llS STAIIBARD OIL . U GOJOLOIIDOII? (Will Recent Decision Cause Trust to Take Headquarters from the U.S.?

fCSpecUl Cab! from thn International ( News Service.) . London, Juno 3. la the Standard i"M1 ..ufci. Ito hDH. quarters to London as a result of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Uie United States? You hear this question discussed In city offices and on the London Stock i:xchane every day, and many prominent financiers I are convinced that before the six (months grace granted the Rockefeller octopus has expired we shall see it firmly established here. In the magnificent building at Queen Anne's Gate which Is far more Imposing than most lEngllsh government buildings in that neighborhood, a feverish bustle and activity seems to prophecy of great events to come. The big building Ih i lit night and day, enormous quantl'tles of offico furniture have arrived, loot only of the ornlnary kind, but costly carpets, sumptuous hangings and richly carved desks, tables and chairs of the kind which you only find In the private offices of American magnates. A small army of electricians, many of them Americans, are busily wiring the building, but a silent lot they are and reporters have in vain been trying to find out from them what they are doing Inside the carefully guarded structure. No sentries are pacing the sidewalk before the immense granite pile, and the heavy bronze and oaken doors are w ide open Inviting you to enter, but If you try, you feel your progress Impeded by Invisible bars, polite attendants readily take your card and disappear with it into the inner sanctions, only to re-appear with an expression of the sincerest regret in their honest faces to tell you that owing to special circumstances it Is not possible for the head of the department to see you today. Yon may try It again but the unfortunate special circumstances are evidently chronic and no matter how persistent you are, you will finally come to the conclusion that Standard Oil in London has no more use for publicity than Standard Oil in America. That the headquarters of the company will he transferred to this city, as It has many and us Important interests in this hemisphere as in America, In the country of its birth, besides, it will have to be very careful In Its movements, years may pass before It will dare extend its field, but with its headquarters In London, with Its master plotters enthroned here, It may send Its tentacles eastward In Asia and Egypt, because the people of the old world are less practiced In fighting against trusts and their laws less carefully framed. Nobody will bid Rockefeller's concern welcome in Europe. Its reputation has reached even the remotest corners of the Czar's empire, and everyone knows that its coming will mean a fight the like of which we have never seen here, with victory for pious John D.'s oily concern by no means certain, for old world governments are somehow less pliable than Uncle Sam and an ukase of the Czar or an edict by some other monarch comes more quickly than a United States supreme court's decision and is even more dlfifcult to evade. Acton, a West end suburb, will be a place to stay away from on Coronation night for it is proposed on that sight to make It a suburb of Rong. London at present Is dominated by hundreds of coronation committees each one more determined to show its loyalty than the other, and If all the various schemes are carried out Dante's Inferno would be a heavenly pleasure resort compared to London during coronation week. The plan suggested by the Acton committee is a peculiarly vicious one, and I am thnklng my lucky star.that I do not have to spend the evening within its sphere of Influence. At 1015 In the evening the National anthem is to be sung in every house of the borough. , Imagine the effect! Even Richard Richard Strauss would not be able to devise a similar cacophony. In the faint hope that the plan might be a canard Invented by some penny a line reporter I interviewed Mr. Crane, chairman of the Acton coronation committee, but found him in dread earnest and genuinely delighted with his own ingenuity, which he evidently hojes will be rewarded by a knighthood or at least a higher order. "You know in these days almost every house can boast a ptano or some musical instrument," said Mr. Crane, "and it should be a simple matter to arrange a united singing of the na-

tional anthem in every house in the parish. Our Idea is to let the band strike up God Save the King" at 10:15 p. m., and to get the church bells to chime the same tune at the same time. Then everybody, whether outdoors or in the houes. can add their voices to the strains." Heaven preserve the citizens of Acton. The Duke of Marlborough Is enter talning a large Whitsuntide party at lenheim palace and King Manuel is one of the many distinguished guests. The great point of interest is a great semi military ball to be attended by all the officers of the Rucks and Berkshire Yoemanry on Monday. It is a very long time cince an entertainment of this kind has taken place at Blenheim and although the Duchess is being sincerely missed the event is welcomed by society as a sign that the magnificent palace is not to be permanently deserted. Aurouos of King Manuel the young monarch, who seems to have become reconciled to his fate very quickly, intneds to go in for racing over here as soon as poslble. He is negotiating for a p'.ace to at which his horses can be trained under his own eye. and at present it seems likely that he will rent the big house and grounds at Hanworth park, which belonged to old Mr. Lafone, late member of the house of commons, who died last month. There Is good galloping ground here and room for Immense stables, while the house and gardens are charming. The places lies west of Twieklngham, and there is historic precedent for royal occupancy, as Queen Elizabeth had stables here and hunted in the park with some regularity in the early years of her reign. An exceedingly interesting exhibi tion of Stuart and Cromwell relics was opened in Cambridge Guildhall the other day. Many Int resting memorials of Crom well Included In the exhibition have been obtained in the district, the Pro tector having received his education at the university, and afterwards represented the borough in Parlimcnt. The portraits include the famous picturo by Cooper showing Cromwell In later years, worn by his strenuous life. Other relics include the Protec tor's gloves, sword and spectacles. The Stuarts exhibits are in great number, and cover the history of the illfated family from the time of Mary Queen of Scots to the tragic ending of eh hopes of "Ronnie Prince Charlie. The Saffron Walden museum has lent the glove reputed to have been received from the Queen on the morning of her execution by Marmaduke Barrell, Master of the Household at Fotherlngay, but most fascinating to visitors Is a faded pale blue silk vest, with discoloratlons sand to be stains of blood, which was worn by King Charles on the scaffold; and the iron mask of his executioner. OVERCOME BY PAINT FUMES IN WATER TANK West Liberty, la., June 3. Shermon Pond, Clarence Smith, and John Lincoln, painters, were overcome by paint fumes while painting the .interior of the high pressure water tank building here. They were rescued by three men who were lowered through an eighteen inch hole in the top of the 120 foot tube. Pond and Lincoln regained consciousness soon after reaching the top of the tank. As the men were lowering Lincoln from the rof the strap about his chest rarted. Harry John, clinging to a ladder half way up the sheer wall, caught him after he had fallen about a dozen feet. BUMPER PEAR CROP IS IN WASHINGTON North Yakima. Wash., June 3. Nev er before probably did fruit trees promise to bear such loads as they do this year. To illustrate the heavy growths of young fruit on typical trees, exhibits have been made here this week from all parts of the fruit section. A fourteen Inch limb bears 125 pears, while on twelve inches of apple boughs, thirty-eight apples are clinging. The marvels are two fifteen inch cherry limbs, which are bearing 302 young Royal Anne cherries. All fruit yields promise to be equally as heavy, and it is a problem of the grower Just how much to permit the trees to mature and what fruit to knock off.

