HOW THE STANDARD DOES.
Publisher of the Chanute Sun Shows
Contracts in Court

Chanute. May 29.-The Tribune
says:
An example of the methods used by
the Standard Oil company to secure
the publication of articles favorable
to itself was brought to light this
morning while dispositions were being
taken in the case of the Uncle Sam
Oil Refining company
The hearing was held by S. c.
Brown as a notary public in the Of
fees of Brown & Grigsby. The Uncle
Sam company was represented by A.
L. Wilson of Topeka and ]. B. Mar
shall of New York city.
1t had been the intention to put ]. ].
Jones of this city on the stand, and
he was summoned. When he made
his appearance he declined to testify
at this time, giving as his reason the
fact that he expects to be present
when the matter comes up for hearing
in court. He was excused.
The other witness was F. P. Cone,
publisher of the Chanute Sun. The
purpose of the inquiries directed to
him was to show that there has been
a conspiracy on the part of the Stand
ard Oil company to worry and harass
its competitors in general and the
Uncle Sam company, in particular.
Mr.. Cone was asked if he had any
contract for publishing advertising
matter for the Standard Oil company.
He produced one which provides for
the insertion of display matter con-
corning axle grease. made by the
standard. The contract looks harm
less enough. but Mr.. Wilson found

lishe~ accepting it shall run, as read
ing matter, not to be marked in any
way as an advertisement, articles
which may be furnished from time to
tine.
For such service he is to receive
five. cents per line. The clause also
contains an agreement that he is to
send copies of the paper containing
these articles TO the company upon
the payment of two cents a copy, or
is to mail copies to names and ad-
dresses furnished by the company, at
the rate of 8 cents per copy.
Has the company ever sent you

agreement" inquired Mr.. Wilson.
