' "A part of this territory was the

portation business of petroloum and
other kindred products. The railroads
had fixed a rate from Whltson. Ind.,
---to fit. Ltfiuln of 18 cents a barrel. This
rate waa not obtained from one traffic
sheet, but was obtained from two or
' mora, but It waa the only oil traffic
rate of tha. railway. The Standard Oil
company got Its shipment at 6 cents
barrel and It was claimed that some

that thla question of knowledge waa a
question of fact and should have been
submitted to the Jury. It also holds
that each shipment doea not constitute

rate not having been on the regular

oral Bebates Crash Competition.
"It. is a matter of public history that
the Standard OH company has by se
cret rebate largely built up Its great
monopoly of the oil business. By this
means It has been able to crush out all
Its competitors. Its great profits thus
obtained have enaoied it to get control
" f moat of the ell lands in the United
States and also get practical control
1 of nearly all the railroads of the
, United. Btates. It also has adopted
the policy that . the public ought
not to mave knowledge of Its
transactions, assuming It Is a mat-
er In which the public has no Interest,
n order to prevent the public from
knowing, It has done Ita business
through numerous corporations such
as the Indiana company.

Bun Trom law.
'It has been repeatedly denied that
thla Is true, and the United States
government and the various state gov
. emments. In their attempt to get at the
facts, have had great difficulty in ob
taining (hem. Chief offlcera -of the
Standard Oil company have avoided the
Frocesa of tho court by running away
rotn the United States for a time and
by secreting themselves so that the
process-servers could not find them.
"They have employed the ablest law
yers In the country to prevent process
Issuing from the courts. The company
has not hesitated to adopt all kinds of
lying and subterfuge In order to pre
vent the facts from being known, but
. n course of time through the aid of
the courts they have been made public
r and It develops that these corporations
under different names are merely the
Standard Oil company acting through
age ta.
"Standard OH has gone to the extent
of having different corporations oper
ate In (tha same territory, using the
public press In paid advertisements de
nying that they were connected with
the Standard Oil comnanv. and in all
'mta of ways attempting to deceive the
public. Now these facts are as well
known today as the facts In regard to
the'Tlvil war or the revolutionary war,
or any other thing that has become
public history, and they are facts of
which the courts In a general way may
properly take Judicial notice, the same
a jhey should take notice of any pub
lic event that lias become a matter of
history.
Question of Bemedy.
"Judge Tandls evidently took this
view and fined the company the maxi

reverses the Land Is Judgment, and I
think tha claim of the attorney for the
Standard Oil company Is well taken.

public cannot stand on tip toes all the
time for the purpose of watching the
Standard Oil company In order to pre

Pnbllo Ownership the Bemedy.
"The result of this case will be an
object lesson that will attract more at
tention to this question of public own-
ershln than anv one thins: that has re
cently happened. If this question of
ownership Is to be assumed by the en
tire public, it will be done with great
reluctance, but If these gentlemen who
control these Interests will refuse to
accede to a reasonable regulation and
will refuse to obey the law. and con
stantly oppose tne process of the courts
and thereby show, their utter contempt
for Judicial procedure, it matters little
that they may be ever so strenuous as
defenders of courts when they want to
use the court process against their em
ployes. It will be utterly useless for
them to hold up their hands In holy
horror and accuse others of attacking
the courts, especially when the so-called
attack is merely a demand that certain
procedure shall be followed In the mat
ter of Injunctions.
X.t O-overamsni Ban Business.
"Individually I have held the opinion
for some time that the only ultimate
way to regulate and correct certain
evils Is to destroy these monopolies. If
that cart be done by regulation that
amounts to a remedy, that Is all the
average person desires. Hut if the pub
lic must be on ita guard at all times
and be constantly tin the lookout in
order to prevent these abuses, then I
am of the opinion that the other rem
edy will have to be applied, viz., pub
lic ownersnip or an puDlic utilities.
"I would put the limit of public own
ership at a point where it is necessary
to apply to the people or government
as such to grant a franchise in order to
conduct a business. If the public must
be asked to assist by franchise In the
conducting of a business, I would say
let the public run the business and get
the profits from It, and leave to Indi
viduals only those things which may be
done by and without the aid of a fran
chise and to which the public is not J
necessarily a party.

principal factors have to be considered.

