Uncle Sam Boycotts Standard Oil


Secretary of War Dickinson has is
sued an order forbidding any officer or
employe of the War Department from
purchasing oil from the Standard Oil
Company or any of its subsidiary con-
Germs. This action was taken as a re-
srlt of the recent decree of the United
States Circuit Court for the Eastern
District If Missouri, in which the Stan.
dard Oil Company was declared to be
a trust. Several months ago Dickinson
laid down the rule that officers and en-
ployes of the War Department should
not purchase supplies from concerns
which had be held by the courts to be
trusts. This rule was first applied
against the American Tobacco Com.
pany. The order against the Standard
OIL. however, is much larger in its scope
and applies to all purchasing officers,
not only in every corps Of the Army.
but also upon the Canal Commission
and other civil branches of the Wa
Department.

HIS AEROPLANt

New York Inventor vii Deliver New
Model Machine to Government.

New York June 15.-For the first
time A. NJ. Herring, the aeroplanist,
gave out definite information cOncern-
ing the machine that he will deliver
to the government between June Is
and July l at Fort Myer.
There has been much speculation
as to whether it would be the orig
inal Herring machine, which was
technically delivered to "he war de-
partment at Washington last August
or one built by the new company of
Curtiss & Herring at Hammondsport.
1t is now positively decided that it
will be a machine constructed by the
company.
Mr.. Herring says the aeroplane will
be the smallest yet built. Its entire
weight, including the engine, will be
less than 200 pounds, and is similar
in type to the one just completed by
MIR. Curtiss for the Aeronautic So
ciety. which embodies the ideas of the
two inventors. Mr.. Herring said
there is a difference in the latter as
to control, and that he will use a
four bladed propeller instead of the
two-blade 1t will be equipped with
skid, while the other machine has
three wheels.

Speech.

Washington, June 15.-The Philip
pine tarin was again before the Sem
ate today. Senator Bulkeley of Con-

respect to the admission of tobacco

trip to Europe with Mrs. Gould and
Elijah Sells her cousin. When asked
if he had found Mrs. Gould under the
influence Of drink the first time he
saw her at the castle. the question was
objected to on the ground thatNit was
not sufficient cause for abandonment
even if she was. Attorney Shearn for
Mrs. Gould then cited several preced-
ents and this precipitated an argu-
men;

was intoxicated. The court held thai
these were proper to show cause why
Gould did not remain at home. Nal

Mrs Gould because he realized she
