TO REVOKE CHARTERS
ACTION BEGUN IN OHIO AGAINST
STANDARD OIL AND AFFiL-
lated COMPANIES.
SECRET TRADE AGREEMENT ALLEGED
DEFENDANTS ACCUSED OF EN-
TERlNG INTO ILLEGAL PACT
TO FIX PRICES.

Toledo, O., April 30.-Alleging that
the Standard Oil company and seven
teen affiliated companies have a secret
trade agreement by which they control
production and transportation OF oil
and gas Prosecutor l.. w. Wachen-
heimer of Lucas county has filed suit
In the circuit court asking revocation
of their charters and dissolution of the
illegal agreement. In addition to the
Standard the following corporations
are named as defendants: The Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, Toledo
and Ohio Central and Hooking Valley
Railroad companies. Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio, Indiana, New York and
New Jersey; Buckeye Pipe Line COM
pany, Solar Refining company, Ohio
Oil company, Northwestern Ohio Nat
ural Gas company, Union Tank com
pany of Pennsylvania. Indiana Pipe
Line company of Indiana, the National
Transit company of New jersey, Penn
sylvania Oil company of Pennsylvania
and the South Penn Oil company of
Pennsylvania
In the petition it is alleged that the
production of oil was reduced for the
purpose of increasing the price to con-
sumers. 1t Is set UP that this reduc-
tion amounts to so per cent. while the
price of gas to the consumer public
has been increased 100 per cent.
Fixed Rates Agreed On.
Reference to the alleged trade pact
IL sensational The charge is made
that the companies named as defend
ants have bound themselves not to
sell or transport oil or gas below a
certain standard rate.
Queries are directed, In the petition,
to the railroad companies presidents,
asking them whether rebates are
given, directly or indirectly, to the oil
companies and whether the oil con-
Germs have not been given pipe line
rights on the railroads.
It developed during the afternoon
that Prosecutor Wachenheimer filed
the suits against the Standard Oil and
other companies on behalf Of Attor-
ney General Ellis. This is especially
significant, together with the an
nouncement from the prosecutor that
the case will be prosecuted with all
possible dispatch. The fact that the
state is behind the Toledo prosecuting
attorney in the action gives it strength
which otherwise it would not possess.
Judge Shaufelberger Of the law firm
Of Doyle & Lewis, which represents a
majority of the companies named as
defendants, has announced that the
case will be fought to the bitter end
by the corporations named as defend
ants.

FREIGHT RATES ExORBITAMT
MITCHELL SUGGESTS METHOD OF
GRANTING SMALL ADVANCE
ASKED BY MINERS.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 3O.-Presi-
dent Mitchell has received the reply
of the coal operators to the proposals
made by the scale committee of the
miners. Later President Mitchell gave
out statement, saying in part:
Il have received, read and formally
acknowledged President Baer's answer
to the last demands made upon the
operators by the miners. 1t appears
perfectly evident that the operators
have not changed their attitude in any
particular during the past six years
and that the strikes of 1900 and 1902
were no lesson to them. Every con-
cession has been wrung from them by
strikes and the pressure OF public SEN
timent
THE railroad coal combination not
only fixes arbitrarily the price at
which coal is sold to consumers, but
seeks to Ak arbitrarily the price at
which labor shall be bought. The
question Is asked by the operators,
where is the advance to come from?
1t Is charged up to the consumer OF
domestic coal. 1t occurred to me that
the small advance proposed by the
miners might have been taken of the
exorbitant freight rates charged by
them
Personally am much disappointed
and am sure all mine employees ex
pected more consideration than they
have received"

Dinner Given Archbishop ireland BY
Ambassador White.
Rome, April 30.--As was expected
the dinner given by Ambassador White
to Archbishop Ireland, at which four
cardinals were guests, has caused con-
siderable stir. The Giornala d Italia
interviewed Archbishop Ireland, who
said:
Mr.. White, who has honored me
with his friendship, invited me on
Wednesday to private dinner"
Being asked II Americanism is not
the modern tendency of Catholicism In
America Archbishop Ireland said:
THAT is a mistake. American
Catholicism is neither modern nor
ancient It Is loyalty to the pope"
Cardinal Satolli also was inter
viewed by the Giornala d. Italia and
said:
"Mr. White asked us to dinner for
the purpose Of honoring Archbishop
Ireland. In America all. beginning
with President Roosevelt, love Arch
bishop Ireland"
Cardinal Vannutelli said:
"The dinner was given by Mr.. White
as private person to his friend and
he invited us both as friends OF Arch
bishop Ireland and himself. We &C

