STANDARD OIL TRUST FINED
Case in FindIay, Ohio, Ends With
$4,000 Penalty.
If Found Guilty on All Charges Cor
poration Might Have Had to Pay
$6,OOO, OOO--Ohio to Prosecute.


Findlay, Ohio BY decision OF
Judge Bankes the Standard OIL Com
pany of the state was fined $4,000
for preventing competition. The
prosecution expected that the fne
would include each day since July 6,
1903. when the company was notified
to stop its methods This would
have meant fine OF about $4,000
000
The fine imposed is the limit for
one offense, and the law stipulates
that each day Of the Illegal combina-
this is computed the possibility of
the $6,000,000 fine.
After imposing the fine the Court
ordered that the defendant company
be allowed forty days in which to-
prepare and file its bin of excep-
ti0ns in the case, and another motion
by the Standard lawyers, Joseph o.
Troup, of Bowling Green, Ohio, and
S. H. Toller, of Cleveland, the SEN
tence imposed was ordered suspended
for period Of sixty days for the pur-
pose of fling petition on error in
this case
1t was also ordered that the Grim
inal information pending against
John d. Rockefeller, the Buckeye
Pipe Line Company and the Manhat-
tan Oil Company be continued until
the next term of court.
The decision interests lawyers all
over the State. 1t had been the
opinion that suits under the Valen-
tine Antitrust law could be begun,
and then If the offending corporation
did not at once cease business it
could be found guilty and fined for
each days violation of the law at the
rate of $4,000 day
Judge Banker holds that a separ-
ate conviction must be obtained for
every separate offense. He holds that
the Valentine law is SO planned that
the fines are not cumulative. In
other cases which have been tried. in
Ohio under the Valentine law, it has
been held. that separate convictions
are not necessary, and that corpor-
alton found guilty of being a trust
must pay a fine for each day on
which the law was violated.

San Francisco Insurance.

Forty-five o. the 1876 odd insurance
companies involved in the San Iran
cisco disaster had by the first of this
month paid an aggregate of $685.
665, 400 on their losses there, includ-
ing $1,486,529 by the Springfield
Fire and Marine Company Several
of the larger companies are not in
cluded in the list, so that the actual
payments to date considerably ex-
coed $500, 100000, and this. is not
the end of the disbursements. San
Francisco has thus already received
more than double the total amount
of insurance paid to Chicago on ac-
count of the great FIRE OF 1871
Springfield Republican.

The World as 1t is.

A world without mistakes and
without suffering would be a world
without real men and women, with
out literature, without music, with
sout painting or sculpture and with
out love, and even without history,
for history is record of struggles
toward better and higher things.
Without obstacles to overcome and
errors to correct men and women
would lapse to level with beasts
in mentality. Intellectual and spir-
itual development would cease and
souls not refined by the fire of or
deals would die of something akin to
fatty degeneration. The races would
perish Of ennui or insanity. After
all, it's pretty fair sort OF world
as it stands. -Louisville Courier
Journal.

FIGHTING ENGLISH SOAP TRUST
Newspaper Publicity Aiding Firms
Which Oppose Combine.

London. Great public interest has
been aroused here by the efforts of
the English press to wreck the newly
formed English soap combine. The
trust began operations by issuing
soap in packets of fifteen ounces to
the pound and by adopting the GUS
tomary methods to coerce the smaller
manufacturers into joining.
But goodly number of prominent
firms have stood out and are being
rewarded by free advertisements in
the daily papers, which publish lists
of the firms outside the combination
and urge the public to confine their
soap purchases to them The con-
sumption Of trust soaps has been Sc
riously affected by this boycotting
campaign, and already the short
weight packages have been with
drawn from sale.

GET BODIES FROM SUBMARINE.
Remains Of Inflated Crew Horribly
Burned by Acids.

Bizerta, Tunis. Six bodies were
removed from the French submarine
boat Lutin, which sunk off this port
October 16, with fourteen men and
two officers on board
The bodies Of the commander,
Lieutenant Fepoux, and four men
were found clustered amidships. Six
other bodies were found in the stern,
and the remainder in the bow. All
were in a horrible condition, owing
to the action Of acids. The identi-
fication was by means of objects
found on the corpses Most of the
men were barefooted. The indica-
tons are that they met their death
instantly.
The opinion prevails that the Lutin
tried to come to the surface too rap
Idly, and that her stern consequently
struck on the bottom. This caused
rivets to start and plates to burst.
Six leaks were found in the huh.

A German Predicts That Asia and
Africa WIN Make Great Strides.

Professor Theodore Schiemann, of
Berlin, Germany, in his monthly re-
view of foreign affairs, makes some
interesting speculations in regard to
the changes which win probably take
place in the world by the time the
Kaiser's grandson, who was born on
July 4, ascends the throne as William
Nv.
The professor thinks it is clear that
the peoples of Asia and Africa will
increase in power and strength The
victory Of the yellow Japanese has
stirred them and European civiliza-
ton, which is iinparting new knowl-
edge to the lower races, will inevita-
bly, produce far reaching effects. It
will be far more difficult, the profess
sor says, for Great Britain, France
and Russia to maintain supremacy
over the Asiatic and African races
than now.
The Hindu Banerji was recently
crowned King Of Bengal. The Eng
lish laughed at the fact, but none can
deny that there will be real rule by a
native king of Bengal after two gem
erations. The influence of Japan's
victory will also extend to Persia
and Afghanistan, and pan-Asiatic
movement is becoming possible in
India, Chisa, Persia and Afghanistan.
In fact, all Asiatic peoples are looking
forward to termination of European
rule.
In the same way in North Africa,
throughout the area from the Medi-
terranean west to Timbuctoo, a great
pan-Islamic movement is gaining
Roadway, while at the same time an
Ethiopian movement among the me-
groes in South Africa is steadily
gaining in strength, and the only
white race with future in South
Africa is the Dutch.
Professor Schiemann proceeds to
argue that surprising changes will
take place in North America Both
the United States and Canada are in
danger Of losing their Anglo-Saxon-
ism and becoming a tower of Babel
for Germans, Irish, Italians, Span
iards, Slavs, Negroes and Jews. The

mercial communication with the
countries of the Far East and dis
turb the balance Of power in the Pa
cific Ocean.
Professor Schiemann prophesies
that wars and revolutions in Europe
will lead to important changes in the
Balkan peninsula. Far reaching
changes are also probable in Austro-
Hungary and Russia, but in general
Europe will present the same appear
ance when William Nv. ascends the
throne that it does to-day.
