FAVORS STANDARD OIL.
Filing of Ohio Case Declared to Be
Illegal.

FINDLAY,- Ohio, December o4.-Judge
Duncan of the common pleas court today
decided that the information filed In the
probate court against the Standard Oil
Company on the charge of violating the
Valentine antitrust law was illegal. and
that the case should have been fled in the
common pleas court.
Judge Duncan, in rendering his decision.
said in part:
THE court of common pleas has power to
review proceedings and judgments of the
probate court in misdemeanor cases, under
section 1856, Revised Statutes, although
the two courts may have concurrent orig
inal jurisdiction therein.
THE probate criminal code, containing no
provision whereby service may be had upon
a corporation, the probate court has no
jurisdiction to try either an individual or a
corporation under the Valentine antitrust
law.
Section 6742. Revised STATUTES, provid-
ing that the provisions governing criminal
proceedings in the court of common pleas
shall. so far as applicable, govern like pro-
ceedings in the probate court was not in
tended as an aid to jurisdiction. and there
fore, does not authorize the probate court
to borrow from the common pleas criminal
code the provisions therein contained pro-
yiding way to get a corporation into that
court charged with a, criminal offense.
1.-THE court OF common pleas has exclusive
original jurisdiction In all criminal prosecu-
tons under the Valentine antitrust laws"

BLUE LAWS FOR CHICAGO.
Reformers Threaten to Invoke Them
as Final Resort.

CHICAGO December 24.-The Tribune
today says: "A puritanical Sunday for
Chicago, with idle street cars and ele-
waited railroads out of commission, with
no newspapers and no Sunday theaters or
even sacred concerts is the retaliation
threatened by Alderman Michael Kenna
If he and other saloon keepers are COM
PEELED to close on Sundays, under the
mandamus proceedings in Judge Frost's
court next Friday. The alderman will be
backed to the fullest extent by the United
Society for Local Self government.
Resolutions demanding a provision in
the new city charter for home rule on
the Sunday saloon question were adopted
at a large mass meeting of Bohemian citi-
zens held yesterday.
Mayor Dunno and Alderman Kenna
will be compelled to show reason in
Judge Frosts court next Friday why the
mandamus should not be issued on peti-
ton of the Sunday Closing League.
The most interesting thing in connec-
ton with the fight between the liquor
interests and the personal liberty or
ganization on the one hand and the re-
formers on the other, however is the
announced declaration of an intention as
final resort to invoke the blue laws
of Illinois if the broad principle that the
cosmopolitan population of Chicago has
right to drink its beer on Sunday is
beSet too sorely."

MORE HEARINGS PROBABLE.
Conferences Between Officials and
Whisky Distillers.

Several hearings OF the whisky dealers
and distillers have been held at the Depart
ment Of Agriculture recently to determine
the form and wording of the label that VIII
be applicable to straight and blended
whiskeys after the pure food law goes into
effect January 1. There are three inter-
ests concerned, the distillers who handle
straight whisky, the people who make syn
thetic whisky out of high-proof spirits and
fiayorins extracts, and the blenders who
combine the two methods. The question
arising is what shall De called whisky for
purposes of sale. The aim of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is simply to follow out
the mandate of the law. 1t is the general
assumption that the law will be complied
with il all goods are labeled so that the
consumer will know what he is getting and
can pay for ii accordingly. The que. ton
is by no means settled yet. The law goes
into effect on the first of the year. but the
prospects are that there will be a number
of other hearings and II is by no means
certain that the regulations for the sale OF
whisky will be completed by that date.

upon the fact that the car had fallen in
such manner as to shield Hicks from the
possible falling of heavy rocks. There was
enough air for him to breathe and enough
water to quench his thirst until assistance

the driving of the pipe. it was said had

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
NO HALF HOLIDAY FOR EXECU-
TIVE STAFF TODAY.
Many Visitors Received by the Presi-
dent-Commissione Sargent on
the Japanese Influx to hawaii.

