THE OIL INDUSTRY
Testimony of Mr.. Rice Before the
Industrial Commission.
HIS PAMPHLET UNAUTHORIZED
Charges the STANDARD With Trying
to Ruin Him.
MARKETS SHUT TO HIM

Mr.. George Rice of Marietta, Ohio. went
| on the stand before the industrial commits
sion today and testified on the subject OF
the oil Industry He testified In opposition
to the Standard oil Company.
The industrial commission held meeting
at 10 o'clock and adopted the following
declaration:
For the reason that Mr.. George Rice
witness to come before the commission this
day, has printed. published and copyrighted
certain testimony in pamphlet form.
thereby leaving the impression that said
testimony had been sworn to and author
lied; therefore, be it
Resolved. That we refuse to receive said
testimony published. and that Mr.. Rice
proceed, after being sworn, to give his tes-
timony under the rules established by this
commission"
l. His Pamphlet Not Authorized.
AS Mr.. Rice took his seat and before he
had begun his testimony, Mr.. Clark said
Have you prepared and printed, copy
righted and published a pamphlet, which
appeared to be testimony given or to be
given by you before this commission
Mr.. Rice-''I have"
Mr.. Clark-"Were you under oath when
1t was prepared?'
Mr.. Rice-"No."
In reply to questions the witness said he
had not been asked or given any questions
by any one connected with the commits
sion as q basis for his pamphlet. He said
he did not claim any right to issue that
pamphlet in any sense authorized by
the commission. He had merely published
the pamI hlet on his own responsibility.
With this understanding Mr.. Rice pro-
ceeded to read from his pamphlet, emitting
statements as previously agreed upon,
which were personal in nature and reflected
on various government officials. He said
he had been producer of petroleum for
over thirty years. He gave number of
figures showing the magnitude of the oil
business and the proportion of it done by
the Standard Oil Company.

A RURAL RETIREMENT.

interest in that good road pioneer and

SAYS:
The New York Legislature has passed
an Act which the Governor has APP
proved providing for the building of
sidepaths for bicyclists throughout tho
State, and for the appointment of Coua-
ty Commissioners to have control over
them. The bill has been urged by the
L. A. W., and is expected 20 prove a
great advantage to wheelmen and tne
public.
In this county a beginning has baen
made of building bicycle paths in one or
two places.
But the question has been raised
whether under our present laws the SUI
peryisors have the legal authority 10
expend the public money on such paths.
So far as we are informed the law is
silent ON the subject and the authority
has been assumed from the general
powers of the Supervisors Lest any
taxpayer should raise an awkward
question it might be we'll to obtain
ample assurance on this point before
carrying the building of such paths any
further and If necessary have a law
passed giving authority to the Super
visors.
As other of our contemporaries have
expressed the same doubt and treated

Post norton battles are easily fought
by newspaper generals safely ensconsed

war of the rebellion such order of fight

were not undeniable triumphs escaped
such criticism, and few wele the lead
ers who We're not advised after the
battle as to how they should have man

of the fight near Apia are TOO meager
as yet to justify any criticism of the
methods employed by the American
