Washington, .Inn. -!•.—! 11 one of the most bitter attacks ever made 011 the Standard Oil company the interstate commerce commission transmitted to congress Its report 011 the relations of common carriers by railroad to the oil production and distribution in the Unit ed States. This Investigation was made under the Tillman (Sillespie resolution and covers the distribution of petroleum and ils products cast of the .Mis Mlstdppi river and also Ihe Kansas and I exas field*. The rr|»ort severely arraign* the Standard's methods of competition. On this point it snys in part: Secret Methods of Competition, ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. The Standard has repeatedly. :Dfter becoming th» owner of a competing com pariy. continued to operate it under the old name, carrying the idea to the public that the company was still independent and competing with the Standard. ft has UBed such purchased or Independently organised companies to killjolt competitors by such companies reduC;(nfT prices. Th" operation of Such fake Independent concerns has been one of ItM most effective means of destroying competition. The Standard has habitually rpduced the price against its competitor in a particular locality while maintaining Its prices at other places. When competition was destroyed It advanced or restored former prices. Out of the many questions asked by the lawyers for both sides only one stood out as unusual. That was a question asked by John B. (ileason, one of Thaw's lawyers, in which the lawyer inquired of a talesman whether lie would lie prejudiced against the defendant if several defenses were put in. As the question had been asked after consultation with Clifford W. Hurt ridge, chief counsel to the defendant. it was believed that more than ordinary significance attached to it. .lust what the lawyer meant by his hint th'nt several defenses might be put in could not be ascertained, for no one connected with the defense would C;lscvDss the question. Out of more tliau twoscore talesmen examined five qualified as jurors. Neither .Mrs. Julia Simpson, wife of the former Fifth avenue dentist, nor her mother, Mrs. Ella Horner, whose husband Dr. Simpson is charged with killing on the night »of Dec. 1!XV). was in court, but their roles wore clearly outlined by both prosecution and defensp. John Williams Before Coun- ty Court. The report points out the methods by J which the Standard Oil company "has built tip and perpetuated its monopoly and th" relations of transportation agencies to that monopoly." That the "ruin of its competitors lias been a distinct part of the poliey of the Standard Oil company, persistently . pursued." is part of the allegations.

COPVftKlHT, t=)0D.BrK The case of John Williams, of Wilkesbarrc. formerly of Duryoa, charged with the murder of ltobert C. Doan, In Schwartz's livery stable, Wilkesbarre, on Nov. 128 last, was called for trial before Judge Dynch, yesterday. The prosecutor is Chief of Policc Clifford, of VVilkesbarre. - The counsel for the defense are Attorneys S. S. Herring and William Face, while Assistant District Attorneys Evan C. Jones and John 11. Dandu are looking after the prosecution. The larger part of yesterday's session was taken up with the selection of the jurors, in which the greatest of care was exercised. The following will serve: GOVERNOR PARDEE AND THE It is found that the Standard Oil company largely monopolises the handling of petroleum from the mouth of the well until it is sold to the retailor and sometimes to the consumer, and its margin of profit is very large. The evi-j dence shows little basis for the contention that the enormous dividends of the Standard Oil company are the legitimate results of its economy, as except for its pipe lines the Standard has but j little advantage over the independent ] Complete Control by Standard JAPANESE. Talesman's Sudden Death. The crowded courtroom was thrilled by the death of Franklin O. Reeve, one of the 150 talesmen summoned by special panel. Reeve, a wealthy farmer, had answered the summons, although not yet recovered from a heart ailment. The excitement of the opening scenes brought on - an attack from which he collapsed in the courtroom. He was carried to an anteroom and died within fifteen minutes. The death hail a noticeable effect on the other talesmen and was taken as an ill omen. In his recent message to the legislature Governor George C. Pardee of California points out that in his view President Roosevelt does not understand the situation on the Pacific coast with regard to the Japanese. Governor Pardee's attitude toward these people and the president is courteous and conservative. He is thoroughly acquainted with nil phases of the subject. The governor was a practicing physician in California for many years. He is an authority 011 irrigation matters. His wife and charming daughters are very popular In the social circles Sacramento and San Francisco. Hard Work to Get Jurors.

It was not found necessary to use peremptory challenges on talesmen who were not wanted as jurors, for the talesmen were eager to take advantage of all questions asked by the lawyers that would enable them On I lie question of remedies the ro port makes these observations: FATAL Contractor John Reilly is conduct_B a small sized coo 1 mine on the ) j Conway property, on North Main . street.

The amended act to regulate commerce makes the existing pipe lines common carriers, subject to that act. and the power to prescribe just and reasonable rates, regulations and practices, after complaint and hearing, is conferred npon the commission. Kilt the pipe line tariffs filed with the commission are alleged to be of no actual advantage to the Independent operators. The commission can only act upon these schedules after complaint has been made challenging specific rates. Edward M. Jones, Are boss, Nantieoke.The pipe line system of the Standard, it is alleged, is not a natural but rather an artificial advantage, and it is argued that the reason why long pipe j lines competing with those of the Standard have not been provided is j found in tlx- obstacles in the way of i sueli undertakings opposed by the rail- J roads.

When it looked to Haas as if he would be accepted his opinion suddenly became stronger, and in reply to a question of one of the lawyers for the defendant he said that he thought his verdict might bp influenced by the opinion that he had formed from reading about the case in the newspapers. The talesman pleased Thaw's lawyers, however, when he said that, while he would be willing to convict if the crime with which the defendant"was charged were proved beyond a reasonable doubt, his doubt would go a long way and that it would take much evidence to remove It.
