of the New York Lubricating Oil com
pany In its fight with the STANDARD Oil
company for the business OF railroad
fabrication throughout the United
States We're related by Phillip Harri-
son OF the New York Lubricating Oil
company In the hearing of the gov
ernment's suit against the Standard
Mr.. Harrison said that the Vacuum
Oil company, previous to 1894, manu-
factured lubricating oil, but that it
made an agreement with the Standard
whereby it turned all of its lubricating
business over to the Galena Signal
Oil company, a subsidiary of the
Standard The witness said that his
company made a contract with the
Louisville and Nashville railroad in
1903 to supply the road with lubricat-
ing oil. On the expiration of the con-
tract President Milton Smith of the
Louisville and Nashville refused to re-
new it, but would give no reason
Mr.. Kellogg then placed in evidence
the statement OF the Galena Signal Oil
company, showing that the Louisville
and Nashville, at the expiration OF the
contract with the New York Lubricat-
ing company, made contract with
the Galena at higher rate than that
paid the New York company. Mr..
Harrison said President Smith had
stated in letter that the oils OF the
New York Lubricating OH company
were entirely satisfactory,

Mr. Harrison testified that the New
York Lubricating Oil company had
contracts with the Central of Georgia
railroad and that the Galena obtained
contracts with the two railroads at
prices which, he said he understood
We're higher than the prices of the
New York Lubricating Oil company.
During the cross-examination OF
Mr.. Harrison Mr.. Rosenthal, counsel
for the Standard, asked the witness tn

FAILING SKIRT HOLDS TRAIN.
Gallant Conductor Lets Woman Stop
for Repairs.

Millville. N J., Jan. 2.-when Con-
ductor Stiles of the West Jersey &
Seashore railroad, made up his report
last night he was compelled to explain
that a womans falling skirt had de-
layed his train three minutes in this
city.
1t was this way: Stiles train, was
about to pull away from the station
in response to his shout of Bod, -
when he caught sight of a woman
hurrying along toward the station.
She was stepping lively, all right, but
at a critical moment something hap
pened. A hook something gave
way and an underskirt joggled about
her heels.
Stiles looked the other way and told
the unhappy woman to retire to the
ladies' room and make repairs. He
held the train. watch in hand, during
the mandatory process and decided to
tell the whole truth about it in his
report. There is nothing in the roads
rules covering the point, and old rail
readers are wondering what is to be
done about it.
