Mail by TeleuhOne

There can be no doubt that the most obiiging
postmaster in the State of Missouri lives at
Bethel He recently put a telephone in his Office
and announced that for the benefit of those out
of-town patrons who are connected by wire and
who desired it. he will open their letters and will
read the contents to them over the phone. When
the people merely want to know the contents
Of their mail they will telephone the postmaster,
but when the people want Heurich's beer they
telephone the Arlington Bottlins Co. for a case
Of Maerxen, Senate. or Lager. When you want
beer do not err and call up the posto6ace, but
call up phone six-thirty-fo -four.

RoUT oF THE OIL TRUST.
The Standard Company Gives Up Its
Ohio Charter.

Cleveland. Ohio, June 21.-The Standard
Oil Company is TO abandon Ohio. Soon
after the 1st of July it will cease to be an
Ohio corporation, and Cleveland, which
has been the principal distributing point,
will become only a branch Office.
When the dispatches announced last
week that the Standard Oil Company had
become a New Jersey corporation. with a
capital of s110. 100000. it was said that the
headquarters would be removed TO New
York. but it was not thought that the
company would withdraw from this State
entirely.
For several months Attorney General
Monnett has been making war upon the
Standard Oil Company OF Ohio and the
Buckeye Pipe Line Company, an allied cor
poraticn. Both in this State and in New
York he has endeayOred TO get chance TO
lcok at the books Of the companies to learn
whether they have violated the antitrust
laws OF the State. The companies have re-
sisted every attempt on the part of the
attorney general, and a motion is now
pending before the supreme court TO sum-
mon the officials on contempt proceedings.
The attorney general has also begun
suit to take away the Standards charter.
Whether the vigorous prosecution of the
Standard BY the attorney general led the
company to the step it is about TO take
cannot be said definitely. yet today an off
Ger OF the company, who stands pretty
close TO the president, said that the in
corporation of the company in New Jersey
was the first step in the direction of the
complete abandonment of Ohio by the com
pany.

Frank S Monnett's fight against the
Standard Oil monopoly began two years
ago when he tried to give effect TO the
Judgment and order of the supreme court
made against the trust on March /. 1892
The action was brought by Attorney Cen
eral Wilson.
The proceedings were a quo warranto
suit to oust the trust from a trust agree
ment formed in 1882. BY which it entered
into combination with other companies to
form the Standard Oil Trust. This suit
was filed in the Ohio supreme court May
S. 1880.
There had been no antitrust legislation
then. and the suit rested on equity. the
attorney general claiming that the act OF
the Standard in entering into the trust
agreement violated its charter conditions.
in that combinations of corporations. were
in restraint of trade and contrary to public
policy.
On March /. 1882. the Ohio supreme court
upheld Watson and ousted the trust from
the right to enter into any trust agree
ment.
Watson's term expired, and the decree Of
the court was not enforced under succeed
ing administrations. until in 1897 Cover
nor Bushnell succeeded William Mckinley
as governor and Monnett became attorney
general.
On November 3. 1897. Mr.. Mnnnett filed
a motion in contempt in the supreme court
against the officials of the trust. claiming
that they had ignored the decision This
action was taken after a consultation be-
tween Monnett and George Rice. an oil
operator of Marietta. Ohio. who said his
business had been ruined by the trust
On June Is. 1898. just year and two
DAYS ago. MIR. Monnett made a motion for
the appointment Of a master commissioner
to take evidence.
The Standard asked for the appointment
of Allen T. Brinsmade as commissioner.
and although Monnett was warned that he
was friendly to trusts. he consented to his
appointment. Brinsmade refused to COM
pei John d. Rockefeller to answer ques-
tions pertinent to the enquiry when last
November the hearing was held in this
city.
Then Monnett tried to have Brinsmade
removed but the supreme court would not
rescind its order. A motion to compel the
trust to produce its books was entered by
the court. but attorney Virgil P. Kline
told the court the books woull not be pro-
duced.
Since then Monnett has been pushing his
efforts to have the court adjudge the trust
in contempt. Nothing the trust has been
able to do has swerved him from his pur-
pose.

