legs. Mr.. Ives wished to save the
handsome bird, which promised to be
prize-winner, so he made wooden
leg for her. Of course, as she grew
he had to make longer and longer
wooden legs for her; but to-day the
hens attitude is not stilted in the
least. She stands on her wooden leg
and scratches for food with her good
leg with double vigor. When she
roosts she wears her wooden leg, of
course. She lays eggs industriously,
and her chicks have two legs.
This proves that kind Nature takes
care of those who prefer the brown
meat of chickens, said Mr.. Ives CRATE
fully.

REALIZED BY THE oCTo-

New York, Sept. 24.-That the
Standard Oil company is operating IN
der the name Corsicana Refining CON-
pany in Texas, which has forbidden
the oil combine to operate within the
state was indicated yesterday when
Wesley H. TilfOrds treasurer of the
Standard Oil, under examination i'll
the governments suit against the
company, testified that H. G. Folger
and G. M. Payne, whom Frank Kel-
logg, attorney for the government,
states control the Corsicana company,
are prominent in the conduct Of the
affairs of the Standard Oil. Kellogg
sought to draw from the witness in,
formation that the Corsicana COM
pany was really the Standard Oil COM
pany and was operating in Texas be-
cause the antitrust laws of that
state would not permit the combine
to operate in it. Tilford replied
that as far as he knew the Stauda1 Il
oil had no interests in Texas. He adj
r1itted that Folger and Payne were
both officers of the Standard OIL, but
he was not aware that they owned
the Corsicana company.
Kellogg spent a busy day tracing
the various changes in the develop
ment of the Standard Oil from the
time Of it's inception in 1882, when
the trust agreement was signed, uu-
til the trust was dissolved in 1898
and the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey was formed. Kellogg devel-
oped many of his questions from the
trust agreement of 1882, which was
contained In the bill Of complaint filea
in st. Louis last December, when the
present action was commenced.
Planned for Long Period.
This trust agreement, which was
entered into by John D. Rockefeller
and 45 other oil interests, provided
that Standard Oil companies should
be formed in Ohio, New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and in other
states whenever the trustees deemed
advisable. All properties and as
sets of the embraced corporations
and companies were to be turned over
to several Standard Oil companies,
which, in turn, issued their own
stock in exchange. Under the terms
of this trust agreement, all stock
was to be delivered to nine trustees,
who issued to the depositing stock
holders trust certificates equal at
par value to the par value of the sew
eral Standard Oil companies.
Trustees Power Absolute.
The trustees, under the original
agreement, were John D. Rockefeller
o. H. Payne, William Rockefeller, J.
A. Bostwick H. NJ Flagler, W. L.
Warden, Charles Pratt, Benjamin
Brewster and John Archbold. The
trustees had absolute power in the
control of the companies. They could
purchase with trust funds the stocks
and bonds of the other oil companies
on such terms as they deemed advis
able and could dispose of them when
ever they considered it necessary

hold office for three years, we're bal

and the Standard Oil company in
Chicago claimed that section ~ of the
Hepburn law contained a provision
which granted immunity for all Of
lenses committed prior to the pas
sage of the Hepburn law, except those
cases in which the indictments had
been found when the law went into
effect.
I'm other words section 10 of the,
Hepburn law had the effect to repeal
section one of the Elkins law.
I'm this respect the decision is a
great victory for the government and
all other cases now pending in MIN
nesota for the giving of rebates,
against the other railroad companies,
will be prosecuted to a conclusion
There were four indictments against
the Great Northern, and in this par
ticular indictment the road practically
pleaded guilty, but took the ground
that the government had no right to
prosecute under the law.

There are II indictments of this
same nature in this district and all
will be saved by this decision. The
Omaha road, one of these defendants,
was fined $4,000 and the Wisconsin

have gone to the circuit court of ap
peals on this same point and other

Denver, Colo, Sept. 24.-The Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals,
eighth judicial circuit, handed down
an opinion yesterday affirming the
judgment of the United States district
court at Minneapolis last May, de-
clarfng the Great Northern railroad
guilty Of giving rebates. Under that
Judgment the Great Northern road
was fined $4,000.
Blow to Standard Oil.
St. Paul, MINI, Sept 24.-United
States District Attorney Haupt when
informed of the decision of the court
in Denver said:
1.-The question passed upon is OF
supreme Importance, not only in this
case but it involves the right to
prosecute any and all cases for the
giving of rebates. The validity OF
the Standard Oil company fine of
S29 600, 900 depends in large measure
on this decision for it will have al
most a controlling influence in the
decision of the court Of appeals in
the Chicago district, where the
Standard Oil appeals on exactly sim
ilar grounds. If the decision had
been otherwise, it would have stopped
all prosecutions in the eighth district
for rebates, concessions, etc.

Commercial Success.
Glace Bay, N. s., Sept. 24.-Declar,
ing that he intended to stay in Glace
Bay until wireless communication
with Europe had been placed on a
commercial basis, Guglielmo Maroon
said yesterday to the Associated
Press:
I'VE have finally overcome all OBJ
stacles, and in about three weeks will
commence commercial transatlantic
service"
He stated that bad weather woulC
not affect the service, provided the
masts and poles used in the wireless
system remained unchanged, that
the average speed used in sending
messages would be 20 words min
ute, and the rate ten cents a word
for ordinary commercial messages and
five cents word for press dispatches.
This rate, he said, would ne cut in
two later. Messages sent from the
station at Glaze Bay will be re
ceived on the other side of the Allan
tic at Clifden, Ireland, where a new
plant has been established. TIL
Cornwall station will be utilized as
a secondary plant.
