SAYS STANDARD OIL Was
TRIED BY WRONG COURT

Findlay, O., Dec. 26.-Judge Dun
can, of the common pleas court, has
decided that the information fled in
the probate court against the Standard
Oil Company on the charge Of violat-
ing the Valentine antitrust law, was
illegal and that the case should have
been fled in the common pleas court.
Judge Duncan upholds the conten-
tion Of the Standard Oil attorneys that
the probate court has no jurisdiction
in the matter, and that, if there should
be violation Of the law, the prosecu-
ton should have proceeded against the
company through indictments.
The verdict returned in the probate
court against the Standard, that it was
guilty of violating the antitrust laws
of the state, is therefore annulled, but
the decision in no way effects indict-
ments recently returned in common
pleas court against John D. Rockefel-
Ter and the other officials of the Stand.
ard Oil Company. charging them with
violating the antitrust laws.

We are spending too much money.
The money ought to be kept here in
