BIGGEST PIPE YET.
Standard Oil Company Plans to
Pump Petroleum From Texas
to New York.
ESCAPE THE ANTI-REBATE LAW
Six Thousand Miles of Line Already
Laid-Chicago to be
Center.

Chicago, April 2l.-As a means of
evading the anti-rebate law and of be-
coming further Independent of the
railroads, the Standard Oil company
has planned to lay a pipe line from
| Texas to New York, with branch lines
radiating to the various oil fields. In
this way the entire crude oil prOduc-
ton of the United States is to be
| handled. As an adjunct to this enter
prise, refineries will be erected at con-
venient intervals, and feet of oil
steamers is to be operated between
Chicago and the eastern ports of the
great lakes.
BY thus uniting all the oil districts
of the country, the Standard Oil com
pany Will be enabled to feed any re-
tinery at will and to develop new
fields. Chicago oil depot, Whiting,
Ind. will be made the radiating point
of the transportation system. From
this point pipe lines will extend to all
ports on the lakes. Through the pos
session of the worlds largest refinery.
the contemplated extension will make
Whiting of much greater Importance
than it now is.
VIII NObL
Although an outlay of many mil
lions is necessary for this enterprise.
1T is expected that the results will
warrant the expense. as the new
method of transportation has been
found much cheaper than the old. The
of the oil output of the
eastern states has also rendered these
necessary.
The recent Injunction against pump |
ing oil from one state into another
has not caused much anxiety to the |
promoters of the scheme. In order to |
avoid the antitrust law the company |
i separately organized in every state. |
Legally. there is no connection be- |
tween the Standard Oil company of |
Indiana and that of Illinois, but an
officer in one of these departments is
said to be able to hold the same posi-
ion in any of the companies in the
United States or abroad.

the Drop on Them-Had
Money.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 11.-With 1880 in
their pockets, Edward O'Reagan, alias

crooks in the west, and mis- companion
thought to be "Reddie" Lutz, accused
of having robbed the Peoria National
bank in broad daylight yesterday noon
were captured at Toulon, a town 39
miles north Of here today.
The men were taken by Sheriff Ma

barn trying to secure horse. They
were captured after an exciting cross
country drive during which they CON-
PEELED a farmer, William hines, at
the point of revolver to carry them
is miles at breakneck speed.
After escaping from Peoria the men
walked across the country to point
three miles from the city where they
met Hines in farm wagon. Levelling
their guns they compelled him to turn
around and with two guns pointing
at his temple he drove them to within
two miles of Wyoming. Here the men
alighted and threatening Hines with
death IL he should move within &c
minutes they hurried to Wyoming and
asked for horse at livery barn.
Their actions aroused the livery.
mans suspicious and he telephoned to
Sheriff Malone at Toulon to watch fol
the men,, Malone and his deputies hid
In a livery barn where it was thought
the bandits would ask for a change Of
! horses and when they appeared they
were met with the sheriff ard a com.
mand to give up. They refused and at.
tempted TO pull the revolvers but were
net with the command from Sheriff
Malone: Hands UP or well shoot!'
They obeyed and were placed in the
Stark county Jail. When searched
1880 was found in their pockets to.
gether with five revolvers.
The men will be brought back tC
this city and placed in the Peoria
