THE STANDARD INQUIRY.
More information Regarding Tide.
water Pipe Company Brought
Out at New York.

New York. Sept. 24.-More informa'
ton concerning the contractual rela'
lions existing between the Underwater
Pipe company OF Pennsylvania and
the Standard OIL company was devel.
oped Tuesday when Robert Benson.
general manager OF the Tidewater
company. was again called to the
stand in the hearing of the federal
suit against the Standard OIL COM
pany. Mr.. Benson testified that the
pipe line OF the National Transit com.
pany, a subsidiary company OF the
Standard, was not completed to the
seaboard until after the pipe line OF
the Tidewater company had been com.
pleted to Constable Hook. n. j. The
witness said that on October 9, 1888,
the contract between the Tidewater
company and the Standard was rati'
fled whereby the oil business was d.
vided between the two companies.
Mr.. Benson was questioned at some
length concerning the various provis.
ions Of the contracts. which appor'
toned SS1k per cent OF the business
to the Standard and liz to the Tide
water company. Mr.. Benson said that
the Standard fixed the price that the
Tidewater should pay for It's crude oil
and also fixed the price of oil refined
for export.
Were you consulted about the
prices that you were to pay for the
crude oil?" Asked Mr.. Morrison, one
OF the government counsel.

Bensen.

REsATE CASE DECIDED.
United States Court Of Appeals A..
firms judgment Against Great
Northern Railroad.

Denver, Col. Sept. 2A.-In an opin'
Ion announced Monday by the United
States circuit court OF appeals sitting
In Denver the judgment OF the dis
trict court for Minnesota against the
Great Northern railroad In the rebate
cases was practically afiirmed. The
circuit court holds that the Hepburn
acts 10 an amendatory act and No. q
repeating act. that insofar rs u re-
peats or reproduces portions NJ the
ElkIns act Il continues them In force
and makes no break In the law. and
that insofar az Il omits or changes
provisions OF the Elkins act II re'
peals them.
The act OF granting rebates was al
mitted by the Great Northern Rail
road company at the trial and the
only question presented by the de-
PENDANT was whether or not the Ell
kins net OF 1908, making It an offense
and fixing punishment for granting
rebates was repealed by the Hepblrn
act Of 1906 In such way that there
after there could be no prosecution
OF offenses committed prior to The AT
peal. The district court ruled against
this contention OF the railway com
pany and hence the appeal to the cir
cult court of appeals.
The circuit court OF appeals holds
that the special saving clause In the
Hepburn act does not mention the par
ticular subject Of the general "a ing
clause in section three OF the revised
statute OF the United States. and as
the special saving clause can have
reasonable purpose and operation
without infringing upon the provis'
ions OF the general saving clause II
does not repeal the latter. Thus the
decision results In an affirmation OF
the judgment OF the district court al
though In some respects the circuit
court Of appeals declines to follow or
accept the reasoning or the grounds
OF the decision OF the district :odrt.

No Fractions OF Licenses.

Frederick s. jackson. attorney gen.
eral. In an opinion says that itinerant
vendors Of drugs and medicines can
not secure county licenses for q part
OF the county OF for Il part OF the
year. The last legislature passed q
law requiring n license OF $50 to be
paid by each vendor. This license
gave the vendor the right to sell his
wares throughout the county for one
year. Since the law became effective
many attempts have been made to
secure licenses to sell goods In q
small part of a county or for a short
time. County officials have been ask
ing about this.

Topeka. Sept .24.-Arguments were
made Monday In the supreme court
regarding the asking OF certain Ques-
tons by the attorney general In the
custer suit against the International
Harvester company. The arguments
were In the nature Of an attack and
defense of the law passed by the last
legislature. The harvester company
attacked the validity OF the law In this
case.
w. Z. Stanley. ex-governor. was the
chief attorney for the company. He
said that the law was invalid because
Il compelled the company To give in
terminating evidence against itself.
He invoked the federal constitution.
when provides that no person shall be
q witness against himself and that q
witness shall not be required to give
evidence which might incriminate
him.
Edgar A. Bancroft. Of Chicago, a
member OF the general legal depart
ment Of the company, argued that the
law was invalid as applied to this case
because Il was an ex post facto law.
The custer suit against the company
was begun year ago and the law was
not passed until last spring. He said
that It should not apply because II
permitted rule In getting evidence
which was not in force at the time
action was begun.
Frederick s. Jackson. attorney gen.
eral, and C. C. Coleman. ex'attorney
general, replied for the state. Mr..
jackson spent most of the time read
ing extracts from court opinions show
ing that the persons employed by cor
porations were entitled to the immuni'
ty but that the corporations them
selves were not. Mr.. Coleman said
that the law. although passed after
the case was brought. was In effect be-.
fore the answers of the company were
filed on account OF the dilatory mo-
tons filed and argued, and that the
ex post facto feature did not apply.
As soon as this case was finished
Earl w. Evans. ex.Gov. Stanley's law
partner. announced that the Standard
Oil company Of Indiana and the Stand
ard Oil company of Kansas were will
Ing to answer the questions as submit
ted by the attorney general with one
minor amendment. The amendment
was made. This company had no OBJ
lection to the law. j. d. Mcfarland
and ]. b. F. Gates. representing the
Prairie Oil and Gas company, q
branch OF the Standard, did not argue
the validity of the law at ali and said
that the company officials were will
ing to answer the questions II some
amendments were made. The attor-
ney general does not want to make the
amendments, and whether the ques'
tons should be submitted as originally
prepared or amended was argued.

Mlliers Making Profits.

The starting OF new mill n
Abilene Is the outcome OF the excel
lent profits made by the millers OF the
central wheat belt this season. This
has been one Of the years for millers
In a decade. The high price OF Hour
and the strong demand from the East
has brought large profits to the mills.
and they have paid larger dividends
than usual. The mills OF this part OF
the state are sold ahead several weeks
In their output. and the good quality
OF grain Is making the flour q quality
that gives Il strong place In the
market. The big mills OF the North
west have been buying. and the local
mills have had the advantage OF the
position to get the cheaper material
for -four making. Then they have also
been adding to their export trade and
are shipping coed sired quantities to
Europe The prospect for the coming
autumn is very bright 70: the Kansas

OIL For lola Streets.

lola is planning to try the expert
ment of oiled streets in lieu Of paving.
BY properly grading the street and
then applying the oil together with an
asphalt substance which is by
product of the oil refinery, It is hoped
to get a good substitution for paving
at large saving in expense. Hutchin-
son has some oiled streets that are
quite satisfactory and the lola ex-
pertinent will be watched with inter
est. The character Of the soil in East
ern Kansas is not thought to be 80
susceptible to oil treatment as is that
OF the Arkansas valley where sand
predominates.
