In case the Standard gives the IN

this law the suit against the Standard,
according to the reports, probably Will

proceedings said e. G. Stringer, at
torney for the Stadard> Oil company,
when asked yesterday if the company
had taken any steps looking towards
the settlement of the suit or an agree
ment with the Independent dealers.
Il have been attorney for the Stand
ard Oil company for a number Oh
years, and I think | would know about
it if there had been any such action.
1.-The Standard Oil company has not
disobeyed the law, and | know OF no
negotiations with the other dealers.

TELLER NEXT.

New York, Oct. 16-Hampton G.
Wescott, vice president of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Kentucky, testi-
fed yesterday in the hearing or the
federal suit against the oil combine
that in several of the Southern states
the Standard had found it expedlent
to sell much of it's products through
companies which the public believed
to be independent. The practice OF
selling through so-called independent
companies which were owned by the
combine was discontinued two years
ago, according to Mr. Wescott.
Sell Through Independents.
Mr. kellogg, counsel for the govern
ment, drew from the witness that the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky,
which acts as selling agent Of oil in
Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Tennessee and Alabama, had
purchased numerous small independ-
ent selling companies, and through
many of them sold oil to the consum-
.er. Some of the plants of these indie
pendents were dismantled and the
business taken over by the Standard.
Mr. Wescott threw a sidelight on a
business department of the Standard
concerning which the federal counsel
has been seeking information since
the beginning of the inquiry. Mr..
Wescott testified that each month the
main Office of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Kentucky at Covington sent
to him not only the reports of the
business operations of the Standard,
but statements concerning freight
shipments and sale of oil by all COM
notitOrc

Block OF Illinois Central.
Chicago, Oct. yaG.-Stuyvesant Fish,
through his attorneys, yesterday Sc
cured temporary injunction which
will, if made permanent, restrain the
voting at the Illinois Central meeting
on Wednesday of 2S6,731 shares OF

voted in the interests of E. H. Harri-
man.
The writ is directed against the

road Securities company have no pow
err under the laws of Illinois to own
stock in the Illinois Central 1t was
also asked that these companies be
directed to sell their stock in the ILL
nois Central within a reasonable
time.
The petition charges an unlawful
scheme of the Union Pacific Railroad
company to control the commerce of
the United States by buying large

the facts stated in a recent report of
the interstate commerce commission
in regard to the transactions of the