MR.. ELy'S VAIN SEARCH.
He Could Not Find a Statute and
Lost His Case.

Counsellor Addison Ely. of Rutherford
went on a long and unsuccessful search
this morning for a statute which his lega
opponents, Luther Shaffer and Assembly
man John Bell, claimed did not exist. Mr.
Ely applied to the Chancellor for an or
der to restrain the borough of Ruther-
ford from selling the property of John H
POLLEN for past due taxes and assess
ments. Mr.. Ely set up that POLLEN owee
the borough in 1885 $9,642.es and the Mayor
and Council of Rutherford compromised
for $3.50. 1t was for part of these com
promised taxes, Mr.. Ely said, that the
authorities now proposed to sell Mr.
Pollien's property.
Mr.. Shaffer. in opposition to the mo-
ton, said that the taxes for which the
property was to be sold were not included
in the compromise; that Mr.. POLLEN failed
to keep his part of the compromise con-
tract, inasmuch as he agreed to pay his
taxes regularly thereafter, but has paid
none since, and that the Mayor and Coun-
ell had no authority TO make the compro-
mise. The Chancellor apparently laid
much stress on this latter point, and Mr.,
Ely said that there was a statute which
gave the Mayor and Council authority to
make such compromises, and it was this
statute he searched for and could not find,
The Chancellor denied his motion.

SAID s7a WAS STOLEN.
Mrs. VandereR Told a Long Story
Which Was Not Believed.

Mrs. Vandereff. an old lady residing at
No. 1865 Boulevard, notified the Fifth pre-
cinct police yesterday morning that she
had been robbed of $40. Captain Nugent
and Detective Pairson visited the house
to investigate. Mrs. Vandereff claimed
that the money was wrapped up in a
stocking, which was kept under her pill
low. She said that the robbery occurred
the previous night, and hat although she
had not seen the burglar. she was con-
WINGED that he gained access to the house
through a window. These facts We're
ELECTED after considerable questioning by
Captain Nugent. The old lady cried and
bemoaned her misfortune for a half hour.
Captain Nugent suspected that she was
not telling the truth. and after allowing
her to talk for some time, suddenly said:
Now, you show me where the money
is"
She hesitated for a moment and then,
stopping down, drew forth the money
from a footstool, where it had been con-
eealed. She refused to explain the rea-
son for such singular conduct, and the
police are inclined to believe that she
is insane. Mrs. Vanderaff is a widow,
living entirely alone.

remarks resulted in an after meeting be-
ing held. Some twenty boys and young
men remained to this meeting ard IN

HYDE'S BODY FOUND.
The Writer Had Been Missing
Since April II.


The body of George Merriam Hyde. of
No. 1887 Fifth avenue, New York, was
found floating in the Hudson River, late
Saturday afternoon by the Weehawken
authorities and taken to Parslow's
morgue, Hoboken. Mystery surrounds
the death of Hyde, who was a well known
magazine writer and literary critic. He
was married to Miss Violet Bule a year
ago last January. All accounts say his
domestic life vas a happy one.
On Tuesday. April II, Hyde disappeared
from his home. His father-in-law, Oliver
Prince Bule, had died the previous Tues
day. The two We're warm friends and
the only conjecture the police can make
for the son-in-law's disappearance and
his subsequent fate is that the death OF
Bule preyed upon his mind and becom-
ing demented he strayed from home and
fell into the river, either by accident OF
by crazed design.
Hyde was forty years old. His wife
called at the morgue yesterday and iden-
titled his body. She said her husband
had been working hard of late and that
this. coupled with the fact of her ia
theirs death, had undoubtedly resulted In
deranging his mind.
Orders to remove the body to the Bule
home for burial will be carried out to-
morrow.

