EMPEROR IS AFTER
JUHN O'S. SCALP
Oil King is Up Against Real
Proposition in
Austria.

BERLIN, July 16-The govern
ment OF Austria has finally decided
to help the national oil industry by
administrative measures in their bat
tie against the Standard OH subsidi-
aries, especially the Austrian Vacuum
OH Company. and SO the battle will
from now on be conducted by the two
princes Emperor Francis Joseph as
the head of the government of Aus
tria. and John II. Rockefeller, ruler
of untold millions of Standard Oil
dollars.
1t was originally intended to strike
against the American octopus By leg
islation. but the Austrian government
has seen that this method would be
too slow, and now quicker means to
drive John DIS representatives out of
Austria will be adopted. and the
methods Of the Standard OIL Com
pany are to be met by Increased
freight rates on all Austrian railroads,
which are controlled by the State and
cannot be bought or corrupted,
For the first time in his life prob
ably John u. will meet his master,
and Francis Joseph's government wiz
be victor unless the government at
Washington interferes and objects to
the restriction OF the output of the
American company in Austria TO its
original concession of 10000 tons a
year but this the Austrian govern
ment. reckoning with the strong anti
Standard oil feeling in Washington,
considers most unlikely thing to
happen.

She then went to the depot and
claimed her own trunk, getting 1t by
telling the baggagemaster the con-
