OCTOBER 17, 1906. TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and work ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each . riber we will send the Republican national Cam paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P. O. Box 2063, New York, A SENSIBLE MOVE. Council did a good thing for the City of Richmond Monday night when it ordered all wires on Main street to be put underground before one year elapses. ; The unsightly net work of wires overhanging our main thoroughfare has long been a source of great danger. Were Richmond to be visited by a great wind storm such as has visited other cities recently, Main street would be strewn from one end to the other with a mass of fallen wires highly charged wih deadly electricity, and only a miracle could prevent some loss of life. It will however, be rather interesting to see how the Bell telephone people receive the new ordinance in view of the extensive improvements they have been putting in in the way of overhead wires.

CASE AT RIM HEARING AH END

Arguments Made to Jury Sitting in Prosecution of Standard Oi! Co. EACH SIDE RESTS CASE. STATE INSPECTOR' FINLEY AND A DEPUTY ARE CALLED TO j THE WITNESS STAND FIVE MINUTE SPEECHES. Flndlay, O., Oct. 16. W. It. 7, state inspector of oil, was the first witness in the trial of the Standard Oil eompany of Ohio, for alleged conspiracy against trade. Attorney General Ellis of Ohio was again present at the trial. Mr. Finley was questioned by Mr. Harrlsoa of the attorney general's office. Mr. Finley described the location and number of his deputies and method of inspection. The fees for Inspection at Cleveland, he said, were paid by the Standard Oil company of Ohio. At Lima, the Solar Refining company has a refinery. Ninety-nine per cent of the fees for Inspection at Lima are also paid by the Standard Oil company, the Solar paying a very en:all, or 1 per cent of the fees at Lima. Mr. Finley said one-half the oil refined in Ohio was refined at Lima, that this oil is shipped in the cars of the Union Tank Line company. These questions and answers were all put in over the protests of the de fense. The Standard of Ohio, Mr. Finley said, had from 180 to 200 tank stations for the distribution and sale of refined oil, while the Solar had no such sta tions. Mr. Finley was not cross-ex amined. f Mr. Shalter, deputy local oil inspec tor at Findlay, who testified last week, was recalled. He said the Standard was selling oil at retail in Hancock county and no other company sold oil here except the National Refining company. With this evidence the state rested its case. Mr. Kline, for the defense, then put In the first evidence for the defense. He first filed as evidence a certified copy of the journal entry, the judgment of the court in the case of the state of Ohio against the Standard Oil company, known as the contempt proceedings. Attorney General Ellis made objec tion to this evidence, saying the state In this case had put In the responses of Mr. Rockefeller to the Interroga tories in that case which represented the Standard's case. The state had also filed the issues and replfes. Mr. Kline held that to make that record complete It was necessary to put in the conclusion of the court, which he said dismissed the case at the expense of the state. "I think," said Mr. Kline, it comes with mighty poor grace for an officer of this state to object to the ntroductlon of the journal tentry of the supreme court of the state." Mr. Ellis replied by saying that this entry had nothing to do with this case. The court admitted the evidence. Mr. Kline read this record, and then announced "Defendant rests." In a 5-minute recess it was arrang ed that five speeches would be made to the jury, three by the state's at torneys and two by the defense. Pros ecutor David opened for the State and arguments were made by the attorney general and Mr. Phelps for the prosecution. Messrs. Kline and Troup pre sented the defense to the jury. In his argument Mr. David said' it was not disputed by any one that the Standard Oil trust actually existed in 18S2. The state now contends that this same trust, only under another name, still exists. He mentioned the various local companies now doing business in the state, saying they were members of the original trust. "The people in this case," said Mr. David, "claim that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey now owns the stock of these subsidiary companies. each one dependent upon the other and right now doing business among us. We have shown that these same gentlemen, John D. Rockefeller, Wil liam Rockefeller, Flagler, Archbold, Rogers, are today the heads of these companies. These men were of the nine original trustees in the trust." TO BEGIN NEXT MONDAY. Annuar Gathering of Olive Brancn Synod Will Attract Many Here.

