SUES OIL
TRUST FOR
DAMAGES
Independent Dealer
Alleges Loss OF
Trade.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

TRENTON, n. J., Aug. 19.-Papers
were filed in the United States Circuit
Court this afternoon by Charles E
Hendrickson Jr. of Jersey City, coun-
sci for George Rice. in suit against
the Standard Oil Company for dam
ages estimated at $3.O0O.OOO. John ID.
Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, H.
M. FIagler, Henry H. Rogers and
other officers and directors Of the
Standard Oil Company are named as
defendants.
Rice charges that his business at
Marietta, Ohio, was swept away by the
trust He had 1000 customers for oil
throughout the United States and his
plant represented an investment of
$4,000 900, with profits of $4,000 an
nually-
The Standard Oil Company induced
the railroads to charge him and his
customers prohibitive rates on all goods
shipped, Rice alleges. These excessive
rates, he declares, varied from so per
cent to 333 per cent more than were
reasonable and were far above the
rates charged to the Standard Oil Com
pany and it's customers. Not only were
the freight rates higher. but the rail-
road companies refused to supply cars
to Rice by which he could make prompt
shipments. and he was otherwise ha-
rassed and delayed.

ing a loss of $15O,0OO. The buildings

The fire started in fruit-box fac
tory at the northwest corner of the
Gerry, and broke through the roof
of the large wooden building be-
fore it was discovered. The heat was
terrific and the firemen could not get
near enough TO limit the fire. The
flames spread in a few minutes to

stable on the east, and to Mcmahon
Bros grocery on the south. Within
thirty minutes ths block was ~. flames.
fhe efforts of tile firemen were then
directed to saving the block on the
east, With the exception of a new
building belonging to ]. w. Johnson,
the attempt was successful. Heroic ef-
forts were made to save the block to
the south, but they were futile. The
Commercial Hotel was soon destroyed,
but by almost superhuman efforts on
the part of the firemen the Martinez
Hotel building was spared, though the
west side is scorched to a tinder.
The streets to the east of the burned
district, as far as the Court House, are
packed with goods of every descrip-
ton. The business houses in the two
blocks to the east of those burned were
cleared of their contents, but they were
saved, the wind shifting just in time.
For a while the vaults of the Mar
tinez Bank were thought to be endan-
gered by the intense heat.

sssCA1.L. BUREAU f30EEI
WASHINGTON Aug. 1s.-Firmness is
shown by the United States in dealing
with the serious situation brought
about in Venezuela by the seizure Of
the properties of the New York and
Bermudese Asphalt Company. Min
lister Bowen has made strong repre-
sentations to President Castro. He has
demanded that the properties be re-
leased from the custody of Venezuelan
Receiver A. H. Garner until the case
may be adjudicated by the courts. The
company has several contracts which
it cannot fill as long as the receiver
retains control Bowen has presented
these facts to President Castro, but it
is understood no satisfactory answer
has been received.
1t has been pointed out to Bowen
that the Venezuelan Federal Govern
ment has no authority to order the re-
ceiver away from the properties, as he
was appointed by the Superior Court
The United States, however, has
hitherto taken diplomatic action which
has resulted in. reversaIs of the deci-
sions of the Superior Court.
When Venezuela first brought suit
against the New York and Bermudese
Company a month ago an emphatic
protest was made. The Venezuelan
Government was informed that the
United States reserved the right to
make further representations after the
Superior Court rendered it's decision,
if that decision was considered a con-
travention of justice to American in
tereStS.
The cruiser Newark, if all is quiet
in Hayti, will proceed to Cartagena,
Colombia, which is convenient to La
Guayra, the port of Caracas. If the
crisis becomes acute the Newark or
some other ship will make a cruise to
Venezuelan waters
