STANDARD OIL BENEFITS.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: While so many seem to enjoy max

that company has done for the people. fne
millions who have now no means of llght-

In view Of these facts, Will any one
deny that the Standard oil Company has
been a great henefactor 10 the people? IL
is urged that the profits have been large.
Is there any one I'm business who IS not
striving for large profits? The millions
given for education and scientific research
by Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Archbold Will

BrryERJNG PICTURE SHOWS.

ON the subject of the moving picture
show. to which we have often referred,
thc Moving Picture Conference, BODY
which is seeking to-prescTNc this anuse-

conditions surrounding it. calls attention
10 a fault of the laws in this city which
is undoubtedly responsible for some of
the existing evils. As the ordinances
stand. house which seats less than
three hundred may he licensed as q

Of AS Men Drawn, S Perr1a-

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. .18.-In
the Mcnamara trial today, Judge
Bordwell qualified the eighth
panel of veniremen for interroga-
ton by both sides.
To date AS men have been
drawn, from whom five perma7
nent jurors and one tentative
juror have been secured. There
are fewer than 800 names left of
the original jury list, and when
it is exhausted the sheriff will
have to draw the jurors from the
regular, county tax lists, with the
supervision of the Superior court.
Unless the attorneys show
greater willingness to aid the
- "
court in qualifying jurors, Judge
Bordwell will order night ses-
sions next week, and he is deter
mined, that, a jury shall. be COM
pleted by. December J..
The court is now sitting from
8 "a m. until 5 p. m, with a brief
luncheon recess The lawyers
complain they are compelled to
work too hard, but the court re-
fuses to accept excuses. He says
