CHINESE SEEKS DEATH
BECAUSE HE IS THIN
SAX FliAN'cisco, cal.. Feb. -J::.
Many reasons are given for persons
being tired of life and either ending
their existence or attempting to do so,
lint the most unique reason is given
by doe Sue Dock, a box maker from
Oakland, who is at present in Dr.
Poole's hospital, 40 Trenton place. Ser
jeant Luyne lenri.ed of the ease Fri
day and yesterday reported the result
of his inquiries.
.loo Sue Dork had an ambition to
beeonie very fat, as he is naturally
very lean. He Died everything known
to Chinese scH-iico to increase his avoir
dtij'ois, but the more he tried t lie thin
ner he grew, until in despair he cut
his throat with a knife about a month
ago. preferring to die than live with
out becoming a fat man.
Dock was brought from Oakland to
T)r. Poole's hospitol February 0 and is
slowly reeovering, but he declares that
lift will make another attempt unless
his ambition is f ratified.

Standard Oil Case Begins
Anew in Chicago Court

CHICAGO. Feb. L''!. The second .m-at
struggle between the Standard Oil coni

nient in which a fine of .-f-JH.ooo.ooii was
imposed ;he first time, began todav iri
ihe Cnited Slate;: circuit court, when
A'orney Miller, the chief counsel for
the Standard Oil company, moved that
the entire venire of I.'iU .jurors be piash

too many of the talisnu n being fanners.
The attorneys on both sides began ar
guments on the motion.
District Attorney Sims notified the
Standard Oil at tor novs (hat I he govern

offenses of rebating in viola! ion of tfie
Klkins antitrust law. If this prove
successful they will ask the court to

NKW VOUK, Feb. Ll. Distribution
of the .ili'.ooo.ouii in rebates due the
U.-'s consumers of New Vork, under
the order of Fnit"d States, supreme
court, was coiiinienc'd today and will
probably be completed within two
umnt lis. The auspicious day was made
a gala occasion by millions of New
Yorkers, since it marked the final snr
n inb-r of the vanquished fins trust and
the victory of the "common people."
The derision of the highest tribunal of
the land in this case will probably go
down in history as one of the most no
table it has ever rendered. For the
firs time a big combine has been forced
to d'sgtoge, and practically every house
holder in the city will share in the pro
ceeds of the disgorgement. It is es
timated that there :re about a million
and a half claimants, who have paid a
dollar for gas after the passage of the
SO cent gas law, a-id the work of set
tling all of these claims will be a gi
gantic task. Fx port ::rcount:ints have
