Camnhen in Conference.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Representative
Campbell of Kansas, whose resolution
in the house prompted the investigation
of the Standard Oil company, had 4
long and important conference with
Commissioner Garfield at the bureau of
corporations Saturday night, and laid
before him in detail serious charges
against the Standard OIL company.
Mr.. Campbell's conference with Com
missioner Garfield was held for the pur-
pose of facilitating the investigation in
Kansas. which will begin at once and
be finished and reported to the president
before the general inquiry has ended.
The representations made Saturday
win be made the basis of the investiga-
ton and they are considered important
here by the Kansas representative and
the men who are with him in his state
are leaving no stone unturned to force
a criminal prosecution Of the trust.
Mr.. Campbell gave out a statement.
and said that in substance it contained
the information furnished by him to
the commissioner of corporations In
part. the statement reads:
The Standard Oil company is the
only purchaser of crude oil in Kansas.
There is a small independent refinery at
Humboldt, but the daily consumption
Of this plant is so small. about 140 bar
rels, that It cannot be considered. Since
il was put in operation it has been ham

such an extent that it has not had an

market for fuel oil until last fall, when
the rate on this commodity was in

Ruined the Independents.
This increase in the rate cut the re-
hnery out of the business. and the sup
position is that the rate was raised on
account of pressure brought to bear by
the Standard Oil company.
The refinery at Humboldt had a
good market for fuel oil, or more prop
erly speaking. gas OIL which it was
shipping to ST Joseph, until the ad-
vance in the freight rates referred to
was made. Then ii had to discontinue

Moran Crude Oil company.
AT Chanute there were several op-
orators who had a market for crude oil
irrespective of the Standard Oil COM
pany, but all were forced to quit, and
sell to the Standard or not at all
It is now the only purchaser, for the
reason that the freight rates are so
regulated that the producers cannot

THE TRADEMARK ARTIST.
Inventor Of Words and Signs as Trade
Attractions Does Flourish
ing Business.


Art Is fanciful, mistress and has
many wooers. One Of the latest is the
trademark maker. There are q half
dozen prosperous members of this trade
In the city, says the New York Post.
The best-known Is en- frish-American
with more wit than talent for line or
color. He was a mediocre lawyer before
he took to inventing trademarks for
merchants. His legal knowledge makes
his services doubly valuable.
There are lots of tricks In this trade" /"
said he. "and one has to keep his eyes
open. Did you know one couldn't regis
ter a trademark unless he was a mer-
chant or engaged in business of some
kind? An insurrectionist OF an exile
cannot register either, but Indians and
married women can, although some
states with antique laws won't allow
them to own property in their own
names. Women get us into lot OF
trouble. A complexion maker ordered
a mark called Easter Lily Balm. II
didn't go, because II had nothing of the
Easter lily in It.
Another woman collected insects
eggs and preserved them and ordered q
mark, American Caviar. That was
void, too. Then the feminine mind de.
lights in actresses names for goods, and
IL there Is any possibility OF the his
trions ever going into the business
the marks suggest. the government
refuses to register. With historic
names such as Dolly Madison, Martha
Washington, etc, it's all right.
Animals make splendid marks and
give the artist chance. l think the
most successful idea, however, is the
signature and a newly-coined word
In the former patent-medicine max
fers turn out the most novelties, ant
in the latter the cereal food manufac
turers. Some OF these merchants
think nothing of turning out a new
food and new mark each month
Sometimes prizes are offered fo
newly-coined words, and sometimes
the artist supplies the word, the lega
knowledge OF registry and the sketcl
Of the mark. In this case there II
bound to be a splendid financial re
turn. The latest thing is the collec
tor of trade marks and labels. III,
