LEGISLATURE TO TACKLE
THE STANDARD OIL co.

TRENTON, Nov. 23:-The Stand
ard Oil Company, John d. Rockefel-
ler's great corporation and trust, will
have to fight for its life in the legis-
lature of New Jersey this winter if
the democratic minority, in both
houses of the legislature, which con-
trolls the House of Assembly has any
thing to say on the subject.
That ii is the intention of the dem
ocratic leaders to make a determined
attack on the Oil Trust is assured.
And the attack is to be made early in
the session, as soon as possible after
the reorganization of the legislature
and the ascending into power of the
democratic assemblymen. A bill will
be introduced to cancel the Jersey
charter of the Standard Oil, and as it
is under this charter that most of
the corporations business is done, it
will be readily seen that the trust
will be placed in a serious position,
particularly in view of the fact that
the republicans of the senate are not
especially favorable to the trusts
since the November elections when
the reform element came prominent
ly to the front.

her released, and the girl has not
been very anxious about it herself.
She simply says that she did not steal
the coat, that a mistake has been
made and she wonders why they
don't let her go home.
She lives neal Jamesburg and tooR