One Thousand Immigrants Deported
From New York

New York, April 20.-One thousand
immigrants were deported during the
day as contract laborers, this deporta-
tion being one Of the largest ever
made under the contract labor laws.
They were detected during the record
breaking spring inrush of immigrants
which has been pouring through Ellis

fortnight. The men came mostly from
Greece, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Ser
via and were attracted to this coun-
try, the immigration authorities

San Francisco, April 30.-There was

most disagreeable nights. since the
great fire. A cold wind blew from the
north until late hour and it was with
difficulty that the people camping out,
especially on the ground, kept warm
Additional blankets and other cover

The night was the quietest In the
city since the strict patrol was estab-
lished. There was practically no FIR

were made and these only for minor
offenses.
Street Cars in Operation.
Street cars are in operation and the
confusion and congestion In the un
burned district was less noticeable.
Many of the business firms have
opened their Offices In residences and
began Strengthening out their affairs
with the view of resuming business as
soon as possible.
The real estate board met the Whole
salers' association during the day to
discuss resuming business on this side
OF the bay. The offer of citizens OF
Oakland Of large tract of land on
that side OF the bay to the wholesalers
had stirred the real estate men to the
importance Of immediate action to re-
tain these firms In San Francisco.
From present indications 1t seems
that there will be no difficulty In arriv'
ing at some sort Of understanding be-
tween these two important bodies.
There were fewer reports during the
day OF falling walls. most Of the dan
gerous ruins having already been
razed.

RemodellinR the Nose.

1T is not more than five years since
| physician Of Vienna hit upon the idea oil
! injecting paraffin into the flesh as sub
stitute for the fbrous tissue in the llvlns
body Because OF an accident the treat
ment was for a while most unpopular, but
previous to this a number OF remarkable
operations were performed. The physician
published the history Of more than thirty
successful cases treated In this way, IN
which "clefts and fistulae were narrowed
cavities here and there were filled up,
smallpox marks were taken out, sunken
noses were remodelled, the falling in of the
cheek after removal of the upper jaw was
repaired and nerve divided for the relief
Of neuralgia was prevented from growing
together again"
An eminent English surgeon, who has
had much success in the same line OF
work, in an address which he gave before
the Medical Graduates College not long
ago gave his experience with forty-three
cases Of sunken nose and three prolapses'
Among these cases there we're no deaths,
no sloughing Of the skin AMI the results
were permanent and good. Some cases
which seemed hopeless we're eminently
successful and some which locked easy
were found to be insuperably hard. 1t Is
anxious work and heavy responsibility al
tering the shape Of peoples noses, and the
surgeon must be content II he succeeds n
making a nose that shall be merely unno-
tleeable.
1t is no small matter to accomplish this
much, for the patients have sad stories to
tell of the ridicule, the staring in the
streets and III natured laughter which
make their lives a burden. But with a
nose which, If not a Greek model, Will at
least permit the owner to go through life
unnotlced and freed from contempt the
surgeon has earned eternal gratitude.
Parafln Is a difficult material to use
and there are many tricks in the use of
] IL which must be learned before sur
geon can remodel noses. So often some
/ thing goes wrong just at the last moment;
a syringe leaks or cracks, the paraffin
sets in the needle or escapes above the
piston. or otherwise fails to do what It
should. The method OF injection, says this
authority, Is much the same, whether a
sunken nose is to be remodelled or a
sinus Is TO have Its walls brought into
opposition or a prolapse is to be held up.
The paraffln is put in water that is well
above it's melting point, but not hot enough
to crack the bottle. Everything being
ready, draw up four or five cubic cent?
metres of paraffin; then hold the syringe
under water adjust the screw-nut and
press out drop or two OF parafiin to rake
sure that II is all right; then dip your
needle for six or eight seconds into water
that is boiling or Just off the boil, and
then make the injection
