ate today unanimously directed At.
torney General Gregory to send a
full report Of his Investigations Of the
Standard Oil company and other oil
interests, which are charged with
boosting prices and fixing discrimina-

charged the dissolution suit was IAN
absurd failure and demanded con-
gress make the Sherman law effect

Under present conditions, the job
ibers declared the former Standard Oil
stockholders are enabled to combine
so as to keep all the advantages OF
their monopoly and at the same time
are not subject to such scrutiny and
regulations as they were before the
decree.
AS examples Of discrimination, the
jobbers claimed gasoline was selling
in New York at &c cents gallon to
the consumer, at 1872 cents in Chica-
20. at "a cents in Pittsburgh and at
several different points in Ohio at two
cents higher than in Indiana towns

ferences in freight charges are less
than one cent gallon among all the
places named, the jobbers asserted.

CATION to the republican national con-
vention by a handsome majority.
Hughes carries a few precincts and
ran well ahead of Roosevelt. Wilson

out opposition.

over $4,000 and the democratic Co.
600. It may be week before ali the

over Edward G. Dunn of Mason City.
Marsh won by a two to one vote.
John T. Adams of Dubuque, was
reelected republican national com
mitteeman over John Olson of For
rest City by about the same ma
jority.

Burkett OF Nebraska 1871, and H. G.
Webster of Chicago, 1,311.
Elliott W. Major of Missouri, had
no onposition for the democratic vice
