ARTMAN ON TEMPERANCE.
Points out the Inconsistencies OF the
Supreme Court.

Judge Samuel r. Artman of Lei :
on, who has attracted attention by his
liquor decisions and by his recent lee
ture tour of the country, addressed the
Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends
Thursday afternoon On the subject OF
temperance. He was well received
and the appreciation of his address
was acknowledged by a rising vote.
Judge Artman went over much the
same ground he has traversed before.
showing up the alleged inconsistencies
of the supreme court of the state in
it's ruling on the liquor question. He
declared that the trades and caliings
that endanger the public good should
be suppressed and that the saloon is
a stranger to the governmental fam
lily. He said that the supreme court
is guilty of a confusion of terms when
it says a license to sell liquor is a re-
striction. Judge Artman says that he
yielded to the supreme court in the
Sopher case, appealed from Mobiles
vile, but that the ruling does not dis
pose of the question.
Judge Artman was heard by a large
audience, the attendance at the yearly
meeting being greatly increased today.
Many Richmond people not members
of the society, also heard his address.
Home Mission Report.
Under the head of business the
home mission committee reported the
distribution of 1888 pieces Of liter
ature and an expenditure of s2,5SS.
There were 81 cottage prayer meet
ings. 1 old peoples meeting, II o n
versions. 5 additions to the church,
$40 visits to other meetings, 979 meet
ings for mutua. help. 5 bible schools
established and 4,64S visits made to
the sick over the entire yearly meet
ing. A good work is being done by
the home mission committee, within
the confines of the Indiana Yearly
meeting. Each quarterly meeting sub
mitted reports on the work being done
by the home mission boards. The re-
port was submitted by Julia Newly,
secretary of home missions in the In.
diana yearly meeting.
Elizabeth B. Rutter Of London. Eng
land, spoke on the condition of the
home mission work there. 1t is not or

STARTLING |SCLOS-
URES BEING MADE
Standard Oil Inquiry Is Pro-
ductive of Some SenSa-
tiOnaI Trimmings.

New York. Sept. 27.-Startling dis
closure of methods employed by the
Standard Oil to conceal enormous pro-
fits in the pipe line business was made
today by Special Examiner Kellogg al
the inquiry before Commissioner Fer
ris. The fact that the Southern pipe
line earned seven millions in
1900, bu that figures were juggled So
that a loss of over .alf a million ap-
peared on the balance sheet was estab-
lished.
George Chesbro, comptroller of the
National transit company. testified
that the profits that year were nearly
four millions. T. S. Trainor is credit
ed with four and a half millions and
the balance sheet showed losses. He
was unable to explain why Trainor
should nave o u millions. Attorney
Kellogg intimated the money was paid
Trainor to establish a supposed loss.
Inquisitor kellogg announced today
that the oil. hearing would be adjourn
ed this evening until mex Thursday on
account of the Mckinley memorial ded-
ication.
Inc lnuldUd pipe IIHe COIlpdHy, d
subsidiary of the Standard Oil compa-
ny, made a profit of S4.031 .022 in 1908
on a total investment of S2.22S. 15S. ac-
cording to the company's figures pro-
duced by Chesbro.
Mr.. Chesbro testified that the Indi-
ana Pipe Line company was a common
carrier and engaged only in the trans
p~ortation of oil. From balance sheets
of the company Frank B. Kellogg, on
Quoting the governments case. sought
to show that the Indiana company was
making excessive profits and that it
maintained a high schedule of tariffs
to prevent shipments of oil by indie
pendent oil producers. Mr.. Chesbro
testified that the Indiana company
transported practically only the oil of
the Standard company. The counsel
for the government allege that it will
be shown that the profits made by
these pope line companies have in some
cases been twenty times the actual
cost of operation.

Work for Temperance.
The temperance committee made it's
report, showing that IA members of
the Yearly Meeting used tobacco and
that one used Intoxicating liquors.
The committee has done much toward
the cause and takes a hopeful view.
Seventy-five dollars was sent to aid in
the prohibition campaign in Oklahoma
and $50 to aid the work in congress-.
S~eventy-nine lectures. ninety-five SER
mons and twenty-five special meetings
were held in behalf of temperance.
The work of the temperance COM
mittee during the past year has been
greatly hampered by the illness of
Prof. Cyrus Hodgin of Earlham col
lege who is chairman of the commit
tee. Notwithstanding this, a good
work has cen done according to the
report. There were 20 special iec-
lures, 50 sermons and % sepcial meet
ings for the cause of temperance with
in the confines of the Indiana meet
ing during the past year. The tenn
perance committee asked for an ap-
preparation of 800 for the cause of
temperance, the money to be used
during the coming year in the work to
be done by the committee, as it has
been mapped out.

there would not be a saloon in In.

league has done in the past year and
the work that it hoped to do in the
Expecting Big Crowd.
Friends in Richmond are making
preparations for the reception of the
of visitors who will come
to Richmond next Sunday to attend
the sessions of the meeting. Yearly
meeting Sunday has IN past years at.
hundreds of people to Rich.
mond and this year promises to be no
exception to the rule.
Owing to the exceptionally large
amount of business to be transacted
by the Indiana body during the pres
ent session it is more thar probable
the sessions will be continued
until text Tuesday. The regular or.
der of business was broken Thursday
and as the program IS so arranged
that a break will create some delay,
those things which were to nave been
Monday will probably have
to go over till Tuesday.
