OF STANDARD OIL
Suit Filed in New Jersey Assails
Rockefeller Monopoly as
Illegal Trust.

Trenton, N. J., June 27.-Charles
D. Henderson, Jr., Of Jersey City and
Joseph M. w. Newlan of Philadel-
phia, counsel for George Rice, Mari
eta, Ohio, today filed in the court of
chancery a bill for the dissolution of
the Standard Oil company, a New
Jersey corporation, charging that the
company is illegal Ind that it exists
in violation of the antitrust laws Of
the United States and of the decision
in this state relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard
Oil company, in Ohio, was declared
illegal by the courts of that state,
but that the company, instead of dis
solving in obedience to that decision,
has evaded the Ohio decision, and
that the New Jersey corporation is
merely g. holding company for the
Ohio concern.
The bill asks that not only the
company be dissolved, but that its
assets be distributed among it's stock
holders after paying off it's outstand-
ing securities. For the accomplish
ment of this purpose it Is asked that
a receiver be appointed.

Missing Dispatch Bearer Last
Seen on Eve Of Liners Ar
rival at Port.

London, June 27.-A dispatch to
the Central News from Hamburg says
1t Is reported there that the body Of
Kent J. Loomis, who disappeared from
the Kaiser Wilhelm II. shortly before
her arrival at Plymouth, June 20, has
been washed ashore near Cherbourg,
France. There is no confirmation of
the rumor. r..s.-...+-
Bremen, June 27.-All evidence
available shows that Kent J. Loomis,
brother of Assistant Secretary of
the Kaiser Wilhelm II about mid
night. June 10, when he went on
deck after the usual captains dinner
had been given on the eve Of the yes
sells arrival.
Shortly afterwards William II.
Ellis, his companion, searched Tor
Loomis but was unable to find him.
The captain and the head steward,
both of whom knew Loomis well,
were standing at the gangway as the
passengers landed at Plymouth, and
they both declare positively that Loo
mis- did not land.
Government Councillor Mueller of
Berlin, who was a passenger on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, drew up a report,
according to which Ellis deposed that
Loomis often sat in a reckless fash
ion close to the rail, despite recent
warnings. Ellis also said Loomis
drank a good deal the last few days
preceding his disappearance. None OF
the other witnesses, however, re-
marked this.

Varley were captured.
He says that on the night of May
18 he had just entered the drawing
room after dinner, and hearing a
noise among the servants, he and
Cromwell Varley went out to inves-
tigate the cause. They were imme-
diately surrounded by armed Moors,
who bound and maltreated them.
the head with the butt of a rifle and
knife was slashed across his hands,
making a serious wound. At first it
was thought Varleys skull had been
fractured.
Perdicaris and Varley were then
carried away on horseback. They
were bound with ropes and round
about roads were taken in order to
avoid villages. The bandits stopped
at Tsarradent, twenty-four hours from
Tangier, and Raisui allowed Perdt-
caris to write to his wife next morn
ing, and also to the shereef Of Wa
zan, asking them to intervene fol
himself and Varley.
At first they lived in filthy huts, but
later they were given tents and made
comfortable. They had little ground
for anxiety as to their personal safety

Drowned in Lake Calhoun
a Month Ago.

After lying in the water at Lake CAL
houn since May 18, the body of Law
renee Byers, the Central high school
senior who was drowned by falling
from small canoe, was found this
morning near the shore at Thirty
fifth street by Mrs. J. M. Norris, Jr.,

Never have the police worked so
hard for the recovery Of a body as for
that Of young Byers. The morning
following the drowning, the police pa
troll boat was taken to the lake and
the work Of dragging started. An
other boat, manned by fremen, as
sisted and for four weeks the officers
worked ten hours each day and
dragged large section Of the lake s

doned.

year-old daughter of John Wilson, a.
white man residing near Belfontaine,

was lynched in the public square

named Startling Durham about two
weeks ago. She identified the man,
and yesterday placed a moose about

the word from the leader Of the mob,
she then led a horse on which Dun
ham had been mounted from under
him.
Fully three thousand persons, white
and black, witnessed the hanging.
The lynching was as orderly as a le-
gal execution. After being assured
that the negro was dead the mob
cut down the body and turned it over
to relatives for burial.

