SAYS NO TO AUT0ISIS
STATE FAIR BOARD REFUSES PER
MISSION TO HOLD q. A. r. WEEK
CONTESTS ON EIANILINE TRACK.

Members Of the Minneapolis Automo'
bile club are decidedly put out by the
refusal Of the board Of state fair man
ayers to aceede to their request for the
use of the grounds at Hamline during
G.. A. r. week. As mem ers Of the
club and Of the general entertainment
committee for the national G.. A. H.,
posed that the club put on an attractive
series of automobile events at Hamline
which would not only add to the gen
eral festivity Of the week, but provide
a good fund for the Improvement of
Hennepin county roads as well.
Inasmuch as the fairgrounds had
been used for an automobile meet less
than a month before the. fair OF last
year and the track for the state fair
Hamline, they anticipated no opposition
in securing the use Of the grounds foI
o four-days' program. In fact, so well
assured did they feel, that preliminary
negotiations were already. in progress
with an eastern manager who was to ar
range all details Of the affair. The
| general outline provided not only fol
speed contests, but tor obstacle races ICES
tire changing and quick-stopp1ng con
tests, endurance tests and numerous ode
stunts calling for great skill and fur

.PURDY in TOWN
ON TRUST TRAIL
LOOKING INTO STANDARD OIL
FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
First Assistant Attorney General of the
United States Is in Minneapolis Wis
iting Old Friends Probing Combines
Is Big Business.

Milton D. Purdy, first assistant attor-
ney general of the United States, is in
Minneapolis today, visiting his many
friends in his old home. Mr.. Purdy is
a graduate of the University of Min
nesota, was .later assistant county at
torney of Hennepin, and just previous
to his appointment at Washington, was
United States district attorney for Min
nesota. While here Mr.. Purdy is
guest at the Minneapolis club.
Since being at Washington, most OF
the railroad rebate and antitrust mat
tiers considered by the attorney gen
eral have gone thru Mr.. Purdy's hands.
He has Of late come into special ma
tional prominence as being associated
with Frank B. Kellogg of st. Paul in
making an investigation of the Stand
ard Oil company at the instigation Of
President Roosevelt. In view of the
fact that the matter is now only in
the Investigation stage, Mr.: Purdy had
discuss in a public interview.
''The Garfield report is what we are
looking into,'' said Mr.. Purdy today.
cit contains information on the Stand
ard Oil subject from practically every
part of the United States. ]. The report
is very voluminous. Every part of it
must be studied before it can even be
determined what character Of suits and
prosecutions, if any, can be started. -
Mr.. Purdy intimated that it was
probable the suits would be commenced
under the terms Of the Sherman anti
| trust act, prohibiting combinations in
| restraint of trade. .
"When Mr.. Kellogg and myself com
plete our examination Of the Garfield
report, we will submit our findings tx
the attorney general with such recon
mendations as we see fit. 1t will ther
be for the attorney general to say
tuted.' ~
"Will your researches include tn
subject Of railroad rebates alleged t.
have been made to the Standard Oh
company7'
"The interstate commerce commits
sion,' replied Mr.. Purdy, "has bee
making Investigations at Cleveland
and has brought to light evidence indi
eating that the railroads have charge
off their books at Chicago extensiv
storage charges which were mad
against the Standard Oil company
This, 7 believe, is. a matter which tn
