OIL COMPANY WINS
VICTORY IN IOWA
Supreme Court Says Indiana Concern
Did Not Violate States Unfair
Competition Law.

The Standard Oil company of In
diana, indicted in Lyon county for al
legged violation of the Iowa unfair
competition law, won victory in the
supreme court last week. The high
tribunal handed down an opinion af-
firming the action of the lower court
in dismissing the Indictment against
the alleged "oil' trust
In the. original Indictment it was
charged that the Standard Oil Com
pany violated the Iowa unfair compe'
ution and discrimination law by sell
ing the same grade of oil higher in
Doom in Lyon county than it did in
Alton in Sioux county.
A demurrer to this indictment was
filed by the oil company's attorneys
claiming that the indictment was not
good because the alleged offense was
not against the citizens of Doom, but
against the citizens of Alton, where
the low prices were charged. 1t was
claimed that the Indictment should
have been returned in Sioux county
III UulS contention lne lower COuIt
upheld the oil company and sustained
the demurrer. The supreme court tool,
the same view of the question.
The high court not only found that
the offense, if there were one, was
committed by the oil company ir
Sioux county, put also that the indict
ment returned failed TO show any of
tense to have been committed in Ly
on county.
There could be no sitting of com
petition or creation of monopoly il
Doom by selling at higher rate thar
| in Alton, says the court in its opin
ion ITO constitute the offense charg
ed there must have been selling in
Doom at a lower rate than in some
other community
Further the opinion says:
1T is clear = us that the indict
ment was drawn under an entire mis-
! apprehension of the purpose Of the
/ statute. which, as above indicated
was not 10 prevent injury to the con
sumer by charging too much, but n
| jury to the public by stiffling compe
ton and creating monopoly.

Light Company Slightly Crippled.

Light Company Slightly Crippled.
About the only damage sustained by
the property OF the Keeokull Electric
Light and Power CO.. was the break.
ing of several arc circuits in the city.
At Ninth and Timea, Sixteenth and
Johnson and Sixteenth and Carroll
streets, trees fell across the arc wires
breaking them, or the weight of ice
bore the heavier type of wires to the
ground.
Car service was resumed last night
after being Off all day Saturday. Com
mercial power was shut off in the
city during the greater part Of the day,
a protective step taken by the power
company, as there is always danger
of dangling and broken telephone
wires becoming charged with heavy
voltage of electricity and endangering
the lives of citizens who may not be
careful in passing them.
The incandescent circuit was kent
on all day The damage to the wires
of the electric light and power com
pany is light in comparison with the

The Telephone Companies.

i
Both the Bell and the Home phone
lines suffered severely crippled sys-
tens, the latter company the worst of
the two from reports. Not enough
men have been available to take hold
OF the wire work at the Home phone

what men he has, have been working
under difficulties.
Not toll wire out Of the city was
in working order Saturday and it was
not possible at midnight OR an early
hour this morning to secure toll
communication with any other neigh
boring cities.
From information obtained by tele-
graph, the situation is practically the
same at Burlington and Quincy and
intervening cities, also east as far as
Galesburg. 1t was possible to get a
train wire through to Hannibal this
noon at the Western Union offices.
Worst In 81 Years.
j. w. Nichols, wire chief of the Bell
Telephone company. said yesterday:
In my thirty-one years connection
with the Bell Telephone company in
this city, never before saw condi-
tions SO bad as they are at the pres
ent time. The trouble lies in all
parts OF the city and in no one place
more than another. The ice freezing
on the wires has wrought a great
amount of damage and it will take a
week at least to repair the breaks.

fast as possible. The commercial dis
trict is practically all repaired and
the phones there in working order
| The entire damage to the wires can
not be estimated at this time. We
have eighteen men and two teams

as speedily as possible all circuits
will be connected. There are fifteer
