STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES.
Reductions Made in Europe and the
Far East in Campaign to Increase
Use of Kerosene.

New York. - j.. /. Clark. BIZ
whom the standard Oil Company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene in European countries and
the lands of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc.
ton OF the prices of oil in those coun-
tries. Mr.. Clarke's announcement
says in part:
"The Standard Oil Company has in
augarated d campaign 10 increase the
worlds consumption of refined oil.
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any TIME during recent years, and
as a direct result of these prices the
consumption Of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same poll
cy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
As indicated by this statement. the
Standard Company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an,
nouncing that it had in view a cam
paign that would the world. In
August the price of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from 61a to 81
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut ! cent, from 81 to So cents a
gallon.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT roa
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and M.nx
Other Considerations Mark Il a.
Most Suitable Spot for Dedl.
cation Of Great Work.

Pubic sentiment has decided thai
the completion OF the Panama Cana,
IN lsl5 shall be celebrated with 4
great international Exposition n
which all the nations OF the world
may participate; and the question 8.
where this Exposition is to be held
Will be settled by Congress at its Ar.
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Franchises
are contrasting for the honor of hold.
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums q,
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise
An Exposition worthy of the term
worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed.
u~cational movement. It's success "a
such, however, will depend entirelv
upon the percentage Of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up-
on its location, as the time in travel.
Ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the 'Loed.
cal Point for this Panama Exposi.
tion, seem to be fully s~ubstantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans Is 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1 1900. 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within a radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65, 600, 900.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 5000, 900.
At an average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 oil our
principal cities with a combined
population of 20. 200, 1000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a com
bined population of just 1000, 900.
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. of the people Of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco. would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which conyenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and If held In New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could GO to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers TO write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or
leans In the contest.

DEATHFOR52M MEN
CORONER DECLARES THAT AT
LEAST THAT MANY ARE
ENTOMBED
IN COLORADO COAL Mine
Residents of Little Town Stand Mute,
Iy BY as Men Go Down slopes
All Efforts to Reach Bodies
Are Futile.

Starkvi!le, Colorado. - EntOmblcd
by an explosion in the Starkville mine
! Of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., at
least 81 men are the objects of heroic
efforts of rescuers, who worked
throughout Sunday trying to penetrate
the black depth of the mine in the
hope that the imprisoned miners might
be rescued alive.
The presence of black damp made
the work of Tescuers extremely hazard
Gus and time and again members of
parties were overcome.
Those experimenting the work Of
rescue decided that none should enter
the mine until a medium Of protection
in the shape Of a portable fan was in
stalled and rescue work was called off
for the time being. The fan was
mounted on an electric motor car and
gradually pushed forward into the new
slope, working as it went, driving the
gas ahead, and, as was hoped, to an
air shaft thousands of feet inside the
mine, where it might escape into the
open air.
According to an official statement
given out by the coroner, there are in
the mine % Poles, 3 Russians, 10 Aul-
orleans, 4 Russians and l Servian.
While this list only totals 46, tie
o says that he positive that
there are 81 men in the mine.
In addition to efforts to enter tie
mine by the east or new slope, exper-
fenced miners were sent into the
Eagleville mine, which adjoins tire
Starkville property, to dig through tie
masonry wall built to separate tko
mines when the workings ran together
several months ago.
The men who were installing tie
portable fan were overcome and barely
escaped to the entrance of the west
portal with their lives. They had pen
etrated 400 feet when they were sud.
denly enyeloped in black damp. TIE
helmet men, better able to cope with
the after damp, assisted their unpTO-
tected companions out of the mine
and resuscitated them.
The explosion practically destroyed
the east or old slope of the mine. It's
origin is a mystery. The mine has
been classed as a non-gaseous II ana

necessary. 1t is also a pick mine
shot firing being allowed.
Theories advanced, such as the pres,
of gas pockets and other com.
bustible material, are not accepted By
officials of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company as having caused the explo-
sion.

Arguments Presented.

Mr.. Severance opened for the gov
eminent. He will be followed by the
attorneys for the defendants. Mr.. Kel.
logg will close for the government on
Thursday.
Mr.. Severance opened his argument
by tracing, on a large map the routes
of the various lines alleged to have
a community Of interests. He traced
out how the Union Pacific, by reason
Of its connection to Portland, could
dominate the rate situation, and how
lines presumed to be natural competi-
tors-i. e., the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern-had, since
the 'gentleman's agreement was
reached, discontinued all competition
and are now in reality working to-
gether for the transcontinental bust
ness so as to produce the greatest rev.
enue for the consolidated systems.
He insisted the record will show that
so soon as the Union Pacific obtained
control Of As per cent of the stock Of
the Southern Pacific, all soliciting
agencies for both roads throughout
the country were consolidated, and no
further competition was INDUCED.
Railroad Merger Explained.
In 1901 and 1902 the Union Pacific,
in order that it might stifie competi-
ton by the Southern Pacific, according
to the governments case, bought
what amounted to a controlling inter
est in the latter from the widow of
the late G. P. Huntington, builder and
former president OF the Southern Pa
cific. This gave them a controlling
interest in what is known as the "Sun-
set Route" a combined rail and water
route from New York to San Fran
cisco, via New Orleans, Galveston and
the Southern Pacific, as well as a con
trolling interest in the Central Pacific.
from Ogden to San Francisco.
The points in law Mr.. Severance is
arguing follow:
Points of Law in Question.
I'D The maintenance of free com
petition among railways has become
the settled policy OF the nation.
(2.) The Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific lines are naturally competi-
tive, and. but for the control the form
er exercises over the latter through
ownership of stock, would now be corr
peting lines.
CD The acquisition of the con-
trolling interest in the Southern Pa
cifc system by the Union Pacific tend
ed to suppress competition, and there
fore was in restraint Of trade, also
tended to monopoly and is in violation
Of the Sherman act.
(4.) The ownership by the Union
Pacific of less than a majority of stock
in the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe,
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
San Pedro lines tended to suppress
competition and create a monopoly
and is inhibited by the Sherman act.