however, has not yet been confirmed.
All day yesterday Russian troops
were hurrying southward from Ia

were continuously moving out briskly
to the accompaniment of their battle
songs. Clouds Of dust hung over the
marching columns and the chorus of
the infantry singers was occasionally

ATTEMPTS TO
BUY UP VOTERS
Dunn Men Boldly Endeavor to
Buy Support for Their Can
didate. =

Desperate methods are being used
by the Dunn managers in Hennepin
county. Fortified by a barrel Of
enormous proportions. they have gone
into many precincts Of the city and
country districts, offering large sums
of money to men who have gone on
Collins tickets, to deliver their votes to
Dunn.
This morning they stationed an al
legged detective in the Collins head
quarters to interview the workers as
they came in. He called several into
the hall for private conversations. He
was finally detected in making an
offer Of $3.50 for the vote of the dele
cation from Edna Mills, where the
Collins sentiment predominates
strongly. In making this offer he said
today.
A third ward Collins worker re-
ported that he had been offered 500
to lose the precinct book until 8:45
this evening. The plan was to have
enough Dunn men in line at that time
to monopolize the voting until 9
o'clock, and then close the primary.
Other reports show that whole dele
cations Of workingmen have been Of
fered big pay to colonize precincts.
They are to stay away from the pri-
maries and leave the Collins men in
fancied security till just before the
close, and then come in force and cap
ture the precinct, when it is too late
for the Collins men to rally their
forces and overcome the "Hessian''
vote.
Many such schemes have been re-
ported to the Collins workers, who are
busy today arranging to counteract
them. Many others are no doubt be-
ing worked with better success at se-
crecy The Collins men say they ex-
pect to carry the county by fifty votes
in the convention, at least, and that
they would not feel safe on a smaller
margin, for the sums Of money being
offered to delegates are a great temp.
tation. The smaller the margin, the
fewer delegates the Dunn managers
would have to buy, and the higher
price they could afford to pay each
one.
In one precinct heard from, every
man on the Collins slate as a dele.
gate withdrew last week, having beer
bought off. The Collins men had tt
hold a meeting and make up an entire.

.HAILSDEATH CHAIR AS
DESERVED AND DIES

New York, June 27.-Frank Henry
Burness, one of the most remarkable
prisoners that ever occupied the death
house at Sing Sing prison, went to
his death in the electric chair to-day.
With smile on his face he walked
from his cell and, seating himself in
the chair, assisted the men in adjust
ing the straps which were to bind him.
-Four electric shocks were given before
he was pronounced dead.
IT deserve to die," Burness told the
prison officials, land the sooner they
put an end to my troubles the better.
I've got an uncomfortable temper and
# released would only commit more
violent crimes. Ia kill man for
cents as quick as for anything else.''
Burness was born in Butler, Pa,
forty-four years ago, and had fol-
lowed the sea nearly all his life. He
had refused religious consolation and
there was no clergyman with him at
the end.

COLLINS LEADS

Hennepin County's Vote Would

DUNN MANAGERS TRY

Extravagant Claims Made Fail to

It is up to Hennepin county.

1t is up to Hennep1n county.
Judge Collins has made magnifs
icent showing in the rural counties, in
the primaries held up to today. He
has broken into some of the counties
considered solid for Dunn, and has
held all the strength that was claimed
for him.
On the returns received, and the
outlook in the few counties holding
primaries today, Collins seems certain

can nominate Judge Collins. They

day claiming all three counties with
confidence, but it is evident that the
fight in Ramsey will be very close,
and that Collins chances are better in
Hennepin.
claims of the Dunn organs are abso-
lutely unfounded. The claims of the
Dunn managers cannot be substanti-
ated, and are pure bluff, a fact which
is already becoming known and ap-
preciated. They have failed to make

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, given
over absolutely to the claims Of Dunn,
received free circulation in the city
yesterday and today, being sent out
broadcast from the Dunn headquar-
ters. for the purpose of creating a
absurdity Of its claims has been shown
up to such an extent that 1t carries no
weight at all.
The Journal has received re-
ports from its correspondents in the
counties where primaries have been
held, giving the outlook Of the coun-
ty conventions as accurately as posst-
Bile. They were instructed to be alb
solutely impartial. The result is still

even these doubtful counties will not
save Mr.. Dunn.
A delegation Of 113 delegates from
Hennepin county, added to the
strength Judge Collins now has, will
insure his nomination..
