OWNERS
MAKE ANOTHER HOWL.

Another howl from property
Owners who have been assessed
for more than the engineer
charges amounted to on a local
improvement district is coming to
the council wednesday in a pro-
test from residents along the new
paving on South Eighth and
South l. streets.
They say the engineering esti-
mate or this district was $3,500,
but that really the engineering
cost but S1,070. leaving over $2,-
400, out of which they will be
beaten unless the council comes
to their relief.
Engineer Raleigh has sent let
ter to Commissioner Woods ex-
planning how it happened. He says
when the district was being work
ed up storm sewer drainage was
also being worked up to go under
the paving, but that it was let in
"a separate contract and complet-
led. The sewer system had to be
put in before the paving, he said,
but the engineering got mixed up
on the two jobs and appears all
taxed up to the paving job.
Raleigh says if there is any ex-
cess on the estimate it is up to
the controller to bring it to the
attention of the officials and
have it rebated.

STANDARD OIL
co. PIRATE
IN TRADE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.-
Charges that the Standard Oil CO.,
is pirate in trade and that its
customs is to deliberately wreck the
business of small competitors by
price cutting. were among the ac-
cusations made against the alleged
trust here today by Frank Il Kel-
logg, federal trust buster" when he
resumed his argument before the
United states supreme court for the
dissolution of the company.
During twenty years" said KEEL
logg, the Standard OIL Co. has tn
creased the price of oil from SO to
I65 per cent"
Tho policy, Kellogg went on to
say, had been the guiding star of
the combination since it's formation.
The only points where oil has been
cheapened by the tandard was at
those places whore the trust was in
competition with in dependents and
there the tSandard scaled down it's
prices, but only to crush out oppo-
sition. When that was accomplished
Kellogg declared. the era of low
prices for petroleum products soon
vanished and the rates went to a
higher level.

Riding the waves" Is a great
aquatic pastime on our consider
able rivers and lakes. The waves
are produced by steamboats, or
vessels, as they are called. A
smaller boat driven on these agi-
tations of the watery surface is
treated to rocking motion
which is very exhilirating If one
dsassociates the experience from
the peril incurred. For, should
the tiny craft become upset, or
overturned, one could easily be-
come drowned, or even wet.
am reminded of a very de-
plorable incident in which a small
youth named Obadia iOglesmith
figured. Young Oglesmith es-
sayed to ride the waves"
We now see him in the wake
of the steamship.
Too bad that he is In a flat
'bottomed johnIboat and no help

Friends of the retiring admiral
today began pulling wires across
the continent to head off possi-
BILE airing of his alleged disgrace
in a courtmartial. Hundreds of
kilograms asking that the admi-
rails request for retirement be
acted upon were forwarded from
San Francisco and Mare Island to
persons influential in the navy,
from Secretary Geo. L. Won Mey-
er down. The substance of most
of these messages was that Admi-
raj Barrys explanation of the
predicament in which subordinate
officers on the West Virginia say
they found him Tuesday night be
accepted. They urge that for the
whole affair be allowed to drop.
Want Thorough Probe.
On the other hand, officers who
are convinced of the admiraPs
guilt, will insist that he be treat
ed the same as any other man in
the navy. His rank, they believe,
instead of serving him as a shield,
should be an argument against
him. Officers of the West Vir-
ginia who figured in the expose
are expected to vote solidly for
a courtmartial. Whether they
will be able to offset the influ-
ence of the admiral's friends will
decide the navy department fu-
ture action, it is believed.
In connection with the charges
against Admiral Barry, it is said
six sailors on board the West
Virginia are held incommunicado
In the navy hospital. Among them
is L. A. Warner, the sailor men
toned in statement by Admiral
Barry, as one of those in his
cabin when officers of the ship,

said to have witnessed the alleged
criminal actions of the aged ad-
miral. Kennedy, another sailor,
said to have been involved, is said
to have vanished.
