A Christmas shopping tragedy developed In police court here yesterday when Mrs. Kate Smith was arrlgned for stealing toys In a department store. The woman told a tearful story, which moved the Judge and spectators. She said her husband had given her $10 to buy toys for their four children, all he could afford. When she reached the shop ping district she was dismayed to find that her pocket had been picked and the money stolen. Rather than dlsap point the children 'of Christmas Joys. she decided to turn thief. Her story was Investigated, found to be true and Mrs. Smith was discharged, the de partment store officials voluntarily withdrawing the charge after the judge and a number of persons In court had offered to pay for the stolen goods. MORE OILY UNCTION. Charges and Counter Charges In the Standard Fight. NEW TORK, Dec 19. Testifying to day In the Missouri ouster suit against the Standard oil company, the Wat- ers-Plerce Company and the Repub lic Company, the president of the Re public declared that as a result of the disclosures in the proceedings, the use lessness of the Republic Oil Company as a supposed competitor of the Stan dard had ended. The entire business of the company, outside of Missouri, he said, had been turned over to the Standard. That portion In Missouri would also have been turned over, had not the Investigations prevented It. W. I. Heyer, of Baltimore, formerly man ager of the Republic Oil Company of St. Louis,' was asked by the attorney general If he recalled that when in St. Louis he received . Instructions In a circular letter to the trade, that the Republic Company was independent and was fighting the Standard. Heyer admitted he did; and also admitted the oil, which his company claimed was a better grade than the Waters-Pierce Company's oils, camefrom the same refinery as the latter company. This refinery at Whiting, Ind., and was owned by the Standard. It Is expected John D. Archibald will be among the witnesses tomorrow. CASTOR I A Tot Infants and Children.

Burton, of San Francisco, and Rich ard Cornelius, member of the execu tive board of the Pacific Coast for the Amalgamated Street Railway Em ployes' Union, are coming to Portland to assist engineering the strike against the atreet car company. Two telegrams were received from Cornelius this afternoon at strike headquarters. The first stated that Burton is now on Ma way to Portland to give his assistance, and will arrive here tomorrow night The second dls patch stated that Cornelius himself is coming to participate and will ar rive Friday night. Cornelius further announced that the national organisa tion will give all the financial support needed to the striker. The receipt of these dispatches has raised the hopes of the strikers. Bur ton was In Portland last Summer, when there was a strike threatened. Cars will be run to all districts of the east and west portions of the city tonight This does not mean that cars will be run on every line, but the va rious districts will be given service so Christmas shoppers may reach their homes as usual, up to midnight. This plan was decided on this morn ing by General Manager F. L Fuller, of the Portland Railway. Light Power Company. There Is a possibility that the line running over the Steel bridge will not be operated on the same schedule, but this has not been definitely decided," he said: "Neither will we operate cars on parallel lines to the same neigh borhood, for example on the Holladay and Irvlngton branches. The question of the Steel bridge may be decided bv night" The company officials are encour aged through the successful operation of rolling stock last night. Several depredations were committed, but they were attributed it to the hoodlum ele ment One Instance was reported on the Oaks line when rocks were thrown through the window of an Oaks car from high ground between the Oaks and the frelghthouse on that line. The car stopped and the crew made an Investigation, but heard only the marauders running through the brush. On the St. Johns line stones were fastened 4o long strings and thrown over the trolley wires, so that the rocks were suspended In midair about on a level with the glass windows of the car vestibules. Windows were broken as a reult, but no iriotormcn were Injured. Of all the attacks made on carmen, the operators class the St. Johns act as the most dastardly. Manager Ful ler has about decided to bring the matter to the attention of the St Johns authorities to determine if pos sible whether the culprits reside there or south of the city line. Non-union car conductors and mo tormen have decided to take a hand In the car trouble, and made the first step yesterday, when a committee waited on Manager Fuller as a result of a meeting held by representatives of the various divisions at the Pied mont barn Jt night. The "loyal" ear boys, those who stood by the company and refused to strike, want: First The company made plther un ion or non-union. Second Abolition of the photograph system. Third An Increase in pay. Fourth Readjustment of the runs. Fifth Organization of a mutual as sociation, with sick benefits. The committee calling on Manager Fuller was Informed that the matterR submitted would be taken Up for con sideration as soon as conditions re turned to normal. Mr. Fuller was In vlted to return to the Piedmont barn to talk with the men, but was . too busy handling the situation In the heart of the city. Treasurer Hugglns, of the railway company, however, wont to the barn ns representative of the company, and canvassed the proposed organization of a mutual aid associa tion. Old carmen desire such an associa tion, formed along lines similar to that now in existence in Seattle. They wish to place the dues at 50 cents a month. Only employes of the company are eligible to membership nnd when a man leaves the employ of the com pany his membership ceases. The monthly assessment, it Is said, will provide a sufficient fund for hospital , This is a big one and worth every woman's attention.