There was no half holiday at the White
House, and the President put in a lively
Christmas eve receiving and talking with
visitors. He did not leave the executive Of
fees until nearly o'cxsck in the afternoon.
His first visitor was Secretary MetcaIf, his
next Secretary Strauss, and these were fol-
lowed by Secretary Shaw, Senator Cullom,
Senator Piles of Washington, with friends;
Senator Warren of Wyoming Senator
Gearin of Oregon; Senator Long of Kan
sas; Senator MeEnery of Louisiana and
friends; Representative Mann and friends
and Frank Sargent, commissioner of immi-
grafton
The visit OF Commissioner Sargent may
prove of Importance. He was just returned
from the Hawaiian Islands, where he went
to investigate immigration affairs generally
1t is believed that his instructions were es-
peciaiIy to ascertain the facts about the in
HuX OF the japanese, but he did not confirm
this. When asked about conditions in the
islands, SO far as the japanese were con-
cerned, Mr.. Sargent was cautious in his
answer.
There are probably 10000 Japanese in
the islands, and they are arriving there at
the rate of from GO to 900 month. The
new arrivals do not remain long, however,
and soon go to the Pacific coast of the
mainland. They are leaving for the main
land in large numbers by each steamer. In
the last twelve months 1900 japanese have
gone from the Hawaiian islands to the
mainland of this country
why do they first go TO Hawaii?" Mr..
Sargent was asked
The Japanese government, as 1 under
stand 1t, does not issue passports to this
country, as it is unaware whether it's citi-
Zens could get work over here, but the fact
that there is a demand for laborers in
Hawaii induces the issue of passports to
that country. The Japanese go to Hawaii
and most of them take the next steamer
out for this country
Mr. Sargent admitted that there is
pretty strong feeling against the Japanese
in many portions of the Hawaiian islands
At first the japanese who went there were
laborerS who worked in the sugar p!anta-
tons. In the course of time mechanics be-
gan to come in, and in Honolulu contrac-
tors began to use them for building pur-
poses, being able to underbid contractors
working American labor. This led to bitter
feeling. Then the Japanese merchant be-
gan to underSell the American merchant in
the islands and take away the trade of the
Japanese. The feeling further increased
Commissioner Sargent will, it is under
stood, make special report to the Presi-
dent and Secretary Straus, and the influx
OF the Japanese will form an especially in
teresting chapter.
Santa Claus at the White House.
Santa Claus did a lively business around
the White House today. BY means Of ex-
press wagons he deposited a large number
of bundles at the home of the President, adj

dressed to the chief executive, his excellent
wife and different children of the family.
The number of bundles and packages de-
posted was larger than In many years, and
they came from all parts of the country.
1t is the rule of the White House to accept
Christmas presents when they are not Of
large value. which would place anybody
under obligations In case their value is
above a reasonable sum they are returned
to the shipper with the thanks of the Presi-
dent. Members of the Roosevelt family
throughout the country. personal friends
and Stanch admirers send most of the
presents, but often some calculating person
sends something along with the idea that
he can make something out of it later on.
In that he is mistaken.
Some of the shippers forget to pay the
express charges, and when they do the
packages are not received at the White
House. A Christmas tree of cedar was re-
ceived today, but the person who sent 1t
failed to pay charges and the express COM
pany will hold it.

Northern Pacific Plans New Tracks
in Montana.

HELENA, Mont, December 24.-H is re-
ported that the Northern Pacific will soon
begin the grading of cut off which will
leave the main line at OF near Miles City,
and, following a course directly westward,
will strike the present road not far from
Helena This consolidation will involve
about $50 miles of new track. but will
shorten the distance between st. Paul and
Seattle at least 40 miles. 1t will obviate
the necessity of a double track which has
been under contemplation.
The invasion of the Northern Pacific ter
ritory by the coast extension of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul requires the
building of the proposed line in order to
protect large traffic in Montana now en-
joyed by the Northern Pacific and which
otherwise would be secured by the Mil
Waukee.

MAY SUCCEED MR.. BRYCE.
Augustine Birrell Mentioned for the
Irish Secretarvship.

DUBLIN, December 24.-James Bryce,
who is to succeed Sir Mortimer Durand as
British ambassador at Washington has
returned to the chief secretary's office in
the CASTLE and is now busy winding up
public affairs there preparatory to hand
ing over the post to his successor. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Bryce will remain in Dub
lin until about January 5, after which he
will return to London and arrange his pri-
vate affairs. 1t is understood that he will
leave England for Washington about the
middle OF February.
There is an increasing tendency in Dub
lin to regard Augustine Birrell, the presi-
dent of the board of education, as the most
probable successor of Mr.. Bryce as chief
secretary to Ireland. He would be univer-
sally acceptable to the Irish leaders.
