VIRI!A CAPITALISTS OPEN
BANK At TULSA SOON

The Colonial Trust company viii be
open for business about April 20, de-
pending upon the arrival OF the furni-
ture and banking fixtures. The books
and stationery are all here and the
officers have been agreed upon. j.
w. Orr has been chosen president, NJ.
J. Knight OF Vinita and T. A. Pearse
OF Indiana. Pa, will be the vice presi-
dents. E. L. Orr will serve as secre-
tary and treasurer. In addition to the
above board the board of directors is
made up of T. P. Lane, president of
the First National bank Of Columbus,
Kansas, B. E. Capps. and one or two
other local parties not yet chosen. The
capital stock is 100000 with 100000
paid up. The quarters will be on the
ground floor of the Reeder building
at Second and Boston.
Mr.. Pearce represents Pennsylvania
capitalists who have taken part of
the stock and in one of the most prom
inent bankers in that state, having
been associated with Mr.. Clark and
Hon. John B. Elkins, chief justice of
the supreme court of Pennsylvania
Their connection with this institution
will provide for many securities, which
Tulsa can produce of the highest
grade.
This trust company will make loans
on real estate, principally on farm
lands or well located city property in
Tulsa. 1t will buy bonds and will be
equipped and qualified by placing the
bonds with the state department Of
Oklahoma to act as guardian, admins
traitor, executor, trustee and will be
authorized to write fidelity, and fid-
uciary bonds. 1t will accept deposits
subject to check and will issue time
certificates bearing the highest rate of
interest authorized by law.
Such an institution is much needed
in Tulsa, as it will have a tendency
to relieve the local banks from the
pressure of real estate loans and will
assist attorneys in this locality in
handling the affairs of their clients in
more safe and satisfactory manner.
No city ever becomes great until it
has one or more well organized trust
companies. This is the only trust COM
pany in the state which will be work
ing along the strict lines of trust COM
pany business as 1t is carried on in
Kansas City, st. Louis, Chicago and
New York.
Tulsa extends a welcome hand to
the new institution.-Tulsa Democrat.

New Idea in Shifting Trains.

Shifting of trains is carried out with
great simplicity by means of the new
electric locomotive which has been
installed for the purpose at BerIin in
the Tempelhof yaris The locomotive
is built specially for use in depots or
locomotive yards aad uses a storage
battery, being thus quite independent
There are two electric motors, one
on each axle, which give 20 horse
power each, or 40 horsepower for the
entire locomotive. A potential of 300
volts is employed at the terminals of
the battery, and there are 160 cells.
During a series of practical tests
Which were made with the locomotive
it was shown that the working speed
was seven feet per second. and the
weight of the train varied up to 200
tens. The mean weight of the trains
vas co tons. The voltage of each cell
is 2.45 volts at the charging and 2.09
volts on the discharge. Scientific

STANDARD OIL CASE AGAIN
UNDER GOVERNMENT FIRE
CONTINUED From Page ore.)

Illuminating oil sent forth from the
United States.
Sold more than As of all the naphtha
sold in the United States.
Sold more than $40 of all the lub-
ricating oil sold to railroad companies
in the United States.
Throughout the fight the re-organiz.
alton of 1899 was the stormcenter,
and in defense Of that action the legal
talent of the Standard directed its
energy.
The claim was set up that the re-
Organization of 1899 did not restrain
trade by reducing competition, be-
cause "the properties involved in this
suit formed non-competitiye group
prior to the passage Of the Sherman
act in 1890 and their transfer to the
New Jersey corporation in 1899 did
not alter their status or restrict COM
petition"
This same defense was made in the
circuit court That court held that the
power Of the principal company after
the transfer of 1899 to fix the prices
at which the corporations should buy
and sell the articles in which they
dealt, the terms of their purchases
and sales, their rates for the trans
portation of oil and its products and
all the infinite details of their vast op-
erations in which they might compete
was greater, more easily and quickly
exercised and hence more effective
than it could have been in the hands
lof 5000 scattered stockholders. 1t
held that the corporations were poten-
tally competitive if not active COM
lpetitors.
| The government advanced the same
argument before the supreme court,
as 1t had done before the circuit
court. The Standard replied by con.
tending that the doctrine of potential
competition" would mean that one per-
son could be compelled to compete
with himself. The argument over the
subject and the discussion of what
constitutes monopoly consumed
many hours of the hearing.
AS to its monopolistic tendencies
the Standards attorneys entered a
denial, but boasted of its largeness, as
the natural development and out
growth OF business begun nearly fifty
years before
by untiring energy, with infinite
skill, with abundant capital and the
steady reinvestment of early profits"
said Mr.. Watson in his brief prepared
for the court, these men and their
associates created out of an entirely
new, unique and unprecedented pro-
duction Of crude oil, new, universal
ly used and cheapest illuminant the
world has known. They succeeded.
as If one had developed unexpectedly
gold or diamond mine, and abund-
ant revenue legitimately became
theirs"
The reply Of the government to this
line of argument was summed up in
one outburst Of Mr.. Kellog in address
ing the court, when he shouted "They
waved the black flag over the land,
as other had done over sea-"

RUN WITHOUT THE HEADLIGHT.
Wherein British Railroad Trains Differ
from Those of America.

Locomotive headlights as we know
them in this country are practically
unknown in Great Britain, we are
told by a writer in a recent railroad
magazine. There are few grade GROSS
ings there. and these are well pro
tected. so that the light is rot needed
as danger signal, and there Is no
effort to use exceptionally bright
lights to illuminate the track In front
OF train.
The situation is not without its
advantages. Bright headlights modify
or obliterate the feeble colored lights
Of signals and switches, and they daz-
zle the eyes of the drivers on passing
trains. In this country the headlight
seems to be a necessity. To be eff
fective 1t should be sufficiently bril-.
liant to illuminate the track for dis
tance greater than that within which
-he brakes can stop the train, but 1t
must not be SO powerful as to blind
approaching trains crews and modify
the colors of signal lights. 1t should
also be as effective as possible In fog
gy and snowy weather.
The oil lamp hardly meets these
conditions; 1t is too feeble, even with
a proper reflector. Electricity is too
powerful and has been abandoned by
some of the roads that have intro
duced 1t. Acteylene. which is now SO
familiar as an illuminant on automo.
