commenting upon the significant vote in the
House yesterday on the motion to suspend the
rules and pass Mr.. Townshend's bill. placing on
the free list printing paper and all materials
used In the manufacture of paper, the New
York Times notes the fact that there were only
16 republicans In the majority in favor of the
Dill, and but IS democrats In the minority
against it. The Times remarks that the course
OF the republican leaders In Congress in identi-
Tying their party with the maintenance of all
tar1n duties, however unproductive and OdlOuS
Is defenslble neither on grounds of statesman
snip nor considerations of eXpediency. 1t adds
that the question of readjuSting the tariff may
enter more largely into the political issues OF
the TALL campaign than Twill be pleasant or
profitable for republican representatives who
approve this kind OF leadership The re3ubli-
cans In Congress may find it worth their while
TO pay little attention TO the advice of a re-
publican paper of the standing of the Times.
The Ice dealers OF New York let their greed
carry them so far In the matter OF increasing
the price OF ice for the coming summer that they
are likely to he heavy losers instead OF gamers
by the operation. \ number of the large con-
sumers in that city, such as brewers hotel
keepers, butchers, ice-cream makers, etc. have
made arrangements for putting in their severa,
establishments ice-manufacturng machines by

nifty tons per day. at a cost Of from $3.50 to 500
per ton, whereas the dealers proposed TO charge
one cent per pound as their whole ale price 1t
turns out. too, on a close invest igation of the
facts. which was prompted entirely by the
extOrtionate rates proposed TO be charged. that
beyond the difference between the cost of carry
Ing ice down the Hudson and bringing it from
Maine there exists no real ground for any in-
crease at all. or at least for anything more than
very slight advance. The supply In Maine Is
ample. accessible and cheap In fact, It Is still
being gathered even at this late day In the
northern parts OF New England and New York,
and on the grounds where collected prices are
very little II any higher than those OF former
years IL follows. therefore, that consumers
living in those places which have always drawn
their supply from that source ought to have
their Ice this year at about the same rates they

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Big OIL Case in Cleveland De-
clded Against tho Standard Oil Conn
pAny.
*p<eta. D4spateh to The Chicago 7+loune.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 1S.-A suit of con-
siderable magnitude, being known as the
big oil case, was decided this morning BY
Judge Barber in the Common Pleas Court
The plaintiff was the Standard Oil Company
and the defendants we're the firm Of Scotield,
Shurmer s. Teagle, who are also engaged in
the oil-refning business The action was
brought for temporary injunction against
the defendants to compel them to comply
with the terms OF an alleged contract. The
plaintiff, in its petition, sets forth that July
20, 1915, the defendants entered into a con-
tract by which they agreed not to refine
more than s., GOO barrels OF oil annually,
bein: guaranteed by the Standard Oil
Company therefor net profit Of $4,000 pct
year. Plaintiff claimed that this contract had
been grossly violated by the defendants, who
refined oil largely in excess Of the number OF
barrels specified. The hearing Of the case
has been in progress for several weeks: such
Judge Ramsey, and Judge Tyler being en-
gagged in it. Judge Barber's decision is in
favor of the defendants, and was s1lbstan-
TALLY that the Standard Oil Company
as corporation has no right. to
snsr as into 1 Pa1tns5ss2 }c4 xth ub6 n5vd
was created, and that it had no right
to make the contract in question, in that such
proceeding was in violation OF the laws Of
trade and against public policy, BY arresting
competitio;n ' and thereby maintaining @ an ui.-
feet monopoly would be the result If such
injunction were allowed, wherefore tho
Court 0feTruled the motion.

This road is OF vital importance to us as q

whereby to secure the passage Of the neces.
sary legislation. 4 powerful antagonist to
this measure is now in the field In the per.
son Of Jaw Gould, who will do any thing and
everything TO defeat the passage Of the bill
now before Congress. At the recent meet
ing Of the owners Of the VI. X. & T. X. H..
Jay Gould came TO the front As principal
owner. and put up twenty-five million dol
lars for the purpose Of building railroxd
from Fort Smith west through the Territory
up the washita valley. which right they pos
sess. This will, il built, divert the travel
from the south over that line, to connee-
ton with the Southern Pacific. southwest OF
here, aud take il away from Us to some ex-
tent, il We accomplish all we hope for. But
having monopoly of this business, IL our
bill fails. they viii leave nothing undone to
secure its defeat. Our people and newspa-
pers should stand shoulder TO shoulder and
demand of our congressman and senators
that they DO not fail ia this matter Win-

Of the tribune this evening had converse.

who there learned something which may be
Of interest to the people who are seeking to
find out who is responsible for the forgery
These gentlemen were sitting in their hote
on Friday evening. the 18th OF October, when
Gen. W. W. Averill, with whom they were
acquainted. came in and entered into con-
versation with one Of them. Gen. Averil
said Is nearly as can be remembered:

General Averil was very emphatic. The

ion, and the two. who are Republicans.
thought nothing further Of the matter until
about a week later. at which time they were
in Boston. There they saw the Morey letter,
and both recognized it at once rs the ''big
thing to which General Averill referred.
The correspondent is not at liberty to make
public the names of the two gentlemen, but
they are at the service Of the officers OF the
law should General Averill fail to remember
the conversation and the mystery TO which
he alluded.
