OIL COMPANY MUST PAY
Texas State Courts Competent to
Impose Large Fine.
United States Supreme Bench IMAM
imous in Filming Waters-Pierce
Oil Company.

Washington, D. C.-The Supreme
Court of the United States affirmed
the decree of the State courts of Texas
imposing a fine of s~1,623,0O0 on the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, of st.
Louis, and ousting it from the State
on the charge of violating the Texas
antitrust law.
The court also sustained the action
of the Texas State courts in the ap-
pointment of Robert J. Eckhardt as
receiver, and thus again decided
against the company, which sought to
have sustained the action of the Fed
eral court in appointing C. B. Dor
chester at the instance of the COM
pany.
The decisions in all the cases were
unanimous.
The case turned on the point as to
whether the proceedings Of the State
against the company had been in ac-
cordance with the constitutional re-
quirement for due process of law and
the court held that It was. While re-
garding the fine as very large, Justice
Days opinion held that the State
court was competent to impose it..
One of the receivership cases came
to the court on a writ of error from
the Supreme Judicial District Court.
of Texas, and the other from the Uni
ted States Circuit Court Of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit, in both of which
courts the decisions were favorable
to the State.
The principal opinion in the cases
was handed down in the custer case
involving the fine imposed by the
State courts.
Dealing with the contention that
the alleged conspiracy between the
'Waters-Pierce Company and the STAN
dard Company to control the price of
oil in Texas was outside the State of
Texas, and, therefore, not within the
Jurisdiction of the Texas State courts,
Justice Day said that the agreement
had been executed within the State.
This circumstance was, he said, con-
elusive with the court that the convic-
ton was had for acts inside the States
borders.

Chicago. - A strange secret OF
thirty-one years standing was re-
vealed when more than a cor of
prominent Chicago physicians and
+ surgeons admitted that they were
members of the Ustion Fraternity, a
society having for its object the dis
section of the bodies of Its members
after death and cremation Of the re-
mains.
This weird fraternity, to which
only members Of the medical profes-
sion are admitted, is of national
scope. Its headquarters are in a
well furnished clubhouse at 1892
Lake Park avenue.
Chapters exist in New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit
and other cities. Its membership Is
taken from the ranks of the, most
prominent practitioners in different
parts of the United States.
Each chapter is known as a verte-
bra. The. Chicago chapter, being the
first organized, is called the Prime
Vertebra." It's high officer is known
as the 'encephalon," and its next
highest officer Is the "medulla." Its
OCner On1cerS are anne lOT OLuer
parts of the human body.
The members of the fraternity
must undergo a preparation or ap-
premiership of four years before they
are admitted to full knowledge Of its
weird rituals. During this period
each must study some physiological
or medical problem entirely original
in his own mind. If his faith and
perseverance, in the ironclad rules of
the society are deemed doubtful he
does not become a partof the body"
If the showing Is complimentary the
fantastic ceremonials are admins
tered. The society Is divided into
three degrees" through which It's
members must pass. They are fra
ternity, autopsy and cremation.
DR.. P. M. Oliver, who lives in this
city, is the supreme encephalon or
national head of the Ustionians.

FIRE RACES At MESs|NA
Fear That Possible Survivors
Were Burned to Death.
Warships in Harbor Sounded Alarm
With Fog Horns and Sailors and
Soldiers We're Rushed to Scene.

Messins, Sicily. "A serious fire
started here among the ruins made
by the earthquake. The remains of
the Pennesi palace fell in and added
to the outburst.
The flames spread in spite Of the
feverish work of the soldiers to con-
troll them. and the situation became
serious. \.
An odor of burning flesh mingled
with the smoke, and 1t Is feared that
persons still alive were consumed. A
large number OF corpses undoubtedly
were burned.
The flames lad their centre in the
Pennesi palace, but they spread over
the ruins of the City Hall and the
|. Bank of Italy. Tongues Of fire leaped
upward, while sparks fell in a heavy
shower for a considerable distance.
The alarm was sounded on bugles,
while warships in the harbor blew
their fog horns and soldiers and sail
ors hurried to the scene in large num-
bers. 3
A strong wind helped to spread the
flames, and the men experienced great
difficulty in working the pumps. The
remains Of the beautiful promenade
along the harbor front undoubtedly
were destroyed, and there is a strong
probability that the havoc will be
much more widespread.
It Is supposed that the flames have
been latent under the wreckage for
days, and that the high wind during
the night famed them into activity. ;
longing to Baron Pennesi Is safe at
AcireaIe, near Catania, 'but many i'm
portant and valuable objects of art
buried in the ruins never will be re-
covered. =,
The Duke of Genoa is here work
ing in the interest Of the survivors.
He made a heroic rescue OF a dement,
ed woman, who insisted upon forcing
her way into a burning pile OF ruins
to save her husband, who, she de-
clared, was being burned alive. 5
He dragged her back from the
flames, and eye witnesses declare he
almost lost his own life in 80 doing.
A large section Of the quayside
walls collapsed during the progress
of the fire. The Ere fighters worked
at terrible disadvantage on account OF
lack of water and the fact that there
are no open spaces to check the pro-
gress of the flames.
A large amount of yaluables is
known to have been buried beneath
the debris, and are now irretrievably
lost, as the ruins contained much in
fammable material:
The flames consumed the bodies 1T
many scores of victims of the earth
quake which had not yet been extri-
Gated from the ruins before they
could be got under control.

SECRET JUST OUT ABOUT A DOCTORS WEIRD
FRATERNITY WITH A FANTASTIC RITUAL
Organization Never Before Heard OF Has Chapters II
Many Cities and Originated in Chicago--Mem-
bers Give Bodies to Science, Then to Flames.

This strange fraternity had it's in.
ception at Hahnemann College, In
this city, in 1878. During the thirty.
one years Of its existence its weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret. It's members at the
end of their probationary period take
an oath that silences their tongues
forever.
The life on this earth is enjoyed to
its utmost by them. At the end their
colleagues, attired in long white sur.
gical gowns, gather about the bier on
which lie the earthly remains Of their
friend. The spirit they know has de.
parted, and the clay that Is left Is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At a crematory all
that remains is given yer to the
flames. The doctor that was Is re-
duced to a handful Of dust.
|. DR.. Fred w. Wood, former su.
preme e%ncephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur.
pose of autopsy and cremation. "We
believe in three degrees" said DR..
Wood. They are fraternity, which
means the real fellowship on this
earth; autopsy after death, which
helps all mankind, and cremation.
which puts an end to the earthly
shell that remains after the spirit
has flown" -
What is done at the autopsy
was asked.
"I-'cannot say" replied DR.. Wood
"Our oaths are solemn. What we do
to the body Is all in the interest OF
science. 1t does no harm and it ad.
vances our knowledge"
what Is the fraternity's belief in
regard to cremstion?" was asked.
I'VE believe that cremation is pro.
per. The body is but clay, and soon.
er or later becomes but a handful OF
dust. When it Is given over to the
fire all Is ended. The translation OF
'Ustion' mean FIRE"

ment: :
AFTER comforting with the leading
members of both branches of the
Legislature I am convinced that no

ticularly the members Of u Legis-
lature appreciate the efforts being
made by the Federal Goyernmept,and
Che representatives Of Japan to stop
emigration to this country Of Japan
csc laborers, skilled and unskilled.
There can be no doubt that the
Japanese Government is acting abso-
lutely in good faith in its endeavor to
prevent its people from emigrating
to our country, and in my judgment
it would be q serious mistake while
they are so doing to enact any laws
directed against the Japanese people
