VIOLATION OF CLAYTON ACT
Charges Brought Against Standard OIL
Company of Indiana By Federal
Trade Commission.

Washington, April 30.-The federal
trade commission issued an affidavit
involving the Standard Oil Co. of
Indiana today charging violation Of
the trade commission act. 1t not only
charges unfair business practices but
violation of the Clayton antitrust law
as we'll.
AS infringement of the Clayton act,
the affidavit asserts, the company is
discriminating in price between diff
ferent purchasers of petroleum pro-
ducts and the effect of this discrimina-
ton made substantially less COMPETE
ton or tended to create monopoly. 1t is
also charged the Standard Oil Co OF
Indiana fixes different prices in diff
ering sections, selling it's products at
a loss in highly competitive areas.
Various methods by which the COM
pany is alleged to have taken unfair
advantage of competitors and of the
trade generally arc described at length

CITY HAS 800 MEN
READY FOR SERVICE
approximately 400 in Each Draft
District Arc Eligible As Glass
I Registrars.

Taken as a whole, Connecticut has
a smaller percentage of Glass ] men
in the draft than any other state, &C
cording to advices received by Major
John Buckley from the provost mar
shall general, but New Britain still
has large contingent of Glass l
men who have not yet been called for
active service.
Chairman Albert r. Corbin Of the
first exemption board stated that, in
addition to the men already sent to
camp, there are approximately 400
men in Glass I who have not been
called for service but who arc eligi-
BILE. At the second exemption board
it was explained that there are also
approximately 400 Glass I men eligi-
BILE for the draft who have not yet
been called upon to go to camp and
of this number SAT are classed as
physically fit and are in IA. Thus, it
would appear that New Britain has
about 500 men qualified for army
service who have not yet been called
to the colors and who will be called
before the registrants in Glass II are
affected.
The low percentage of Glass I men
in Connecticut is ascribed Ut some
officials to the large alien popula
ton which registered on June and
also to the large number of men EN-
ployed in essential occupations and
thus given deferred classification
Major Buckley has been instructed py
the war department to Immediately
ascertain the number Of men in class
T in this state who are actually ready
for general service. The actual en-
listments, not including the draft
which were recorded in Connecticut
from July /, 1917, to March 81, 191 s,
were $751; It is understood hows
ever. that this state will get credit
for these enlistnlents and the num-
Der deducted from the next draf
quota.

Mass Meeting Endorses Larger Cham
Der of Commerce Organization.

A mass meeting of citizens was held
at the high school auditorium Tuesday
evening to listen to the report of
special committee selected some months
ago to formulate plan for compre
hensive organization of the business
and professional interests of Edgerton.
The meeting was we'll attended and the
report which the committee had pre-
pared showed they had devoted much
time in preparing a satisfactory plan
for larger organization than the Ed
gerton Credit Association which had
aimed to accomplish something in this
line for the past two years. In fact
the Credit Association had already
changed it's name to the Edgertom
Chamber of Commerce, revamped it's
bylaws and prepared to affiliate with a
larger organization embracing all inter-
ests of the city.
In preparing the report, Prof. Holt
as chairman of the committee, explain
ed the provisions of the bylaws form,
ulated and after brief discussion they
were unanimously adopted. The spec
ial committee was also retained to Sc
cure membership to the new Edgerton
Chamber of Commerce, the complete
organization of which will be effected
at the annual election to be held in
January. The way seems cleared now
for the getting together of all the in
terests of our city with united pur-
pose of making this commercial asso-
citation live up to it's motto, "For
Larger and Better Edgerton."

Pastor Randolph Dies Suddenly.

The sudden death Thursday morning
of DR.. L. C. Randolph, pastor of the
Milton Seventh-day Baptist church, and
prominent lecturer, came as shock to
that community.
He was present at his last Sabbath
morning service, but was not feeling
we'll, and Pastor F. H. Burdick of the
Congregational church preached for
him.
Sunday, however, he felt better and
kept two preaching appointments in
Whitewater where he has been supply
ing one of the churches for some time.
He returned that evening quite tired
but cheerful, but about a. m. he took
suddenly ill. He had the prompt at
tention of the best medical skill, but
sank rapidly and passed away between
9 and 10 o'clock, victim of the pre-
vailing epidemic, with a complication
of pneumococic- meningitis.
The funeral services were held at the
church Sabbath afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
Before his illness Pastor Randolph had
planned for a memorial service for his
sons at this time, and this service
was united with that of his own
funeral service.
The news of the death of his two
sons, Paul and Kenneth, coming to him
the same day and other extra burdens
incident to the war, which have been
heaped upon public men especially, un-
dermined the strong resistance to dis
ease, with which DIR. Randolph has
been blessed.

Gov. Hoard was one of Wisconsin's
leaders, AS governor of the state his
vision was broad. He dared to stand
up for 1.-THE Little Red Schoolhouse;;"
he dared to advocate Americanism
based on the teaching of the English
language in the public schools. 1t led
to his defeat, bnt he was great in de-
feat. AS dairyman and as writer,
he rendered notable service. BY close
friends, gathering from time to time at
his fireside, he was loved for his humor
and his philosophy. He was fond of
good stories and told, them charmingly.
Up to within few days of his death,
Gov. Hoard kept in close touch with
current events. ''You can't bluff
Americans was one of his favorite
comments when he discussed the war.
He never doubted the defeat of Ger
many after America took up the fight.
A commission appointed by Gov. E.
L. Philip to select Wiscons,in's most
famous citizen to be honored at the
Panama-Pacific exposition unanimously
named Gov. Hoard, an honor he richly
deserved.
He was elected governor in 1888 and
was renominated, but went down to
defeat in The Little Red Schoolhouse"
campaign. After retiring from public
life he devoted most of his energies to
the upbuilding of his two papers. the
Jefferson County Union and Hoard's
Dairyman, and to the development of
his great dairy farm. The presidency
OF the Wisconsin commission Of the ST.
Louis fair and the presidency of the
board of regents at the University Of
Wisconsin were the only positions of
public nature he held after his retire
ment as governor.
Funeral services were held Monday
at 2 o'clock at the Congregational
church in charge of the Rev. D. Q.
Grabill and the Fort Atkinson Masons,
Blue Lodge. Interment was made in
the Evergreen cemetery.
Many of Wisconsin's prominent citi-
zens came here to pay their respects to
one who rendered distinguished service
to his state and country.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
 TO ADJOURN UNTIL NOV.

Washington, Nov 1.-The senate fi- nance committee today decided to con tinue work on the war revenue bill to- morrow and then adjourn until Nov ember with a view to nnaity re- porting the re-drafted measure to the senate about November r.
 The committee today adopted an amendment providing that luXuries and semi -luXuies exported to other coun- tries shall not be subject to the new excise taxes Of from five to twenty per cent. This exemption was espec- tally requested by automobile manu- lecturers.
 Merchandise listed in the excise tax section for which manufacturing con- tracts were entered into before Sept 8, the date of the introduction of the honse bill will not be subject, the senate committee decided, to the tax provision under another amendment provided. Manufacturers requested this exemption because many of theiI contracts, including those with the government, were made without con temptation of the new taxes.
 Provision was also made by the committee for relief of holders of dis tiled spirits who may be unable tc remove from bonded warehouses the stocks they own before &he proposed war time prohibition law goes into ef- feet next July 1. The committee de- cided to release distilled spirits re- maining in warehouses on that date from the payment of the usual bond required and let the mrenain in the warehouse upon payment of the nomi- nal fee.
