cation the Tru I May Be Kept
Out Of the state.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 26-As the result
ness methods of the Standard and the
Republic Oil companies Attorney Cen
eral Wade Ellis may take action to
oust both from Ohio.
Ellis said at Columbus tonight that
he would tomorrow telegraph Attor-
ney General Hadley OF Missouri, ask
ing him TO come here next Tuesday
for q conference on the matter.
Il will at once get possession Of
the facts" said Mr.. Ellis, "if the dis
closures made during the Cleveland
hearing this week show any basis up
on which the law department can
found an action against either the
Standard or Republic companies, or
their officers, or agents, il will be
brought promptly"
Attorney General Hadley said to-
night that he would give Mr.. Ellis
all the testimony and assistance in an
investigation that he might want.
Members of the Scofield, Shurmer &
Teagle firm testified to throttling
methods OF the trust at the oil hear
ing today. They said that the Stand
ard used every means possible TO get
customers away from them and that
frequently they were forced to cut
rates to meet Standard prices.
Scores of independent agents have
written Mr.. Hadley of the great in
crease in their business since he has
begun to use the probe against the
richest and biggest trust IN the world.
These agents report that their custom
+ers have refused to buy oil OF the al
IL ged independent companies, that
have been shown to be branches OF
the Standard.
In telling why he did not call Frank
Rockefeller, James Corrigan ana
President Noe, of the Navarro OH
Co., Mr.. Hadley said tonight: Those
men could tell much about other af-
fairs of the Standard but not much
about the cases in which l am in
terested. If the fugitives from serv-
ice can be found--John ID. Rockefeller
included-I will return and take their
depositions."
Attorney General Hadley and A..
sistant Attorney General Lake left
tonight for Chicago. They expect to
spend tomorrow there and then return

MRS, M'KINLEY
May Save the Official Life of Collector
McCord at Cleveland.

Cleveland, o.. Jan. 26.-Mrs. Ida
Mckinley, of Canton, Ohio, widow
of the martyred president saved the
official mte of Frank McCord OF this
city, collector of internal revenue Tor
this district four years ago, and she
bids fair to be the means OF having
him retained in Office another four
years. Both of Ohio's senator's, Dick
aid Foraker, had decided to rec
ommend another person for the posi-
tion, and under the circumstances
would in ali probability name their
choice. But, IL leaked out today, Mrs.
Mckinley wrote letter TO the presi-
dent several days ago. pleading that
McCord be continued in Office and it
now seems that she will again have
her wal. McCcrd was slated to go four
years ago, but was again given the
position through her efforts.
McCord had the lasting gratitude OF
the Mckinley family 20 years ago
when he sOundly thrasbed a man who
made uncomplimentary remarks about
Major Mckinley, then a Congression-
al candidate. McCord was given the
appointment originally through Nc
Kinley's influence. IL is believed that
Dick, at least, will now yield to Mrs.
McKinley's wishes, as he was a warm
friend Of her husband.

on deck at the time smoking a cigar
and was looking at my watch when
the first crash came. In an instant all
was excitement.
'Tnere were the shrieks OF frighten-
ed men and women; the walls OF little
children and the hoarse oroers of the
officers.
''1he vessel reeled like a drunken
man, slid over the reef and struck
again. The command to back her OF
was given and she went astern full
speed. but too late.
"The water was pouring In forward
like a mill-raee and with a sound
which drowned all else. The wind
swung the vessels stern to the beach
and her head 10 the waves, This saved
many lives, as she was then swept
back to shore and struck once again
In such a position that she remained
partly above water and on an even
heel. Every wave now washed clear
over her and many people who hasti-
iy rushed ON deck went To their deaths
without time TO murmur a prayer
"The order was then given TO get out
he boats. TWO OF them on the ve ther
side were launched and smashed IKE

FORWARD PASS
To Be Favored by Football Coaches
at Their Coming Meeting.

Chicago, Jan. 2G.-Western football
coaches and managers met to
make suggestions of the rules to be
taken east tor consideration at the
New York meeting of the big commit

The coaches decided to let their rep
resentatives go east with their sug-
gestlons and first present them there
before giving them out here. 1t was
learned, however, that the discussion
favored the forward pass in football.
This is a startling innovation in the
game and one figured to open it up
more than any other one feature.
The sentiment of the western men
seemed unanimous on the subject.
