War ON All Big Pompadours.

Plttsburg, Pa, Oct. 15.-Managel
of Pittsburg's big stores have de-
clared war on the big pompadours,
and scores OF girls who insisted on
wearing their hair this way have been
discharged, one of the leading stores
letting twenty go at once without
recommendations.
The claim Is made that too much
time is taken by the girls in taking
care OF this high mass of hair.
The stores say they don't care for
a neat little pompadour. but the big
ones must go.

STANDARD KNOWS
WHAT ITS RIVALS
ARE ENGAGED In

New York, Oct 15.-Hampton G
Westcott, vice-president OF the Stand
ard Oil company, of Kentucky, testi.
fed in the hearing OF the federal suit
against the oil combine, that in sew.
eral southern states the Standard had
found It expedient to sell much pro.
ducts through companies which the
public believed to be Independent
The practice of selling through the
so-called independent companies
which were owned by the combine
was discontinued two years ago, ac-
cording to Mr.. Westcott.
Mr.. Westcott threw a sidelight on
the business department Of the stand
ard concerning which the federal
counsel has been seeking information
since the beginning of the inquiry.
Mr.. Westcott testified that each
month the main Office of the Standard
oil company of Kentucky, at Coving-
ton, sent to him not only reports of
the business operations of the Stand
ard, but also statements concerning
the freight shipments and sales OF oil
by all competitors. These statements,
according to Mr.. Westcott, gave tbs
name of the consignor, consignee,
amount OF oil shipped and any infor-
nation that might be available. Mr..
Kellogg. counsel for the government,
stated tonight that he expected TO
call William G. Rockefeller, assistant
treasurer of the Standard Oil COM
pany OF New Jersey, to the stand
when the hearing is resumed tomor-
row.

Berlin, Oct 15.-Regarding the
persistent reports published in the
English press that Germany desires
to absorb Austria in the event of the
death of Francis Joseph, 1t may be
stated that the policy of Germany
with reference to the internal affairs
of Hungary has been declared
to be one of entire aloofness.
The foreign Office some months ago
sent a dispatch on this subject to
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, German
Ambassador at Washington, for the
information of President Roosevelt.
The relations between Austria and
Russia were reviewed in this COM
munication historically, beginning
with the controversies in the old Ger
man federation, which were settled
by the war of 1866, and it was fur
Their set forth how Prussia, since
then, had maintained the headship of
the German states.
The entrance of Austria into the
German imperial system would. ac-
cording to the Prussian view, tend TO
revive the old antagonisms which had
come to an end with the entire ex-
clusion of Austria from the German
councils. Furthermore, strong Aus
trian empire was shown to be of ad-
vantage to Germany. because 1t was
friendly to the government of EN-
peror William and a support to the
present equilibrium of Europe.
In addition to the foregoing rea-
sons embodied in an official express
sion there are two or three other
considerations why Germany should
not absorb Austria, which are regard
ed as vital to the German empire.
The process of German unification is
not yet so advanced that Austria
could be taken with safety into the
interests already firmly established.
II is known also that the Hohen-
zollern dynasty influences are against
course of action which might in
crease the numbers and strength of
the Catholic party in Germany. This
party already is very powerful, COM
prising about one-third of the total
population, and should Austria come
IN with an immense addition of Cath
olics 1t would rekindle religious con-
troversy and make the problems of
government more difficult.
In addition to all this the German
official view is that the Austro- Hun
garian monarchy is not in the slight
est danger of dissolution.
