Gives a Few Reasons
For Having Dismissed the
Trust Cases.
No Evidence to Sustain
the Charges,
Made by the State Against the
Trusts.
Especial Correspondence

Columbus, o., Jan. S.--Attorney Cen
eral Sheets, in his report for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1900, filed with Gov
ernor Nash on Monday evening, ex-
plains at length his recent action in
dismissing, with the consent of the
Supreme court, the so.called trust
cases.
With reference to the quo warranto
proceedings brought by former Attor-
ney General Monnott against the
Standard Oil company, the Buckeye
Ppie Line company, The Solar Rein.
ing company and the Ohio Oil com
pany, Judge Sheets says that, after
reading the testimony, he became con
vinced that no evidence TO sustain the
charges had been brought forward and
that he concluded to ask their dismiss
al for this reason. He says:
'Trhe record in these four cases
consists of 75i pages of printed testi.
mony. | read ,nis testimony with n
view TO the preparation Of an argu-
ment In these cases. Upon its conclu-
sion, ] was confronted with the fact
that there was no evidence to sus-
taine the charges In the petition, and
there was but one of two things left
for me to do: Either to be frank
with the court admit the failure Of oT.
dence and dismiss the cases, or TO
make pretense of the confidence which
! did not have. submit them to the
court and thus throw upon the court
the responsibility that belonged to
me. | chose the former, and with
the consent OF the court, dismissed the
cases.
Judge Sheets goes more into the
history of the case of the State VS..
The Cleveland and Sandusky Brewing
company, the first of the eases to
which his attention was directed. His
reasons for requesting It's dismissal
were practically identical with those
which brought about the dismissal of
the four cases to which reference has

he says. The case proceeded under
this arrangement for nearly a wear,
when Mr. Monnett began to take an
active part in the prosecution.

OBJECT TO TENDERS IN USE.
Petition Presented to COmmissiOner s
Asking for q Change.


A petition signed by Mr.. Frank B. Met
zerott and a number of other citizens and
business firms of the District was recently
presented to Senator Mcmillan, chairman
of the Senate District committee, praying
that the street car tenders used in the
District be abolished, and that such tenders
or Hfe-saving devices be substituted for
them as will actually do what the law re-
quires. save the lives and limbs of the
people"
..In making this petition" explained the
petitioners. I'VE believe that such a supe-
rior live-saving device in now In the mar
ket, and that 1t will actually do what Is
required of it. Further we wish to state that
the present tenders, after being several years
in use on the cars. have had a fair and
just trial, and that we find by their action
that they do not save life and limb. but
destroy what they touch. We respectfully
refer to the record Of these tenders, which
win prove our assertions
With the petition was transmitted state
ment showing that during the past three
years three persons have been killed by
street cars here, which number, 1t was also
stated. does not include all those killed or
injured in the city by street cars during
this period. Senator Mcmillan has referred
the petition to the District Commissioners
for statement relative to the matter

REMOVAL OF DISSENSIONS.
Union of Bakers and COnfectiOners
Emphasized at Social Function.


The members of Bakers and Connection
ers' Union, No. lis, and q number of guests
enjoyed a social entertainment given by
the organization Saturday evening at Ty-
pogra phical Temple. The program included
music by Grosskurths Orchestra, songs by
Henry Wesbury and Harry Jeffries; comic
German rectations by Otto Harring, and
short addresses by John H. Brinkman Of
Carriage and Wagon Builders Union, No.
/; John Swift of the Minnesota State Fed
Grafton, and Sam. D. Nedrey, organizer for
the International Typographical Union. A
letter was read from President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation Of
Labor regarding his inability to be present
The entertainment was under the dfrec-
ton of the officers of the union, who are:
President. John Weber; vice president
Henry Folmer: recording secretary, Frank
Link financial secretary, Fritz Schulz; gen
eral secretary. j. j. Schmidt; treasurer,
Otto Seebode.
The occasion was of special interest from
the fact that recently the members of Ba-
kers Assembly 1889, Knights of Labor, dis
banded that organization and became at
tached to Bakers and COnfectioners' Union,
No. 11s. The result of this consolidation
has been the unoniZing of every prominent
bakery in the city, and the removal of dis
sensions incidental to dual organization.
which. it is said, has for years seriously
retarded the interests of the local bakers.
The unfficaton Of the two organizations
was matter of general congratulation and
pleasing feature of the entertain
ment.

MfnOs."
A cultured and apprecia tive audience
greeted Prof: Louis Dyer Of oxford. Eng
- = rfs4.lecture last night at the an
nuaI celebration of the Columbian Classical
x secretly organized among graduate
and advanced students of the classics in
the Columbian University for the study of
Greek and Roman life and art. Prof. Dy-
ers theme was "Old knossos and the Lab
yrinth of Minos.'' and he gave in a happy
manner much yet unpublished tnforma-
ton regarding the remarkable find last
summer on Cretan soil by Mr.. Arthur Ey
ans and Mr.. d. E. HOgarth. The lecture
was profusely illustrated with lantern slides.
After being introduced by President
Greene Prof. Dyer spoke In part. as fol-
lows:
1.-THE first point to bear in mind about
Crete and Knossos is primarily a geo
graphical one, since the leadership in the
Amorgan era and the great maritime en-
pre in the MyCenaean age were due en-
tirely to the advantageous position of Crete
Thus, when commerce and enterprise were
fairly under way, Crete found itself nearer
to Cyprus and Troy and also nearer to the
Delta of the Nile than any other Greek or
Aegean land. Crete, then, could be taken
as middle point between Europe, Africa
and Asia, and it was made possible for the
diffusion Of Egyptian germs to be transmit
ted through Crete into northern Europe.
note that the first historical datum in the
history of the west and the Mediterranean
is the tale of the Cretan king, Minos, and
of his sea empire, by which piracy was
kept in check and the expansion of peace
full commerce fOstered.
Everyone associates with Knossos the
old legend Of the labyrinth and its Mino-
taur. The atrocities of this legend, how
ever, We're recognized in Plutarch's day as
inventions, due chiefly to Athenian patrio-
tism, which gIorifled Theseus at the ex-
pense of Minos Nevertheless, Minos is in
reality the sole and genuine embodiment
Of the political greatness achieved in My
cenaean days, just as Daedalus the archi-
tect of Minos, impersonates the marvellous
skill In handicrafts and arts that marked
the days when Minos ruled the sea. Both
Of them are strangely metamorphosed by
many whimsical legends which bear more
or less on Knossian history. 1t Is important
to note, however, that the discoveries lust
made at Knossos indicate the palace of
Knossos to have been of earlier date than
the strongholds at Tiryns and Mycenae as
Homer intImates. This might be explained
by noting that Crete was at the center
while Mycenae and T1ryns were more near
ly on the outskirts of Mycenaean civiiza-
ton, and that Knossos was further back
in point of time than either of the other
places. There is ample proof at hand to
justify this. all possible comparisons
show the more practiced and metropolitan
skill in Crete and at Knossos"
