IT WAS a BARREN VICTORY.
Standard OIL WiEs FindIay Case on
Purely Technical Error.
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader
The victory just won by the Standard
Oil Company at FiudIay. Ohio, is such in
seeming more than in reality. 1t affects
merely the form of procedure against the
trust. and not the merits of the case or
the force OF the charges made by the
prosecution.
It occurred to Prosecutor David that if
he could bring his cases against the COM
pany in the Probate Court he would get
sureT and quicker results. The tedious
cumbersome. and often unsatisfactory
process of sitting the proof before a
grand jury would be eliminated lie tried
the experiment, knowing that the first
question to be settled must be the legality
of this procedure. The Probate Court
ruled that il had jurisdiction in the case.
The Common Pleas Court now rules that
this decision was an error. The question
viii be carried To the Supreme Court as
quickly as possible
II the prosecutor wins in the end he VIII
have gained a decided advantage for him
self and al other prosecutors in the
State in the future enforcement Of the
antitrust law. If he loses, he is merely
where he was before he conceived the
idea Of instituting eases in the Probate
Court.
The indictments already obtained
against the officials of the Standard oil
Company stand, and they viii come to an
issue In the criminal branch Of the Com
mon Pleas Court in due course IL the
Probate Court is without jurisdiction. all
antitrust cases brought by The State
must be tried in the Common Pleas Court
as has always been done heretofore.
That is all the latest decision at Findlay
means. The cases against the Standard
Oil Company are as strong as they ever
were.

pool were resumed, 1t is perhaps needless
TO say that there was absolutely no ap-
pearance Of any public interest in the
stock. and even among the professional
traders there was a decided disposition
to give the stock wide berth
Apart from the builish manipulation and
the covering OF shorts. there was no buy
ing of consequence, but the short interest
had been materially added to on account
of the rumors of trouble and the ex-
pectatiOn that from these would spring a
very considerable stream on liquidation.
But what had often happened in Read
ing before occurred again-the pool used
the opportunity afforded by the exist
ence Of a short interest to force a sub
stantial advance in the stock There does
not seem. however, TO be any real change
in the position Of Reading, the bulk
operating almost entirely on technical
market considerations.
