Tho tem porary Indisposition of tho Standard's $l,000adny lawyer, Morltz Rosonthnl, Intorfored slightly with tho programo ot tho defense Thursday afternoon, In the presentation of ltd reply to tho government's suit to dissolve thu Standard Oil company of Now Jersey for alleged Sheman act violations, when the caso was resumed before tho four Judges of the United States cir cuit cour of this dlstircL Jokn J. Mil burn, ot New York, the Standard's chlftf counsel, completed his open- arguments, commenced Tuesday afternoon, at noon and Rosenthal was to havo followed with discussion of the facts, as claimed by the defense, leaving John J. Johnson, ot Phllndek phlo and David T. Watson of Pitts murgo to argue tho law points and In terpret the Sherman act from the viewpoint ot the defendants. Mr. Rosenthal's indisposition, al though only a slight attack of mernlgla was of sufficient severity, howover, to keep him from the court room. Tho noted attorney Is up and around his hotel Thursday evening and wlull make his arguments today at the con clusion of Mr. Watson addresses. Not to Be Held for Past Acts. Lawyer Watson represented the government In tho "Northern Securi ties" case and Is credited with having won that suit for life government. In his Interproprotauon of tho decision on that now of.toxt quoted authority in federal law Mr. Watson Insisted that in the present case and that suit two separate and distinct principles of law were involved, and that under no stretch ot the Imagination could they be deemod Indentlcal. The crux o his argument was, that tho defend ants could not he held foV their con duct of years past, aud that the only point the court could consider was whether it was acting In restraint of commerco, engaging in unfair competi tion, or doing any of the many other diverse things alleged on the ICth day of November 190C, the day tho position in the present caso was filed. Touching upon tho history ot the Standard's past, Mr. Watson claimed Mr. Rockefeller and his associates nad tho legal right as citizens to combine aa they did under the 1882 agreement, a rijht denied the "two competing roads, not citizens, in the Northern Securities case. Mr, Watson insisted the contro versy in tho caso waa not what the defendants had done twenty-five or thirty, years ago, but whether they were guilty of attempting to restrict commerce on November, 15, 1906, as charged In the petition filed against them on that date. It mattered not." he said, "whether the defendants had prior to that date, monopolized com merco in the several states, and even if such evidence wB in the caso, a fact which Is denied, It could net as sist the government in this trial under a law brought to control Interstate commerce, and not onacted to pass upon controversies between tho state and the citizen hlmsolf." It could not be contended, was another declaration, that because of the defendants great capitalization, it could be deemed a monopoly. Legally, It mattered not whether a mails profit was 20 per cent or 70 per cent so long as he did not, In earning his profit, close the avenues ot trade against his competitors. There was, likewise, he Bald, no bar to the aqulsltlon ot great wealth under way existing law that he knew of.
