Yachtsman Likes Nevada

E. C. Berriman, the yachtsman of
Chicago, who is better known in yacht
ing circles as the Commodore" is at
the Alexandria. The commodore is a
wealthy cigar manufacturer but ci-
gars occupy very small part of his
time. lie can afford to leave that busi-
ness to his assistants and he does it.
Just at present he has returned from
Goldfeld, where he is interested in
mining properties. He declares that
Nevada is a great mining country and
lie expects to see many fortunes made
there.
Mr.. Berriman owns beautiful little
yacht and there are few men in the
country who have higher understand
ing or appreciation of the good points
of the graceful craft that obey the
beck and call of the winds than the
commodore.

Something in This Name

If there is such a thing as affinity
anywhere. surely it is at the AleXan-
dria now. w. H. Moon is there and
Mr.. Moon sells night robes. In fact
Mr.. Moon has been selling night shirts
for twenty years and there are few
better known travelling men in the
country Perhaps Moon is not a very
uncommon name or night robes a very
uncommon garment, but the combina-
ton is sufficient to arrest attention and
it may be that this is the reason why
Mr.. Moon has been so successful in his
chosen line.

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
YOUNG PRESS AGENT
ApVERTlsEs STAR
ny the EAvEsDEOPPER

There is handsome chap at the
Hayward now who bears the dtstinc-
tion of being the youngest press agent
in America and of travelling for the
youngest star, who will come to the
west this season.
lie is Harry G. FitzGerald and he Is
the forerunncr of Jessie Busey, who
will appear at the Mason Monday
night in Charming Pollack's dramati-
zation of Miriam Michelson's In the
Bishops Carriage" under the manage
ment OF Lieber and company. Mr..
FitzGerald was press agent for Ring
ling Bros. and like other men now
preceding the theatrical profession over
the country, he was once a newspaper
man.
"A professional liar" Mr.. FitzGerald
calls himself, though, perhaps, that was
not for publication, so please forget 1t.
If 1t is true that this propensity is his,
1t is backed up by q sunny smile and
CHEEKY manner that cannot fail to
make winning. OF Los Angeles Mr..
FitzGerald has not much to say. He
is in love with the climate, like every
Cne else, ana if this is a lie it is not an
original one, so we will be hattered
and call it the truth.

Indiana Appellate Court Re-
verses Lower Court

The Appellate Court of Indianapolis,
in recent decision, reversed the judg
ment of lower court releasing Curtis
Sheldon of Greenfield from prosecution
for the sale of beer in his saloon on
last Labor day. Judge Wiley, of the
Appellate Court, in his decision, re-
viewed the legislation on the subject of
legal holidays, and declared: '"The lines
have frightened about those who in any
manner would corrupt private or public
morals. When any day is set apart for
public rejoicing, harmless festivities
and celebrations, the public who con-
gregate for such purposes are entitled
to every protection the law can throw
about them. f. There is a greater ten
dency to dissipation when the masses
congregate than when they are in pur-
suit of their daily occupations. The law
has been passed by the legislature and
must be enforced by the courts.

The Devil Knew How

According to an old legend, man
had sold his soul to the devil, and he
had all the time he wanted during his
life, but he began to rue his bargain
when the end came, and he refused to
give up his soul, and the devil said:
'"Then you just curse God and / will
release you" Course God; / can never
do that he is my Creator" "Well, then,
kill your father and l will let you
go free what! you ask me to go and
kill my own father? I will never do
that" go and get drunk then" "That
is very easy thing to do" Away he
went and got drunk; after he got drunk
he cursed God and killed his father and
lost his soul.

 q watched 'em pretty close, though, when we opened at the Gar den, but to all appearances things were rosy and il was just six weeks later when any fears l had had about those rival acts were put at rest. We were showing in Chicago at the time and one evening l esped Helena and the Frenchman having supper together at one of the restau- rants, seated well back among the palms where nothing much reached them except the strains of music from the stringed orchestra.
 "That looked pretty safe to me and as there is quite a difference be- tween the show business and cutting coupons for a living, I soon lost track of them beyond the fact that they were a couple of the best ad- vertisers we ever had had with our tents.
 'Two days before we struck Mont gomery on our last big swing up the coast, Martelli came to me and arranged for monthly draft which he always sent to his mother over at Marseilles. He didn't appear as chipper as usual and I noticed a worn expression about his face which seemed to indicate slecpless nights and trouble of some kind. II asked if the constant travelling had a bad effect on his lions, making them harder to manage, but he told me his lions were all right, and after thanking me, walked away. l won dered then if the lines were tangled anywhere, but those devils are as full of whims, you know, as a circus elephant IS of peanuts, so I wasn't surprised to see him the next day with a smile on bis face and, for all l could see, as well as ever.

 Some Standard Oil Methods.
 The petition then shows the meth ods employed by the Standard Oil company to monopolize the oil busi- ness These include discriminating contracts with the railroad companies, manipulation of rates, local price cut ting, bogus independent companies, etc.
 The bill sets up among others con tract between the Standard Oil com pany and the Tidewater Pipe company whereby the Tidewater companies are limited to 111a per cent of certain business in Pennsylvania and New York, and the Standard oil company to receive SS1a per cent of the busi- ness, the Standard Oil company guar anteeing the Tidewater company $500,- 900 per annum profits, thereby elim- mating all competition between them.
 The bill alleges a contract made with the Pennsylvania railroad com pany in 1884, which was in existence until 1906, by which the Standard Oil company was able to maintain the public charges for transporting crude oil from western Pennsylvania at 40 and 45 cents a barrel to Philadelphia and New York respectively. The Stand ard Oil company, through it's own pipe lines, transported the oil for eight cents barrel.

It 10 alleged that the lsfendants through the Standard OY company and the other corporations, are en- gagged in producing, purchasing and transporting petroleum in the various producing districts in the United States, principally situated in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Indian Territory Ok lahoma, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado and California; that they own and con trol nearly all of the pipe lines In said states, and other pipe lines ex. tending from Kansas to the seaboard {; also pipe lines in Taxas and in Cal ifornia; that they own large num- Der of tank cars and steamships en- gagged in transporting oil; and that the said defendants have, through the in strumentality of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey Ca holding corpor- ation), eliminated competition between all of the separate corporations and monopolized the commerce in oil in the United States.
 Control the Pipe Lines.
 It is alleged that the Standard Oil company has had control of the carry ing business by pipe lines in and from all the oil producing regions of the United States except Texas, Louisiana and California; that they charged ex- cessive and unreasonable rates, and rates which were discriminatory in favor of the Standard Oil company that they have refused to furnish equal facilities for receiving and de livering oil of independent shippers and refiners; that they have refused to transport oil belonging to others than the defendants and their associa. ted companies, and since the month of August, 1906, have refused to transport oil of others except in such large Quan- titles as to completely prevent inde- pendent producers and refners of oil from using their service, and that they have forced 16 independent refiners now doing business in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and producing their crude oil through the Standard Oil com pany plpe lines, to sell all or tneir export oil to the Standard Oil com pany. thereby eliminating their com petition. This contract was procured through threats of the Standard Oil company to reduce the amount oi crude oil which 1t would sell to the independent refiners.
