Findlay, O., Oct. 12. Evidence was brought out by the state in the trial of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio for conspiracy against trade showing

the ownership of the Manhattan Oil Company of Ohio to be in the General Industrial Development company, limit 1, of London, England. Also that the Manhattan, which ouys and pipes crude oil, does not compete with the Standard, but does compete with independent companies. These facts were brought out in the testimony of F. T. Cuthbert, president of the Manhattan. A similar criminal suit to that on trial is pending against his company, and he testified under the order of the court, which renders him immune from future criminal prosecution. He Vrodnces the Books. The witness had been summoned and ordered to bring the books of his company showing the record of stockholders' meetings. The books were produced. The record of the last annual meeting showed that Cuthbert had been elected president by voting under power of attorney 1.493 shares of stock owned by the English holding company; that this comprised the en-

HEAEST PLAYS A UNION CASD Contrasts His Own Course and That of a Hughes Supporter as to Organized Labor. Corning, X. Y., Oct. 12. After a journey of nearly ten hours across the

boundaries of three states Hearst and his campaign party arrived in Corning and began in earnest his fourth upstate trip, which is scheduled to last ten days. In the course of his remarks Hearst referred to John B. McDonald's published announcement that he will support Hughes in spite of having been a life-long Democrat. "Another guarantee of Mr. Hughes' sincerity," said Hearst, "is John B. McDonald. He is the man who built the New York subway at great profit, and had one succession of strikes and labor difficulties from the time he began until it ended. "Mr. McDonald declares for Mr. Hughes and flourishes the cheek in support of Mr. Hughes and says he is against me because I am an enemy of union labor." Hearst cited his own conduct of the San Francisco Examiner, every department of which he said, was unionized and when, five years ago. an effort was made to destroy unionism in San Francisco, his

paper tooK the side ot the unions at considerable sacraice, for every advertiser left the paper as a protest against the pap r's action."

It had disposed of all but its pipe line to the Ohio Oil company, but he did not know who was now operating the refinery at Galatea. The Manhattan company now does exclusively a pipe line business. In doing so it buys the oil of the producer, transports it to storage stations and sells it to S. P.

"The National Penning company, of Findlay, and the Paragon Oil company, of Toledo." "Do you pay 5 cents a barrel more

Too Heroic a Test.

A Detroit man fasted forty-nine days in an effort to Improve his health. When the time was up not all of the improvements desired ' might be noticed, but the widow looked very attractive; the neighbors all remarked how well black became her. Just because it is a good thing to miss a meal occasionally when a man has dyspepsia or when he hasn't got the price, some people Jump at the conclusion that fasting will cure corns, warts and a few of the other stubborn diseases which the patent medicines find such easy money. While the treatment may have a beneficial effect on that most annoying ailment known as financial embarrassment, It is very doubtful If It will cure all other trouble, even though persisted in for months at a time.
