CHICAGO, November 21.-More than
ever Charles Loso hates policemen.
Loso had fiat tire yesterday. Un-
fortunately, it happened at busy in
tersection. He stopped, lacked up the
wheel and, needless of the traffic con-
fusion, went to work
Policeman William SackWeh did not
know Loso hated cops, and probably
didn't care, anyway. He approached
Loso and told him to get his apple cart,
or words to that effect, out of the way.
81 do not like policemen" said Loso,
and he cracked Sackweh with the jack
handle.
Later Judge Max Luster fined Loso
500 and sent him to Jail for 80 days.
In Jail, the court told Loso, one could
hate policemen all one wanted to, but
couldn't do anything about it.

one day when I was suffering, and
told me to try taking Black
Draught, which I did.
II took a package home that
night, and took a few doses. It
relieved me. From that time on,

rs I felt like I was going to have one
Of those headacheS-and they
wouldn't come on.
Every few weeks, 7 take three
or four doses of Black-Draught, and

IN any fight which may develop.
He arrived in Chicago Monday with
$4,000 proxies in metal cases under
armed guard.
Fifty nine per cent of the more
than 100000 shares Of Standard
Oil stock has been lined up against
Col. Stewart, Mr.. Aldrich said. The
Rockefeller group has only 10000 Of
the $1,000 stockholders on his side.
The big blocks of stock, however, are
held by the fasteners. Col. Stewart
had on his side the proxies of 1857
per cent Of the 1000 employe-stock-
holders. Unless the uncontested
proxies Of one side greatly outnum-
bered those Of the other. a long te-

seen.
Although MFR. Aldrich denied 9TH
er Standard Oil companies were be-
hind Rockefeller in his fight. and
attorneys for Col. Stewart denied
any legal action was contemplated.
the rumOr persisted that the contest
might eventually find its way into
the courts. The grounds would be
that Rockefeller, in opposing the
company head, was violating the
antitrust act.
A suspicion that the Standard Oil
companies of New York, New Jersey,
Kentucky and Louisiana, rather
than the younger Rockefeller, were
conducting the fight, was expressed
in the senate at Washington last
week and again yesterday. Col.
Stewart has been an individuaIist
in his development of the Standard
