IRWIN TIsIAL.

Tho Defense Haro Witnesses on tho Stand
to Prove tho Dividends Wore Possible.
PITTsBURdH. Feb. l3.-The defense in
tho trial OF Gcqrce NJ. Irwin. the dis.
cretionary pool'opsrator. pu. forward
several depositors who had drawn out
more money than they had invested.
W. H. Martin, a well known New
York broker. testified as to the exteu.
sive deals Irwin made In wheat, show
ing ono instance that between $4,000
and $4,000 PROD. wa, made within a
week. Irwin always had balance to
his credit with witness firm, McFerran,
Martin 4 Jackson, and when the firm
dissolved there WAS sl25.00O OF bal.
ance. Wituei. raid it was pos
able for man to make the large
dividends claimed by the mysteries Of
speculation. but never before heard
man hEurs 1t out that way. Daniel
Murphy, q Chicago broker, was on the
stand when the morning session closed.
Nr. Murphy continued his testimony
At the afternoon session. His firm,
Morton & Worthington, had from
fAey w SSAoOCi tlducu lOl lNNl
Ooo bushels. Up to October Let, last,
witness knew Of Irwin being big
gamer and after tina. no began buying
on the other side OF the market and
sustained heavy lo,ses. At the conclu-
sion OF the deal. the Chicago broker
considered that it required great
amount OF .hrowdness on the part OF
Irwin to get out as well as he did. The
dividends declared by Irwin each
month were not considered unusual
by witness. He thought Irwin large
operator. not plunger.
Mr.. Thornton, q Chicago grain broker
with Martin F. Fra,ier & Company,
testified that Irwin sometimes made ten
per cent profit on his days specula-
tions.
As the result of IrEin's kilograms in
October. the witness had sold $4,000
OF oats, just one half OF what he had :.
with witness firm. The sale was at
loss, but there was balance for Irwin.
He did not know what became OF the
money. Tho witness had no doubt the
dividends declared by Irwin could easily
be made, and though. better percent
ages could have been realized.

10 Compete With the Stnndard-A Very
Promising Beginning.
BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. ia largely
attended meeting OF oil producers from
the various oil fields, was held in the
Lyceum Exchange hall tonight. After
the reading Of tho prospectus, Hon.
David Kirk, Of Pittsburgh, addressed
the meeting in ringing speech, in
which he scored tho Standard Oil Com
pany.
1t is now proposed to form a chartered
company to be known as the "Pure Oil
Company, with capital stock OF 81 .000.-
900, to furnish consumers OF petroleum
with product from pure Pennsylvania
oil. 1t is stated that the oil from other
territories than Pennsylvania and it's
adjacent fields is used TO adulterate the
high grade petroleum. The new COM
pany will try to prevent this and also
to procure for the producer the market
price for his oil. Tho actions Of the
Standard in fixing an arbitrary price

changes, had aroused vigorous protests
from the producers, and the Pure Oil
Company hope, eventually to change
the order OF things.
Tho capital stock Of the company is to
be divided into 100000 shares Of $40
each, and tho subscription books arc
open to everybody. The officials state
ment is that to put the company
into immediate operation about ,hir.
ty independent reiincries now con-
nectod with tho independent pipe

direction OF the company and
turn it over ut actual cost for market-
ing. The profits are to be divided
equally between the retiners and the
company. The rafners will transfer to
tho company their means OF disiribu-
tion, including tho present distributing
plants, located in fifty cities, together
with all the tanks and other nppli.

Tho capacity OF the retlncries begin