110 INVESTIGATION SAYS HIGH COURT

Drake Committee at Cincinnati Knocked Out by Supreme Court Ruling. IS HELD TO BE ILLEGAL DECISION PUTS AN END TO THE PROBING OF CINCINNATI'S GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMISSION'S WORK. Columous, u., Oct. id. ine uisrr investigating committee created bj' the Ohio Democratic senate at its session last winter, to inquire into the government of Hamilton county and the city of Cincinnati, is no more. The Ohio supreme court in a decision holds that -the committee is without any power whatever. The case in which this decision was given was one brought by the Robertson Realty company of Cincinnati against State Auditor W. D. Guilbert, to compel him to issue his warrant on the state treasury in payment of rent for rooms occupied by the committee in its work in Cincinnati. Judge Smith ct the Hamilton county common pleas rourt had held that the committee was without power and under this decision the state auditor was unwilling to permit state funds to be used by the committee. This test case was agreed upon, but it brought up only the question of whether the committee had the power to expend state money given by the resolution under which it was appointed. If the decision had been in favor oi the committee in this case there would still be the question of whether it had any power to conduct an investigation to compel the production of books, papers and records and the attendance of witnesses. But the supreme court's decision settles the whole matter. The Drake Investigating committee is held to be without power or authority, and will never meet again. This case is to be reported. Attorney General Ellis, representing the state auditor, filed a demurrer to the mandamus petition of the attorneys for the committee and for the realty company, and the court sustains In Its decision this demurrer and dismissed the mandamus petition. Work of Drake Commission. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 16. The Drake commission during its investigations brought out the personal collection by coynty treasurers of interest on public funds deposited in banks. Because of the criticism aroused, half a dozen former treasurers' paid voluntarily into the county treasury a total of $214,000, which they estimated they had thus received. Other matters brought out affected the sale of turnpike roads to the county, in which large commis sions were paid for disposing of the roads. The case which was carried to the supreme court was a dispute over rentals, but it followed favorable ac tion on the refusal of Cashior Davis of the FirBt National bank to disclose what'he considered to be the confiden tial business matters of depositors. His arrest and removal from the city followed at once by his release on a writ of habeas corpus served in a Springfield hotel at 3 o'clock, in the morning, were sensational incidents in the investigation, and the legal fight which followed it. Towboat Wrecked. - Marietta, O., Oct. 16. The towboat Raymond Horner was wrecked here at Lock 18 in the Ohio rtyer by running into a cable stretched across the rivev. Pilot Howard Crawford of Pittsburg was drowned. Captain Dippold " and Pilot Boles were injured, thoughnot seriously. The boat caught fire and those on board were panic stricken for some time. Foreman Keenan pulled a gun on the deckhands and made them fight the flames with extinguishers until the fi'e was quenched. A VERDICT OP ACQUITTAL CASE OF AL0NZ0 FRAME. Jury After Being Out Less Than an Hour Finds That Muth's Bar Tender Was Not Guilty of Selling Liquor on Sunday. .The jury in the case of the State of Indiana against Alonzo Frame for an alleged violation of the liquor laws, brought in a verdict of acquittal last evening at 5:30 o'clock. The prosecut ing witness in the case was William George, who -gave his testimony during the day as did various other witnesses for both State and the defendant. The arguments of the attorneys were brief but spirited. The jury took the case for consideration at 4:40, and in less than an hour had reached a verdict for the defendant. The pacific charge against Frame, who is a bartender at Muthsplace, Main and Fifth streets, was the alleged sale of Intoxicants to William George on Sunday, September 9. The jury deem ed that the testimony submitted was not sufficient to warrant a conviction. To Meet at Wiiiiamsburg. Williamsburg, Ind., OcL 16.
