STANDARD OIL
MAKES A STATEMENT
Corporation Through Its Attorney Be-
Titles the Monnett Story of
Attempted Bribery.

CLEVELAND, o. Octet 6.-S. H.
Tolles, member of the firm of Kline,
Tolles & Golf, attorneys for the Stand
ard Oil company, last night issued a
statement giving the Standard Oil COM
pany's side Of the charges of attempts
to bribe F. S. Monnett, formerly attor-
ney general Of Ohio.
According to this statement the
charge that Monnett had been offered
100000 less 100000 commission, to
discontinue the prosecution of the
Standard Oil campaign was first made
public in 1899 by George Rice.
At first, the statement says, Monnett
denied such an offer had been mace,
and afterwards intimated there was
some truth in it, The attorneys for
the company demanded the name Of
the person offering the bride Nearly a
month later Monnett filed statement
in the supreme court alleging that
some one had intimated he could get
100000 to discontinue the suits. The
company's attorneys Immediately filed
a motion requiring Monnett to name
the briber. Twenty-Five days later, the
attorneys say, Monnett named G. B.
Squires as the man. In New York
paper Squires declared Monnett's al
legation to be absolutely false" On
Dec. 10 following the court unanimous
ly ordered the whole matter stricken
from the files, because there was no
competent evidence to connect the
company with the alleged offer.

for these purposes is the prime cause
of stomach troubles, rheumatism and

War department figures just issued
show that the army enlstments for
the year ending September 80, were
44,99S. or three-fifths of the maxi
mum enlisted strength of the present
army. The force recruited for the
last quarter of this year was the Sec
ond largest of the year, indicating
that there is no falling off in the en-
llstments. These figures have caused
army officers generally to ponder.
Many think that within a few weeks
a general order will be issued to stop
all new enlistments, and only re-en-
list old soldiers for the time being,
Although enlistments are on the in
crease in the east, all the large sta
tions in the northwest, Seattle. Port
land and Spokane. show a decided
falling off in enlstments. Recruit
ing officers state that this probably is
due to the more plentiful work in this
section. The enlistments are growing
at san Francisco as well as in the
east. and in the last quarter there
were more enllstments in San Fran
cisco than in any other city in the
country with the exception of New
York City. The total enlistments in
New York City for the three months
were 1899, or enough to fill two reg
iments on a peace footing. At san
Francisco 571 men were enlisted.
On January l of this year the Se-
attic recruiting office was in twen-
tieth place in number of enlistments
with 152 enlistments for the three
months preceding. on September 30
the Seattle office had dropped to 55th
place, with only 20 enlistments for
the preceding three months. In Oc-
tober there were 26 enlistments, or
about the same proportion as enlist
ed in the summer months.
For the three months ending Sep
tember 30, 11,345 men were enlisted
in the - recruiting offices of the
country. In the quarter ending June
80. 10,27S men enlisted. and in the
quarter ending March 80, there were
13,2S7. In the quarter ending De-
cember 81, 1907, there were 1O,0SS
enlisted. In the months of July, Au-
gust and September, 1907, only 5,4Si
enlisted in the entire country,
The number of enlistments needed
every year to keep the army up to its
maximum strength is 24,500. During
the past year the enlistments have
exceeded this by more than 10000.
All the regiments in the northwest
are enlisted up.
