The nctlon Is one of equity brought under the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust lujvs. The control through the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, of more than a hundred corporations engng ed In refining nnd marketing oil.

Early In 1870 Rockefeller and Flagler It la alleged -entered Into a conspiracy , to control the oil trade They pooled their business and or ganized the Standard Oil company In Ohio with a capital stock of a mil lion dollars. Through their ability to secure preferential rates from rail rofcds, It is alleged that . by unfair trade methods they were enabled, ac errdlng to the gnvarnment, to drive to the wall and absorb most of the Independent companies. Tho trust which exists today was not organized. according to the complaint, until .1899 When the Standurd Oil company In New Jersey was formed. The power of the government to subpoena Indi viduals outside of the St. Louis dls trlct of the federal court and compel them to answer to the charges, was at first denied. The contention was argued at length, and overruled. The defendants thon filed answers to the government's allegations, and the case was set for trial. Judge Ferriss was appointed special examiner and for nearly two years held hearings In the principal cities of the country. The evidence when completed was print ed and forwarded to St. Louis, and filled twenty-one volumes atid more than twenty-f.ve thousand pages. It was argued April 5, before the full circuit court bench here. Th defense of the corporation was that the pres ent organization of Standard Oil was the result of a natural growth of a great Industry and that no statute had been violated. Rockefeller Is Silent.

MONDAY WIIJ, SEE GREAT CRISIS' IX LOXDOX London, Nov. 20. The consecu tion of tin? fOTTecTKlngdom will -fall in the melting pot on Monday when the budget is moved for passage in the house of lords. Its rejection which seems certain, gives th -voters two alternatives at the January election. The first will be upholding of the liberals and the budget and giving added Impetus to the marked social htie tendencies of recent politics and the other Is the upholding of the lords, and the consequent repudiation of the constitutional provision of the house of commoiis to control the fi nancial end of the government, thus damming the socialistic tide. No matter which side wins, a revolution in British poliths is sure to follow ZF.LAYA JUSTIFIES EXECUTION' OF AMERICANS Washington, Nov. 20.

SLUSH ER IX)SES $00 JEWELS Theft Is Sitprwised to Have Occured Ijist Sunday While Family Was at Church Officers Hnve Bern Work lug all Werlt on Case bnt no Clew Is Afforded. News of a $Sfi0 diamond robbery which occurred In this city during the past week, has just come to light. The officers have been working quietly on the case for some time In tho hopes of being able lo apreiiend the guilty person but they have about come to the conclusion that the robber has made good his escape from the city. Mrs. William Slusher, wife of Wil liam Slasher, the prominent wool grower and Former Joint representative fiom Umatilla and Morrow countv is the victim. The diamonds are believ ed to have been taken from her room in their residence in North Pendle ton last Sunday morning, while the family was at church. While the lred girl was in the . kitchen, preparing the midday meal, it Is believed the thief, who had evidently been ob serving the habits of the family, en tered the front door, made his way to the room of Mrs. Slusher and se cured possession of the jewels. That he was familiar with the house and the place where the diamonds were kept, is evident from the fact that nothing else was taken. The jewels taken consisted of two solitaires and a turquoise ring with a diamond setting. The jewels were valued at J600, not to mention the value placed upon thorn by the owner through the attachment she had formed for them during the years 'of their possession. The last time Mrs. Slusher wore the rings was last Saturday evening. They wore not, missed until Tuesday hut it is believed that the only time when they could possibly have been taken was Sunday morning when the family was at church. Both the city and county officer1" are working on the case, but owing t th" two days start which the thief had. and the probability that he Im mediately made an effort to put a great distance between himself and Pendleton, there seems to bo small chance of apprehending the perpe trator of the bold deed.

TACIT UXDERSTAXDIXG BUT XO WnrTTEX COXTRACT Cunningham Interests Seek to Prove Combination Wag Xot Illegal Government Produces Affidavits Showing Intended Consolidation by Which Cunningham Would Profit Entrymen Itefused Offer from Guggenheim Agent. Seattle, Nov. 20. That the Cun ningham entrymen had a "gentle men's agreement" to consolidate their claims and work them in common or sell in a body to the Guggenheims, but had no such, binding compact as to involve the Integrity of individual titles of the entrymen, is the defense indicated in the preliminary sparring In the coal lands cases being tried here. By affidavits of the entrymen and of the Cunningham agent, the gov ernment has already shown that or iginally there was an agreement or understanding among the entrymen which would consolidate the claims and give Cunningham an eighth in terest for his services. Entryman A. D. Jones, in an affidavit, said: "We have understood among ourselves that when the titles have been secur ed we would form a company to com bine the entire group. This was only an understanding. We had no writ ten agreement -or instrument what ever. Last spring the Guggenheim agent made us an offer which a few wanted to accept, but the majority refused to consider and the others stood, by the majority." OREGON DEFEATS AGGIES.

PRISOXEIl LOST HIS TEMPEll OX STAXD All Evidence and Testimony Is Sub mitted and Arguments Being Made Phelps' Cross Examination Ar oused Vindictive Spirit of Accused Defense Weaves Last Strand Attempts to Disprove Testimony of Shubert and Xeuner. $ The trial of the Ryan murder case took a new turn late this afternoon and it may not go to 4 the Jury tonight. Just before closing their cases, the defense put on a number of witnesses from Waitsburg, Washington, and vicinity to show that Diz- on's reputation for peace and quietude was bad. This will probably cause the state to put on reputaton witnesses in re- buttal and the case may go over until Monday. Mike Ryan's fate will probably be In the hands of the Jury by 10 o'clock this evening. At time of going to press, practically all that remained: was the arguments of the attorney? and it is not .believed that many hours will be consumed in this. It Is there fore possible that the man accused of murder will know by morning what fate is in store for him. The feature of yesterday afternoon's sessions of the trial was the cross-examination of Ryan. For more than three hours District Attorney Phelps kept the witness on the stand and do ing a great portion of that time ha was beside himself with anger. If It was the purpose of the district attor ney to show to the jury that the ac cused man had an ungovernable tem per and vindictive spirit, he apparent ly was successful. Otherwise the defendant . made a good witness for himself. He told a straightforward story of the occur ences on the day and evening of the tragedy, apparently fully accounting for his presence in fhe lane with the gun when. Shubert was first stopped and also for his presene with the same gun In the Dixie pasture, later in tha evening when Ryan and Dixon return ed for the team. When Ryan left the stand, the de fense began the introduction of tes timony to show that it was Impossible to distinguish a gun in the hands of a man near the Ryan house from the Xeuner home, a feat which both Shu bert and Neuner claimed they did. Twenty-one tests were made. Wit nesses were also put on the stand to show that at a distance of six feet, a discharge from a gun, similar to the one used by Ryan, would not leave a powder mark on clothing. As the am ount of powder used in the cartridge with whicu the test was made, was not the same as that In the cart ridge with which Dixon was killed. the court refused to allow the testi mony to go to the Jury. It was there fore read in to the record. The threatened introduction of character and reputation testimony failed to materialize thus far and the rebuttal testimony, if any, will there fore probably be short. The court has been packed with spectators all day. there being tho most women present of any time since the trial started. , dates promised to furnish power to l this city at rales much 1 uver than , those given by the present clectr.c i company. i At th f fine, according to Mr. Fitz gerald, nothing but preliminary work has been d r.e . towards developing the c mr-iny' power plant.
