 Freezes Out Competition.
 The assertion Is made that 1t IS the practice of the Standard whenever competitor erects a storage tank to which the oil is transferred from the tank car to reduce the price or oil m m that locality to such point as 10 make the business unprofitaoie to such d competitor, while prices were main fained in other localities. There was much complaint that the railroads al lowed the Standard to erect its tanks right of way and declined to accord this privilege to the Independent refln- era The commission says 1t is satls- fled that such discrimination mas been very generally practiced in the past.
 The report shows that At present every considerable railroad in the Uni ted States is buying of the Galena Oil Company, one of the Standard compa- Nfes most of. it's lubricating and signal oils. the prices paid for lubricating oil which is of three grades, being sub stantially the same to the various roads. The contracts generally contain d guaranty to the road that the cost of fabrication shall not exceed cer- tain sum per mile or engine mile, ana provide for oil inspectors appointed oy the oil company to supervise the use of inc oil. The Galena company is rarely called upon to pay anything un- der the guaranty, and the prices oD- 4ained by the oil company are extrav- agantly high. Oils of the same grade could be bought in the open market

TO PROTEST
nfRMxNGHAM DELEGATES AR
 ArvEs IN MONTGOMERY.
Flrst Cry of Alarm Against Tending Legfslatisn Ccmes From Magic Cfty--Four Employers' Lia-
 biItty Act.

The first protesting cry against pending Legislation comes from Birm- inghs~, which was to be expected. A delegation Of Mading business men of the Magic City came down to Mont gomery yesterday to ask the Legisla- ture not to do certain things which would specially damage the Birmins- ham district
 Tn the delegation of prominent busi- ness men were W. H. Graves. J. R. smith. Morton Smith. J. D. Moore, w . T. Rushton, c. M. Brown, H. G. Seibels. C. s. Wilson and W. K. Terry.
 The delegation was specially inter ested in the employers liability act. This is regarded as one of the most far reaching bills yet introduced In the Senate. The charge has been made and printed that the passage of this act will do more for the professional damage suit lawyer than any other one thing. The bill proposes that an em- ploying company shall be responsible to man injured in its employ. Tor all damages which may result from the negligence of such masters or employ CTS or agent, servant. or employe or such master of employer. or by reason of an defect or insufficicncy. due to their negligence In the cars, engines appliances. machinery. tracks, roadbed' ways. works. vehicles, building or plant connected with, or used in the business of the master or employer.
 The bill provides further that the injured employe or his heirs can ra- cover from the corporation. damages even though the accident was caused by his own negligence. where his neg ligence was light, and that of the cor poration was great. The bill further says, 'all questions of negligence and contributory negligence shall be for the jury. and shall he presented under the general issue without any specific plea
 The law goes on to state that no con tract of employment, insurance, relief benefit or indemnity for death or in jury, shall constitute any bar or de- fens to any action brought fo recov- CT damages for death or injuries.
 Such are the principal features or the bill Any lawyer will recognize in them far reaching changes from the present code.
 The industrial corporations of the Birmingham district are claiming the l'biIl puts them In an unfair position in all damage suits, and they are claiming the enactment of the law will seriously i affect their we'll being,
 The Birmingham delegation is also l protesting against the bill to forbid freight trains from running on Sunday ! in Alabama. They assert such law will do more damage to the Birming- ham district than to any other part Of

President Mel Says Measure Will Bs
 Contested.

GFG1AUS1t ENACA CNS~ N1~s-0~~ N'~-- - Contested.
 President R. E. L. Neil, of the Ala bama Press Association, last night gave out a statement in regard to the action of the Senate, refusing to adopt the amendment to the anti-pass bill which would permit editors of State newspapers tc exchange advertising space for transportation.
 He firmly declared his intention to fight the eonstItutioAalIty or the meas ure In the courts.
 He also expressed his views of the rumor circulated about the corridors of the Capitol yesterday to the effect that Governor Conner was preparing a meas ure to benefit the newspapers f!nan- cially at the expence of the railroads.
 The Alabama Press Association members" said President Neil. will not have their constitutional rights abridged at the dictation of absolute ly one man, if there are courts in this State of competent jurisdiction. and l know there are.
 ! If the House shall act as did the up | per body of the Legislature, and enact l a measure at the bidding of the Cover nor, generally according to be uncon- stitutional so far &s the newspapers are concerned, a test case will be in | stituted in the law courts, and per | rites on constitutional law whose op-
 inons have weight in this land may present the side of the newspapers in l the matter.
 The statement which has been going
 the rounds that the Governor proposes 1 to throw a sop to the newspapers in
 bill making 1t mandatory upon the rail- l roads tc publish their schedules in every paper located in counties through which they pass is in my opinion an
 insult to the newspapers of Alabama. It would be nothing more nor less than
 a hold-up of the railroads. and cannot
 be put in the same category with meas
 ures requiring commissioners courts
 and county and city treasurers to pub fish financial statements
 | The newspapers of Alabama are not
 asking largess from any body's hands
 They are standing upon their rights,
 guaranteed under the Constitution. and
 expect justice to be accorded them de-
 spite any inimicable power
 | President Mel stated 1t was probable
 a meeting of the executive committee
 would soon be called 10 discuss mat
 ters of vital importance regarding the

