Oil Inspection Law Attacked.

Indianapolis. An attack against
the oil inspection law of Indiana
begun in federal court here by
several oil companies, may be car
rled into the state legislature. Gov
ernor-elect Goodrich is expected TO ask
repeal of the law. The oil companies,
in their joint suit, seek federal court
injunction to prevent further enforce
ment of the law. The complaint al
leges that the question of safety. one
of the reasons for the passage of the
law, does not exist, that it has become
solely revenue measure, and that the
national government alone has power
TO impose taxes upon minerals and
products manufactured from minerals.

Attacks Aimed at BraiIa.
One main object of the attack is sup

central forces are divided into three
armies, namely, that in the Moldavian

composed of Germans, Turks and Bull

Germans Score Big Advance.
The general outcome of the opera
tons during the last week has been an
advance of several miles by Gerok and
Falkenhayn, with the capture of many
prisoners. The Danube army has been
almost stationary, the invaders being
very little nearer Braila than they
were ten days ago. The pressure, how
