STANDARD OIL CHARGES
Tried at Chicago Viii Involve Rail-
road Officials.

ST. Louis.-Tra ffic officials of St
Luis railroads and officials and en-
ployes OF the Standard Oil and of the
WatcrsPierce Oil Company have been
subpoenaed to testify before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in Chi.
cago May 10th regarding the special
rates and rebates enjoyed by the
Standard Oil and its subsidiary com.
panies throughout the West Follow
ing are the points which the federal at
torneys expect to bring out in their
investigation.
First-That Rockefeller, who owns
Standard Oil, also owns a controlling
interest in many Of the railroads of the
West and Southwest, being thus both
shipper and common carrier.
Second-That various alleged indie
pendent oil companies in the West
and Southwest are merely the Stand
ard Oil under other names.
Third-That the Standard was given
lower rates than other oil companies
and that the railroads paid to the trust
the differences between the low rate it
paid and the higher rates paid by it's
rivals.
Fourth-That these favors were OBJ
tanned partly through the fact that
Rockefeller owned the railroads as well
as the freight, and partly through fav-
ors shown railroad officials who have
the power to grant rebates.
In all, sixty-five ST. Lour'ans are
wanted to testify at the hearing.
Among these are officials and clerks of
the Frisco, Burlington, Missouri Pa
cific, Wabash and Chicago, Peoria &
ST Louis railroads.
The facts brought out, it is expected.
will furnish a basis for prosecution of
the railroads for giving rebates and the
Standard Oil for accepting them

to Prevent Drunkenness.

San Francisco-With the increasing
ing the bread line" General Greedy
has hopes of soon eliminating from the
relief lists a large percentage OF the
people who are now receiving free
food supplies 1t is becoming more
difficult every day for able-bodied men
to secure their army ration. When 4
healthy appearing man presents him
self for food he is frequently con
fronted by an offer of employment
and if he refuses to engage in the prof
fored work he is denied relief
All the women must prove beyond
doubt that they are in need of assist
ance. Tickets, good for only few
days food, are furnished them and at
the expiration of the privilege they
must again demonstrate their desti-
| tuition before aid is given them, AL
ready there is big decrease in the
daily output of supplies and the Off
Cials expect that by June 1st their la
bors in this direction will practically
be ended. 1t is anticipated that when
the savings banks are opened for pay
| ments TO small depositors there will be
further lessening in the number of
the men and women who are now
forced 10 ask for their SUPPLIES from the
stations.
The sale of liquor in neishboring
countes is causing san Francisco po-
lice much trouble Since the saloons
have been closed here, drinking places
have been established just across the
| county line in San Mateo and the sa-
looms of Oakland across the bay have
recently been allowed to resume busi-
ness. The result has been that thou
sands of idle men are visiting the le-
| sorts and returning here much the
worse for liquor. Chief of Police Di
nan today issued an order that all per
sons from outside points under the in
| fiuence of drink be turned back on a
return journey, and he detailed fifty
| men to enforce his ruling.
Reporting for the finance committee
Mr. Phelan announced that the outside
| subscription for May 9Th amounted to

| confirmed, makes grand total of 81 J..
992, 900 This did not include $500, 900
now held by the chamber of com
plan for rehabilitation OF San Fran

The bankers say that under normal
conditions the banks could not be
more prosperous than they are at pres

there is scarcely any demand for ready

The French Elections.

Paris.-The results OF the election
are considered chiefly important in
confirming the policy which the gov
ernment has thus far pursued, particu-
larly on the question of the separation
of church and state.
The groups of the left supporting
the government are strongly in
creased. while the opposition groups
are uniformly decreased the combative
Nationalists being almost extermi-
mated. The government groups are so
much increased that they are no longer
dependent upon the Socialists.

ment has carried 2G2 and the opposi-
ton 1G9. In 155 districts there will be
rebollotjngs. The results in colonial
