NEBRASKA WAR ON STANDARD OIL



OMAHA. Nsb. Aug. 12.-Attorney General
smythe brought suit in the District Court this
morning to force the Standard OIL Company
from the State OF Nebraska. Tho Attorney
General said:
Tho Standard Oil Company has been pro-
ceeded against first because l happened to
member OF a trust. This proof have been
gathering for some time. There are undoubt-
eddy great many other trusts doing business
In the state. With respect to some. have con-
siderable evidence. but It is a most difficult
thing to procure satisfactory evidence That
which proves the trust is usually in control OF
the members OF the trust. and it is impossible
to get at It,
The state has provided no means by which
to run down this evidence. Whatever have.
have procured at my own expense and through
the assistance OF interested parties. How
ever. the fight Ia on against tho trusts in this
State. and il one ia found doing business here
at the close OF my term OF office. it will not be
my fault. | shall do all In my power to prevent
1t. The citizens OF this State who are opposed to
trusts can aid me greatly in this work by fur
nishing to me such evidence as they may
possess OF the existence OF trusts with the
names ofthe witnesses able to give the evil
dence. Wherever procure sufficient nforma-
ton to warrant mo in proceeding | shall pro-
ceed The public. however. should understand
that it is one thing to believe that there is an
elevator trust. or a coal trust. or a binding
twine trust or trust OF any other kind. and it
is quite another thing to furnish the legal
proof OF these trusts"
The Standard OIL Company Is required to
answer in thirty days
