The Auditor has decided that the owner of the animal thought that his hog was only worth half the price of a good hog. hence returned one half for taxation. AMUSEMENTS.

Evrr Doa'r connected with in investigation put In a bard day, and th two sessions gave substantial results. The testimony of George I Lane, of Mansfield. Ohio, a former employ or tn JHandard OH Company, wag regarded aa ki evidence.

Lane was for about 14 months In 1901 and 1902 employed by the Standard Oil Company for the particular purpose of driving all of th Independent oil peddlers In a dosen or more of the principal cities and towns of 'Northern Ohio out of bus! ness. He said: "I waa employed by C. M. Lyons, of the Cleveland office of the Standard Oil Com pany, to go to certain designated places and use every mean fair or foul to force th Independent to I was given rigid instruction' and I fol lowed them as close as possible. I suc ceeded tn driving out all competition tn a dosen big towns In Northern Ohio, and the only failure made was in Toungstown, where a man by the name of Fahey stuck It out.

notwithstanding that we spent as high aa 96 a gallon to give oil away. The whole idea waa to discourage the small Independent dealer and buy his customers up at any cost. We represented ourselves as independents, but we got our supplies from th Standard." Lane said that In fighting the peddler many methods were used. lnejr were threatened, cajoled and cocerced. offers of employment was made to them, their cus- tomers were supplied free with a much oil as they would accept, their wagons were followed by boys on bicycles to ascertain the homes of their customers, and ministers and labor leaders were bribed with oil to circulate testimonials among congrega tions and unlona testifying as to the fine quality of the Standard's products.

He said he had no instructions from his superiors to buy oils from th Standard or Galena Companies.

Railroads Worried Independents. D. E. Byles. Secretary and Treasurer of the Independent Oil Refining Company, of Oil City.

testified as to increases in freight rates various roads during the last 12 or 13 years. In the Indiana territory be said the Standard's agents contin ually circulated report that the Independent Oil Renning Company was In reality controlled by the Standard. The railroads. he declared, had begun Increasing the rates to New England In the early eighties and bad been gradually cutting; out th through rate to nearly all points and substituting an arbitrary rate, which was almost prohibitive. These rates, -which wre levied principally by the Lake Shore and Pennsylvania Roads, had practically driven his company out of the New England field.

In trying to reach Southern territory as far as New Orleans a similar difficulty was met. All kinds of difficulties, the witness said, were being continually thrown in their way by the railroads, particalarly the Pennsylvania, which compelled his company to build tank cars on specifications much more stringent than those required for their own cars. Frank J. Helmericfh. for 12 years an Independent oil dealer of Bellevue.

Ohio, testified as to all kinds of trouble which the Lake 8hore and Nickel-Plate Railroad Companies made for him after he had begun to do a good business. He said be was discriminated against in rates, 'shipments were delayed and he was not given the same facilities to handle his goods as was enjoyed by the Standard. Standard Oil agents, he said, were behind all the trouble and he lost much business because of it-Compelled To Sell Out. Tv. J.

Cram, who was engaged tn the oil business at Marietta, Ohio, from 1883 to 1807. testified that tn Standard for year used coercive method, and waa so persistent In Its efforts that his company was finally compelled to sell out to the Galena OU Company, a Standard branch, at a much lower flansre than might otherwise have been obtained. William Ebblnger. a dry goods merchant of Marietta. Ohio, testified that for several years previous to 1896 he was later-eeted in what waa known aa th Webster Refinery, tn th Marietta field.

Tbe refinery went into the bands of a receiver ultimately, he said, because of tha methods of the Standard Oil Company. The plan pursued by the Standard, he declared, to ruin the Webster Refinery was the starting of a- supposed Independent company, whoee- agents west among the Webster's customers and offered them better rates on goods handled by the Western people. The re finery he said, lasted only about three years because of these tactics. T. 8.

Every pos sible method waa used to keep the -pany's product on the road as long as pos sible, and the customers, despairing of get ting prompt service, toegaa buying of the BHsndard OU Company. When Attorney Kline, for the Standard Company, began aueatlonma: Mr.

It ass an nounced to-night that some of the saloons would remain open Sundsy in disregard of the order to close, in order to test the law. Members of the -Liquor Dealers' Protective Association held meetings in the several wards and raised funds to fight Sunday closing in the Courts. After these meetings the announcement was made by the members of the Executive Committees in sonr warda that the aaloona would remain open, but others said all would depend on the advice of counsel. The Executive Committee of the Brew-era' Protective Association conferred today and later said they would be guided by the advice of their counsel. After the meeting Attorney Asron Kohn aaia.

liquor deslers do not wish to, be placed. In the position -of- defying Mayor Barth and the Board of Safety. All th saloons will be closed from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday, except about a dozen or more, vrhich will remain open. The police may arrest these alleged offend, ers and we will try the cases out In Court. We believe the Sunday closing law is void and want to test it." Mayor Barth and the Board of Public Safety are determined to enforce the order even if It is necessary to-call out 300 ad ditional men.

It is predicted there will be trouble Sunday when the police attempt to arrest the saloon keepers. It will almost be a physical impossibility for the 300 patrolmen and 31 officers in the Police Department to arrest 673 men. Louisville has been the most wide-open town in the United States. The Citizens' League Issued a statement urging support of the closing movement. and giving as their reasons for closing the saloons that they violate the law and change the day to one of disorder and cause hardship on defenseless women and children of thre men who spend their money in saloons.
