THIS STRIKE MAY
BE NEARING END
Agreement Looking to Settle
ment iii Telephone War
Prepared.
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
THE BELL COMPANY TODAY
If Agreeable, Tedious Routine
of Acceptance Will Delay
Settlement.

1t begins to look as if the end of the
linemen s strike against the Rocky
Mountain Bell and Utah Independent
Telephone companies may be In sight
Following the conference between
Charles A. Elmore, a special representa-
tive of the electrical workers sent here
from California by the grand officers,
and General Manager D. S. Murray Of
the Bell on Wednesday, Mr.. Elmore
drew up an agreement between the dis"
trict council of the electrical workers of
Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming
and the telephone companies for basis
of settlement, The new agreement, by
which it is hoped to effect an adjust
ment of the trouble, will be presented
by Mr.. Elmore TO General Manager Muir
ray today. probably this morning.
The agreement embraces two points:
the wage question, which was the bone
OF contention that brought about the
strike, and time. Mr.. Elmore, when
asked particularly about the contents of
tie agreement Thursday night, said he
would rather not dIvuge the details
Just now, for the reason that it bad
not been submitted to the telephone
ana Inc1r OF re-
lection of tie terms is a matter of un-
certainty. Il is not known to the pub
lie whether or not the agreement con-
templates reduction IN the advance
in wages asked by the linemen. Mr..
Elmore said the time for which the
agreement may run is fNei for an in
definite period.
Must Satisfy Companies.
The new agreement must first satisfy
the companies. If they agree to it's
terms it must be ratified by every local
IN the district. Finally, it will come
back to the district council for final
approval, guaranteeing the carrying out
of its terms. AS this routine will re-
quire about two weeks time, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that if the agree
ment is satisfactory to everybody con-
cerned. it will be near the middle OF
July before the final settlement is
brought about.
Mr.. Elmore said Thursday night that
in the event OF the failure of the new
agreement to effect a settlement. he will
return TO his home at Oakland and
Grand President Sullivan or the vice
president, Mr.. McNulty, will come here
TO take up further action in the matter.

NO RESTRAINT OF TRADE

St. Louis. July 1j.-The answer of the Standard Oil company anG it's allied com panies and officers to the action brought against them here by the federal depart ment of justice was filed today. Taking up each Of the specific allegations of the complaint. it denies the defendants have engaged in any conspiracy in restraint of trade In oil; that 1t has attempted to stine competition by compelling compet- itors ta sell out and that it has crushed competition.
 Specific denial is made that in 1876 and 1871 the Erie anI New York Central rail- road companies made preferential rates to the Standard oil company on ship ments of oil from western Pennsylvania to New York as low as 20 cents per bar rel for oil while competitors were com pelled to pay $1.40 to sl.75 for similar shipments The higher rates are de- clared to have ueen well known to all shippers as nominal and that they knew that the actual rates were matters of special arrangements between the ship pers and the railroads because of the -.es then prevailing between railroads anxious to secure oil traffic.

GIVEN FIVE DAYS IN JAIL

San Francisco, July 15.-Emil Zlmmer, who is vice president of the Pacific States Telephone company, when called to the stand today by District Attorney Henry in the case of Louis Glass, also Il vice president of the telephone company, re- l fused to be sworn or to testify and was sentenced tc five Idss Imprisonment for contempt or court. On Zimmer's testf- mony the prosecution depended to estah- fish the vital claim that Glass approved the disbursement of the $5O0G0 bribery money alleged to have been paid to super visors by Agent r. v. Halsey. s5O00 Of which Mayor BoXton has testihed to ac- cepting.
 MT. Iimmer turned from the clerk who was about to administer the oath, and said to Judge Lawler
 "Meaning no disrespect to the court 1 have decided not to be sworn. My reason is that the grand jury has seen fit to in dict some gentlemen without sufficient eV- idence, and therefore o Irotect myself, | have desded not to take he stand"
 Intense silence reigned for part of a minutes. Then Assistant District Attor- ney Henry sprang to his feet.
 This" he said in loud voice, twas | advised when he was before the grand jury. that he did not consider his testi- mony such would tend to subject him to prosecution for a felony. In view of the fact we consider his conduct at this time as highly improper, and We ask that he be instructed to take the oath"
 "The witness will be sworn. and then we will determine his attitude" ruled Judge Lawler
 Clerk Martin Weeh administered the oath to Zimmer, and he took the stand Zimmer refused however, to testify, though he declared that In so doing he meant no disrespect to the court. Judge Lawler said:
 You are guilty of contempt in the pres enee of the court, and are subject to summary punishment"
 Judge Lawler then ordered that Zimmer be "committed to the county jail for u term of five days. and until he answers the said questions according to law"
 zlmmer was then taken to jail.

