CHICAGO. Aug. 27.-The Standard
Oil company has taken steps toward
acquiring ownership of all the princi-
pal distilling plants in the United
States, according to special dispatch
fro N Peoria, ILL.,, to the Tribune. A
conference was held Friday last in
Chicago, between representatives OF
the distilling interests and the Stand
ard Oil company.
a price has been set on every dis
tillery in Peoria and indications are
a deal will be effected and the plants
will pass into the hands of the Stand
ard Oil company soon. II Is said the
price asked was considered too high
by the Standard Oil people and the
latter threatened, If suitable terms
could not be reached they would build
distilling houses of their own.
The chief reason for this action on
the part of the Standard Oil company
was the recent passage of the alcohol
bill by congress. Experts employed
by the Rockefeller interests, after ex-
perimenting, reported this produc;
