Kellogg Attacks Standard Oil in Supreme Court Plea
In Washington on January 14, Frank B. Kellogg urged the Supreme Court to dissolve the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey as a violation of the Sherman Act. He outlined the government’s case, tracing the company’s 1899 reorganization to illegal holding structures and arguing that independents survive only under law. Kellogg questioned profits and how funds, including $23,000,000 in earnings from a pipeline, were handled, and warned that removing prosecutions would push independents out of business. Also reported, Mrs. George Messer of Schenectady confessed to police in Albany to murdering her four-year-old son, collapsing after the admission.
