JUDGE 7. C. JONES
ISSUES RULE NIS|
Directed to Justices ofthe Peace
Tarver and Carpenter
CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT
The Officers Are Said to Have At
tempted the Collection of Debts
Contrary to Federal Bank
rupt Law.

Montgomery, September 19.-(Special)-
Thomas G. Jones. judge of the United
States court for the middle and northern
districts of Alabama, has issued rule
nisi directed to Justices of the Peace B.
C. Tarver and d. d. Carpenter, in which
they are ordered to appear September rs in
his court and show cause why they should
not be adjudged in c>stempt of the court
over which he presdes.
The trouble is an old one in the state,
involving the Interpretation of the bank
mIptcy laws. The Justices have been
charged with proceeding to the collec-
ton of claims held against men who had
filed bankruptcy papers and in cases
where such claims had been scheduled.
1t seems that in the case of Tarver,
Sarah johnson got a judgment against
Jerry Hudson and forced its collection,
while the debt was said to be included
in a schedule made by IIlhson in the
bankruptcy courts. Carpenter is alleged
to have in connection with Corbett Bros,
attempted the collection of debt sched-
uled by VIII Cocker.
Judge Jones has on one or two &C.
casions laid the law down very plainly
to the justices In this matter of the bank-
ruptcy proceedings, and 1t is very likely
Justices Tarver and Carpenter will have
trouble In making good with him If they
have violated any of the rules of prac-
tice of the United States court

STANDARD OIL THREAT.
Significant Statement Of Official to
Missouri Producers.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, January a.-At a
meeting of oil producers here yesterday 1t
was decided to curtail production until the
Standard Oil Company resumes purchasing
at the usual rate
]. f. O'Neill, manager for the Standard
in the Kansas field. was present by invita-
ton and was asked what the policy of the
company was to be.
He said that in view of the prosecution or
the company by Attorney General Hadley
of Missouri and the general agitation
against 1t throughout the country, the com
pany had stopped work on its second pipe
line to Whiting, Ind, and had cut down the
volume of purchases. When the agitation
against the company ceased he said the
company would go ahead with development
and would resume purchases.
The producers look upon this as a club
held over their heads to induce them Ito
help check the anti-Standard agitation, but,
as they are at the mercy of the trust, they
RETAINED from saying So, and merely voted
to curtal production. which was necessary.
as all the tanks in the west are filled with
the 1900, 600 barrels now in storage and
the trust Is buying less than half of the
present production.