Joseph Beardslcy, the young man who

while the patrolman had him at a pa
trol box awaiting the hurry-up wagon,
was arraigned in the municipal court
today on a charge of assruilt with a
weapon. Held under 11,000
ill be heard tomorrow, rteards
ley was arrested at Oregon City last
Saturday for being drunk and Porter's
pistol was found upon him.
With tear-filled eyes and quivering
lips Emlle Jeannet this morning related
the circumstances connected with the
drowning of Miss Thetta Stephens Sun
day night while out with him for a
boat ilde on the liver. He told It be
fore Government Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller, who held an official Investi
gation to ascertain what part the of
ficers of the towboat Vulcan played in
the tragedy.
The investigation brought forth no
new features beyond settling the ques
tion of how many lights were hurnlng
on tha raft. Kvldence of the crew and
officers of the Vulcan went to show that
while three lights had been burning till
the harbor was reached, one of them, the
very last on the raft, had gone out
when tho accident occurred. This, how
ever, had no material bearing on the
case since the peak and middle lights
were burning brightly and Jeannet
failod to sue them.
Juannet said it was the third tlma ha
had been boat riding and was not fa
miliar with light signals on the water.
He did not know that the three white
lights displayed on the Vulcan's mast,
one above the other, indicated she had a
tow behind.
"We were going up the river." said
Jeannet, "when we were overtaken by
the latge boat- Just as she bad passed
we noticed a small launch come In the
opposite direction and to avoid It I
i lulled behind the large boat. I did not
mow she was towing a raft until I saw
tho tow line about three feet away and
about two feet above my head. I rowed
fast and cleared it and told Miss Steph
ens to stoop down in me Doat. men
the cable caught the rudder and I was
dragged under. I came up alongside the
raft and swam around, thinking the
boat would rise to the surlace with the
girl, but finally the raft was about to
pass, and being fatigued, l grabbed one
of the last logs and clung to It till
rescued by the decknands after the boat
had stopped.
Jeannet said ft light had been placed
In the stern of the rowboat and it was
burning when the accident occurred.
John Clark, watchman, and Thomas
Richards, William Crook anil George
Steward, deckhands on the Vulcan, testi
fied to having found the rudder of tha
boat and a piece of one oar hanging to
the towing cable when they went to
make fast the raft at the mills of the
Oregon & Washington Lumber com
pany near Fulton. They heard Jean
net's cries for heln and found him lying
on the raft practically exhausted.
Jeannet said he did not see lights on
the raft but the deckhands as well as
Pilot E. T. Watt, who was at the wheel
that night, testified that two of tlu
lights were burning when the raft
reached Its destination.
Jeannet said he had no complaint to
make against the officers and crew of
the- Vulcan when asked by the inspect
ors. The body of Miss Thetta Stephens was
recovered yesteraay arternoon by Hugh
Brady, who dragged for It after having
been shown bv Pilot Watt as nearly as
possible where the accident occurred.
Tha spirits walked again In the clr
cult court today, when an effort was
made by tha Rev. Green C. Love faction
to obtain an Injunction to prevent So
phia Seip from calling the atate meet
ing; of tha spiritualist association. Mrs.
neip is anegeu to oe an usurper and
to have no authority to act longer as
president of tha organisation, from
which an attempt la being made to oust
ner
Presiding Judge Bronaugh was asked
to take up the Injunction matter tomor
row morning, at which time Mrs. Lou
Bllen Cornell Is to give har reason for
refusing to give up the records of the
association, but tha court thought thla
notice would be too short and advlaed
that tha matter be taken up again to
morrow, when both sides will be In
court.
The petition asking for an Injunction
declares that six out of eight of the
directors of the state association who
have been sued have already been de
clared guilty of usurpation by the en
tering of default against them. The
six are Mrs. Belle M. Havlland, Jennie
Werner, Virginia Rows, Lou Ellen Cor
nell, Mrs. F. M. Branch and Mary A.
Congdon. The others who are still
fighting back, are Mrs. Selp and Ed
ward KUiig.
The anxiety on all aides Is Increased
by the close approach of the date for
the state convention, with Vfro R.h,
claiming authority to preside arid the
finer raciion asserting that she is out
of it because G. U. Warne, the national
president, has decided against her 'con
tentions. The Love faction wants th
court to restrain Mrs. Sein from inn..
acting any business an president of the
association, and tomorrow will
make an effort to gnln possession of
tha records of the state association.

cuoHBings. He said that the cars were
supposed to be stopped before crossing
an intersection In the city, whether it
was a steam road or one of the other
tracks of the city company. He said
that the motorman was the proper per
son to look for danger and that he was
not supposed to cross any street unless
he was sure the street waa clear.