He testified that the books of the com pany were destroyed in the April fire He said that President John T. Sabin died in October, 1905. and thereafter. until Henry T. Scott assumed charge here as presi- dent, Glass and Zlmmer were recognized as standing in Sabin's place. This afternoon, Secretary Eaton, re- suminc the stand, said that Glass acted ds general manager from the time of the death of President Sabin, October, 1905. until after the fire. He supposed Glass; had general supervision of the company 5 business.
 President Scott was recalled. He sail Halsey told him he was going to Manila | to take a position with a telephone com- 1 pany there. The witness thought his company did not have any interest in the Philippine company.

'I have seen patients choked into insen- sibility, and until they were perfectly black in the face. 1 have seen the nurse Kick and stamp the patients in the stom- ach, and take off their shoes and beat them over the head. 1 have seen as many as five nurses have che patient on the floor and all of them sitting on her. have seen the nurses tie the patients head in a pillow slip to keep them from hol- lowing. I have seen them take the pa tients by the hair of the head and drag them across the hall.
 Mrs. Allen was beaten and choked to death about the last of May, 1907, by q nurse and the manager discharged her. have seen the nurses knock the patients out of the dining room with chairs.

Prohibition Legislation.

The anti-llquor sentiment in the present legislature is SIS strong as in Georgia. where q prohibition bill has just passed the senate. However. it Is not likely that a general prohibition bill will be tried. The local option county bill passed at the first half of the session is expected to re- suit in most of the counties going dry be- fore the end of the next year. The anti shipping bill looks like a winner. though there has been a hard fight made on it. With prohibition in Georgia, the obIectors to the bill will have lost some of their thunder.
 The sentiment for the early closing measure seems to be strong. Some have even insisted and this may be done in the house. that the o'clock hour be re- stored instead of ', 8 and 9. as passed in the senate. There Is also a bill to allow the people to vote at will on the putting out of dspensaries where they desire which movement will it is expected, cause the downfall of number now operating.
 With the laws now in sight the anti saloon men seem to be pleased and If they are passed the prospect Is that there will be no more asked at the present session. However, the sentiment for prohibition in Georgia has given new hope to the men -~-~-~--~~~-~~~----->~-- ~~~-----~----------

ential rates were made to enable the standsr I'd Oil company to make war on ths Empire Transportation company or destroy it's competition. The answer le nles that an agreement was made be- tween these companies. the Erie, New York Central and Pennsylvania railroad companies in 1877 by which the oil traffic was divided between these roads under an agreement t0 pay the Standard il
 msany U 'usNe rebate of 1o per cent
 The allegation that the Standard oil company forced a sale of the business of the Empire Transportation company is oenounced. but it-is admitted that the Standard bought out the business in or der to extend it's own.
 Denial is made that In 1872 or 1882. the Standard secured a monopoly of the pipe lines from the Western Pennsylvania oil fields, enabling 1t to fix the rates uf transportation. or that the Standard Oil company caused the roads to discriminate against competitors or to monopolize the trade in oi'.
 Admission is made that in 1887 or 1889 the Continental oil company, subsi- diary of the Standard, contracted with the United States oil company and the Florsace oil and Refining company 10 take their entire products and that it continues to do so now that the contract has expired.
 But the defendants declare that this was not done to suppress competition
 The allegation in the governments com plaint that the Standard Oil company has secured monopoly of the oil trade In the northwestern states by inducing the railroads to refuse to make through rates from St Paul and Duluth to eastern points is denied.
 The charge that the profits of the Stand ard in excess of dividends are enormous is declared tn be false.
 In conclusion the defendants denied that they have entered into any unlawful com bination or confederacy.
