BOARD OF EDUCATION
Voted 10 Finish All Incomplete
 School Rooms in City.

The board of education last even- ing voted to finish all the incomplet- ed rooms in the school houses throughout the city. Further than that no other business was done. Mayor Thoms presided. Bids for the contracts for the work were adver- tised for, according to charter, some weeks ago and last night they were opened.
 The bids for the work were as fol- lows: Mulcahy school. third floor, J.. A. Lovett, $2,750; Macauley Con struction company, $2,790; Tracy Eros, $2,825. Duggan school, J. A. Lovett, $3,S10; Macauley Construc- tion company, $3,798.23; Tracy Bros, $3,675. Webster school. J. A. Low cit, $5,475; Macauley Construction company, $5.3S9; Tracy Bros, $5,- 550. In each case the contract was awarded the lowest bidder and thus each bidder received a contract. There will be some changes made in the Mulcahy school by which the kindergarten class will be given a room in another part of the building from that which it now occupies.
 Plans for a ten-room addition to the Driggs school were ordered by the committee on school houses and hygiene. This constituted the busl- ness done at the meeting.

taken when Joseph Bartles of the
Bartles Oil company Of st. Paul, to-
gether with oil dealers from Stillwa-
ter and st. James, lodged a complaint
against the Standard Oil company
with Secretary of State Julius
iSchmahl under the provision of the
Hinton bill passed at the recent SEES
sion of the legislature. They were
not. however, prepared to file their
complaint in writing and as no action
will be taken by the state until this
Is done they left to consult an attor-
neg and have the complaint drawn.
According to the complaint made
orally to the secretary of state the
Standard Oil company is selling a GER
tain quality of oil in ST. Paul under the
name "Perfection" for 9 cents a gal
Ion and that it is selling the same
quality of oil under a different name
In Saltwater and ST. James for 10
cents. where the difference in the
freight charges owing to the longer
haul to those points would only war

COURT TAKES NOTICE
Condemns Interview With Star
Witness in Haywood Case.
DEFENSE BLAMEs G0oDING
Declares ldaho's Governor Inspired
the Incident and Suggests That
He Be Cited for Contempt.

Boise, Ida, May 17.-At the opening
of the S~teunenberg murder trial Judge
Wood directed the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ada county to investigate the
circumstances under which Harry
Orchard was interviewed for publica-
ton with a view of ascertaining if
there had been any attempt to int1u-
enc the jurors in the case and to
take such steps as he found the Cir
cumstances to warrant. In drawing
attention to the matter Judge Wood
asked counsel if they could offer any
suggestions as to the duty of the
court.
Mr.. Richardson, for the defense,
vigorously denounced the incident as
a deliberate attempt to influence pros
pective jurors, suggested by the dis
closure of prejudice against Harry
Orchard and his testimony, and in
spired by Governor Gooding. Mr.. Oar
row took the same ground and sug-
gested that Governor Gooding be
cited for contempt. Both Mr.. Richard
son and Mr.. Darrow protested that the
publication of the Orchard interviews
g%rievously injured the defense.
Says Prosecution Will Suffer.
Mr.. Hawley, for the state, deplored
the incident, but maintained that it
would injure the prosecution more
than the defense. He also drew atten-
ton to the widespread newspaper
campaign in behalf of the defense and
the misstatements that had been cir
culated about Orchard and said that
he could see no harm in permitting
the newspaper men to interview Or
chard on general lines.
Senator Borah said he could dispose
Of the misrepresentation of counsel for
the defense that the interview was
part of a plan to give credence to
Harry Orchard after it had been
shown that certain talesmen were
biased against him, because the effort
to see Orchard upon the part of the
newspaper men had been in progress
for three weeks. He spiritedly de-
Tended Governor Gooding and the
newspaper men on the charge that
they had tried to influence the jury
The trial was interrupted for an
hour, at the end Of which time the
examination of talesmen was resumed.

POWER OF OIL TRUST
Control Of Transportation Is Its
Most Powerful Weapon.
STRANGLEsALL COMPETITION
Scathine Report Of Commissioner Of
Corporations Smith to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, May 20.-The position
petroleum industry is the subject OF a
report just submitted to the president
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations. Commissioner Smith
sums up the result of his investiga.
fkions as follows:
1.-The history and present operation
Hof these Standard interests shows
throughout the past thirty-ive years
a substantial monopolization of the
petroleum industry of the country, a
deliberate destruction of competition
and a consequent control of that In
edustry by less than a dozen men, who
have reaped enormous profits there
from.
"The commercial efficiency of the
STANDARD, while very great, has been
directed at Gripping existing rivals
and preventing the rise of new ones
by securing for itself most unfair dis
examinations in transportation facili-
ties and rates."
1t is stated that in 1904 the Stand.
ard and affiliated concerns refined
oyer "a per cent Of the crude oil run
through refineries; produced more
than sc per cent of the country's total
output of Illuminating oil; maintained
a similar proportion of the export
trade In Illuminating oil and trans.
ported through pipe lines nearly nine.
tenths of the crude oil Of the older
fields and SO per cent of the crude oil
of the m~ldcontinent fields"
The report says that the monopoly
enjoyed by the company does not rest
on the ownership Of the source of the
oil supply, which amounts to about
one-sixth Of the total, but that its
growth and present power rest pri
marily on the control of the transpor-
ttstjOp facilities"

Members of Combine Fined From $ooO
to $4,000.
Chicago, May 2O.-Judge Lands has
fined F. A. Holbrook, the American
Seating company and the A. H. An
drews company $4,000 each and nine
other furniture companies amounts
ranging from $500 to $4,000, for viola
ton of the antitrust laws in forming
4 conspiracy in restraint of trade. The
defendants pleaded guilty.
Judge Lands preceded the delivery
of sentence by a scathing denunciation
of the methods adopted by the church
and school furniture trust, declaring
that the punishment fixed by law is
inadequate to fit the crime. The COM
parative poverty of the smaller firms
furnished the courts reason for not
fining them the maximum.
Holbrook acted as a sort of clearing
house for the combine, which called
itself the Prudential club, Judge Lam
dis said. Holbrook apportioned the
contracts and by means of dummy
bids members Of the combine avoided
competition.

Strange Story Of Unrequited Love and
Sorrow and Deception That Gull
minated in a Dual Tragedy
at Epping.

Alfred ThOreSOn, a prominent bust
ness man of Epping, Ward county, and
we'll known throughout the northwest
ern section of North Dakota, shot and
instantly killed his sweetheart, Ermel
Willard. Then Thoreson turned the
weapon on himself and died almost in
stantly. Miss Willard ssas seventeen
years old and an exceedingly pretty
girl, the Alle of 'Epping. Thoreson
was well-to-do and thirty-two years
old. He had been infatuated with
Miss Willard for some time and had
paid her devoted attentions. He met
her and insisted that she marry him
and she positively declined. Mad
dened with rage, Thoreson, who had
evidently intended to end her life and
his own, shot the girl dead and sent a
bullet through his brain. According
to one version a strange story OF love
events that eliminated in the dual
tragedy. 1t appears that two years
ago IThoreson was an ardent sutton for
Miss Wizards hand. She did not re-
turn his affection and to escape his at
tentlons she went to Minnesota to
work, where she formed an attach
ment that resulted in deception and
sorrow and she was left alone. Thore-
son learned of her trouble and per
suaded her to return to her parents
home. Then he renewed his suit,
without success, for the girl loved the
man who betrayed her. Thoreson's
love then turned to hate. A little
over a week ago the girls baby was
born and finally Thoreson made a last
plea to her to marry him. She again
refused and the dual tragedy followed.
