thousands upon thousands of Repub-
licans and vote the Republican State
ticket.
1T SHOULD BE A COMMON CAUSE
THE RADIANCE OF WEST vIR-
GINA OF THESE VICIOUS ELE-
MENTs IN OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS
IN WHICH MEN OF EVERY PARTY
WOULD JOIN ENTHUSIASTICALLY
AND DETERMINEDLY.
The very foundations of our states
government have been PARTLY un-
dermined by these Bribers, and should
they succeed in winning this time the
entire upholding structure is bound
to crumble of Decay and Corruption.
There is no chance of this coming
to pass if Democrats opposing this
sort of thing will join with the Re-
publicans in voting against 1t.
To do anything other than that is
to take CHANCE on retaining these
Arrogant and Corrupt Bosses and
their Corporation Allies in power.

A Democratic candidate for the
legislature in Mineral county de-
clares that "the people Of West vir-
gina are not at all interested in who
succeeds Watson in the United

be recommended to Congress by the
House committee on rules as a result
of the preliminary inquiry, which

That a broad investigation would be

that a resolution of the rules commit

the House, within a few days.
An investigation of the company
was considered by Democrats of the
House, long before the Lawrence out

The rules committee has been pro-
ceeding under two resolutions of in
veStigation. The first was introduced
by Rep Wilson of Pennsylvania and
called for an investigation of strike
conditions, and alleged brutalities
which attended the effort to remove
children from the city; the other by
Representative Berger the Socialist
member from Wisconsin, directed q
special inquiry into strike conditions.
The hearings closed, today, after
representatives of the American Wool

Rumors Of RIpening Of "MeIou".-
Indiana Stock Increase.

New York, March 7.--Shares of the
Old Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
reached a record breaking price on
the curb today, selling at 800 each,
rise of 35 to 40 points over the pre-
vious day and an advance of almost
$206 from the price it was quoted at
when the United States supreme court
ordered the company's dissolution.
Trading, today. was quite active,
comprising. it was said, over $50 shares.
and there was considerable curiosity
as 10 the source of the demand. Brok-
ers known to be in close touch with
the company, We're open buyers, but
they could not or would not threw any
light en- the reasons which caused
this security to scar TO new heights
Ever since the parent company dis
intergrated into some 80 odd subsid
iaries there have been rumors of the
ripening of melon" by the old New
Jersey company. credence attached to
these rumors by reason of the fact that
several of the constituent concerns
have already made handsome extra"
disbursements. No news touching upon
the matter is obtainahle at the COM
panys office, where the utmost reserve
prevails.
From 1901 to 1911. inclusive, the old
Standard Oil Co paid dividends rang
ing from. IS to As per cent. the highest
rate having been paid in the first year
mentioned and the lowest in 1904 Divi-
dends 20 be paid, this year, are an un-
known quantity. aside from the 50 de-
rived from subsidiaries, which was
declared in January
Today's price of the stock is much
more than double that of the lowest
reached in the panic year-1907-when
it sold down ii 800 on unloading by
frightened holders. On the assump-
tion that the Rockefellers own con-
siderably more than majority of the
stock of the company. which consists
of 400, 900 shares the fortunes of that
family may be said to have increased
by over 100000.

New York, March Pleas of gull
ty by George Graham Rice and Ber-
nard Scheftels, of the brokerage firm
of b. l.. Scheftels & Co, brought to
a dramatic close here, today, what is
believed to be the longest trial on
record in United States court. With
their associates, Charles +. Beser,
Charles b. Stone and Ralph f. Water
man. they have been on trial for near
ly five months for alleged conspiracy
and the misuse of the mails to pro-
mote and sell mining stocks.
Rice was sentenced to one year in
>ail, and his sentence was to begin. Dec.
% last, when he was put in the Tombs
after one of the jurors had been APP
preached. With time off for good be-
havior. Rice will really spend about
six months and a half in jail. Schef-
tells got off with a suspended sentence
and the other three defendants went
free. the indictments being quashed.
1t was because his financial re-
sources and those of his friends had
been exhausted by the length of the
trial, Rice said, today, that induced
him to enter his plea, and it was in
timated that the heavy expenses en-
tailed by the government also played
a part in bringing out today's sudden
climax. for without Rices plea the
case, it is said, might have dragged
on five months more
The trial, which began, on Oct. 90
1911, was remarkable in many ways
Scores of witnesses from all parts OF
the country were held here for months
and the Jurors. but day or two ago
made formal protest to Judge Ray
that their long absence from bushes!
was running them. Nearly 1900 exhib
it's were introduced, every one bitterl,
contested before it was admitted t
evidence. Illness of jurors. the at
tempted bribery of a juror, and ad
tournaments at the request of the ju
rors. brought further delay. The wit
nesses from distance protested a
