Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-The Standard
Oil company has taken steps toward &C.
curing ownership of all the principal
distilling plants in the United States.
This announcement was made in dis
surprise to those who were unaware that
a conference had been held in Chicago
between representatives of the ,distil
ling interests and the Standard Oil
company for the purpose Of trying to
agree on terms.
A price has been set on every distn-
lery in Peoria, trust and independent
house, and the present Indications are
that the deal will be effected and all
plants pass into the hands Of the Stan
dard Oil company within ten days., !.
on, but it was not until last Friday the
distillers placed price on their plants
in conference held, in Chicago. This
conference was attended by distillers
from PEORIA Cincinnati, Terra Hau%e,
Louisville and other distilling points.
They met the Standard Oil representa-
tives and made price on their plants
Aims at Alcohol Bill.
It is said unofficially that the prices
on the plants were considered too high
latter threatened, If suitable. terms
could not be reached, to build .distil-
ling houses Of their own and drive the
distillers out of business. . VI
The chief reason for this activity on
the part Of the Standard is the de-
natured alcohol bill, recently adopted
by congress. The Rockefeller interests
engaged expert chemists, and after ex-
perimenting, they have reported that
the product cannot be manufactured
cheap enough to make it serious com
petitor of gasolene, but that it could
be used in the manufacture of mercer
lied cotton and other fabrics and; that
it would be an extremely favorable
product to control.

Chicago, where the monthly meeting of
both trust and independent distillers
was held. It is stated by local owners
Of distilleries that attorneys for the
Standard Oil company have approached
distillers, asking them if they would en-
terrain a proposition to buy their
plants Practically all have replied in
the affirmative. It is the opinion Of
the distillers here that the Standard
made the overtures with the probable
intention Of engaging largely in the
manufacture of denaturalized alcohol.

GIRL KILLS GENERAL
Shoots Officer Down in Station at

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-General
Min, commander of the Seminovsky
guard regiment and personal adiutant
to the suite of the cZar, was shot to
death by a mere slip of a girl at the
Peterhof railway station last night.
The assassination is directly in line
with proclamation issued by the cen
trail committee of the, social revolu-
tionists, which declares that unless the
government forthwith alters its policy
such acts as the attempt on Premier
Stolypln s life will be pursued to the
utmost and government representatives
will be killed by hundreds. .:t.-.
The girl who killed General Min was
an expert shot. She fred five bullets
into the body of the general and her
aim was so effective that any one Of
the bullets would have been fatal.

The assassin was captured at once
and the capture was due to the prompt
action of General Min s wife, who

officer arrived. 49,

Revolution by Bomb.

Journal Special Service.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 27:-Revolution
by revolt is dead; revolution by terror
ism is revived. Such is the situation
in Russia today.
A frustrated attempt by revolution
lists, armed with bombs, to kill the car
at the same time the attack was made
on the PREMIER; the attempt on the life
of Premier Stolypin, with it's frightful
results; the shooting of General Min,
an adjutant of the czar's personal
staff; the assassination Of General Won
Liariarski, military governor general
of Warsaw; the plot to kill General
Kanlbars at Odessa, which miscarried
thru the nervousness of the girl who
eight hours-appear to be part of a
gigantic plot involving the lives Of all
heads Of the government from the car
downward. Since the car dissolved
the douma, he no longer enjoys immu-
nifty from the terrorists. -.
Prior to the dissolution of that body
the reds did not want the czar killed.
Now his name heads the list of these
marked for slaughter.
Gear Has Narrow Escape.
simultaneously with the attack upon
Premier Stolypin's villa Saturday, an
attempt was made to enter Peterhof
palace and kill the car.
The attempt proved unsuccessful, for
the palace guards, cautioned to observe
unusual vigilance, arrested one of the
two would-be assassins near the palace
WALL where he was crouching waiting
to effect an entrance. He was armed
with bomb concealed in a basket Of
fruit. Later his accomplish was found
inside the park, crouching under the
branches of a fir tree. Both men were
quickly identified as notorious mem
bers of the Moscow terrorists.
It is apparent that the social revolu-
tionists have determined to abandon
their former plan for general armed
outbreak against the government on
the ground Of it's cost to themselves.
For it does not cost the government
proportiOnately nearly so much for
troops to subdue such outbreaks as it
costs the revolutionists to foment them.
On the other hand, bombs are cheap,
bomb-throwers always ready at hand,
and nearly always they can escape in
the excitement following an assassina-
ton.
Police Are Puzzled.
The secret police are at their wits ,
ends, trying to discover the bomb fac
tories and the organization thru which
the bombs are distributed turnout the
country. AS shown by the Stolypin
explosion, the bombs are extraordinarily
powerful and are undoubtedly the
handiwork Of skilled chemists who sup
ply terrorist camps in every city in the
empire.

Immediately he started to repair his
