After 81 Consecutive Hours DELHI
Grafton a Jury so Decides.
Restraint of Trade-TriaI Marked
New Method of Procedure.

Ffndlay, Ohio. - BY the Fer-
dict of a jury the Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio is guilty of conspiracy
against trade in violation of the Val
entine antitrust law of Ohio. The
penalty is a fine of from $50 to $4,000
which may be repeated for each day
Of the offense or Imprisonment off
from six to IL months.
The Standard Oil company of Ohio
has given notice that it will file a
motion for i new trial. Under the
practice of the court the defendant
has three days to put this motion il
form. The next step will be for the
court to impose the penalty. The de-
fense will then take their. bill of ex-
ceptiOns to such rulings of Judge
Banker as they have objected to tho
circuit court of the state. The ap-
peal from this court is to the supreme
court of the state by which tribunal
there il no doubt the issue will ulti-
mately be decided.
To the state. the suit, the verdict
and the ultimate appeal is important
because it initiates an entirely new
method of proceeding against alleged
trade monopolies-that is, by in
formation and affidavit instead OF by

The very thought of the operating

her heart. AS one woman expressed
1T, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham' S

had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from

escaped serious operations.

Laundry work at hoi1e would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch. as It can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great

INDICTMENTS AGAINST

Chicago, Aug. 9.-An indictment
charging the Standard Oil Company
with receiving rebates in the form OF
non.payment of storage charges to
certain railroad companies was re-
turned by the federal grand jury be-
fore Judge Bethea yesterday afternoon.
The indictment came as surprise,
inasmuch as the grand jury only began
the investigation yesterday. The
Standard Oil Company is the only de-
PENDANT, no officials of the company
and no railroad companies OF omclais
being named. The bond OF the de-
PENDANT was fixed at $25, 600.
This was the case Investigated oy
the grand jury in Cleveland, O., where
it was found that the grand jury had
no jurisdiction. The testimony taken
there was transferred to Chicago and
the documents in evidence were lden-
tilted by witnesses who testified IN
Cleveland. It was on this testimony
and evidence that yesterdays indact-
ment was returned.
The Indictment contains nineteen
counts. each count constituting sep
arate charge. The true bill comes
under the Elkins law, which provides
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for
each violation. Should the govern
ment procure q conviction on the trial
4 maximum fine of $3.50, 600 may De
assessed.

JAPANESE OBJECT
Equal Treatment for Goods on Nortl

Equal Treatment for Goods on North
and South Manchuria Borders.
London, Aug. 9.-In a dispatch
from Tokyo the correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says it is stated with
authority that Japan will only consent
to the establishment of Chinese Gus
tom house at Port Dalny to levy duty
on foreign goods proceeding inland
beyond the Kwangtung peninsula on
condition that similar system be in
augurated at the southern frontier
railroad stations in Northern Man
churia.
It is asserted, the correspondent con-
tinues, that at present merchandise is
pouring into Manchuria over the 81
berian railroad both from European
Russia and Vladivostok without the
payment Of duty. It can therefore be
sold very cheaply. Russia's policy,
the correspondent continues. obvi-
ously is to isolate Port Dalny and di-
vert all the trade to Vladivostok in or
der to rob Japan of the fruits OF VIC
tory.