 The report severely arraigns the Standards methods of competition. On this point it says in part:
 The Standard has repeatedly. after becoming the owner of a competing g company, continued to operate 1t under the old name. carrying the idea to the public that the company was still in- dependent and competing with the Standard. It has used such purchased or Independently organized companies to kill off competition by such com pauies reducing prices.
 Methods of Destruction.
 The operation of such fake indepen- dent concerns has been one of its most effective means of destroying compe- tition. The Standard has habitually reduced the price against its competi- tor in a particular locality while main taining its prices at other places. When competition was destroyed it advanced or restored former prices. The Standard has sold different grades of oil at different prices from the same barrel. It has paid employees of inde- pendent oil companies for information as to the business of the competitors and has paid employees Of industrial companies to secure the adoption of it's oil in preference to that of its compet- itors. It has followed every barrel oi independent oil to its destination. Its agents are instructed to secure custo- mers at any sacrifice. It has tampered with the oil inspectors in different States. The laws of several States concerning the inspection of oil are singularly defective and this has been turned to profit by the Standard.
 "The commissions only Knowledge of the competitive methods of the Standard oil Company is obtained from evidence taken under oath in this i'm vestigation. zrhe Standard was given permission to expalin or rebutt the facts This evidence, is true demon strates that the competitive methods of the company in the past have been unfair and even disreputab!e. Its mot to has been the destruction of compe- tition at any cost and this policy has been pursued without much reference

GERMAN BALLOON WINS.

Pommern Covers 900 Miles to
Atlantic Coast In AZ Hours.
Germany won the second interna-
tional balloon cup contest from France
by the narrow margin OF five miles,
unofficial figures Third place also
went to Germany, while America had
to be content with fourth hoDors- The
single English entry was ninth and
last
The race Is pronounced by experts to
be the most remarkable in the history
of aeronautics. All racing records were
broken, both for length of flight and for
the time spent in the air. The worlds
non-competitive endurance record was
also shattered, although the worlds
non-competitive record for distance still
stands by big margin.
The German balloon Pommern landed
at Asbury Park, y. j. The balloon had
covered 900 miles in an air line from
st. Louis in forty-two hours, an aver.
age of nearly twenty-one and one-half
miles an hour. This established a rec.
ord for the race, the winning balloon In
last years initial race starting from
Paris covering an air line distance OF
only 402 miles. Mr.. ErbslOeh and his
aid, Prof. Clayton, thus carry Off the
international aeronautic cup and cash
prize Of $1,000. The result or the con.
test was determined by the number OF
air miles covered in the flights. The
French balloon L'Isle de France made
a remarkably game fight for premier
donors and came down in New Jersey,
but few miles from the Pommern. The
Pommern made an extraordinary fight
condition and could have added several
more hundred miles to its tally had the
open ocean not been ahead.
The reports show that an extremely
wide area Of country was covered by
the balloons, the points at which the
nine contestants landed being separated
by long distances. Besides the two bal
looms which came to earth In New Jer.
sey, two more descended in Virginia,
while two others landed in Maryland
One of the contestants descended In
Ohio, another in Delaware, while Major
II. B. Hersey reached the earth in On
tario. Major Hersey used the United
States. the same balloon in which he
won the race with Lieut.. Lahm last
year. He was eighth.
The victory of the German balloon
means that the race next year will be
held under the auspices Of the German
Aero Club. The international cup, which
is the gift of James Gordon Bennett,
must be won three times by the same
club to be held permanently.
