Pipe Line Company was made the de
fendant in a suit filed in the Circuit
Court late today by William L. David,
prosecuting attorney of Hancock Coun
ty, and George H. Phelps, from the Attorney-General's
office. The State of
Ohio is the plaintiff.
The petition alleges that the Buckeye
Pipe Line Company is organized under
the laws of Ohio with a capital stock
of $10,000,000, and is empowered to

barrel for the transportation of oil
any distance. Such charges, it is said,
are only nominal and are imposed to
prevent others from availing them
selves of such facilities.

writ of mandamus and that the de
fendant provide for the public equal

In Ohio and fix a schedule, of rates.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. Owing? to
the fact that wide publicity has been
given to charges that Jl.000,000 of the relief

AFRAID HE WOULD DROWN
Lame Explanation of Failure to Res

Three Conflicting Stories of
How Boat Capsized.
HERKIMER, JT. Y.. Nov. 22. Chester
Gillette's own story of how his sweetheart
came to her death in the waters of Big
Moose Lake July 11, as related by him
to 'Under Sheriff Klock, who arrested
him at Arrowhead the Saturday morning
following, was retold today to the Jury
which Is trying the young ' man on tha
charge of murder. It was brought out
that Gillette knew that the girl had been
In a delicate condition since. He said he
and she bad been intimate for a year.
"When the boat upset, accidentally, as
you say, and she was floundering help
lessly in the water, why did you not" go
to her. assistance?" Under Sheriff Klock
tndpv fiwrvrA he Malted hta niHsmier
"Because," the young man replied, "i
was .afraid that she might struggle so
that we would both go down."
Rescued Baggage, Not Girl.
District Attorney Ward followed up this
lead by presenting In evidence, the suit
case, the camera and tripod, the tennis
racquet and other articles which are sup
posed to have been rescued from the wa
ter by the young man after the boat up
set.
"Gillette told me," continued the wit
ness, ' mat ne shouted to the girl to hold
on to the stern of the boat and he would
try to get her ashore. He said he did
not get near her, for he was holding on
to tne boat."
Klock's story was the only testimony of
interest presented during the afternoon
session. He declared that since his ar
rest Gillette had given three explanations
sjs to how the boat was overturned. When
asked if he or the girl was to blame for
the alleged accident, he replied, accord
ing to the witness:
'I suppose I am to blame for it."
Defense May Say "Suicide."
i .
Rev. Cuthbert Front, of Lowvllle, testi
fied that at Arrowhead on Friday he over
heard Gillette ask two young men If they
had heard of a tragedy on Big Moose, in
which a young girl had been drowned.
The witness did not hear the answer the
men gave.
A clew to the probable defense of Gil
lette was given in the letters of Miss
Brown, which were read in court yester
day. In them she wrote several times
that death would soon remove her from
the path of her lover. It is believed that
the -defense will seize upon this as indi
cating that the girl contemplated suicide,
and that this will be their explanation of
her death.
The state, it is said, has medical ex
perts to show that the frequent allusions
to death and a desire to die in "Billy"
Brown's letters are common symptoms of
the condition the unfortunate girl was In
at the time.
FIRE L0SSAT BAY CITY
Whlttier-Coburn Oil Company and
Asphalt Company Plants Burned.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. Fire to
night destroyed the plants of the Whlttier-Coburn
Oil Company and the Bar
ber Asphalt Company at Seventh and
Cooper streets. The loss la estimated
at $500,000, with little insurance.
In a tierce gale blowing 50 miles an
hour, the fire department tonight had the
hardest battle with flames since the dis
aster of last April. The .fire started in
the plant of the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company, at Seventh and Hooper streets,
and. driven by the high wind, the flames
had already spread to the warehouse of
the Whlttier-Coburn Oil Company adjoin
ing, and were leaping toward the plant
and storage tanks of the Standard Oil
Company, directly across the street, when
the fire department arrived.
The firemen centered their efforts on
preventing the fire from spreading to the
lumber yards at one side and the whole
sale district on the other. It was only by
the hardest work that the Standard Oil
plant" was saved. Had its many tanks,
tilled with oil, caught fire, it would have
meant the destruction of the lumber and
wholesale districts.
The Barber Asphalt and the warehouse
of the Whittier-Coburn Company, contain
ing over JsoO.OOO worth of glass and large
ciuantilies ot wall paper were completely
destroyed.
