ir 12 PAGESFIVE O'CLOCK. Head of Standard Oil to Be Summoned on His Return from Europe. COURT HAS ALREADY ISSUED DOCUMENT Oil King and His Company Charged With Violation of Valentine Law. Banker, however, overruled their objections and decided that his court had jurisdiction. ROCKEFELLER TO FACE OHIO LA 8 Findley, Ohio, July 7.Judge Banker of the probate court has issued a summons for John D.

Rockefeller in connection with the suit recently filed against the Standard Oil company and Mr. Rockefeller, in which it is alleged that the Valentine anti-trust law has been violated by the Standard Oil and its subsidiary company. The summons has been turned over to Sheriff Groves, who states that he will make service upon Mr. Rockefeller as soon as the latter returns from Europe. Sheriff Groves has gone to Cleveland to serve summons upon the Standard Oil company thru ne of its officers.

Action has been brought against John D. Rockefeller which, if successful, may lead to his imprisonment. The Standard Oil company and Mr. Rockefeller are charged with conspiring to monopolize and control the production, transportation, refining, purchase and gale of petroleum in Hancock county. In the event that the state makes A case against Mr.

Rockefeller he can be Imprisoned for a period of from six months to a year in the workhouse at Toledo and fined from $50 to $5,000, or both. This aotion is appealable to the higher courts unless the defendant pleads guilty. But if carried to the higher courts the sentence as imposed by the lower court obtains unless illegalities are shown in the process of court. If convicted, Mr. Rockefeller probably would join the force of brickmakers in the Toledo workhouse.

The information, which was filed by Prosecutor David, alleges that in 1882 Eockefeller combined individual partnership corporations into the Standard Oil company. The purpose of this company, the information asserts, was to create a monopoly. This, it is alleged, TraB a conspiracy against trade. Attorneys for Mr. Rockefeller and the Standard company made a bitter fight, claiming that the probate court has no in sua cases.

Judge MOODY IS AFTER CAPITAL Federal Grand Jury Investigates Like Inquiries May Be Made in Other Cities. Journal Special Service. Chicago, July 7.A "Washington special to the Tribune says: As a direct result of the initiative of AttorneyGeneral Moody, the federal grand here has begun an investigation into the operations of the ice trust with I i view to( criminal prosecution of the ocal officials under the anti-trust law. It has been thought this prosecution, in line with others thruout the country, would have a good effect, because it would call attention to the national character of the proceedings and possibly pave the way for similar action by the federal grand jury in every city where the price of ice has been unfairly run up in the community. According to the general understanding, there is no national ice trust operating like the Standard Oil, for instance.

There has been developed, however, a series of agreements to divide competition into particular fields with regard to national ice. The greatest ffensos have been in the combination of ice manufacturers in the different cities. These have been able to control the price, especially in southern territory, where the distance from ice fields and shrinkage in value makes it impossible to place a high price upon the natural product. For a week or two Washington has been suffering from what dealers call an ice famine. Recent investigation has led Commissioner West of the District of Columbia to conclude that the famine has been entirely artificial and the ice trust, which imports some of the natural products from Kennebec by shiploads, but which also controls the manufacture of artificial ice, engineered the shortage for the express purpose of furnishing excuse for an advance in price.

The investigation proceeded far enough to satisfy the attorney general there was good ground for prosecution tinder the Sherman law, and he directed the district attorney to bring the matter to the attention of the grand jury. It is said at the department of justice that the methods in Washington have been practically the same as those made use of in other cities. It is suspected the icehouses at the sources Supply are the real heads of the trust, so far as the natural product is concerned.

Jrann, WILLIAM K. HEARST, Who Says He Will Not Seek Democratic jg Nomination for Presidency. 1 HEARST SAYS HE WILL NOT Newspaper Man Says He Won't Seek Presidential Nomination Bryan His Choice. Journal Speeial Service. San Francisco, July 7.Scratch the name of William Bandolph Hearst off the list of democratic presidential possibilities for 1908.

He will not be a candidate. Furthermore, Bryan is his choice, with Adlai Stevenson as the Nebraskan's running mate. Mr. Hearst set doubts at rest himself in an interview which he gave out here. He was asked for a statement of his on the national political outlook in general and the probable democratic nominee in particular.

I would like to state positively," Said Mr. Hearst, "that I am not a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination in 1908. "Mr. Bryan said the other day in London that there were others besides himself who had claims on the nomination thru services rendered the democratic party and mentioned pleasantly Mr. Folk, Mr.

Bailey and myself. "While appreciating Mr. Bryan's compliment, must decline to be considered a candidate. Let the list stand, Mr Bryan pleases, Bryan, or Folk, or Bailey. For my part I would subStevenson for Bailey.

