Washington Sept. 29Without debate
ana with few senators in the chamber
the senate adopted the two resolutions
directed against the Standard Oil Com
pany and its affiliates.
The first. which was introduced by
Mr.. Chiffon. a democrat from West
Virginia. directs the Interstate COM
merce commission to investigate condi-
tions under which the Standard Oil
concerns. controlling most OF the pipe
lines. have heavily curtailed their pur-
cllases Of crude oil from independent
operators
5 The second. sponsored by Mr.. Gore.
a democrat. from Oklahoma. directs
the new federal trade commission to
examine the Standard Oil and it's sub
sidiaries as it's first task. see how far
competitive conditions have been re-
established and find out whether the
supreme courts decree dlssolving the
old Standard Oil trust has been obeyed.
The department of justice is under
stood to have had certain aspects OF the
Standard Oil activities under observa-
tion long time.
After Mr.. Chiffon introduced his res
olution a letter reached senators from
a Standard Oil official explaining that
the company had been compelled to
dependent concerns because the war
had DESTROYED the European market
and the production of refined oil had to
be reduced proportionately.
Mr.. Chilton,s complaint is that the
independents. having no extensive pine
line system. rely on their market who'll
y on the Standard Oil. The reduction
of the Standards purchases of them to
one-fourth Of their normal supply will
wipe out the profits of the independ-
ents to such an extent he fears, that

Wilson's Denunciation of SpecuIator
Forced Cuts kowevsd


Washing ton, Sept. 29.-The federal
investigation of the sudden rise of
food prices following the breaking out
Of the war in Europe has about fizzled
out.
Practically the net result of the in
quiry by the departments of justice and
commerce Is the finding that the prices
of meats. flour. sugar, and other foods
did rise suddenly and generally thru
out the country. The prices of some
articles have diminished in the last few
weeks and the administration Is dis
posed to believe that the investigation
initiated by the president. who severe
ly denounced food spectators, has ac-
complished this II no other result.
The generally negative result of the
Investigation SO far has caused the re-
publicans to charge that the admins
tration in making the move was ac-
tuated by the desire to derive political
capital from the situation.
This charge is wholly unfair 20

One Airman Wounded.
The welcome absence of wind gave
our airmen chance uf which they
took full advantage by gathering much
information. Unfortunately one of our
aviators. who had been particularly
active in annoying the enemy by
dropping bombs. was wounded in a
duel in the air, being alone on a single

'From the places mentioned as being
the chief targets of the enemy's heavy
howitzers. it will be seen that the Ger
mans are now inclined to concentrate
their fire Systematically on definite
areas in which their aviators think they
have located our guns or on villages
where 1t is imagined our troops may be
billeted. The result will be to give
work to local builders.
Il no growing resemblance of this
battle to siege warfare already has been
pointed out. The fact that the later
actions of the Russo Japanese war as
sumed similar character was thought
by many to be due to exceptional causes
such as the narrowness of the theater
Of operations between the Chinese
frontier on the west and the noun
famous country of northern Korea on
the east; the lack of roads which linn
ited the extent OF ground over which it
was possible for the rival armies to
maneuver, and the fact that the forces
were tied to one line of railroad. Such
factors are not exerting any influence
on the present battle. Nevertheless a
similar situation has been produced"

by crew and passengers and not held
by it's brake then shot Gown the in
cline of the bridge and crashed into an
other trolley car
Eight more We're taken to hospitals,
the result Of this accident. The traffic
congestion that followed the collision in
the subway was the worst in the his
tory of the city. At several places more
than 5000 persons crowded on the
platforms and those nearest the rails
were forced entirely off and in some
cases walked along the track between
stations in perilous proximity to the
deadly third-rail. Surface cars were
crowded till passengers sat in the win
dows Milk wagons, trucks and deliv-
cry carts Of all descriptions were hired
by the thousands waiting to get down
town and steady stream Of these ve-
hicles, laden to overnowing with men
and women, rolled south thru the chief
thorofares during the early forenoon.
Adding to the difficulties'o Of the stu
alton was the stubborn fire that blazed
up when the trains crashed. For ten
blocks along Lenox avenue every man
hole belched pillows OF black smoke.
Firemen tried to fight the blaze by
placing their hose thru the thirty Inch
openings but made little headway. The
underground fire ragged fiercely for
more than two hours.
