HOME WARE
HOUSERS fired.
District Meeting of A. S. of
E. so Decides.
Harmony no Longer Possible and
Step Taken as last
Resort.


less incessant wrangling there is a
complete severance between the A. s.
of f. tobacco growers with pooling
arrangements with the Louisville
Warehouse company and those who
have been pooling with the Daviess
County Equity Warehouse company
This separation was effected at the
Green River District Tobacco Grow
ers' association meeting on Monday.
This was done by vote of the dis
trict delegates which declared the
Daviess County Equity warehouse
people outside of the A. S. of E. be-
cause of alleged violation of the A. S.
of E. laws. This seemed to have been
the chief purpose for which the meet
ing was called, the "ousters" claiming
that this action was necessary to the
success of the A. S. of Il. in the dis
trict, and the "ousted' claiming that
they were doing more good by their
local warehouse plan for the A. S. of
E. principles than those who were
pooling at Louisville. The latter took
little. part in the meeting and SEEM
ed in different as to what was done.
They say that they are, attending
strictly to their own business and
intend to continue to do so. Both
sides seem to have gotten what they
want and should now be satisfied. In
the meantime, there will be a hot
contest to see which faction will get
the greater part of the 1907 crop
pledged to its pool.
The home warehouses; were ousted
in the following manner:
President Berry of the Daviess
county district offered a motion that
a stock company be formed of the
Equity men to handle the crop of to-
ling and spirited talk that Mr.. Berry
withdrew his motion. His first mo-
ton was to get the counties to con-
slider the moion and vote on it at
the next meeting.
Mr.. l.. n. Robertson made a motion
that a committee of eight be appoint
ed to meet the Home warehouse Off
Gals and get an understanding re-
garding the difficulty between the
two parties, which was done. The
committee after hours of conference
reported as follows:
I'VE, your committee, respectfully
report that after complete consid-
Grafton of the position and PROPOSE
lions of the board of directors of the
Home Warehouse company, we are
unable to reach any agreement sat-
isfactory to your committee and said
board. We, therefore, recommend
that the people composing the home
warehouse take no further part In
the meeting of the Green River dis
trict Tobacco Growers association of
the A. s. of E. until such time as
the board of directors of said ware
house company agree TO abide by the
constitution and bylaws of the to-
bacco growers association"
The report was adopted after much
discussion and wrangling.

Rev.. Wright Delivers a Sermon
Which Endears Him to the
Hearts Of Hartford X. P'S.

Agreeable to beautiful custom the
local lodge of knights Of Pythias OBJ
served last Sunday as memorial day
and decorated the graves Of their de-
narted brothers at lakewood and else
where. The day was damp and threat
ening rain, but the Methodist church
was we'll filled at II a. m. when the
lodge marched In, and were seated In
a, body. They presented a splendid
appearance being young men or those
in the prime of life. Each wore an
elegant badge of mourning. When
they entered, their banner was hung
in front of the stand draped in black,
This was surmounted by shield,work
ed In flowers Of red, yellow and blue,
the lodge colors, which was designed
by Mrs. ]. s. Glenn and Miss Dora
T.. Gibson. Enconsed in the shield OF
flowers were the letters "F. c. b." so
dear to every Pythian heart, in gilt
The church about the alter was sup
plied with sweet flowers.
The opening song Some sweet
Day." by the X. P. Quartet, composed
of Knights, Griffin, Walker, Pirtle and
Birkhead was well rendered, and as
the last note ddied away many OF the
congregation were in tears. Preiate
e. w. Ford delivered short, effec-
tive prayer, after which Miss Hattie
Barnett sang Zone Sweetly Solemn
Thought accompanied by Mr.. Ernest
Fields with his violin.
The roster of departed knights, w.
A. Gibson, James A. Smith, w. H.
Bonner, DR.. Will King, John r. Morton
and Sam s. Cox was read by Keeper
of Records and Seal c. M. Grove, CIV
ing date when Knighted and time
and place of death.
Crossing The Bar" by the Quartet
was enjoyed by all and the sentiment
was we'll adapted to the occasion.
The sermon, by Rev. Wright, Pastor
of the Christian church, and who is
himself an enthusiastic Knight, was
beautiful and appropriate. His text
was; LET Brotherly Love Prevail.
The address was full of splendid
thought and furnished to those who
do not belong to the order, much in
formation concerning its work for
humanity. He told the beautiful story
of Damon and Pythias and advan-
ced the idea that the fact that the
church had failed to do her duty gave
rise to fraternities. He cited the bible
story of the good Samaritan and said
the Priest and Levite were not
Knights of Pythias, but that the
Samaritan was one, or at least he had
a Pythian heart.
At the close of the sermon the en-
tire congregation sang Nearer My
God to Thee"
Miss Carrie Woerner presided at the
organ during all the musical select
ions, and her services were much APP
preciated by members of the order.
At o'clock the graves of those
Knights who are buried at lakewood
were handsomely decorated with
choice flowers.
The entire program was carried out
i'm an effective manner, without a
hitch, and but for the inclement wealth
er the day could not have been better.

