MILLIONS INVOLVED.
TO Rival Standard by Consolidation Of
Many Concerns.

The biggest oil deal ever consum-
mated in the Trenton Dock fields. of
Ohio and Indiana. larger than any ne
gotiations the Standard Oil Company
ever made at one time, is about CON-
pleted. Oil properties involving be-
tween s6,000,000 and s7000,000 are
about to be transferred. There are
thousands of barrels production, thous-
ands of acres of leases and hundreds
of wells in many different counties
Moreover. the transfer includes pipe
lines and refineries, tank cars; in fact,
all the equipment required to trans
fer the fluid from the hole in the
ground to the consumer Though 1t Is
not claimed to be an organization to
fight the Standard, 1t will certainly be-
come an active competitor. The nego-
tiations have been conducted by Will
liam L. and Charles T.. Russell in be-
half of strong French syndicate. and
the properties involve wells through
out Ohio and Indiana. Last year the
net oil runs from the properties now
merged made s1,000000 for their half
hundred owners. The transaction is
enough to send shipments far ahead Of
runs of the Standards pipe lines"

DR.. Charles s. Harie, now held In ar
rest at El Paso, Tex. as accessory to
a murder committed In Chihuahua,

Meredith and DR.. Harie conspired to
murder man to collect the insurance
on his life. the policy for which had
been issued by Richardson and made
payable to Meredith. The victim was
slowly poisoned to death and the doc
tor certified that he died from nat
ural causes. The doctors defense Is
that he did not administer the drug.
Richardson and Meredith. also arrest
ed in Texas. were discharged by the
court on the ground of insufficient evil
dence, but the Mexican government
has sworn out new charges and they
will be arrested again and held for
