ceived them in his private library and

with all the distinguished prclates, cS-
pccially with Cardinal OreSlia, dean
of the college. The chief topic of con-
yersation was the situation in France.
The Pope said that the church Will
not finch from the attitude taken, no
more concessions being possible, but
ne hoped that tn" violence and per-
sccution would soon result in better
times.
Addressing the cardinals in ansWC"
to their congratulations. the Pope said
nc was sorry he had no good news for
them, abiding to the situation OF
church affairs in France. and said he
wished he, himself and the whole Sa-
cred College were in France to share
the prosecution of the clergy. He was
consoled however. by the solidarity of
the French cpiscopacy and also by tn"
appreciation of the bishops throughout
the world and trusted in the ultim-
ate triumph of the church.
Referring to the anti-clercal demon
STATIONS in Italy, the Pontiff expressed
regret that SO many soldiers. detailed
to guard the Vatican night and day.

ard Oil 60. won Il victory in common
pleas court here today. when Judge w.
s Duncan decided that the probate
court had no jurisdiction in the suit
brought against it in the probate court
and threw out the recent verdict OF
guilty against the company. PrOsecu-
tor David some time ago filed an in
formation in the probate court against
Standard charging it with violating
the antitrust laws of the state. He
maintained that he could get action
quicker against the company by this
proceeding than through indictments
in the common pleas court.
The Standard attorneys contended
that the probate court had no juris-
dictiOn in the matter; that if there
had been a violation of law the prose-
cution should have proceeded against
the company through the indictments
The point was upheld by Judge Dun
can out of the probate court.
This decision in no way effects the
