immediate satisfaction for the out­ rage. The demand will be couched in stern language, and will require a for­ mal apology, a salute to the American flag, aiid perhaps the payment with­ out delay of an indemnity for the benefit of the heirs of the deceased. Failure to make instant compliance will cause the government to consider the observance of one of the three fol­ lowing plans: 1. Recognition of the belligerency of the insurgents, now operating in and controlling the eastern half of Nicaragua. 2. Seizure of the custom house at Corinto, the single port of Nicaragua, •which is held by the government. 3. Declaration of war. It is possible the first two measures may be taken simultaneously. An official dispatch received from the American vice-consul at Managua Saturday announced that President Zelaya admitted he had directed the shooting of Cannon and Groce after a court-martial, and that he did so over the protest of the commander-in-chief of the Nicaraguan army and the min­ ister general of the republic. , AJI ENTHUSIASTIC QEIXOAJfc Eating for Strength. STAB PEACEMAKER TO DEATH Police Battle with Mob Bent on Doing Harm to Hie Young Slayer. Chicago.--Andrew Heil, 27 years old, 1810 South Wood street, lies dead •because he attempted Sunday to be a peacemaker and defended an aged man from attack by a younger man. In his efforts to save the old man from a beating he was himself stabbed through the heart by Charles Benfleld, 28 years old, who was arrested. While he was being rushed to the patrol wagon, he narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of an angry mob of fishermen. The scene of the tragedy was on the lake pier at the foot of Sixteenth street, in the midst of a long line of fishermen. Benfleld had arrived early, and was getting his lines ready, -when he called upon George Krapp, who lives in a hut near the pier to per­ form an nrrand for him. Krapp is an old man and was not yet dressed. "Benfleld was in a hurry and because Krapp was slow in getting on his shoes he kicked him in the back. Hearing the aged man's cries a crowd of fishermen gathered around in pro­ test. Hell, however, was one of the •first to offer- active interference. After ordering Benfleld to desist he attempted to step between Benfleld and Krap. As he did so Benfleld •drew a long hunting knife and, with­ out warning, witnesses say, plunged it into the peacemaker's heart. St. Paul.--The government wen ft sweeping victory over the Standard Oil corporation Saturday. In an opinion written by Judge Walter H. Sanborn of St. Paul and concurred in by Judgea Vande venter. Hook and Adams, with a special concurring opin­ ion "by Judge Hook, the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri handed down an opinion declaring the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey an illegal combination, operating in restraint of trade, and or­ dered its dissolution. The opinion of the court and the or­ der of dissolution were filed simultane­ ously in St. Paul and St. Louis. The decree takes effect 30 days from the date of its filing, unless suspended by an appeal to the supreme court. At that time an injunction will be is­ sued restraining the Standard Oil Company from a further continuance of its business under its present for­ mation. Thirty-three of the aeventy-odd con­ cerns in the Standard corporation are excepted from the order of dissolution and the bill is dismissed as against them. It appears from the concurring opin­ ion written by Judge Hook that the company cannot do business under any form with the object of stifling competition, for he says that with the end of the combination the monopoly will naturally disappear, but should It not do so, and the members of the combination retire from it, except one who might perpetuate the monopoly by the aggregation of the physical properties and instrumentalities, it would constitute a violation of the de­ cree of the court. The Standard Oil Company pre­ sented a formidable array of* legal tal­ ent led by John G. Milbura of New York. The defense waB that the pres* I ent organization of the Standard Oil ! corporation was the result of the nat­ ural growth of a great industry and that no statute had been violated. The gist of the decision of the court lies in the syllabus, which declares that the test of the legality of corpo­ rations under the anti-trust act is to be found in the necessary effect the combination or corporation has upon competition In commerce among the states and with other nations. This is, the court believes, a simple test to apply and one which is easy of appli­ cation. In judging the legality of a corporation or combination in the fu­ ture, the courts will, if the decision be followed, ascertain whether or not the restraint of trade, if there be any, is incidental or necessary. That is to say, that if by a combination of capi­ tal and effort made solely with a view to legitimately increasing the business of a corporation there be a resultant restraint of trade which is purely inci­ dental, then such corporation is not within the purview of the anti-trust act. If, on the other hand, a combina­ tion or corporation chances to be such that, by the very nature of its organi­ zation and its methods it results in re­ straint of trade, then it is illegal and should be discontinued. DR. CLEMINSON IS GUILTY APPROVES OF RACE SUICIDE Jury Quickly Reaches Verdict--Pris­ oner Sentenced to Life Imprison­ ment Wife Murder. Chicago.--Dr. Haldane Cleminson -was found guilty Saturday night of the murder of his wife, Nora Jane Cleminson, by a jury in Judge Mc- •Surely's court, and his punishment •was fixed at imprisonment for life.
