STANDARD IN CONTROL?
SAID to Haze acquired c. 6 O. as
Wedge in Coal Trade.
TBy Teiegrsph TO The Tribune. !

Pfttsburg, Feb. s.-The positive assertion is
made in Pittsburg to-day that control of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad has been acquired
by the Standard OIL Company and that the oil
concern VIII at once enter the coal carrying
trade between West Virginia, Ohio and the lakes
The admission that the Standard is in control
was wrung from the Chesapeake & Ohio by
other coal carrying roads, which had demanded
that 1t cease carrying coal to the lakes for al
most third OF mill q ton mile less than
actual cost OF transportation.
The Standard OIL Company owns the con-
trolling interest in this road. and we will make
and maintain any rate choose either to the
lakes or to the seaboard," was the reply. 1t is
asserted here that the Standard has at last
worked out line to the lakes direct, aided by
Joseph Ramsey, who was for many years head
Of the Gould interests. but who now has control
OF lines extending practically from the lakes
to the Ohio River at Pomeroy, Ohio.

main had been relieved she accompanied him out
side and picked out four youths who. she said,
the guilty ones Hoolihan arrested them.

n charge of felonious assault be made against the
four young men, and they were taken back TO the
9Th street station. They will be arraigned in the
Yorkvile court to-day and Miss Bernstein promised
TO be there to appear against them
