Wachenheimer. of Lucas County, today filed suit In the Circuit Court asking revocation of their charters and dissolution of the illegal agreement and to appoint trustees for the creditors and stockholders. Many Companies Involved.

Crimes Alleged by State. In the petition it is alleged that the production of oil was reduced for the purpose of increasing prices to consum ers. It is eet up that this reduction amounts to 50 per cont. while the price of gas to the consumer lias been Increased 100 per cent. Reference to the alleged trade pact is sensational, alleging that the companies made defendants have bound themselves not to sell or transport oil or gac below a certain standard rate. Queries are directed In the petition to the railroad companies' presidents, asking them whether rebates arc given directly or Indirectly to companies, and whether the oil companies have been given pipe line rights on the railroads. State Is Real Prosecutor. It developed today that Mr. Wachen heimer filed the suits on behalf of Attorney-General Ellis. This Is especially sig nificant, together with the announcement that the cases will be pressed with all possible dispatch.

In cluding Julius Kruttschnltt. superin tendent of terminals of the Harriman lines. Powerful influences -were set at work to secure a special dispensation from the State Board of Health for permission to allow Mr. Kruttschnltt and his companions through without inspection. This afternoon the Health Board held a special session and de cided to admit the entire party. They boarded the train at once for the North. Considerable dissatisfaction is felt here over the action of the Health Board, as "it is felt that this action In permitting the party to land sets a grave precedent that may result In ex posing the port to danger of yellow fever infection. The country around quarantine Is Infested with -mosqultos and these pests make life miserable for the strangers. The Sultana had a thrilling trip across the gulf. She left Colon for Vera Cruz, Mexico, where Mr. Krutt schnltt intended taking a special train for a quick run to California, to take charge of the Southern Pacific prop erty. While in the middle of the gulf, the Sultana's boiler became disabled. The yacht was at the mercy of the wind for several hours. She was rap Idly drifting with the tide when the fruit-ship Appomattox came alongside and towed her to the Louisiana quar antine station.

Argument in Dr. Crapsey's Trial for Heresy Ends. CASE UNDER ADVISEMENT Edwin M. Shepard Denies Heretical Nature of Pastor's Utterances. Good Faith of Defense Is Called in Question. BATAVIA, X. Y April 2S. The fate of Rev. Dr. Algernon S. Crapscy, as a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church, rests with his Judges. The trial of the rector of St. Andrew, Roch ester, on charges of heresy and viola tion of ordination vows ended today with tho final arguments of counsel for the accused and for the prosecu tion. The ecclesiastical court of five members took the evidence under con sideration and will render a verdict to Bishop Walker of the diocese of West ern New York on or before May 13. Addressing the court in the morning. Edward M. Shepard, of New York, drew attention to Franklin D. Ickc"s statement that Dr. Crapscy had denied the Apostles' Creed, and said that Mr. Locke had no right to appear In the case. He said the administration of justice In an ecclesiastical or civil court Is fundamentally the same; that the court is independent and supreme. "In England," he said, "there Is a court representing the whole church to pass on matters of doctrine. We have no such court In this country. According to the canons it would appear to be the mind of the American church that no court should pasB on matters of faith and doc trine until a final court has been estab lished. Even in the time of the auto de fe In Spain there was one Invariable rule, which was that the man accused of heresy should be labored with. In this present ment, which only says that In the past Dr. Crapsey has made certain errors, there Is not a word to show that he was labored with In any way before this case was brought to triaL" Continuing. Mr. Shepard expressed his belief that the Catholic Church, by which he, said he meant the Universal Church for the Continent of America. Is the Protestant Episcopal Church. "It is to be, I believe." he said, "the center of life and good living In every community in our land. Expressions of the English clergy were more heretical than those uttered by Dr. Crapsey" Ex-Chief Justice Stlness of Rhode Island, for the prosecution followed Mr. Shepard. Speaking for the prose cution, he said It seemed that the de fense was trying the case before the nubile and not before the court. "I have failed to see any connection between the speeches of the defense and the speeches of-ihe court," he. de clared. "There has been one remarka ble thing In this proceeding which has led me seriously to doubt the good faith of the defense, namely that It has not called upon Dr. Crapsey to testify."

CRISIS IN TABAH AFFAIR Sultan Claims Half Sinai Peninsula and Naval Demonstration May Be Necessary Germany Sus pected of Backing Him. LONDON. April 2?. The patience of Great Britain with Turkey over the Tabah affair is about exhausted, and It was un derstood at the Foreign Office today that. If the Sultan does not soon'accedo to the British demands, there will be another demonstration before a. Turkish port with in a short time. Some months have elapsed since the Egyptian government discovered that Turkish troops had en tered Tabah. heretofore considered to be an unimportant point. Turkey, so Great Britain believes, occu pied Tabah, because she feared Egypt would obtain control ot the Gulf of Aka hah. But Great Britain claims- that this Is not the purpose of Egypt. The Sultan contended that Tabah was within his empire. This was disputed, but Great Britain offered to submit the question of the boundary to a committee.

The British gov ernment acceded to this. but. when the negotiations opened, tho Turkish Com missioner at Cairo claimed half of the SInal peninsula and stubbornly adhered to his demand that half of tha peninsula, which Is considered to be a buffer state ot Elgypt. Is Turkish territory and that It be given to the Sultan. The negotiations were broken off. and tha Foreign Office here will take up the case with the Porte. Thus far no communication has been sent to Constantinople on the subject. Great Britain, ls said to be anxious to learn whether the Sultan authorized the Turkish Commissioner at Cairo to claim half of the peninsula. This has been found most difficult, as the British Am bassador has been unable to see the Sul tan, who Is either 111 or feigning illness. Turkey's attitude Is the cause of much Irritation here, and the government is prepared to take ths most severe meas ures to protect Egyptian territory. Germany's Hand Seea In .More.

Austin" (Tex.) Corr. N. Y. Tribune. Edward W. Heusinger, of San Antonio, has just added to his collection of old and rare books a. geography which was pub lished in 1747. The maps in this book are remarkably well executed, and are inter esting In that they show the parts of the world as they were known at that time. On one of the maps the northwestern part of North America Is shown as "parts un discovered." Australia was also only partly discovered, and it is shown as tha land of "New Holland." with New Guinea and "Van Nleman's Land." now called ths Island of Tasmania, as one supposed con tinent. New Zealand, too. Is shown as a partly discovered new land. The Ha waiian Islands had not been heard of. The Atlantic Ocean was at that time called the "Western Ocean." What is now the Pacific Ocean was called the "Great South Sea." and tho Caribbean Sea was then known as the "North Sea." An other Important map in those days was that of Mexico, known as "New Spain. and what 13 now Texas was then tha "Province ot Louisiana." The French settlement ot "Natcbl koches" Is shown, and the countries o the Natchez and Apache Indians arc indi cated, and it ls Interesting to noto the source of the Rio Grande River, then called the "Rio de Norte," which, accord ing to this wonderful map, rises among some mountains in a land about where South Dakota now ls. Mr. Heusinger says one Important fac tor In the text of this work is the descrip tion of certain Indian tribes "toward the North River" (Rio Grande), known as the "Tecas," who "live in villages." "Tecas was then the name for the reformed In dians living In the missions, for it speaks of them as "having embraced Christian ity" and "being the more passionate lov ers of the Spaniards." Texas was there fore no doubt derived from the word; "Tecas." he says. The manor house at Saltfleat, Lincolnshire, Knxland. has what ls said to be the first wall paper used In England.