When Mrs. Dyar finished giving this
testimony in Recorder Stanton's court this
morning the prisoner scowled at her,
called her out of her name and grew abus-
i've and profane. Harry Dyar, an older
brother, was seated in the court room.
He is a cripple and he carried a heavy
cane to assist him in walking. Rushing
up to his younger brother he began
whacking him over the head with the
stick, and when court officers tried to stop
him he grew threatening.
ANYONE who calls my mother sueh
names as he did deserves to be killed.

scHWEIsHELM CASE POSTPONED
Senator DAILY Asks For Time and
Sessions Court Loses the Day.

Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle had
laid out a full days work for himself and
the General Sessions Court for today and
possibly for a great part of tomorrow, but
the best laid plans of assistant prosecu-
tors sometimes go astray. Annie Schweis-
helm, a Hoboken midwife, was on the list
to be tried for performing an abortion on
Mrs. Mabel Negley, from which the wom-
an died, but Congressman Daily, the de-
PENDANTS counsel asked for a postpone
ment until Wednesday. and it was grant
ed. Mr.. DAILY said he had received notice
of the trial on Friday last and he had
not had time to prepare for it, as he was
engaged in the preparation of cases for
the Supreme Court, which will come Up
in Trenton tomorrow and will require his
presence there.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle said that the State was
ready to proceed with the trial but Judge
Blair decided to grant the postponement.
Owing to the expectation that the trial
would occupy the entire day no other case
had been put on the list. and the Court
was obliged to adjourn.

.olish Laborer Struck By
Trolley On the Next
Track.
NO ONE SAW The ACCIDENT
Stories of Wife and Motto r
man Confict-Death Was
Immediate.

A peculiar accident occurred about nine
avenues. Michael Bouges, a Pole, while
avenues, Michael Bouges, a pole, while
riding on a north bound trolley car, oe-
came i'll, and leaned over the side rail.
He was struck just over the left eye by
a south bound car and he was instantly
killed.
Bouges was a laborer, who resided
with his wife and five children. at No.
AGA Henderson street. His wife and two
children were with him when the acct
dent occurred. His wife said that they
had been visiting friends in Bayenne and
were going home when Bouges was kill
ed.
The statements made to the police by
the wife and the motorman of the car in
which they were riding conflict. Mrs.
Bouges said that she sat next to her
husband who occupied the extreme end
Z of the seat near the rail. She said that
she saw her husband leaning over the
rail. but did not see him killed. She
heard a crash, turned around and saw
her husband lying IN the street.
John Ludwig, the motorman, said that
he first became aware OF the accident by
hearing a number of people shout "stop
the car" He stopped the car at once
and went pack to investigate. He said
he found Bouges lying on the floor of
the car with his feet dangling over the
side. h man was carried to the side
walk.
A priest and physician were summoned,
but they were too late to do him any
good. The body was removed to the
Fifth precinct police station and from
thence to Speer's morgue.
The car which struck Bouges did not
stop. The motorman, John Alexander,
and the conductor, Walter Bush, were
afterward arrested and paroled. They
claim that they know nothing of the
accident. The motorman and conductor
of the car on which Bouges and his fam
lily were riding were also paroled.
While it is evident that Bouges was
killed in the manner described, no one
actually saw the accident occur. There
is a space of at least two feet between
the passing cars, and the dead man must
have been leaning far out when struck.
The Traction Company's officials took
Mrs. Bouges to the Greenville stables and,
through an interpreter, got her version
of the accident. In the meantime Captain
Nugent was endeavoring to find her to
also get a statement. When finally she
was located, he requested the Traction
people to send her TO the police station
in a coach. Instead of doing this, she
was more humanely sent home in a
special car. Captain Nugent was exceed
ingly angry at this, and told the Trac-
ton Company officials plainly, in strong
language, over the telephone what he
thought of their merciful action. Rounds
man Schroeder was despatched to the
home of Mrs. Bouges and after consider
able difficulty he got her statement.
The accident caused a block on the road
for about fifteen minutes A large crowd
gathered in a few moments, all eager to
see the body and find out the cause of
the accident.
Bouges was about forty years old. His
wife is nearly heartbroken. She wept
constantly while making her statement
