OIL TRUST WILL OBEY LAW
STANDARD OIL COMPANY WILL
MAKE NO ATTACK ON HIM.
TON LAW.

st. Paul, May 24.-The Standard OH
company will not fight the Hinton law.
1t will make no effort to have the law
declared invalid, but will obey the law
In letter and in spirit when it ascer-
tains from the attorney general Just
what the law means. This is the state
ment Of Edward c. stringer, attorney
for the Standard Oil company, when
his attention was called yesterday to
the complaint made to the secretary of
state Monday that the company is vic.
lating the law.
The Hinton law prohibits any dis
elimination in the price of oil among
communities in the state. The price
on the same grade of oil must be the
same at all towns. allowing, however,
for differences in the cost of transport
tation.
Several independent oil dealers call
ed on the secretary Of state Monday
and charged that the Standard Oil
company is selling oil in st. Paul for 9
cents gallon, while it sells the same
oil under different name in Stillwa-
ter and st. James for 10 cents, though
the additional cost of transportation
would warrant a difference of only q
quarter of cent in price.

Judge of the supreme court of the

court, with a habeas corpus for his
release pending in the supreme court
OF the state, and a test case to deter
mine whether there was any authority
in law for the creation of the Office of
state temperance commissioner, vest
ed with all the powers of states attor-
neys In their respective counties, are
some of the rapidly unfolding develop
ments of the session Of the grand jury
here.
The feeling between the several
parties in interest in the grand jury
investigation has reached an acute
stage and sensational events are ex-
pected before the present session of
the grand jury is over.
corliss Turned Down.
The prosecution has engaged GUY
G. H. Corliss, formerly justice IF the
supreme court of the state, to assist
in the presentation of cases to the
grand jury. Judge Winchester has
refused to permit Corliss, in his ca
pacttv of temporary assistant states
attorney. to appear before the grand
jury. 1t was then suggested that the
temperance commissioner and his
deputy. having all the powers of
states attorneys, could appear before
the grand jury, and Judge Corliss was
appointed deputy temperance COM
miSS1nnor In hot I,o
pear.
Agrees to Arrest.
In order to settle the legal phases
Of the case, Corliss, acting as deputy
temperance commissioner, appeared
before the grand jury yesterday and
was subjected to an agreed arrest for
contempt of the district court in ap-
pearing without authority.
A writ of habeas corpus was imme-
diately sued out, Judge Corliss con.
structively was placed in custody, and
the supreme court has set today as
the time for hearing the writ of ha-
beas corpus and determining whether
Corliss can appear as prosecuting Of
ticer before the grand jury.
Will Pass Upon Law.
Attorney Townsend of Fargo, for
the defense, has given notice that at
the same time he will ask the court to
pass upon the constitutionality of the
law creating the office of state tempr-
ance commissioners, so that all the
pending liquor cases will be brought
before the court for settlement in the
habeas corpus proceedings.

THUGS SLUG AND HANG MAN.

Supposed Suicide Now Believed to Be
Murder.
Clinton, Iowa, May 24.-1t now is be-
lieved that the unidentified man whose
dead body was found hanging in 4
shed on an island near the Illinois
shore was murdered. The indications
at first pointed distinctly to suicide, as
the pockets Of his clothing contained
money amounting to ST. But there
was no trace Of anything which would
establish his identity.
It now seems probable that the man
was slugged by robbers and then
hanged to make it appear that it was
q case Of suicide.
