STANDARD OILS TROUBLES.

Attorney Kellogg is Making a Strcnu.
Gus Fight Against the Great Trust.
New York. Sept. 19.-Attorney Kel-
logg, cousel for the government in
the suit to- dissolve the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey, is making
strenuous fight to get on record a
copy Of the "Original Trust Agree
ment" Of 1882, which was the be-
ginning Of the greatest combine. This
trust or trusteeship was entered into
by various oil companies placing their
affairs in the hands Of nine trustees
who had absolute power. 1t was de-
clared illegal in 1892 and was in
course Of dissolution during eight
preceding years until the present COM
pany was formed in 1899.
Wesley II. Tilford, the treasurer
was today's first witness. He admit
ted that during eight years the lqui-
dation OF dividends from b-compa-
nies was paid to the trust certificate
holders. This point was Of much i'm
portance as the Ohio supreme court
in an order Of 1892 demanded the
trusts dissolution. Mr.. Kellogg
sought to show that they were actu-
ally conducted as before in open de-
fiance Of the order.

catarrhal germs, destroys them, pre-
vents their future growth, and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane so
that relief is felt almost instantly,
while lasting cure is practically sure
to follow.
The complete HyOmei outfit costs

give satisfaction. 1t Is the only cure

TOO MUCH SASSIETY.
Barr Quits the Exposition i'm Disgust
After the MiXup ON Social Affairs.

Norfolk. Sept. lin a letter ad-
dressed to the committee Of directors
which arranged a settlement of DIFF.
terences existing some weeks ago be-
tween himself and President Harry
st. George Tucker Of the jamestown
exposition, James NJ. Barr, requests to
be relieved Of his duties as director
general. Continued conflict between
Mr.. Tucker and Mr.. Barr over the So
cial features OF the exposition caused
Mr. Barr's action. He claims he can
not continue in his present position
and maintain his self-respect.
Director General James NJ. Barr's
resignation came as a bombshell in
the camp Of the exposition officials to-
day, although it was known to the
committee named by the directors re-
Gently to settle the misundersta nding
between Mr. Barr and President
Tucker in reference to the social func-
tions at the exposition, that Mr.. Barr
was not satisfied with the adjustment
announced. -
In making public his letter Of res
ignation, directed to the committee
having the matter in charge, Mr.. Barr
declared the matter was settled ana
refused to make any further state-
ment.
In part the letter is as follows:
Il beg to ask that you will kindly
take action at once and relieve me Of
the director generalship of the James,
town exposition.
when I consented to accept this
office. as public duty, without COM
pensation to save the exposition from
impending failure, it was with the dis
tinct condition that be placed in un-
divided control Of the management
thereof. This condition was accepted
by the directors of the company, who
amended the bylaws so as to place
such control in me.
'The president Of the company has
recently set up the claim, in conflict
with the bylaws, that he is social
head Of the exposition and denies my
right to direct the manner Of enter
tanning distinguished visitors to the
exposition and in 80 doing has failed
to comply with our decision in this
connection. made Aug. 80 last, and
has refused to transfer, upon my re-
quest, certain persons now employed
in his Office to assist Col. Barton H.
Grundy, appointed by me to represent
me in this work, in pursuance of the
understanding then reached with you.
"As the failure to treat distinguish
ed visitors to the exposition on the
day Of its opening and since with the
courtesy due them has brought dis
crcdit and great loss thereto, as is
commonly known, it is clear their
treatment is a matter Of business in
terest to he exposition and vital to
it's success.
"As I am practically powerless un-.
der the conditions existing, to act in
this matter as the interests Of the eX-
position demand. and as 1 cannot con-
tinue to work for the exposition un-
der conditions existing without sacri-
flee Of self-respect, 1 have decided to
