THE Standard Oil Company Qndi-
I ana renders a vital service by
giving multi plicationS of value to
that portion of the crude oil left,
after gasoline, kerosene and lubri-
eating oils have been extracted,
through the production of innumer-
able by-products, each supplying a
definite need.
Thus have been developed products
such as parowax, which serve such
useful purposes as a protective coat
ing for cheese, meats and sausages;
for match ends; for water PROBING
milk bottle caps, ice cream pals and
paper drinking cups; and for sealing
preserved vegetables, fruits and
Jellies against bacteria, ferments
and mold.
These are but a few of the uses of
one of the more than 1000 products
manufactured by the Standard Oil
Company (ndiana), covering need
full commodities from asphalt to
candles
So vast a program could not be
carried out except by highly spe-
cialized organization, developed to
maintain numerous contracts with
the world of production on one
hand, and with the consuming pub
hc on the other.
It was the need for such special
lied organization which led to the
great development of the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana). No single
function of this great organization
has come into being without def
mite call to service.
Today the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) is big only because the
need of it's service is great because
the ways in which it is able to
serve are continually multiplying as
the complexities of modern industrial
life increase.

Jury at II clock
This Fo- oon
SUNDAY B s
PLAYF : ACCUSED
Court RUE, Out Conten-
tion That the Game
Was for Charity

The trial of the players arrested
Sunday, charged with violating the
law in regard to Sunday baseball was
held this morning in Barre city court,
beginning at 9 o'clock. The room was
filed with spectators. Both sides stat
ed their case, the prosecution calling in
three witnesses. The case was given
over to the jury shortly after IL
o'clock, and in the early afternoon
they were still out.
The defense asserted that their case
was based on the claim that the play
ing Sunday was An act of charity, in
view of the fact that 10 per cent of the
gate receipts were to go to the Wash
ington county tuberculosis hospital.
This, however, was ruled out. Fur
thermore, they contended that the
game had not been completed, and con-
sequently they could not be charged
with having played game of ball that
day.
The prosecuting attorney, Earle R.
Davis, called three witnesses, Officer
Sloane, Deputy H. c, Lawson of Mont
pelier and J. Fl. Gowdey, all OF whom
testified to the fact that the men under
discussion had taken part in ball
game on Sunday. After the pleas had
been ents=cd The case was given to tho
jury.
The jurors who were summoned yes
terday for the trial this morning were;
George Rising, Frank o. Lee, John V.
Rowen, NJ. F. Cutler, Ernest J Batch
elder, James II. Marion, Allan W.
Reid. John c. Griggs, j. ]. Dashner,
Horace Richardson, George Hoyt and
Douglas NJ. Barclay.
At noon the jury reported that they
had disagreed and that they stood
$3.50 on the matter. The judge sent
them back for further deliberation, and
the jurymen demanded dinner, which
demand was complied with and they
were taken TO Hotel Barre for salts
faction of the inner man.

FEARS BANKS
CAPITAL GONE
Bank Commissioner Allen
Made Statement This
Afternoon
BANK WAS CLOSED
BY THAT OFFICIAL
Charles PonZi Was a Direc-
tor in Institution Till
Yesterday

Boston, Aug. l2.-Bank Commission
er Allen announced this afternoon that
the capital of the Hanover Trust Co,
probably had been completely wiped
out. The bank was closed by the COM
missioner. Charles Ponzi had been a
director up to yesterday.
The bank commissioner issued this
statement:
81 wish to correct statement which
appeared in at least one morning pa
per to the effect that the capital Of the
Hanover Trust Co. is not impaired
That statement is not correct. There
is no doubt, whatsoever, that the capi-
tai is very badly impaired and it is
probably wiped out completely.
ut should be remembered, however,
that the stockholders have liability Of
100 per cent assessment, provided
such assessment is necessary to enable
the bank to pay 100 cents on the dol
lar to all depositors, Before the deposit
tors can suffer loss, therefore, the cap.
ital stock of 100000, the surplus Of
100000 and the stockholders liabili.
ty of 100000 provided the stoekhold-
ers can pay, must first be used to take
care of losses"
To his formal statement Bank Com.
missioner Allen added that il would be
necessary to complete the investiga-
tion of the banks affairs before an an.
nouncement could be made of its exact
condition. This, he said, in reply to an
inquiry as to whether he thought the
100000 assets suggested would be suf-
ficient to cover all claims.

CANCEL STREET CAR SERVICE
Many German Towns Have Been De-
prived of Their Cars.

Berlin, Aug. flowing to the enor-
nous increase in the cost of opera
ton, street car service in many of the
smaller German cities has been dis
continued. Jena, Wuerzburg, Freiberg
and Heilbronn are among the towns
trying now to get along without trans.
Attempts we're made to keep the lines
going by radical increase in fares, but
the public, unable to pay the price,
took to walking
Berlin and other large cities, where
street car traffic has fallen off alarm
ingly because of increased fares, are
facing the problem of recognizing the
service, retaining only those lines which
are absolutely necessary for the ac'
commodation of persons having to
travel long distances. Wagons and
carts brought /out TO give a lift to
pedestrians during recent strikes Of
street car employees have indicated
which routes through Berlin are vital
for transportation.

hearing, Attorney General Archibald

on in States Attorney Tracy's Office in

Mr. Archibald said there were no
new Developments in the case. When
asked if another arrest would be made

lence.

has been on the case. When it de-
veloped that Mudgett had been friend
ly with the dead girl the case was re-
ported to the state prosecutor.
Mudgett was questioned at consider
able length, denying intimacies with
the girl, but is said to have admitted
afterward that he knew of her condi-
tion. When Attorney General Archi-
bald and the Boston detective arrived
Mudgett was further questioned and,
because of the alleged contradictory
statements made by him he was or
dered held in custody, although no
charge was at first placed against him.
Tuesday Attorney General Archibald
directed the warrant charging. him
with murder.
Half dozen witnesses are said to
have been heard yesterday and about
dozen Tuesday AL information re-
garding the proceedings is withheld.
The autopsy is said to have revealed
that the girl died by violence which
was not possible of self lndiction.

Allen replied, according to the treasur

his duty to inform me if any bank on
the list of state depositaries was not

Governor Coolidge expressed great
surprise when informed that Treasurer
Burrell had refused to disclose the
amount of the state deposit in the Han
over Trust company. "The treasurer
may have a good reason for withhold
