K. ". M'NEIL IS FIRST PRISONER
 OF. COP MOT0RIST

Kenneth Wylie McNeil was arrest ed by Special Policeman Clifford Cor gus, who on motor cycle dashed creek after McNeiPs automobile yes- terday morning and caught him just before McNeil reached Fairfield. MT. McNeil is the first automobilist to be brought into police headquarters by Gorgus, who has been delegated by Supt. Birmingham to apprehend speeding motorists. Gorgus preferred a charge of overspeeding against him. MT. McNeil was released on his own recOgniZance, and today when the facts were laid before Prosecut- ing Attorney Delaney he would not prosecute.
 MT. McNeil and a party set out yesterday morning for Fairfield when they passed Gorgus, who had been stationed by Supt. Birmingham in the West End to look out for speeders. Gorgus admitted he pursued McNeiI only two-tenths of mile, and that although he was obliged to go con- siderably faster than McNeil to over take him, his own speedometer did not register more than B miles per hour.
 The law allows automobilists 1-S of a mile at 25 miles per hour. When Prosecutor Delaney figured out his chances of conyicting MT. McNeil on the testimony of Gorgus, he thought they were pretty small, and he de- clined to draw a warrant.

OIL TRUST
 GETS HARD BLOW TODAY

Washington, May 2.-The Supreme Court of the United States today dealt a hard blow to the Oil Trust. In a sweeping decision the court unani- mously affirmed the decision of the Tennessee Supreme Court, busting the Standard Oil Company of Kentucky from the state and adjudging 1t a trust in restraint of trade.
 The case originated in an custer suit against the oil company brought by the state under the antitrust law of 1903 on which it was alleged that the Standard Oil was a combination in restraint of trade and by improper competitive methods sought to sup press independent oil sellers. On May IT, 1904, the company was in- dicted and the attorney general of the state then instituted suit to can eel the company's permit to busi- ness
 The Supreme Court of, Tennessee affirmed this decree in 1907. The company secured a writ of error aI- leging that corporation was not amenable to the state law and de- claring that if the law was enforced against them the result would be a deprivation of property values.

We Crow a Little.

Last Wednesday when we wrote our challenge we had doubts. The public had been fooled so many times on tricky ads. and fake sales we wondered if a square deal was still in style. We didn't know how to write an ad. but we had an honest purpose We knew we had the best made clothing in the country and we knew we were selling it cheaper than any one had ever sold it before, so we told our little story in our own way. The crowds in our store all cay Saturday proved that a reliable house offering merchandise at a low price can still hold the publics con- fidence and do all the business they can handle. We have proved beyond question that the Besse System is in a class by itself for honest goods at the lowest price that honest goods can be sold for. We are proud of our merchandise, we are proud of the pleased customers we have made these few days, we are proud of the confidence the public still has in the good old honest store after 34 years of square dealing. The sale lasts the rest of the week if the stock holds out Foster-Besse Co. Main St.

AS he turned into Fairfield avenue from Mt. Grove street a sharp instrument of some sort flew up from the roadway, probably struck by his front tire, and tore through his right shoe. The leather was cut as if by a razor and his foot badly lacerated.
