TAX COLLECTOR BUSY.
Unusual Rush Keeps the Clerks at
 


 Mobile, Oct Especial. )--The office force of Tax Collector Dorlon is busy with the collection of State and county taxes for tSe year 1907 which are now due. The tax year started on October 1, and for the past four days there has been an unusual rush into the office of the collector.
 The rush is not oceasioned altogeth- CT by those who want to pay their taxes. There Is another unusual rea- son for this this year. The pension warrants for Confederate veterans aHd , their widows have been received and are being disbursed by the Probate Judge, and following his usual custom. the Tax Collector is cashing the war rants so as to save to the pensioners the discount which they would have to pay to collect the warrants through
 These warrants have never before been paid with the beginning of the tax year on October I, and. comin g with those who always like to pay their taxes as soon as saTrla fall due, has caused the unusual busy time with the tax officials.
 The payment of taxes so far this year is being made at about the usual rate. Payment of the 1907 taxes may be made at any time between October i and January 1, without additional cost. but on the first day of the year they become delinquent. and the State assesses a penalty of per cent for such delinquency.

 damus.

Mobile, Oct, 4--(SpeciaD-- City Attorney B. B. Boone appeared in the probate court to file the mortgage Of the City of Mobile for s2,000.000 on its wharf property Judge Price Williams Jr., instructed him that he would have to comply with the law which requires a tax on mortgages of fifteen cents on the $10o. This would make the tax on the mortgage $3,000.
 The mortgage is for the purpose Of taking up the outstanding bonds of the old city debt. The city is given power to issue this mortgage on its wharf by a recent act of the Legislature known as the refunding act. City att torney Boone was told by the court that 1t had not the power to relieve the city of the tax and that the matter would be referred to the Attorney General of the state
 Mir. Boone came to the conclusion that quick action was necessary and after a consultation with Mayor Lyons he decided on a writ of mandamus and a petition was filed with Judge Saffold Berney in the Law and Equity Court. Attorney Boone says that all muni- cipaIities are part of the state and that they cannot be taxed in the manner as Judge Williams thinks.

A BODY BLOW
 AT STANDARD Tarbell Tells of Trusts
 Persecution. RINGS IN THE RAILROADS 10 Prevent United Pipe Line Reach
 ing Seaboard. Brother of Woman Who Has Written ExtensiveIy of standard on Meth oas, Makes Capital witness For
 Government.

New York. Oct. -A--w. W. Tarbell, treasurer of the Pure Oil Company and the United States Pipe Iane Company, took the witness stand today in the hearing of the governments suit to dis solve the Standard oil Company, and told o fthe troubles of his two compa- nies in the competition with the oil combine. MT. Tarbelf said the Stand ard fought the United States Pipe Line At every step to prevent it from reach ing the seaboard with it's pipe line. Mir. {. Tarbell is a brother of Miss Ida Tarbeli, who has written extensively of the af- affairs of the Standard Oil Company.
 Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer of the Standard. was on the witness stand when the hearing opened today and MT. Kellogg questioned him about largo advances made by the Anglo-American company, a subsidiary company, to James Mcdonald, a director of the company.
 DO you know anything about loan uf Sz 9e6, ,6e5 made to Mfr. McDonafd
 T do not" replied Mr. Tilford.
 Didn't that loan represent the pur- chase of the Manhattan Oil Company, ca ohIoaTs asked MT. Kellogg.
 T do not know answered the wit ness.
 Mr. Tarbeil followed MT. Tilford on the stand. He said that the United states Elpo Llne 4h1 5AoHt oiA4Se4tiSH in reaching Marcus Hook. Pa. When the pipe line reached Hancock. Pa, in 1892, the Erie Railroad objected to Its passing over their right of way, and at wilkes Barre, the Pennsylvania and I.ackawanna Railroads tried to prevent the pipe line passing under theiI tracks .Mr. Tarbell said that while ahe Independent pipe line was being constructed the Standard cut prices and <he independent reflneries were forced An some instances, to sell refined oil un- der the cost of crude OH. When tne 1ndependent pipe line reached Marcus Hook. Pa, the witness said, furtheI cuts were made in prices by the Stand ard and their independent companies.
 In the early sos, Mir. Tarbell testified n trustee agreement was entered into bv stockholders in the Pure oil Com. pany to prevent. interests inimical to tht company from obtaining control.
 Mir. TaTbell further testified that tht Pure OH Company laid out districts 1T which to do business so as to "keei away from certain railroads which were more to be feared because of their dis criminations than the Standard oi Company"
 These discriminations were in favo of the Standard Oil Company, MT. Tar bell said.
 MT. Harrison said that shippin charges to his company were increase from about twenty -one shnlings unt they reached forty-two shillings si pence in 1905. The contract which tn Standard made on February 10, 1eoi with the Hansa, Prince, Houston an America--Africa steamship lines. mad the rate to the Standard for oil ship ments slightly less than seventeen shil IingS.
