A New Kind of Bread.

An entirely new kind of bread,
made either of wheat or rye, is be-
coming popular in Germany. ald is
likely soon to be introduced into this
country. 1t is made of the whole
grain but not according to any me-
thod hitherto familiar,
The grain is terminated by alter
nate sleeping In warm water and
aeration, this being accomplished ~
a simple mechanical apparatus As
soon as rootlets appear it is ready
for use, and is crushed to fineness
between rollers, after which II IS
dropped through a chute into an iroa
trough on the floor below, where II
is kneaded by machine.
The preliminary process is one %
mailing similar to the mailing OF
barley. All the water used in the
sprouting process, which contains n
large part of the mineral salts OF
the grain, is poured into the iron
trough to make the dough. Tins
nothing Is lost. the entire substance
of the grain being included in the
dough. which, with the addition Of
yeast and salt. IS finally formed into
loaves and baked in the ordinary
fashion.
The bread thus made is said to
have delicious flavor, 1t is claimed
for 1t that the process of termination
makes the substances of the grain
much more digestible.

cOuncilmen. His assistant. Herbert
Jones, posed as Il business man in de-
string certain ordinances ana during
Jones talks with the councilmen, Will
son and stenograpner were in the
next room taking a full record of tine
transactions.
While the conferences We're going
on. Councilman Klein had great deal
to say about how completely councils
were controlled by the accused men
the detective said. He also testified that
Klein and Brand each accepted $500
from Jones in paying for securing the
passage of an ordnance.
At a meeting held in another Local
hotel, Klein, it was testified told Will
son how hard it was to divide money
among the councilmen. To illustrate
his remarks Klein described how s45,
O0C had to be split between 60 council
men. This money was received I'll con-
lection with the construction of filter
beds at the new filtration plant ~Of
PittSbure, the witness said.
Councilman Klein, Wilson testified
Said that the councilmen had different
prices. Some councilmen. Klein told
him wanted 500, some SIS, some $2j
and some S.. According to Klein, Will
son related, the S. councilmen We're
known as "Hcodlums." 1t was even
possible to obtain some councilmanic
votes on some measures in return for
a suit of clothes or for street cal
tickets.
With the exception of Klein and
Wasson, the defendants Immediately
renewed their bonds for appearance
for court trial and were released. In
the aggregate the bond amounted tC
$11S,o00.
Klein and WATSON, each accompanied
by a detective. left the rnagistrate's
office at the close of their hearing to
look for bondsmen. They succeeded
several hours later each providing 800,
600 bonds with friends as sureties.
According to the testimony of Will
son today, Klein said among other
things:
You Know I got the buildings and
melons and got them ready for the cut
ting. You know WATSON looks like a
fellow that is hard to reach, but he is
not He was elected as the refornler,
then he came over to our side of the
ship. He was tried and tested and when
he was found to be all right we took
him il on the good things. Now, he
will take the money as fast as the rest
of US. He thinks that he is cheated
once in a while and we have trouble
with him, but when he finds he has
had an equal share of the spoils he is
satisfied.
Nov there is Hugh Ferguson. He
looks all right but he will take the
money too, and Jacob Soffel and Was
son do our floor work. SO you can see

business in this state As long as tha
independent companies do not reduce
prices or increase the aggregate
amount of their sale: above 10 or Is
per cent. of the entire amount Of the
sales made in the state. there is no war
made upon them regarding prices But
whichever an independent company re-
duccs prices below those fixed by the
Waters Pierce Co, or whenever their
aggregate sales exceed Is per cent. Of
all the sales made in the state vigor.
Gus warfare is Waged against them,
chiefly through the Republic Co, by
means of an elaborate system Of espion-
age in their business and cutting prices
or giving rebates. until the independ-
ents are glad to throw up their hands
and say Enough and be content to
sell oil at the prices and in the guam
titles prescribed by the Waters Pierce
Co, and acquiesced in by the Indiana
and Republic Cos.
AS a result OF this method, the
Waters-Pierce Co, fixes the prices for
which all such oils are sold in the state
by all dealers including the independ-
ent companies, and at the same time
and by the same means it controls
and monopolizes for itself and the In.
diana and the Republic Oil Cos. from
IS to 95 per cent. of the entire oil
business of the state.
The common interests running
through all of these companies is re-
sponsible for their formation and bust
ness schemes, and policies. and lead up
to and induce the STANDARD interests,
including the respondents. to divide
the state in twain, to furnish oil and
transpOrtato ion for each other; TO de-
cline to sell to, or to transport oils for,
the independents and to fight them
with the Republic Co, by system OF
espionage and rebates.
The direct effect of those facts
which are seriously disputed was to
create by indirection, pool, trust and
combination in restraint of trade, and
to fix and maintain prices at when
respondents sold the products Of Pc
troleum in this state"
The states custer suit against the
Standard, the Republic and the Waters

years ago. The evidence has been De-
fore the state supreme court Tor

if, Jan. Is. 1909. it can show to the
court that it has taken steps to oper-
ate as an Independent concern and has
satisfied the judgment against it.
The other companies are given until
March !, 1909, to wind up their affairs
in the state.
The decision which was unanimous
on the part of the seven judges. is so
sweeping that Attorney General Had
ley and Gov. Folk hail it as the end of
alleged illegal commercial combina
tons in Missouri and the former as
serts that. in conjunction with the
United States, in the so-called tobacco
trust case ii will affect similar suits
in other states
Attorney General Hadley, who has
prosecuted the Missouri case since its
inception in March, 1905, will be gov
ernor in less than a month and then
will be charged with the enforcement
Of the decree issued today.
The attorney general followed the
decree of the court with a statement
in which he asserts that attempts had
been made to compromise the suit
"At least three efforts have been
made by attorneys for the oil COM
panies to get me to compromise the
cases he said, and 1 refused their Of
fers. The proposals were entirely
legitimate
In coming to it's decision the court
says:
IF such abuses as those complained
of are permitted to continue untram-
melted it will be only a question of
time until they would sap the strength
and patriotism from the very founda-
tions of our government, overturn the
republic. destroy our free institutions
and substitute in lieu thereof some
other form of government" The prin-
cipal indictments against the COM
panies are:
That they have created and be-
come members Of, a pool, trust agree
ment confederation, combination ar
rangement and understanding among
themselves for the following purposes:
First to regulate, fix and control
the prices to be paid by retail dealers
and others in the state of Missouri
for the refined products of petroleum
sold and offered for sale in this state:
Second to control, and limit the
trade in refined products Of petroleum
in this state:
Third to control, limit and prevent
competition in the business of buying
and selling refined products of petrol
cum in this state between themselves
and others engaged in like business:
and, fourth to mislead the public into
belief that they We're separate and
distinct corporations and pursuing an
independent business as legitimate
competitors in the purchase and sale
of the products Of petroleum
In explaining how these wrongful
acts were contaminated. the decision
says:
Prices for the products of petroleum
especially refined oils, Illuminating and
gasoline are fixed by the Waters
Pierce Co. 1t sends out to the trade
card quotations. giving tank, wagon
and barrel prices.
AS a rule these prices are followed
by those of other oil companies. includ-
ing the independent companies doing
