STANDARD ON DEFENSIVE
vice President of Ohio Corporation
Says IL Made Cuts to Meet
Competition.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-Testimony in jus
LITIGATION of the business methods of the
Standard Oil company was given today by
Vice President Squires OF the Standard
Oil company OF Ohio. in the hearing of the
governments suit charging violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. According to the
testimony of Mr.. Squires the Standard OIL
company of Ohio was the pioneer oil dis
tributing company Of Ohio, and not until
rival companies invaded the field and at
tempted to undersell the Standard did the
Standard r~etaliate by making the cuts in
prices.
As for the operating OF the Cleveland Oil
Distributing company by the Standard
there has never been any attempt on the
part of the Standard to deny ownership Of
the Cleveland company, he said.
The charge that this subsidiary Of the
Standard had driven out of business by
unfair means, some two hundred indepen-
dent peddlers, was. he declared, entirely
u~nfounded. The advent of natural gas at
70 cents per thousand feet had been the
instrument at work, not the Standard.
Questioned as to the alleged secret own
ership and operation of the Toledo works,
and the new American Oil company, Mr.,
Squires explained that the reason the
Standard had not admitted ownership OF
the companies mentioned at once was that
it wished gradually to convert the custom
ers of the absorbed companies from the
practice Of purchasing oils in barrels to
that of buying 1t from tank whgons. AS
soon as this had been accomplished, he
said, the standar had assumed official as
we'll as actual ownership.
The meeting was adjourned until tomor-

EBERHARD TRIAL BEGINS
New Jersey Man ArraiEned for Al
legged Murder of Aunt whom
He Lured from Austria.

HACKENSACK, N. j., Sept. 22-Augu tn
Eberhard. under indictment for the murder
Of Mrs. Ottilie Eberhard, his aunt, and the
att empted murder Of Miss Ottilie Bberhard,
his cousin, whom he is alleged to have
lured TO this country from Austria, with
intent TO kill and rob them. was put on
trial here today. and before the close of
the days proceedings the taking of testi-
mony was well under way. The prosecu-
ton. after opening its case, called Miss
Cttilie Eberhard, its chief witness.
Miss Eberhard testified that she had come
to this country with her mother on the
representation Of her cousin, the prisoner.
He met them at the pier, she said, and two
days later called at their hotel in New
York to take them for a walk. He pro-
posed to cross over to New Jersey, and
they we're walking along the track Of the
Susduehanna railroad, near Rochelle Park,
in the gathering darkness, when she heard
a shot. She was in the lead, her mother
was following and her cousin was in the
rear. She said her mother cried out: Come
and help me; lightning has struck me-"
There was n second shot, and this time she
felt something hit her on the shoulder.
She was running away, she said, at Eber-
hard's suggestion. when she heard five or
six more shots. Her hat was struck, and it
was put in evidence, showing a hole that
apparently was made by a bullet. The
witness went on to say that she had not
stopped. TO ascertain from whence the shots
came. but had run on until she reached the
house of a farmer, where she was taken
in for the night.
Two witnesses were called to establish
the fact and the manner Of Mrs. Eber-
- - L-I.v
and the case was adjourned until tomor-

firemen and policemen. This remark led
to an informal discussion of the matter
and of the practice of members of the two
departments in borrowing money from
foam sharks. Acting Mayor Johnson, who
presided in the absence of Mayor Dahl
man, was told that II he would intro
duce a measure in the city council aimed
against the sharks, the fire and police
board would do all it could to have it en-
forced. 1t was also suggested that a
meeting might be held, when all members
of the two forces, who owe merchants,
loan sharks and others could be lined up
for a lecture. In the minds of the COM
missioners the matter is of great import,
as it is said that two-thirds of the firemen
and one-third of the policemen are in the
clutches of the salary loan agencies.
Chief Salter of the fire department, in
a letter to the board, proposed that the
bills for water used by his department in
1907, which are still unpaid, be paid out
of the balance remaining from the 1907
fire fund. 1t seems, however, that this
balance, amounting to over $3.50. has been
transferred to the sinking fund and prob
ably cannot be reached now. The chiefs
letter was placed on file, and the board
told him that IL he could devise any way
of getting the money out of the sinking
fund, the commissioners would be glad to
discharge the debt. Some time ago the
water company notified the board that
unless the bill was paid the water supply
Of the fire department would be shut off.

Since Charles NJ. Stegeman, a recently
appointed p~atrolman, took up his new
duties on the police force, his past record
has been investigated by Chief of Police
Dcnahue, and as a result he has been sus-
pended from the department. The chief
recommended that the board accept his
resignation, but at Monday nights meet
ing the board instructed the chief to file
charges against Stegeman for making false
when he was examined for the
, position Of patrolman.
A fine of s. was imposed upon Fireman
Clair Cummings for reporting late for
duty on September &c. This action was
taken in an attempt to stop firemen from
breaking the rules in this respect.
Charges against Firemen Robert Rey-
uolds, Fred A.. Fitzpatrick and william
Baxter were dismissed after the board
had heard their explanations and investi-
gated their past records. In one case the
only thing that saved the man from dis
missal was the fact that II he were pun
ished his family would be the greater
sufferer.
Leaves OF abserce were granted as fol-
lows: PatTolman Il. j. O'Connor, ten days
with and twenty days without pay; Fire
men Fred i. Bugbee, Clair Cummings,
Charles Leypoldt, Robert Oliver and FIRE
Captain George c. Miller, short leaves
without pay. In the cases Of several Of
the firemen the leaves were granted to
allow the men to make filings for govern
ment land.
