Climax of Melancholia.
New Yoik, N. Y Mar. 17.--Her-ruin

to tile house and then killod himself.
Before ho sent a bullet Into bis own
brain he H it the bouse, saw to It that
a fire alarm was turned In and then
returned to bis home and killed him
self. The firemen were forced to push
his body aside to get the front door
open. The man bad been suffering
from melancholia longer than a year,
and bis condition bad become much
Trorse in the last week. Nothing had
been said by him up to the time of
the shooting.
The family was wealthy and each
of the slain boys would have received
from the estates of thcli mother and
grandfather about $250,000.
The victims were George, 17 years
old, a student in the llordentown
Military Academy, In New Jersey, who
died in his school uniform after he
had been shot three times as he
crouched In a closet in a bedroom, and
Walter, 12 years old, who was chased
by the maniac from the second floor
to the cellar and shot down near a
coalbln behind which be had tried to
screen himself. It was not until the
firemen bad extinguished the blaze
which the eracd man bad kindled
that any one bad any idea Moritz bad
murdered bis two sons. The body of
George fell out of the closet when
they opened the door to see if any
traces of fire could be discovered
there.
Before Moritz did the shooting he
took both hi;! boys out for a long
walk, which they enjoyed exceedingly,
having no idea their father in sending
their stepmother and the servant
away merely was clearing the way for
murdering them and killing himself.
Mrs. Anna Moritz, the wife, who
had gone to F.nglewood, N. J at the
request of her crazed husband, was
informed there of the triple tragedy.
She returned hurriedly to New York,
and is prostrated in the home of
friends in The Bronx. Borough Presi
dent Miller of The Hronx, who was
counsel for Moritz and guardian of
his two boys, took charge of (he
Moritz home.
Moritz retired from the real estate
business four or five years ago, after
having prospered. He owned, among
other properties, the three-story frame
house In which the tragedy took place.

MORGAN PUNS BIG
MOTOR CAR TRUST
Combined Capital cf Companies Men
tioned Is $31,000,000 and Year
ly Output 70,000 Cars.
New York, N. Y., Mar. 17. Wall
street believes that J. P. Morgan is
grooming the automobile manufactur
ing trade preparatory to leading It into
n mammoth corporation that shall ex
ercise in the automobile Held nn tnbu
ence as powerful as that exercised in
the steel trade by his billion dollar
Steel Trust, and as that to be exer
cised In the copper markets (if the
world by his proposed billion dollar
copper merger.
This was Indicated by the announce
ment that J. P. Morgan & Co. bad pur
chased the majority of the stock of
the Kveritt-Metzger -Flanders, or T. M.
V. automobile manufacturing company
of Detroit, for the purpose of com
bining It with the Studebaker com
pany. The combination of these two com
panies, it was pointed out, would, with
the General Motors Company as the
unit for the Middle West and thi
United Motors Company as the unit
for the East, lend Itself readily to any
larger combination that might be con
templated. It is in this way, Wall street re
called, that Mr. Morgan forms all his
great industrial combinations. First
lie forms independent concerns into
units and then amalgamates these
units into one big entity.
it is intimated that within a few
years the automobile manufacturing
business of the country will be as com
pletely monopolized as the Standard
Oil Company is, if not more so.
These units were suggested ns like
ly factors in n combination:
Cieneral Motors Company, control
ling about one dozen automobile manu
facturing concerns, the principal be
ing Rainier. Oldsmobile, Cadillac,
Buick, Oakland and Rapid and Reli
ance trucks; present capita, $00,000,
000. Estimated yearly output, 40,000
cars.
I'nited Motors Company, controlling
Maxwell -Briscoe. Columbia and Brush
present capital, $lf..00l).000.
Fstlmotcd yearly production, 15,000
cars.
Studebaker Company, controlling
the E. M. K., Studebaker and Flanders
ears present combined capital" about
ll.'i.llOO.OOO.
Kstimnted yearly output, 15.000
cars.
Total present capitalization, $91,-

Washington, Mar. 17. -Holding up
the Standard C i 1 Company of New
.Te-rrcy as a danger to the country an 1
its organization a-c a commercial pr"
cedent that must be eradicated from
the business world, Frank M. Kellogg
vigorously arraigned the corporation
be fore the Supreme Court of the l'n'!-
ed States. It was the Government's
turn to be beard in the argument nt
ti e subject of the dissolution of the
"Standard Oil," as decreed by the Cir
cuit Court of the I'nited Slates for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
"They have waved the black Mag
over the land as others have dun-!
over the ocean. Do 1 deny they have
demonstrated their ability? No. They
have competed wi:h an ability un
equalled in this country.
"With its ramifications, its Influ
ence and its money powers, give it
carte blanche, let it combine, as Mr.
Watson suggests, and let it cut price,
as Mr. Milburn speaks about, and I
predict it will control every industry
in this country in ten years yea. in
five years,
"What makes a great country? Not
great corporations, it is the Indivi
dual; the Independent proprietor with
the star of hope that bus always been
held out to man before him. Y'our
Honors, it is but a step from combina
tion to socialism, nnd but another
from anarchy."
With n quiet emphasis, more im
pressive than mere noise or spectacu
lar waving of the hand, Frank II. Kel
logg, special counsel for the Govern
ment, thus suggested reasons to the
Supreme Court of the I'nited States
why the Standard Oil Company should
be dissolved.
Following John G. Milburn. who
concluded his argument for the Stand
ard within a few minutes after court
convened, Mr. Kellogg spoke for near
ly four hours.
"This company has been under
search as no other concern has ever
been." saW Mr. Milburn. In closing
his argument. "The power of the Tim
ed States Government as It exists has
reached right Into the vitals of this
organization.
"We beg of this court, If we are
found to be doing wrong enjoin us
from doing that, but In the name of
Justice do not destroy the organiza
tion which has accomplished such re
sults unless there is nothing else to
do."