"It's a good thing to kill yourself when you are no longer useful in this world. But it takes a brave man to end his own life."

v 043 -DO m 0(1 LING OUT FLIES By the Wagon Load from San Antonio, Texas. (Palladium Special) San Antonio, Texas, June 3. Hauling flies out of town by the wagon load as a means of getting rid of them may be new in sanitary procedure, but that such is posible is emphasized in this city every day. It has been remarked many times that San Antonio has fewer flies than any other city in the country. This is not due to the fact that there are no places where this insect may breed, for in this city as in all others, there are many places of propagation. For years it has been a custom of the city to employ wagons to go from house to house daily and remove garbage. This garbage is hauled to a point outside the city where it is burned, the fires for this j purpose being kept going all the year ar0und The burning place is not a crematory in the common acceptance of that term, but Just an open field where the burning takes place. Every day as the wagons pass out of the city, the garbage they contain is some times almost black with flies. These, of course are hauled so far out they never get back and are soon destroyed in the burning garbage heaps. In addition to those hauled out, the larvae which is deposited in garbage goes out, too, and is burned. People as a rule are very careful to keep all garbage or trash about their places where flies may be produced, thrown into the garbage tubs. By this means millians of these pestiferous insects are prevented, and those which are grown to a mischievous age follow the garbage wagons to the country. After a careful investigation, it is the belief of the sanitary authorities that the practice of hauling garbage outside the city and burning it is one of the surest ways of getting rid of the house fly, which is known today to be a disease breeder. Thus it is proven that the best way to "swat the fly" is to give him free transportation out of town on the garbage wagons. By so doing, cities get rid of a large per cent of flies while their activities are most dangerous and also prevent millions daily from ever reaching a period of mischief and annoyance.

TEDDY HUD BILLY TO MEETJUESDAY Conference to Be Held at Baltimore to Discuss the Next Campaign. (National News Association) Washington, June 3. From the day Colonel Roosevelt started up the river Nile on his return to the United States from his invasion of Africa, the questions which have been agitating the political public are: What does Roosevelt think of Taft's stand in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy the controversy which resulted in the official beheading of Colonel Roosevelt's friend, Gifford Pinchot? What does Roosevelt think of the "heir to his policies" after two vears of an administration by the heir. Pres - ident Taft? These questions will be answered by President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt next Tuesday, when they meet for a conference in Baltimore. This is the first public meeting of the two men since Taft's inauguration. Will Aid Taft's Renomination. There is good authority for saying Roosevelt will work for the renominat.on of President Taft. George von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy in President Taft's cabinet and Postmaster General in President Roosevelt's cabinet, was a guest of Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay last Wednesday. Secretary Meyer arranged the details for the meeting on Tuesday. When President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt meet on Tuesday the whole plan for the convention, which will be held about a year hence, will be laid before the Colonel. The latter's plans for campaigning will be asked. Hitchcock Still in Saddle. Postmaster General Hitchcock prob ably will attend the conference. Not withstanding Mr. Hitchcock's declaration that he desired to quit politics, the word comes direct from the administration that he is still in the saddle and that he will remain there for some time to come. The visit of former Forester Gifford Pinchot to Colonel Roosevelt last week and his later visit to Secretary of War Stimson had much to do with DON'T FORGET That NOW is the time to protect yourself against loss by WINDSTORMS.

bringing about the meeting of next week. Secretary Stimson, too, has been an aid in this direction. Secretary of the Interior Fisher also has done much to bring the friends of the president and the Pinchot people together. Will Discuss Reciprocity. Another proposition which the two leaders will discuss will be the attitude of certain Republican senators toward reciprocity and through reciprocity toward the president. President Taft will inform the Colonel how these certain senators have been working using reciprocity as a hammer to chastise President Taft because of the latter's leanings toward the so-called Roosevelt policies. These senators resented the appointments of Secretary Fisher and Secretary Stimson on the ground that they showed conclusively that President Taft was leaning to a large degree toward his predecessor and what the latter represents.

21 Excelsior Auto Cycles Sold Up-to-Date 01 the 1911 Models It shows its supremacy there are more riders of the Excelsior than any other machine. It is the favorite for many reasons. It is the most economical in its upkeep, taking less gasoline than other makes. It has a belt drive which accounts for its being noiseless and smooth riding. With its long handle bars and low saddle position it makes it the most comfortable riding machine made. Another good feature of the Excelsior is that the machine is entirely under control by handle grips. In case of accident, the mechanical parts are so protected that it will not be damaged in the least. Many premiums have been given this machine in speed and endurance tests.
