Telegraph News bv Direct Yire from All Over Indiana Irdinnnpolis. Oct. 18. The ense of , the independent oil refiners ajrainst the Indiana railrond composing the Central Freight association, and incidontal!j the Standard Oil company, will . ccme to trial before the railroad commission Nov. 20. This date was set by the commission yesterday, following a conference that the commission had with C. I. Chamberlain, secretary of the National Petroleum association, nnd Joseph Collier, an attorney of this city. Not Satisfied with Half a Iioaf. It had been suggested that this case "would never come to trial because the railroads, after the original complaint had been filed, same time ago, changed petroleum and Its products from the fourth to the hfth classification, where It was prior to 1S00. Chamberlain eald, however, that the association he represented would make the fight for a still lower classification on oil and attempt to get a reduction from the fifth to the sixth, which would bring about a corresponding lowering in rates. f Story of the Matter. The original petition, filed by the Rational Kenning company and the

Tiona Refining company, txvth of this

city, and the Evansville Oil company, of Evansville, alleged that previous to 1S09 the railroads composing the Cen

tral Freight association placed petrole

um In the fifth class. In that year the classification was changed to fourth,

according to the complaint, and then special commodity rates were made

from Whiting and other points in In

diana, which operated very much in

favor of the Standard. Lowered the Petroleum Class.

Some time after this petition - hnd been filed, the railroads notified the

commission that they had exchanged;

petroleum back to the fifth, Stj HtsJfica-

tlon, and the case pending before the

commission hung fire until the' inde

pendent oil men had decidod' whether

or not this was sufficient of a -conees

slon to warrant theirwlthdrawing their

case from the commission. Still They We-rn't Satisfied.

Chamberlain appeared before the

commission and declared that the inde

pendent men Avcre not satisfied with

the fifth-class rate, and ssk that the

commission set n date for the hearing

In the case. The date set for the last of the answers was Nov. ir, and the commission set Nov. -0, five.' days

CURRENCY REFORM IN FRONT

Findlay, O.. Oct. IS. After a trial of

seven days the fate of the Standard

Oil Company of Ohio, charged Avith

conspiracy against trade, was placed

in the hands; of the jury at 8:30 p. rn. The day's proceedings were the most strenuous of the trial. The heavy speeches on both sides were made.

Virgil P. Kline concluded for the de

fense and Attorney General Ellis for

the prosecution. The defense submit

ted fourteen points of law for incorporation in the charge of the court to the jury, all but two of which were rejected. Judge Raker then read his elaborate charge and the jury, retired! to deliberate.

Counsel Has a Hot Time. The tension between counsel on either side, Avhich bad been on the' in

crease as the case progressed, reached

the breaking point, and hot words of criticism passed, the croAvded court room became demonstrative for the first time, and the court sternly rebuked all concerned. The collision re

sulted from the receipt of a telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan Oil company had just sold out to the Standard for $2,000,000. This was declared by the defense a trick to influence the jury. The

prosecution retorted that the matter would have never reached the jury had

not Kline, who made the charge, men tioned the matter in open court. Archbold Says Underwood Lies.

As soon as Attorney Elliott, for the

Standard, heard of the telegram he

wired J. D. Archbold, New York, asking him to deny at once, if not true.

The response was that there was "not

a particle of truth in the report." The telegram to the attorney general was signed by one Underwood, of Avhom Archbald said he had no knowledge,

and in a later telegram characterized as belonging "to the very large class

of anonymous volunteer liars." The incident closed by a severe admonition

from the court. The jury was instructed not to, regard the matter and the

spectators were told that they must

maintain silence or be ordered from

the room.

That Is the Dominant Issue Before the the Bankers in Council at St. Lion is.J St. Louis, Oct. IS. The first day's session of the thirty-second annual convention of the American Bankers association ATas devoted almost entirely to the hearing of routine reports. There was one time during the day when

the deliberations of the convention threatened to become exceptionally animated, and that was touching on the question of currency reform. The subject wag not entered into. hoAvever,

eing laid over for discussion when

the federal legislative committee lays

before the convention an elastic currency plan It has prepared.

Currency reform is apparently the

keynote and main idea of the convention, and so many plans have been presented and suggested for consideration that confusion has resulted.

hours for him to appear at the Alhaiubra theater. Bryan was scheduled to speak at noon, but was detained on account of a misunderstanding of the arrangements. Bryan was given an enthusiastic reception. He spoke for

the state and congressional tickets and

dwelt at length on national questions,

repeating many of his views as ex

pressed In other speeches.

Money Magnates All Crooked? Bryan concluded his speech as fol

lows: "There is scarcely a great money magnate in this country who has

not been found crooked in his business relations. It is all because when you

alloAv a man to gather money by immoral means his nature becomes per

verted, and he cannot see things in

their right proportion. You allow pred

atory wealth not only to plunder the

people, but you allow It to demoralize

those who are its beneficiaries. They

have debauched politics, they have cor

rupted business. Will you help us now to apply this remedy? You have a

chance in the election of our Demo

cratic friends to congress and von have

a chance in the election of our state

ticket, from Mr. Aylward down."

with him to this city. Speaking here to 5,000 persons Bryan urged the elec

tion of the Democratic candidates in

Wisconsin and paid a tribute to the Republican senator, LaFolIette, saying: "In the fight of the future for

, reform measures I want the respect of

your senator, LaFolIette. He stands for popular rights, and for this reason

he is called a Democrat by his Re

publican colleagues in the senate. If

President Roosevelt had the moral

courage of Senator LaFolIette he would

not have allowed a group of rallroadi senators to dictate the railroad rate

bill." Xebraskan Misses Connections.
