Findlay, O., October 9.-The suit OF
the state of Ohio against the Standard
Oil Company of Ohio, in which the
company is charged with conspiracy
against trade, began here today and
progressed at a rapid pace.
A jury was secured in less than two
hours, County Prosecutor W. L. David
presented his case; Virgil P. Kline, at
torney for the defense made answer:
Attorney G.. H. Phelps of the prosecu-
ton then read documentary evidence
until the court adjourned.
Mr.. David stated to Inc jury that
the Standard Oil company became a
trust in 1882 and although it had sew
eral times since changed b form OF
its organization, had not ceased to
commit the offenses o u trust.
Replying, Mr.. Kline characterized
as mere matters of ancient history the
relation of the original formation of
the trust. The Standard Oil company
he said, was a corporation controlled
entirely by it's stockholders; it was no
trust, it could not be said that any of
the statements of Mr.. David relative
to the early history of the organiza-
ton were true, but il they Were. they
were not within the limits Of Hancock
county, and consequently without the
Jurisdiction of the court. The COM
pany, he said, sold some oil at retail
in the country, might own some real
estate here, but the statement that it
WIS in any combination in restraint OF
trade was entirely unsupported by the
facts.
The documentary evidence which the
prosecution began submitting, and
which is stated constitutes the bulk OF
their case, is contained in a document
authenticated by the supreme court
of the state as the history OF thu
Standard Oil litigation before thai
body.
It was all objected to by the defense
as prevalent but allowed to go in bJ
Judge Banker, presiding. The docu
ments read to the jury today, which
occupied the whole of the Afternoon
session following the statement of tn
case by both sides, included the origi
nal trust agreement of 1882, the plead
ings in the case before the suprem
court in 1892 which resulted in the or
der to dissolve the trust: the plead
ings before the same court in 1897 re
splitting in a journal entry by the u
that the trust had been dissolved.
The i~nterrogators propounded I
John D. Rockefeller during the 1itiga
ton, which the prosecution desired t
be read, had just been reached Whe
adjournment was taken until 9 ocloc
tomorrow.
MI. Kline indicated that there woul
he much to be said before these wei
allowed in the record, "as we are eI

The trial attracted very little publ
attention during the morning session
but for a short time in the afternoo

evidence discouraged public interes

that disorders by Cubans be suppress

has ever had, surrounded by a talent
ed company. Henrietta Crosman,
Americas foremost Coincidence,
comes to The Kentucky Tuesday
night. She will present a new mod
ern comedy, entitled "Mary, Mary,
Quite Contrary" In this play Miss
Crosman has made her biggest tri-
umph. She has made other big hits,
notably in Mistress Nell" "As You
Like 1t" and Sweet Kitty Bellairs,"
but none of these equal the popular
ity that has come to her in her lat
est play.
Miss Mar, the character assumed
by Miss Crosman In the comedy. is
a young woman of position who has
been pursued by so many suitors
that she has fortified her heart
against all. In like state does Her
bert Danvers feel that he has en-
cased himself because of a fancied
love AFFAIR of few years ago.
These two meet. Through a series
of amusing complications, smart
battle of wits, rapid sequence OF
droll situations in which many in
teresting persons are involved, these
two are at length trapped into
declaration of love. The comedy is
one of the cleverest OF recent times.
1t sparkles throughout and all the
characters in the play are entertain
ing. They will be exceliently played.
for the company Is made up of well
known persons. Miss Crosman al
ways has an excellent company, ana
she never fails to mount her plays
magnificently.

James O'Neill has played the part
of Edmund Dantes in Monte Cristo'
almost 5000 times from New York
to San Francisco and back again. It
is a world record. During that period
he has achieved a reputation that is
as enviable as 1t is well deserved.
Time and again Mr.. O'Neill has de-
sired TO throw the mantle of the
Count of Monte Cristo from his
shoulders, but each time the public
has insisted that he put It on again.
The plaN-goers recognize the fact
that there is no other romantic actor
in America today whom they wish to
see impersonate this character.
