INSURANCE CASE DECIDED.
Policy Holders Liable for Assessments In
Certain Wisconsin Gases.

Madison, Wis, May 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday reversed the decision
of the Dodge county court in the cases
of John l.. Fulton, assignee of the Wis
consin Odd Fellow Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, against Fl Fisher and
eleven others. Fulton, az assignee of
the company, brought suit against the
defendants to compel payments of as
sessments after the company had made
an assignment. These payments are
being strongly contested by hundreds
of policy holders all over the state.
The Dodge county cases were first
tried before a justice of the peace, who
gave judgment for the plaintiffs. An
appeal was taken to the county court
of Dodge county, where the judgments
were reversed on the ground that the
justice had committed technical errors
in several adjournments, in signing
dockets, etc. The supreme court holds
that the judgments by the justice were
valid and binding and that the county
court was in error in reversing them.

MoNNETT TALKS OF TRUSTS.
Gives His Opinion of the Standard Oil and
Its Methods.

Washington, May I7.-Attorney Cen
eral Monnett, of Ohio, who has been
fighting the Standard OIL company for
a long time, was before the Industrial
commission yesterday and said that
control of transportation was the COM
pany's best card The company had its
''buZzardS' everywhere. These were ap-
pointed to follow the wagons of rivals
and secure data upon which the COM
pany could operate. When rivals were
driven out of a field by reducing rates
the prices Immediately went up. He un-
derstood that the Standard company
controlled from sc to 81 per cent. of the
crude oil product. but as the company
controlled the means of transportation
it was not necessary that II should take
the oil out of the rock. The company
was thus independent of well owners.
He did not agree with the statement
that the Standard company was en-
titled to credit for the reduction of the
prices of oil. believing this reduction to
be due entirely TO other agencies. Re
ferring to the necessity of controlling
the transportation agencies as the
available remedy for the evils of which
he complained Monnett said that no
course could be too severe, il nothing
less would produce the desired result
