TO AVOID THE FIGHT.
Chairman of Presbyterian Temperance
Committee Makes Unusual Move.

Columbus, O., May 20-On high au-
thority it is stated that DIR. Henry E.
Dosker, chairman of the standing COM
mittee on temperance in the PreSbyter-
ian general assembly. has determined
upon an unusual move in hope of keep
ing out of the fight now on. He will
some time today return the overture re-
ferred to his committee, back to the
committee on bills and overtures. The
overture which is causing the row de-
clares to the effect that the church fed
Grafton on temperance should be con-
demned, and recommended that the
church give hearty support to the anti
saloon league.
DR.. Dosker's action is being criticized
by many commissioners. The question
is scheduled to come up next Friday.
The most important report today was
that of the committee on administrative
agencies, to whom were referred at the
last assembly the overtures of ia
Synods and Presbyteries asking that
consideration be given to the advisabil1-
ty of consolidating the church boards
On this topic the committee simply re-
ports progress, asks to be continued and
advises against commencing by CONSOLE
dating any two or more of the boards
advising if action be taken it cover all
boards at once. The committee report
ed at length on the improvement of ex-
ecutive oversight and direction
The committee deplOres the fact that
the church unit itself is the only unit
thoroughly organized. 1t advises giving
Presbyteries and synods the power to
appoint executive commissions with ad-
ministrative powers only, of which the
moderator of the respective synods and
Presbyteries shall be the head. 1t ad-
vises a similar committee for the assem-
bly, to act as sort of directory coun-
sci for the moderator and which may
be given the work of some special COM
mittee. The counsel, it advises, should

SAYS IT'S A FARCE.
Sherman Bell Declares Trial of Min
crs' officials in Idaho Is Unfair.

Denver, Col, May 2O.-General
Sherman NJ. Bell, who commanded the
state troops in the trouble with the
Cripple Creek miners under the ad-
ministration of Governor Peabody, has
not been called by either side in the
Haywood trial at Boise, though he
knows much of the inside history OF
the Western Federation of Miners.
81 shall not appear as a Witness -
said General Bell, Except of my own
yolition. but if any attempt to job the
prisoners is made. or any attempt to
use me as a tool by either the Western
Federation of Miners or the mine
owners, I give notice now that shall
take a hand.
sfWhy should they try these men in
Idaho? During the troubles here and
before the murder of Stuenenberg
there were seventy-five persons killed
in Colorado; and yet they take men
from Colorado to Idaho to try them
for crimes committed in Colorado.
Why don't they try them here? Is it
because they are afraid?
1.-The whole thing is a farce. 1t is
unfair and un-American. detest the
principles of Meyer and Haywoo cd, but
1 think they should get a square deal.
and you take men from a state where
the alleged crimes were committed to
a place supposedly hostile to them in
another state, don't call it square
deal.'

one or two years. All the horses have
been carefully trained and bookmakers

ArmOur's Team Attracts Much Atten-
ton at London Horse Show.

London, May 2O.-The team of big
gray draught horses which belong
to Armour & Co. of Chicago, which
have been attracting so much atten-
ton among horsemen since their ar
rival in England. made their first ap-
pearance at the 22Oth annual carthorse
show held in REGENTS park today.
The magnificent horses, which are
larger than the largest English horses
with their brilliantly mounted harness
and immense truck. more common in
the United States than here, were the
center of attraction and the means OF
instilling more interest in the show
than has been displayed for some
years.
There were $50 entries for the
prizes offered for the best turnouts of
various descriptions of horses used
for delivery purposes. The Armour
string did not compete for any of the
prizes for which only London horses
were eligible, but won praise when
they passed before the judges.

MONOPOLY IN OIL.
Commissioner Smith Shows 1t Has
Existed for S5 Years.

Washington, May 20.-That the his
tory and present operation of the
Standard Oil interest 'show through
out the past thirty-five years a sub
stantial monopolization of the petro-
leum industry of the country a delib-
crate destruction of competition and
consequent control of that industry by
less than a dozen men. who have reap
ed enormous profits therefrom,'' large
ly through abuse of transportation
facilities, is charged in a report just
submitted to President Roosevelt by
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith.
Part one of the report was made
public today and other part will fol-
low. Certain information acquired is
withheld for the present, in accordance
with instructions of the president. who
feels that their publication might in
terfere with the prosecution of the
governments suits pending against the
sidiary companies. The report con-
tains the net results of a study of the
petroleum business during the year
1904.
ations and methods of the Standard
Oil company, by which, the report
states, through "ScandalouS railway
determinations" and other unlawful
devices they have secured and main
tanned an exclusive domination of the
petroleum industry
FTagrant Abuses Alleged.
1t is stated that in 1904 the stand
ard and affiliated concerns refined
over "a per cent of the crude oil run
through refinerieS; produced more
than Sc per cent of the country'S total
output of illuminating oil; and trans
ported through pipe lines nearly nine
tenths of the crude oil of the older
fields and SO per cent of the crude oil
of the midcontinent fields.
After the railroad rebate was aban-
| doned, the company, the report con-
! tinues, was able to Establish a system
Of secret. or open determinations OF
rates in its favor throughout practical
" the entire country. Having estab-
lished its monopoly of the pipe line
business, the company substantially
l refuses to act as a common carrier"
| It is shown that the Standard con-
trolls not only the wholesale, out also
the-retaiI trade in oil.
| In conclusion. the report says 1t is
| annarent that the dominating position
! of the Standard Oil, company, in the
oil Industry has largely been secured
by the abuse of transportation facili-
ties first. by fragrant determinations
| obtained from railroads; second, by
refusal to operate its pipe line system
