Pittsbur6, ga, Jan. 2S.-A murder
| trial, the outcome of which will estab
lish an important precedent in lega
and military circles, is in progress
here. Lieutenant Ralph w. Drury and
private, John Dowd, of the Ninth
United States infantry, were placed on
trial, charged with the murder of viii
liam Crowley, 18. who was killed Sept
10, 1903, near the United States ar
Senal by BOWL, acting under instruc
tons from Drury
Crowley and other boys are said to
have been caught stealing inside the
arsenal grounds. They were pursued
by soldiers and Crowley was shot aft
er he got considerable distance out
side the arsenal limits.
The question at issue is: Has a
United States soldier authority to kill
outside of government property a man
who is suspected of a crime with n
government property?
Ever since the killing of Crowley
the case has been discussed Dy legal
and military experts all over the coun-
try. Many maintain that as Crowley's
alleged crime was committed within
government property, the soldiers
were justified in pursuing the man as
they did.
Before he died, however, Crowley
made a statement, in which he denied
he was inside the arsenal. He claimed
instead that he was sitting on door
step, became frightened at the sight
of the onrushing soldiers and ran. He
said he heard a command to halt, that
he did halt, but was instantly shot.
For days following the shooting the
civil and military authorities had fire.

c,Soner insisted that as the shooting
occurred outside the government prop
erty the prisoner belonged to them.
Lieutenant Drury took different view
OF the matter. however, and the civil
authorities dared not force their de-
mands by entering the arsenal. The
States supreme court, where it was de-
cided to turn the men over to the
civil authorities and put an end to the
question for all time. Drury and Dowd
surrendered and were released in the
sum Of So 900 bail

| petroleum IS 70 exception to the rule.
] The pipe line system of the Stand
| ard, the report says, is not q natural,
| but rather an artificial advantage. 1t
| is argued that the reason why long
| pipe lines competing with those of
| the Standard have not been provided
is found in obstacles in the way of
such undertakings, having been OPP
posed by the railroads, whose right-of-
way has generally stood az Chinese
wall against all attempts to extend
| pipe lines. Ordinarily. it is said, the
Standard has not received rebates IN
recent years, 50 far as has been dis
covered, but it has nevertheless en-
joyed secret rates possessing all of the
element of Illegal rates and the ad
vantage so obtained over Independent
shippers have been of very great value
to that company. Numerous instances
of discrimination in favor of the
railway rates were found, says the re-
port.
On the question of remedies the
report makes these observations:
More than anything else the pipe line
has contributed to the Standard Oil
monopoly, and its supremacy must be
continued until its rivals enjoy the
same transportation facilities. The
amended act to regulate commerce
makes the existing pipe lines common
carriers, subject to that act, and the
power to prescribe just and reasonable
rates, regulations and practices. after
r11n and hearing G cnnfnrrad
upon the commission. But the pipe
line tariffs filed with the commission
are alleged to be of no actual ad-
vantage to the independent operators.
The commission can only act upon
these schedules after complaint has
been made challenging specific rates,
regulations or practices. Some COM
plants are now pending. How far the
amended act will prove adequate to
the correction of such injustice as now
exists in respect to this traffic re-
mains to be seen. Since in the past
petroleum rates have not always been
established to promote, but often to
check traffic, and the tariffs are more
or less permeated with discrimination
IN favor of the Standard Oil company,
HGNlUS DoSu Ouill up d SERIES OF
years in that view, it may be that this
discrimination will never be elimi-
mated by any process of complaint
against specific rate or practice.
Judging by the past. determinations
as TO this traffic may arise more fire..
Quently than those now existing can
be routed ont by that method. AS to
no other important traffic is there an
approach to the monopoly of the
STANDARD Oil in that Of oil. Under
these conditions it may become neces-
eary TO the uprooting of established
wrongs and the prevention of others
that the government shall fix in the |

for the transportation of this traffic. |
