OIL TRUST
TO Be PROBED

CHARLESTON, W. Va, ian. 10
Little business was done by either
the house or the senate yesterday
both ad1ourning at noon until We'd
nosday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
principal business in the house was
the matter of taxation by Mr. staun-
ton, and the jamestown exposition
bill, both of which were passed on
the second reading.
In the senate the principal busi-
ness was the introduction Of the
resolution of Littlepage, Democrat,
for an investigation OF the Standard
and other oil companies regarding
whether they were restricting compe-
tition and whether they had a lobby
here. The mater was fought through
to the committee, an attempt being
made to suspend the rules and push
it through. This viii probably stir
up lot of trouble If the commission
is appointed to make the investiga-
tion.
Wednesday the house and senate
visited the Kelly axe works in the
morning and convened in the after
noon.

.DARSTS PURE
FOOD BILL
Is Again Introduced in the Legisla-
ture-said To Be
Good Bill.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Jan. 16-
The Pure Food law which has been
introduced in the senate by McKown,
is an exact copy of the one which
Senator Darst introduced two years
ago, and is an administration meas
ure. The law is a good one modelled
after the laws of some Of the other
states, and while there will no doubt
be a large number OF amendments
tackled on which viii bring 1t up to
date and in conformity with the fed
eral law which went into effect the
first OF the month, when completed
there will not be great deal of
change in 1T. A pure food low, one
which will do the work, is being de-
manded by the people In all parts of
the state and 1t does not seem posi-
bic that the legislature can get away
from passing such a law at this ses-
sion. no mater whether 1t is the one
which has been introduced or some
other equally as good, It seems a GER
tainty there will be one passed.

CAMPBELL IS
NOT GUILTY
OF the Postofioe Robbery at Rob
inson's Mills Proves
an Alibi.

The jury at Parkersburg in the
case of James Campbell. charged in
United States court with postofice
robbery. for having burglarized the
postoffice at Robinson's Mills, re
turned a verdict of not guilty at
court Tuesday evening after hard
fought battle:
Campbell was arrested some time
ago and given hearing here. He
had been suspected from the first.
A boy named Barker, who was also
suspected. and was arrested, made
a confession duplicating Campbell,
stating that Campbell lifted him
through window in Pearce's store
in which is located the postofice.
Campbell and his family went on
the stand and their story saved
him. The wife testified that he was
at home all the night of the robbery
which was in June. She said that
the baby wakened about every hour
and cried. and that wakened her,
and Of course II her husband had
left her side she would have known
it. She said that the only time he
was absent during the entire month
was on two Saturday nights when he
went to play the violin at a dance
and country picnic. He was famed
throughout the country as a nd
dler.
A daughter told the same story,
and the defendant took the stand
and repeated 1t. Campbell testif-
ed that he didn't know the Barker
boy, though he admitted, when
questioned, by Mr.. showaIter, that
the boy had lived in the neighbor-
hood for thirteen years, ana taht
there are only a few houses in the
community, and as a whole It is a
sparsely settled country.

HELD At CHURCH
BY Rev. DIR. Arbuthnot Where Re-
vival Efforts are Being Put
Forth Ably.

Owing to the very inclement
weather of last. night the audience

before, but the meeting neverthe-
less was very good one. The open
ing prayer and praise service was
of a very devotional character and
was heartily participated in by DIFF
terent members OF the congregation
The sermon was based on the para
BILE of the Good Samaritan and was
from the subject practical Relig-
ion-the Kind to Have and to Get. .
The interest of the meeting was
OF such an encouraging nature as
to warrant the appointement of day
meetings. which will be held hereaf-
ter every afternoon in the audi
torium at 3 o'clock. This afternoon
a children's meeting was held from
4 to 5 o'clock. The regular revival
meeting will be held tonight, the

the resolutions passed at the last
meeting OF the West Virginia Bap-
