Anthony, the case having been transferred from St. Louis. Her bert s. Hadley, the Attorney General, and two assistants, represented the State.
 The State charges that the defendants have entered into combination to control the prices of oil destroying competition. Judge Anthony was named special commissioner by the Su- preme Court to hear the testimony and report it's findings in the case. After examining several witnesses here, he will likely go to other parts of the State for the same purpose.
 A. II.

Mir. Gardner told frankly how he and a representative of the Standard had talked over the rebates and other things which they agreed the witness said, must be kept under a cloak"