Bryan's Services. "Mr. Bryan's services to democracy are too well recognized to be rehearsed. He has led the party conspicuously in two presidential campaigns, and in one senatorial campaign. In the national campaigns he has made the issues himself and expounded them brilliantly.

"Mr. Folk's services are notable and real. In fact his services, have been rendered to all citizens, irrespective of party, for his career as an honest and efficient public servant is an example to republicans and democrats alike. "As for Mr. Baileywell, Bailey's services have been rendered to the corporation end of democracy that I do not consider dmooracy.

Its control of the machinery of the democratic as well as of the republican party has led me to seek my ideals of the democracy of Jefferson and the republicanism of Lincoln in the independence league. I repeat, definitely and positively, that I am not a candidate. I think I am doing work thai is of value to my fellow citizens and I am content. Will StlU Serve. I do not say that I will not run for any office, for I am willing to run, as I did last fall, to break up a political trust or criminal combination between both political parties or to help defeat those wretched little political- sneak- thieves that are lifted into the open windows of public office by corporations to pass out to them the people's property.

I am willing to join any independent movement, the object of which is to free parties from boss rule and corporation control and to give the people a free voice in the management of their own affairs. I am eager to see the lkie drawn, irrespective oi party, between those who believe in special privileges and those who believe in popular rights, between the producing classes and the plundering and wherever that line is drawn I will gladly fight in the lead or in the ranks, as required." CHAMBERLAIN HAS NEW GOLDEN RULE British Tariff Reformer Puts Ideas Into Epigram for "Chamberlain Day." Birmingham, July 7.This is Chamberlain day and the whole city, irrespective of politics, is enjoying a holiday in honor of the tariff reformer, Joseph Chamberlain, who today celebrated his seventieth birthday. There are decorations everywhere, the city is filled with visitors and all sorts of processions and entertainments are going on. The lord mayor and lady mayoress gave a reception and luncheon to Mr. and Mrs.

Chamberlain, who were accompanied by Mrs. Endicott, mother of Mrs. Chamberlain, of Mass. Subsequently the party made a tour of the parks, where thousands of the city schoolchildren were specially entertained. Mr.

Journal Special Service. New York. July 7.That the former controller of the currency, James H. Eckels of Chicago, who was prominent in the monetary affairs of the country under President Cleveland, has been slated for president of the New York Life to succeed Alexander Orr, was asserted openly in insurance circles yesterday. It was said that President Orr had served notice on the trustees that he would not stand for re-election.

Th reason assigned for selecting Mr. fo a in the board, it was said, he might become identified with the company before being elected president, should the old management win out at the election in December. The charter of the New York Life provides that the board shall consist of twenty-four trustees and a president, who shall be ex-officio a trustee. Therefore, anyone outside the board may be elected president, but those who desire to see Mr. Eckels the head of the company think it would be better to have him in the company before that.

It will be easy enough, they say, to fill a vacancy in the board after he has been elected. There is no longer any doubt that President Orr intends to leave his office as soon as the new board is elected.

PEARY, Hardy Arctio Explorer, Who, Feared, Is Loet, Is NO NEWS COMES FROM CAPT, PEARY Some Apprehension Felt Because of the Severity of Spring's Arotio Weather. Journal Special Serrioe. Washington, July 7.That Captain Robert Peary has sacrificed his life in the effort to discover the north pole is the fear of naval men who are worried by the failure of tiding from the ship Roosevelt, which sailed for the arotic regions July 16, 1905. Advices from- the American Geo- Seports 'aphical society add to their fears, are that the weather in the far north this spring and early summer was more than usually rigorous that severe storms have been frequent, and that the ice is heavy. Xt is feared that Peary's ship may have been ground to pieces.

The explorer's plans were to proceed to the farthest possible point of land north of Cape Sabine and within 500 miles of the pole. There he was to establish a winter base and make all preparations for a dash across the ice this summer. According to his calculations, he would nome not later than October. It is now thirty yean since Peary began his work as an amis explorer LID NAILED DOWN IN NEW JERSEY Dry Sunday All Over the State for the First Time in Fifty Yean. Journal Special Service.

New York, July 7.New Jersey, for the first time in fifty years, is to have a "dry Sunday" all over the state tomorrow, under a law that is expected to keep it "dry" indefinitely.

ADDICKS PLAINLY CALLED A LIAR Delaware Politics to the Front AgainWar Made on Senator AUee.

