BILE Is on the apex of the pinnacle OF
the now celebrated case.
Much difference in opinion is ex-
pressed In the celebrated case, charg-
ing the Standard OH Co. with peddling
oil without q license In Swansboro,
Chesterfield county, suburb of Rich
mond. Local officers of the big oil trust
decline to talk on the subject, but trust
buster, Magistrate Cheatham Is of the
opinion that he has .uumistakable proof
OF the Oil Co, violating the peddlins

The cheese merchant then went to

officer then arrested the man on the
charge of peddling.
Attorney Mathews endeavored &c
force the officer into an admission thai
the arrest was made purify for the
personal benefit he would derive from
it in getting half the fine, but officer
Jerroll said he made the arrest In the
interest of the county.
Officer Jerroll was under the inn

treaty would preclude any possibility

The President regards ratification

which the house probably will be for

been advised that there will be prac-
ticaily no opposition To Its provisions.
he is anxious To secure immediate
action by the Senate.
The proposed treaty Will be the
most radical peace plan ever present
