OIL TRUST MEN
SUEDFOR SL,8OO.OOO
I. Moore Jackson Claims
They Broke Faith in West
Virginia Deal.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Claiming that
he was ruined in a big railroad deal in
West Virginia through false represent
atoms and bad faith on the part OF
H. II. Rogers, George a. Burt, and
Alfred c. Bedford. prominent in the
Standard oil Company. T. Moore Jack
son, of Clarksburg, w. Va, has brought
suit against these men IN the New York
courts for 81, Sc, 939-
Mr.. Jackson alleges that he was so
deceived after obeying a summons to
the New York office of the gentlemen
in question that he turned over to their
control the West Virginia Short Line,
a railroad projected by him TO compete
with the Baltimore and Ohio. that they
led him into big enterprises; and then,
in a year. they sold the road TO the
Baltimore and Ohio. bringing his cred
itors down on him, and wiping him
out.
Mr.. Jackson was the presiGent and
chief stakeholder Of the West Virginia
Short Line, a line running between the
West Virginia Central and the Ohio Riv-
or road owned by Rogers, Burt, and
Bedford.
He was told, he says, that the Ohio
River wanted to build the Short Line
as a competing line with the Balu-
more and Ohio; that il he surrendered
control the line could be run indie
penGently for twenty years, and he
would be made president. Mr.. Jack
son thereupOn surrendered his control.
and. upon the promise Of the Standard
oil men. started a big business TO help
along the competition In just one year.
Rogers. Burt. and Bedford sold both
the Short Line and the Ohio River TO
the Baltimore and Ohio at a remuner-
alive price. and he was ruined.

Expenditures Increase.

The expenditures for the current fs-
cal year are more than $50. 600. 900 heavier
tEan those for the corresponding part
Of the preceding fiscal year. With rev
enues Diminishing and the drain on the
Treasury increasing. the inevitable re-
SUIT is a rapidly growing deficit BY
tile end of the fiscal year, June 80, it is
expected TO run up TO about $4,000 900
or more.
Several months ago there were opti-
mistic predictions from customs officials
that the tendency 20 decline In the Gus
toms receipts would be but temporary.
These predictions have proven without
foundation. The customs receipts for
this fiscal year are about S.. O00 900
lower than the customs receipts Tor the
corresponding part Of the preceding ifs
cal year. Internal revenue receipts
have fallen about SI4,GOO.OOO behind. but
there has been some gain in miscenan-
eous receipts.
II the leaders IN the Senate and House
could look forward 10 the end Of this
fiscal year and see the end Of this tend
ency for the expenditures to grow great
er and the revenues to grow smaller
they would rest easy. But such is not
the case. Warning after warning has
been sounded TO Congress by Repre-
sentative Tawney. chairman Of the
House Appropriations Committee, by
Senator Hale in the Senate. and By
others, that ii was imperative to call
a halt on expenditures. But there is
no halt. The appropriation bills keep
marching on. Not one Of the big sup
ply bills has been passed by the House
and gone 10 the Senate and has been
reported TO that body that failed to con-
