PUBLIC MUST PAY
OIL FIGHTS COST
Standard Oil Company Puts Up
Prices So as Not to Lose by
Kansas War.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Sept. 19.-Following yes
terday's advance in retail prices, the
price of all grades Of crude oil, except
raglan, was advanced again TODAY by
the Standard Oil company, making the
third advance in quotations in two
weeks. AS usual, the higher grades of
oil were raised cents and the lower
grades 2 cents. s. 5 <
The general Wall street explanation
Of the increase is that the public is
able to pay the cost Of the great oil
fight in Kansas. At the office of the
Standard Oil company, it was said that
there was an increased demand fol
oil abroad, owing to the reduction Of
the output in the Baku district. There
has been a great falling off in Pennsyl
vania production, and it is the gralua,
failure of these fields that led the Stan
dard to invade Kansas,
The Standard always puts mp the
price Of oil when the winter season ap
proaches and the demand for illumi
mating oil increases. The Standard Oh
company is expected to pay between 4:
and As per cent in dividends during
the current year. At As per cent, MI
Rockefeller's income from his STANDARD
holdings will be $l9,00O,000.

York state attorney general, will begin

officers of the New York Life who
caused the expenditure Of $l50,000 Of
the company's funds as campaign con
tributions, and also to determine
whether or not the contributions consti-
tute official misconduct on the part of
the managers of a. trust fund. This
was the substance of a statement made
by one close to the attorney general

It was reported today that the at
torney general had been informed that
the money so paid out would be re-
stored to the insurance companies, but
that this would not necessarily prevent
him from taking any action he might
think proper.

satt of the Pennsylvania will retire at
the next annual meeting.'
This statement was made today by a
well-informed railroad man, one whose
source of information is close to the
inner sanctum Of the Pennsylvania Of
fees.
1t startled the local railroad men who
ton to scott at it as "wild' story.
Nevertheless, the informant persisted
in his statement and declared that there
was little chance of the "tip'' being
incorrect. 1t was pointed out that the
shall be retired at the age of 10, and
it has been understood that that rule
shall include the highest official.
Alexander J. Cassatt is Sc years old
having been born at Pittsburg in De-
only three years away from the age
limit. His life has been. a busy one
and, altho he is still vigorous, it is
said that he is consulting his owl
wishes in determining to retire at this
time. He has been railroading since
1861, when he entered the employ Of the
Pennsylvania road as rodman. He has
been Pennsylvania man ever since.
The rumor that presupposes the re
: tirement of Mr.. Cassatt also includes
the name of his successor. Samuel Rea
fourth vice president, is named to sue
coed him. He is so years old and has
been railroad man since 1871, ,whe1
he also entered the employ Of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Like Mr.. Cassatt
Rea began in the engineering depart
ment and practically his whole train

MINOT NATIONAL
CLOSES ITS DOORS
Deposits Amounting to $115,W0
Are Expected to Be Returned

Special to The Journal.
Minot, N. D., Sept. 19.-The Minot
National bank failed to open. its doors
for business today, and a, notice posted
on the door reads: "Closed. pending
the action of the controller of the cur
rency.'
For several weeks there have been
rumors that the bank was in financial
trouble, based on excessive and unrell-
able loans. The announcement is made
semi officially that the bank s reserve
is considerably below the statutory. re-
quirements, but there is something like
$4,000 credited to the reserve funds.
Some time ago, so report says. the
directors called President Erickson IS

instructed him to be a little more pru-

a week ago A. F. slocum, director,
was made temporary president, presnm-
of a deal by which Joseph Roach and
others connected with the Second Ma
tional bank were to get controlling
interest in the Minot National.
It is thought that while this deal was
in progress it was discovered that the
bank IS reserve was below the legal,
mark and the negotiations were held in
allegiance. Rumors of financial trouble
started small run on the bank yester-
day. This, in all probability, would
have developed into rush today and
the closing Of the institution was
