World DEVELOPMENT.

The hypothesis OF world develop
ment from spiral nebulae. which was
SO widely discussed about 20 years
ago, but which of late years has been
seriously questioned. has been
strengthened somewhat recently by
the explanation that worlds are
formed not by the condensation of
rings gradually solidified from tenu-
Gus nebuae. but rather by great
masses thrown OF or detached from
the parent mass OF a nebula by the
centrifugal force of the rotation.
Photographs of nebulae disclose such
masses in process Of detachment, and
most astronomers are now inclined to
the belief that this is the way in
which all planetary bodies have been
formed The heavens show thousands
of spiral nebulae which are evidently
In state OF rotation in central nuclei,

the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians

commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered

weeks We had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
In July OF this year & little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak. and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturinE sores. We used
only the CutiCura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuiicura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands AMI
arms healed up So We have lots Of

FALLS TO DEATH
FROM SCAfFOLD
Structure Gives Way, Preclpltating
Six Men Over Fifty Feet-One
Dead, One Dying, Three
Severely Hurt
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-Six men
fell fifty feet from collapsing scaffold
on building in course of erection at 40
Fourth street this morning. All were
injured Thomas Bennett dying on his
way to the receiving hospital.
John Riley, who sustained fractures
of all ribs, fracture of skull and
possible internal injuries, is dying.
The injured are John Steele, abrasion
of head, contusions of face, possible
internal injuries; Bert Odell, lacerated
wounds of the scalp, injury to left arm;
Joseph Buckley, abrasions CT the head.
The building, which is owned by Mrs.
Twombley OF Berkeley, has reached the
third story. A frame work of wood had
been raised around the brick work and
on this the men, bricklayers and hod-
carriers, were working.
The direct cause of the accident was
the weight of a few extra pounds of
brick brought up by one of the victims.
A sharp crack in the timbers was the
only warning and then at once the
whole structure gave way, collapsing
completely. Among the mass Of flying
lumber the men fell.
Five of them struck the pavement
and lay bleeding there but one of them
plunged into the basement fifteen feet
lower. The roar of the crumbling
scaffold sent the other workmen in the
neighborhood beyond the danger zone,
but they returned Immediately to the
rescue of their cor panions who were
Immediately taken to the hospital.

RULES AGAINST
STANDARD OIL
Federal Judge Lands Refuses to Grant
New TriaI-Trles Vainly to Learn
Financial Resources of
Company
By Associated Press.

by Associated ETeSS,
CHICAGO, June 26.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court today
refused a new trial to the Standard Oil
company, recently convicted of making
shipments at illegal rates between
Whiting, Ind, and East st. Louis.
After the denial of the motion asking
new trial Attorney John S. Miller for
the oil company entered motion in
arrest of Judgment. This was prompt
ly overruled.
Mr.. Miller then asked the court to
select a particular count in the indict-
ment on which to base the final sjudg-
ment of the court. This was also de-
MED by Judge Landis
The court then announced that he
was very desirous Of obtaining infor-
nation regarding the financial re-
and ordered j. H Howard. former
auditor of the Chicago & !lton rail-
road, to take the stand.
The attorneys for the oil company
objected, but the court insisted that
Mr.. Howard take the stand and he
cid so.
Judge Lands was unable to obtain
from Mr.. Howard much information
regarding the finances of the oil COM
pany. After briefly examining two
clerks of the Chicago e. Eastern Illi-
nois railroad concerning oil tariffs of
the Alton road, the court ordered
subpoenas issued, returnable July 6,
for the president and secretary of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, Off
GERS of the Union Tank line, officers and
directors of the companies holding the
stock of these two concerns.
