(Josrnal
Flndlay, O.. Oct. li. The atate scored
heavily against the Standard Oil com
psny today when It established the fact
that the relationa existing between the
Seeps OH Purchasing agency, and the
Standard showed no competition In
Flndlay between the Standard Oil ana
the Solar refineries. J. C. Seeps, local
purchasing agent, whoae office is with
the Buckeye pipeline, testified that he
received Information of credit balances
over the private lines of the Buckeye
company. The state contends that ths
admission proves that the original trust
agreement la aUll In foroe.
The state today showed the connec
tion existing between '"the Standard Oil
company ami its subsidiary companies
the Ohio and Manhattan Oil companies,
the Buckeye pipeline and the Solar Re

were present In the effort to show
that one man ontrols them all.
The court records showing the trans

In court this morning as part of the
evidence of the existence of a trust.
Deputy Oil Inspector Shafer of. this
city said that he Standard OH company

the relations of the Solar Reflnlng com

Decision Favors Gov

Against Port of Port

Judge Wolverton Hands Down
Opinion That Establishes Prec
edent in Rulings of Admiralty
Case in This Judicial Dis
trict. Judge C. B. Wolverton handed down
an opinion this morning in the famous
libel suit of the United States against
the Port of Portland. The decision es
tablishes a precedent in the rulings In
admiralty cases In this district. In that
the sovereignty of tho government Is
established over what haa heretofore
been popularly supposed to be the right
of the state's public corporations to
oa Immune from recovery of damage.
The direct result of the decision of
the court Is that the government oan
proceed with Its ault and obtain dam
ages from the Port of Portland If It
oan be s town that the letter's employes
were negligent In regard to the federal
rulings which govern the carrying of
lights upon the tug John McCraken

they ran Into and sank the lighthouse

October I, HOB.
The suit haa attracted national at
tention and haa been eloaely followed
la Its course by lawyers and jurists as
well as by officials of the navy and
treasury departments. Many suite of
similar nature have been tried In the
admiralty courts, but this la the first
ons In which a decision has been
granted in thla district In which the
effect of the decision has been to set
aside the state s rights where the lines
of contention have been so closely
drawn between the federal government
and the state
History of the Case.
The case was first tried on the lasue
aa to whether the government could re
cover from the tag and the dredge.
This point was argued at length and a
aeciaion adverse to the government waa
handed down. Then the government
sued the port of Portland aa the own
ers of the property. Exceptions were
made by the respondent en the ground
that It was a public, corporation and
not liable to damages for torts by Its
employes while operating any of Its
property in such public capacity. It
was upon these exceptions that Judge
Wolverton ruled today. The opinion
was quite long and was 10 minutes In
the reading. Many oases of similar
nature were rererred to and Inferenoes
drawn from them to sustain htm in his
decision.
The case grew out of the collision be
tween the Mansanlta and the tug end
dredge. The Mansanlta was pursuing
a course down stream at almost right
angles wun tne dredge, which was be
ing towed up stream by the tug. As
the vessels approached seoh other the
difficulty of navigation waa Increased
by reason of their courses, and a colli
sion resulted. The Mansanlta had a

he will be elected president," said Paul
Morton, president of the Equitable and
former secretary of the navy, on leav

"I can not conceive of hie election

New Tork, Oct. II. W. B. Hearst's
surrender to Tammany Hall In the mat
ter of judiciary nominations has proved
too much for the Independence league,
and It bolts the nominations. By unan
imous vote, the county committee of
the league, meeting In the OUsey house,
denounced Murphy, the Hearst ticket,
aa made up of Tammany "packs" sa un
worthy of the support of boneet men,
and appointed a committee of five to
place an Independent ticket in the field
and instructed Max Ihrasen, chairman
of the league's state committee, to In
form Hearst of lta action.
The. committee adjourned without
waiting to hear from Hearst, who waa
speaking In Corning last night The
reputation of Hearst's deal with Mur
phy by the Independence league la the
most severe blow the Hearst candidacy
haa yet received. It came at a time
when Hearst's agents were seeking to
patch up a truce with Senator McCarren
in Brooklyn, under which the league
would forego nominating a ticket there
in return for some pieces on the judi
ciary ticket In the Second lstrlot. Mc
Carren' refusal to enter Into the deel
was forcible and final.
