Hundreds of young women are being

workers. Philanthropy is now recog-

from misery. To one accustomed TO

many poor people live seems intolera-

TO PERSECUTE THE JEWS
More Atrocous Than Attempted by
Russia is Campaign Initiated
by Roumania.

Berlin.-Roumania has initiated a
campaign of persecution of Jews, &C
cording to advices to the government
here, equaling anything of which the
Russian government has been guilty.
Acting under orders from the cap
ital, the local authorities are eXpelling
thousands of Jewish families from dis
tricts in which they have been un-
molested for years, and in some cases
for generations.
The eXiles have been reduced to
restitution, but their appeals for
justice are entirely ignored by the
Roumanian government.
The campaign is in violation of
the Berlin treaty, and the German
press is urging the signatory powers
to interfere in the sufferers behalf
The explosions are wholly unex-
planned
An outbreak of Jew-baiting is also
reported at Jaffa, in Palestine, where
Turkish soldiers, police and mob of
Moslem fanatics sacked the ghetto

day by C. ]. Castle, proprietor of the

He told of securing information
about shipments of independent oil
from the w. & L. E. agent at Mas
sillon, o., and from the Pennsylvania
agent at Alliance. These agents were
paid in OIL Blanks, without names or

Castles duties, he said, were to in
stall tank wagons in Independent
fields, cut prices, and force the indie
pendents to sell out. The New Ameri-
can Company was thus driven out at
Oberlin, he said.
Castle said he himself had to sell
out to the Standard when the trust
bought up all tank cars in the country
in 1885. Five other Independent com
panies were crushed in the same way.

HARTMAN HANDED BOUQUET
HE is TRIUMPHANTLY VINDI-
GATED BY ASSOCIATES.
Proposed Issue of Bonds investigated
by Committee of Three Disin-
terested Directors.

New York City.-As the result OF
an investigation which, by no
stretch of the Imagination, could be
called cruel, E. II. Hartman was tri-
umphantly vindicated Friday by his
associates in the directorate of the
Union Pacific. Mr.. Hartman had
been accused of grating in the sale
of other railroad stocks to the Union
Pacific. H. H. Rogers and James
Stillman were similarly accused. AS
Mr.. Hartman controls the Union Pa
cific it was never felt that the verdict
would be harassingly severe. In fact,
1t was not a verdict, but bouquet.
While in an eXonerating frame of
mind the directors refused to grant
the request of certain Connecticut
stockholders to sue Hartman, Rogers
and Stillman to recover profits which
were alleged to have accrued to them
in the deal.
The stocks sold to the Union Pacific
and the manner of selling them have
been the subject of inquiry by the
interstate commerce commission and
Mr.. Hartman refused, "by advice of
counsel" to answer direct questions
as to his interest 1t has recently been
decided by the supreme court that he
must answer. The stocks in question
were those OF the Illinois Central, the
Railroad Securities Co. and the St.
Joseph & Grand Island
The directors said the purchase was
authorized in advance and that Harri-
man, Rogers and Stillman, who had
blocks of the stocks, we're excused
from voting.
