POSSIBLE RESULT OF STANDARD
OIL CASE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FINDLAY, Ohio, October 18.-The Jury in
the suit brought against the Standard OIL
Company for alleged violation Of the anti
trust laws of the state it is said will dis
agree.
The Jury Is said to be ten for finding a
verdict of guilty and two for acquittal The
jury received the case at $50 last night,
and up to noon today had not reported.
So far as can be ascertained no change in
the position Of the jurors has yet taken
place, and many now believe that a mistrial
will result though the jurors themselves
have notified the court that they may arrive
at a verdict at any time.
Shortly after midnight the jury requested
that Judge Banker furnish it copy of his
written charge
The bailiff summoned Judge Banker and
counsel in the case to the court room at

DIR. Abbott said he gloried in what had

and the administration of Taft.
He arraigned the United States Senate
for sitting the Philippine tariff reduction
bill. We must, he said give the Filipinos,
first just laws vigorously enforced; second,
productive industry promoted by wise leg
islation, and third, a system Of education
having for It's aim the development of self
government. DIR. Ward said the reason
America lacks the sympathy Of the Fill
p.nos is that her attitude has not been that
of kindly, sympathetic fellowship. Civil
government should be established as rapid

fought is the character Of some of the
Americans who are floating around as at

VERY WARM CHARIV Arr
LIVELY TIME AT THE NUPTIALS
OF ONE BELLIER.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, October 49,
Philip BeAier, bridegroom of a day is
wondering today If it pays to get married
after all.
Immediately after the ceremony his mis-
cry began. 1t was caused by the descent
last night on the home of his BRIDE Miss
Elizabeth Prouix, who lives with her par
ents on farm In a town of Tildening Of
one hundred men and women, bent on CIV
ing a chayivarl to the newly married pair
The house was stormed when refresh
ments were refused. windows were broken,
lace curtains torn down and trampled upon
and even the bridal chamber was invaded
Here the raiders seized the nuptiai bed.
took it TO pieces and carried it away with
them. Even the mattress and bed clothing
were not spared.
Nor was this the end The mob then
broke into the milk house on the farm in
search of liquor. and finding none turned
the milk into the creek.
Finally the bridegroom who had been In
hiding, made his appearance. The crowd
demanded so to dispense. Bellier offered
the mob 81. but it spurned this offer with
ioud outlaws. Thereupon he was seized by
the women in the party. Rugged and kissed
until he shrieked for mercy.
He offered the twenty women who had
surrounded him 81 if they would give him
his freedom, and they said they would, pro-
viding he gave them 81 more. This was
agreed 10 and the bridegroom with his
clothing nearly torn from his back, was
released.
The money satisfied the crowd. which dis
persed at once. The sight that greeted Bel
lier's eyes when ne returned to the house
made him wild with anger The whole in
side of the place was a mass of wreckage
Broken furniture. window glass and tram
pied clothing were strewn about the floor,
and in corner of one room he found his
bride crying.
The aged parents of the bride were terror
stricken and had been unable to come to
his aid.
Then Bellier decided he would have re-
venge. He and his mother-in-law visited the
district attorneys office today. and as a re-
suit it is expected that nearly one hundred
warrants will be sworn out for the arrest
of the marauders.

AS to the administration of the canal

who the appointees would be- though a Sc
lection had almost been made before his
departure for Havana.
Chief Executive on the Isthmus.
The expediency of making Mr. Stevens
governor as well as chief engineer had
been canvassed, and there was much to
be said in favor of that plan which would
be in the line of centering responsibility
In one capable person. 1t was true that
the engineering work of the canal con-
struction was very heavy, but 1T might
be possible for Mr.. Stevens, nominally
governor of the zone. to discharge the
greater part of the duties of that office
through some competent assistant to be
appointed for the purpose; some one IA
miliar with the law and civil administrti-
ton. The animating purpose was rather
to diminish the Importance of the office
of governor while enlarging those of the
minister to Panama. The Secretary, in
conclusion. stated that he expected to
take up with the President very soon the
question of appointing PHILIPPINE COM
missioner and vice governor, which place
was to have been filled by Gov. Magoon
before his assignment to duty in Cuba.
