persons in the Bijou theatre were thrown
Into a panic last night by the burning OF
the Aim OF a moving-picture machine In
a room near the street entrance. Some
one shouted "firs!' and everybody made
a rush for the exits. There were a num-

down in their excited efforts to- reach
the street
The entire company went on the stage
and sang song TO quiet the fears OF
the audiences, but the cXpedfent proved
unsuccessful. The greater portion OF the
Audience got out OF the theatre before
the flames had been extinguished. Sew
eral women tainted during the excite
ment but no one was injured.
After quiet had been restored, the au-
dience filed back into the theatre and
the performance was begun over again.

THE MAN WHO HAS ROUNDED UP ROCKEFELLER

state OF Pennsylvania against the
Standard Oil company and its allied in
tereStS, and indictments were found
against John D. Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller and others, and an agree
ment was entered into by the various
corporations that an appeal would be
made to the attorney general of Penn
sylvania to dismiss the bills of COM
plant and the indictments with the
understanding that the Standard Oil
company would abrogate its system of
rebates.
After that came the organization in
1882 of the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey, which began to absorb the
corporations controlled by its competi-
tors. Competitor after competitor was
taken in until 1888, when thirty-nine
corporations, ranging in capital from
s25, 900 TO SIS, 455 200, with total capt.
talization of s47.S30.200, were con-
trolled.
In 1892 came the suit brought by the
attorney general of the state of Ohio
against the Standard Oil company for
maintaining an unlawful trust in re-
straint of trade. On March 2, 1892.
judgment was rendered in this suit in
the supreme court of Ohio, and the
trust agreement was declared void.
Nineteen days after this decision a
meeting of the trust certificate holders
was held in New York and a resolu-
tion was adopted dissolving the trust
agreement The charge is then made
that after the so-called dissolution the
certificate holders from time to time
presented their certificates to the
liquidating trustees and received as
signmentS from the Standard Oil
Trust company. Then in January, 1899,
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey was incorporated-the name of
that corporation having being previous
ly changed to the Standard oil COM
pany. The capital stock was increased
from S10,00O000 to S110,0 600. and the
powers of the organization included all
the powers to do the business of the
various corporations under the trust
agreement which the Ohio supreme
court had decided was unlawful. This
new Standard Oil trust was composed
of sixty-nine subsidiary corporations
with a total capital of s131, $50 Tex
cepting two companies, whose capital
| is not known to the government attor-
ney), ranging individually from s. ZOO
to $25, 455, 600.
And this is the Standard Oil com
pany of today-the giant that the mar
| from Minnesota is trying to put out OF
/ business.

The South Improvement company's
charter was repealed by the Pennsyl-

the government that the system of re-
bates was still carried on by other
schemes and devices arranged by the
Standard Oil company and the rail-
roads, and that to facilitate these prof.
ects the Standard Oil company by
agreements and leases obtained control
of the terminal facilities for unloading