OIL TRUSTS PROFITS
Prosecutor Kellogg Succeeds in
Revealing Them.
AMOUNTED TO IMMENSE SUM
sn the Eight Years Ending in 1906 the
Octopus Earned Nearly Half a
Billion Dollars.
AMOUNTED TO IMMENSE SUM

New York, Sept 18.-Delving into
the financial workings of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the hold
ing company of all the subsidiary or
CARNATIONS of the so-called oil trust,
Frank B. kellogg, who is conducting
the federal suit for the dissolution OF
the company, brought forth Tuesday
to public view for the first time the
enormous profits made BY the Stand
ard Oil company. In period of
eight years from 1899 to 1906 inclu-
sive, the Standard Oil company in a
statement spread upon the record of
Tuesdays hearing, was shown to have
earned the total of S490,315,934, or at
the rate of more than $61,00O,000 a
year and distributed to it's sharehold-
ers in tile same period $30S,354, 4O3.
While the company was earning
these vast sums in the refining of oil
the statements adduced at the hearing
Tuesday show that between 1899 and
1906 the assets Of the company grew
| by leaps and bounds from $2O0,7 !,
523 to 1871 ,a64,531. The capital stock
is s98,338,386
Financiers and those seeking knowl-
edge Of the exact profits of the Stand
ard Oil company have striven vainly
to obtain the figures which Mr.. Kel-
logg succeeded Tuesday in placing up
on the record Of the court. The Stand
ard Oil company makes no statement
of its business and other than these
declarations of dividend, it makes no
public announcement by which its
business may be gagged.

point the cage had sheer drop to the

EvADEs EDIcT OF COURT.
Standard Oil Company Still Doing
Business in Texas.


New York, Sept. 20.-Evidence was
adduced at the hearing of the federal
suit against the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey, which Frank B. Kel-
logg. who is conducting the govern
ment's action, says tends to prove
that the Standard Oil company is op-
Grating in Texas under the name of
the Corsicana Refining company. The
Texas antitrust laws forbid the Stand
ard Oil company from doing business
within that state Mr. Kellogg devel-
oped from Wesley M. Tilford, treas
urer of the Standard Oil company,
that H. c. Folger and c. M. Payne,
who. Mr.. Kellogg said, We're the own
ers of the Corsicana company, are Off
Gals OF the Standard Oil company.
Mr. Kellogg further developed the
fact that John D. Rockefeller owned
more than one-fourth interest in the
old Standard Oil trust. Mr.. Tilford
testified that 1t was correct that Mr.
Rockefeller owned 256,854 shares out
of total of 972,5OO shares of Stand
ard Oil trust certificates in 1892 and
that later an assignment was made
transferring to Mr. Rockefeller his
proportionate interest in the stocks
OF the subsidiary companies
