STANDARD Oil Co. VIII Con-

Attorney for Corporation
Appears Before States
Legal Adviser
Madison. Sept. 80.

Madison, Sept. 80.
The Standard Oil Co. has decided to
contest the charging of state inspec-
ton fees upon the fuel handled by it..
Alfred D. Eddy of Chicago general
council of the gigantic oil trust, was
given a hearing before Attorney Gen
eral E. R. Hicks at the capitol yester-
day on the subject, but the attorney
for the state took no action nor did
he intimate what, in his opinion, the
laws of the state of Wisconsin pro-
vided on the question raised.
The trust seeks to establish an alb
sOIute difference between the oil which
it handles for purposes of fuel and
that which is intended to be consumed
for purposes of illumination. Attor-
ney Eddy stated the position of the
company and said that there would be
no opposition to any attempt on the
part Of the state to levy and collect a
tax or fee for the inspectiOnOf any of
the fuel oil handled by it in this state.
He said it was clear that fuel oil did
not come under the inspection law.
ne uldtCCI w DIS LChSu uuuS4 duF10S-
ment. The Representatives of the
trust will place further information in
the hands of the states attorney and
he will ultimately render an opinion on
the question. Attorney Eddy was &C.
cOmpanied by an assistant council and
an oil expert. Heis making tour of
the states of the northwest which
have laws providing for the inspection
of ellis and the collection of fee
therefor. On this tour he is seeking
to establish that the oil intended for
burning as fuel should not be subject
ed to the tax. He said in the hearing
yesterday that the inspection fee if
collected on fuel oil, would make a
difference in the price of the article
that it would be the equivalent Of an
increase of some 40 cents in an
amount of oil equal as fuel to one ton
Of soft coal.

THE gas companies of this city are
probably aware OF the fact that the
fuel for glass and other factories in
the Indiana gas belt is almost exhaust
ed. Being thus apprlsed, 1t is not out
of order for this paper to suggest that
these companies put forth ar extra
effort to get those factories to locate
here. That would mean a market for
the product of the gas compalies and
would augment the Industrial activity
of this section. II we would have
more of these Industries, it Is high
time we are up and doing. Get to-
gether. gentlemen, and bring more
factories to C;arksburg. Increase the
weekly and monthly pay-rolis and bus
iness will increase too. The first of

every interest and may our Industrial

stronger than in any twelve months Of

but its mere establishment does not
complete the work or filthe necessity.
Constant Improvements should be
made. Among these is an alarm sys.

be a necessity, since the department
is not as large as is required to fight a
big fire successfully. II 10 found neces-
sary to have volunteer tiremen and
these must come from the citizens. But
II they are not apprIsed of the fact
that there is a FIRE, they ara not upon

can not be volunteers. There are many
things In connection with the depart

duction.

A pastoral, natural drama, favored
with the brctzy local color of Tennes-
see life, Describes "a Romance of
Coon Hollow" which has been one Of
the;substantial trlumphs of the last
eight seasons. This success is due t.
the magnificent scenic effects, among
which are a realistic steamboat race
between R. E. Lee and Natchez, and a
cotton press in actual operation. But
the play meets favor on worthier
grounds. 1t is splendidly constructed,
the characters are flesh and blood be-
ing the plot is dramatic and interest
Ing, and the bumor genuinely funny.
The electrical effects, showing a night
in a southern country place, are novel
and prutty. A "red hot" troupe OF
darkey male and female plantation
dancers, aud an excellent vocal quar-
tette, add volume to the entertain
ment. "Coon Hollow" will be seen at
