IT WAS A BARREN VICTORY.
Standard OIL wins FinGIay Case on
Purely Technical Error.

From the Cleveland Leadtr-
The victory just won by the Standard
Oil Company at FinGIay Ohio, is such in
seeming more than in reality 1t affects
merely the form Of procedure against the
trust. and not the merits Of the case or
the force of the charges made by the
prosecution.
It occurred to Prosecutor David that if
he could bring his cases against the com
pany in the Probate Court he would get
surer and quicker results The tedious
cumbersome, and often unsatisfactory
process of sitting the proof before a
grand jury would be eliminated He tried
the experiment. knowing that the first
question to be settled must be the legality
Of this procedure The Probate Court
ruled that it had jurisdiction in the case.
The Common Pleas Court now rules that
this decision was an error. The question
viii be carried to the Supreme Court as
quickly as possible
If the prosecutor wins in the end he will
have gained a decided advantage for him
self and all other prosecutors in the
State in the future enforcement Of the
antitrust law II he loses he is merely
where he was before he conceived the
idea Of instituting cases in the Probate
Court
The indictments already obtained
against the officials of the Standard oil
Company stand, and they will come to an
issue In the criminal branch of the Com
mon Pleas Court in due course. II the
Probate Court is without jurisdiction, ala
antitrust cases brought by the State
must be tried in the Common Pleas Court,
as has always been done heretofore.
That is all the latest decision at Findlay
means. The cases against the Standard
oil Company are as strong as they ever
were

As on example of the recklessness with
which rumors rejecting on the credits and
standing Of substantial firms are some
times circulated in Wall street, it is worth
mentioning that not long ago a suspicion
fell upon the standing OF a house because
at a time of considerable stress it became
an eager borrower of money. The only
inference the street could draw for this
was that loans had been
called and the house was between the
devil ard the deep blue sea.
Circumstantial evidence is as unsafe in
Wall street as it is in law, and there are
many people in the financial section who
base every important conclusion solely
upon it.

Tangier, Aug. Casa Blanca, on
the Moroccan coast, has been bonn
barded by French cruisers, the Moors
are reported to have been shot down
in large numbers and the town since
last Sunday night has been practically
in the possession of landing parties
from French and Spanish cruisers.
The first shots were fired by the
Moors. The French responded with a
bayonet charge and the bombardment
of the native quarter with Melinite
shells
= The French had six men wounded,
but no one killed. No European resi-
dents were hurt
The occupation of Casa Blanca Is
direct outcome of the native uprising
which resulted in the killing last
week Of eight Europeans at Casa
Blanca. Both France and Spain are
hurrying other warships with troops
and marines on beard to various
points on the Moroccan coast for the
protection of foreigners. Under the
terms of the Algeciras convention
these two powers are charged with
the policing of the seaports of Moroc-
co. and their action at Casa Blanca
has brought no protest from any
power. The states of Europe have ex-
pressed their willingness that France
and Spain restore order in Morocco,
as no other countries are involved.
