TRUSTS AT WAR
The Standard Oil Company Sued by
Rival

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. = Papers were
filed today in the United States Circuit
Court in a suit brought by the United
States Pipe Line against the Standard

Conspiracy Is charged and damages
amounting to $65S.44 with interest and
$4,000 as attorneys fees, are asked for.
The pipe line alleges that the con-
spiracy has been in existence since jan
uary, 1882, and prevents any persons or
corporations other than the defendants
from storing and transporting oil and
conducting operations incidental to the
oil business. This has been done, 1t
is alleged, by suits and injunctions and
the publication Of defamatory state-
ments regarding the United States Pipe
Line Company, rejecting upon its man
agement and financial responsibility,
employees of the company to betray their
trust
The defendants in the case enter
general denial and state that the pipe
line was not organized for the storing
and transportation Of oil as O common
carrier.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-It is denied at

a special examiner sent on from Wash

In the early part of last week an exam

and two men for swindling the govern

continued to draw her pension. The mat

informed the Washington office and the
woman and two men who indorsed her

LEo'S ENCYCLICAL
The Pope Gives AdFice on the Mani
toha Schools

ROME, Dec. 24.-The pope's encyclical
on the Manitoba school question is pub
lished here this evening. After recalling
the religious history of Canada and
eulogizing its scholastic institutions, his
holiness expresses regret at the decisions
taken seven years ago in Manitoba rela-
tive to the Catholic schools, and points
out the rights of Catholics, according to
the federal agreement. The pope con-
demns a school system based on re-
ligious neutrality, praises the zeal the
bishops have displayed on the question,
regrets that the Catholics are not equally
united, owing to the political passions,
and admits that the authorities have
done something to diminish the incon-
veniences of Manitoba school legislation.
But his holiness declares this to be in
adequate, and exhorts Catholics to per-
sist in claiming all their rights, though
they must not refuse any partial repa-
rations obtainable. with the view to re-
duce the perils of the education Of the
youth.
The encyclical says that in the event of
these being unobtainable, Catholics
should provide their own schools and
adopt, under the guidance of their bish-
ops, program Of study consistent with
their religion and all literary and scien-
tific progress.
