So spoke Col. Allan I. Brinsmade,

to the Supreme Court asking that Col.
Brinsmade be removed as special COM
missioner in the fight against the
Standard Oil Company, being waged
by the Attorney General of Ohio.
The master commissioner was not
only indignant; he was thoroughly
! mad. He characterized all the state
ments of the Attorney General in ask
ing for his removed as absolutely false.
Every statement was false the commits
sioner declared. There was not the
slightest doubt in his mind, he said.

A GREAT BATTLE
Fought Between Chinese Government

Fought Between Chinese Government
Troops and Rebels,
Shanghai, December 31.-The Chun
King correspondent of the North China
Daily News telegraphs under date OF
December 80 that a great battle has
taken place at Sahchiaotsang. The en-
gagement is said TO have taken place on
December q and imperial troops are
reported 10 have been victorious.
Sahchiaot cannot be located on the
maps, but Chun King, from whence the
news comes, is situated in the Szechuan
province, part of which has been in a
state of rebellion for long time past
and which is overran with marauders.
The latest advices irom there said 5000
rebels were marching on Chun King
and that 300 impeFial Chinese troops
had gone to meetfthem. It was also
said that the militia is being mobolized.

Gen. Brooke's peremptory refusal to
allow Gen. Gomez to take part in the GER
emonies of evacuation at Havana does
not indicate that he is the man to secure
the best results from the situation. Nor
is there anything in Gen. Brooke's past
record to indicate it. Certainly his bluff
outgivings at the beginning of the war dc
not go to show that he is man of tact
or discretion.

Special to the Register.
Steubenvllle, u, december 31.-Col.
ID. b. Anderson, who has been travel
ing salesman for the Great Western
Sewer Pipe works at Toronto, has re-
signed to go to Chattanooga, Tenn, to
act as manager for the Montague &
Co.'s Sewer Pipe works there.
Thomas Nevins, a machinist of So
years experience, has been appointed
temporary foreman of the Means Foun-
dry and Machine Co. works in place of
Edward Worstel. who died last week.
Mr.. Worstel had been foreman here
and at the Shelter works at New Cum
berland for nine years and was hust-
ling, popular and experienced man.
Ten of the sewer pipe manufacturers
of this valley met here Wednesday to
talk over plans for an organization.
Nothing of any consequence was ac-
complished. 1t appears to one who
looks on, with some knowledge of the
facts, that the question of sewer pipe
combine which will life the business
out OF its present demoralized condi-
ton to many, is forlorn hope. Some
three or four of the big manufacturers
cannot be gotten in now. They have
their plants fitted Up with up-todate
machinery and even at present prices
they can make margin of profit while
they see their neighbors who ere not
so well fitted up running at a loss. 1t
seems to be selfish standpoint, but u
is the natural guiding spirit the world
over. Several plants have changed
temporarily to brick and are turning
out large quantities. Until the big
concerns can be gotten into the spirit
of the general need for a combine, the
sewer pipe business will continue as it
has been.
The Steubenville pottery has gone
into the combine. The foreman of each
department are taking stock this week
and in a few weeks representatives Of
the trust will be here to examine the
stock statements.
Dewitt Erskine, assignee of the Min
or Fire Clay Co., has filed petition to
sell the fire brick and sewer pipe works

the committee ceased It's investigation. The COM
