BEGUN AT FINDLAY
Ohio Suit Brought Against the Stand
ard Oil Company Accusing 1t of
Trying to Monopolize Production of
Crude Petroleum.
Publishers Press1

Findlay, o., July 5.-Information
was filed in probate court here against
the Standard Oil company and John
d. Rockefeller.
The information allege that in 1882,
Rockefeller combined individual part
r1ership corporations into the Stand
ard Oil company. The purpose of this
company, the information asserts,
was to monopolize the production,
sale and transportation of crude
petroleum and by it's products. This
it is alleged, was a conspiracy against
trade and a violation of the antitrust
law. Since July 6, 1903, the informa-
ton declares and at all times since,
the Standard Oil company has been
operating in this county through sub
sidiary companies known as the Buck
eye Pipe Line company, and the Man
haitian Oil company. The probate
judge decided that he has Jurisdiction
in the case.
The Standards attorney filed a mo-
ton to the effect that the probate
court had no jurisdiction.

John w. Kern, of counsel for the

called attention to the damage done
the two properties valued at 100000
on account of publication of the raids
and insisted that the hotel companies
had no control of the Casinos what
ever-that the Casinos were leased to
third persons for a term of years and
that the hotel companies brought suit

gambling was being allowed in the
Casinos, and that these suits are
pending in the Orange county courts.

French Lick Springs, Ind, July o.

On the French Lick Springs hotel, nor
has such thing been thought of save
by Mr.. Hearst and his correspondents.
A building owned by the French Lick
Springs company, wholly disconnected
from the hotel property, was leased
to a party to be used for billiards and
bowling alley with a strong clause
against gambling in the lease. After
a time this tenant permitted gambling.
We brought suit for possession on &C
count Of the breach Of that provision
in lease and recovered judgment He
appealed the case and 1t is pending
for trial in present term of court. The
state authorities have supplemented
our efforts to recover possession by
raiding that building, and that is all
there is to the grossly sensational
publications. The French Lick Springs
Hotel company has not, and will not
tolerate gambling in any form on its
premises. This is attested by the
court records which show our efforts
to suppress 1t. The proposition that l
should resign Is preposterous. 1t de-
serves and will receive no attention"

alone will be used and package so
marked shall contain nothing else A
mixture of two or more genuine whis-
kies will be called offended whisky"
and any mixture of whisky and neutral
spirits, cologne spirits or other spirits
and whisky, will be called "a mixture

may be that the recommendation will
require that the particular trade name
of any spirits used must appear in the
