TO THE PUBLIC,

Editor THE CHRONICLES
My attention is called to the an
nouncement that special election
has been ordered for May II to
name an Alderman, based on the
assertion that r. ID. McCord and
myself tied in the regular election.
I desire to state through your
paper that my contention is that [
was legally elected at the regular
election, receiving rs votes where
r. ID. McCord received "a votes
and r. w. McCord received /. [
shall pay no attention to this spe-
cial election, and trust that mono
of my friends and supporters will
participate in it.
When the new Board meets to
qualify [ shall be present and pre-
sent my claim and ask to be prop
erly sworn in as Alderman.

pany and Save Them

Vienna, June 1T.-The Austrian
press and public are excited and in.
dignant over the news that the
Standard oil company Is in absolute
control of the Austrian petroleum
fields A contract which has been
completed betwee0 the Galican Oil
producers and the Standard oil com.
pany appears to have given all the
advantages to the Americans. The
American trust is to build reservoirs
at cost Of $t000,o00 1t will get
back 81 100000 in rent in four years
after which half the reservoirs be-
como the Standards own property.
still more important is the provision
that the Galician ell producers arc
bound to furnish the STANDARD Oil
company with 10000 tons of raw OF
yearly In case the prices reaches
a certain figure The American CON
cern will receive "A neavy rebate
while the Austrian retincrs are
charged the fuIl market price.
The Standard Oil company thus
gains absolute control of five-sixths
of the oil consumed in Austria, en-
abllng If to crrsh ali opposition. Be.
sides this the Standard gains control
of the export trade amounting to 510,-
00i tons annually. 1his will be eX
tremely valuable to the Americans,
as the competitors of he Austrian
exports IN recent years has interfered
seriously with the Standards, trade
in Europe, especially in Germany.
Meanwhile the press urges par'ia-
mcnt to come TO the assistance Of the
home petroleum inausjry and prevent
producers and public alike from fall