Journal Special Service. Dover, July 7.At a meeting of the Union Republican State Central committee to elect a vice chairman, first fights were narrowly averted. The lie was frequently passed. In short it was a fight to a finish between Addicks and United States Senator Allee, with the former vainly attempting to wrest from the latter the control of the state at the coming election. While it was supposed prior to.

the meeting that an attempt would be made to oust Senator Allee as ohairman it was agreed by the Addicksites that such a step would not be taken at this time, such action being left to the republicans in general at coming state convention which most surely wiS deprive-Delaware's lone senator from further retaining control of the republican party in this state. An argument between Addicks and former Secretary of State Layton, at present holding a federal position at Washington thru the grace of Senator Allee, almost resulted in blows, Addicks accusing Layton of having been bought by Allee thru appointment to a $4,000 a year Layton, with olinched first, replied to Addicks that he was a liar. In an instant Addicks was at Layton with the exclamation: "No, you are the liar, you traitor. You have done more to ruin the republican party this state than any other man." Friends of the two politicians stepped between the men. The contention which caused dissension was a resolution offered by Layton looking toward party harmony or unification of the two factions.

It was bitterly opposed by the Addicks men from the fact that it places within the hands of Senator AUee the power to bring about harmony rather than leaving it to the people, '4 -v A Northern Pacific Is to Establish a Great Freight Transfer. EAST MINNEAPOLIS AS FREIGHT CENTER Soo Line Is to Improve Road and Establish Distributing Tracks. Tremendous yard developments are planned for Minneapolis by two big railroad systems, the Northern Pacific and the Soo line, to keep pace with the Storyhwhicheicittributarye 'owt of th and th western ter- to it. The deals involve the purchase of hundreds of acres of land and the immediate utilization of the land in facilitating the handling of traffic. In the case of the Northern "Pacific it means the erection of a roundhouse and the establishment of eastern terminals for all freight trains, where the vrafflo will be made up for transportation west over the system and will be broken up for distribution locally and eastward.

The land involved is all on the Bast Side. The Northern Pacific is negotiating for acreage in both Southeast and Northeast Minneapolis, and the Soo line for acres in Northeast Minneapolis. The deals are being negotiated for the Northern Pacific by Lester B. Erwood of the Corser Investment company, and the Wisconsin Land company ox St. Paul, and for the Soo by the Wisconsin Land company.

For Big Freight Tarda. The Northern Pacific has apparently come to the same conclusion that the Great Northern reached in establishing its general freight yards in Bryn Mawr. It has chosen for its general yards a tract of 180 acres, which lies between the Belt line, the Como-Harriet car line and the Northern Pacific line, and is securing options on it. The site of the new yards and roundhouse is the best for the purpose in the city. It lies outside the railroad area by using this property the Northern Pacific trains can enter the city without crossing a network of rails, as is necessary where yards are now maintained, and thereby congestion and consequent annoying delay are to be avoided.

Expedition in handling freight will be increased to a maximum. This tract is in close proximity to the Twin City stockyards at New Brighton, and in case the feeding of sheep at this pointy the logical feeding grounds in the twin cities, is resumed, the Northern Pacific will have a cinch on the business, and it will be able to handle it in conjunction with, its new yards. -II In Northeast The Northern Pacific has just bought thirty acres of property in Northeast Minneapolis, which added to the fifty acres it already owned adjoining, will give space for a big grain yard. This land included the whole area, beginning at Twenty-fifth avenue and adjoining the Republic elevator, which lies in th etriangle between the Northern Pacific and Great Northern tracks, one angle touching at Shoreham, the Soo line headquarters. This tract comprises space for tracks enough to accommodate 2,000 cars, and will be used for grain inspection.

In connection with these purchases it is announced that the Northern Pacific has bought 208 of the heaviest mogul engines that have ever been sent west, and that bridges in the vicinity of Minneapolis are being strengthened to carry them, and that much double track work is being done. The Soo's Purchases. The Soo line operations are being conducted north of Hillside cemetery, where the Belt line connects with the old St. Paul I Duluth line, and the land is calculated to allow the Soo to straighten its main line, do away with the heavy grade out, which requires engines, and provide big yard distributing room. A heavy acreage is Involved in the proposition, which will' include several of the old-time farms of Hennepin county.

HARD WORK DONEfi FOR THE FARMER About $11000,000 Spent by Agricultural Department to Show Him How 7onxnal Spaoial Service. Washington, July 7.Secretary Wilson computes that it would require an investmen of $550,000,000 at 2 per cent Slepartmentt produce revenues enough to run the of agriculture for one year. This shows what is being done for the farmer. The income to the department including forest reserves and public printing is a little more than OOQ.000 a year. When the new meat inspection law, the work of exterminating the cattle fever tick and the gyspy and tailed moth, and the investigation of dry land farming have been put is operation the department will have payroll of over 6,000 persons.

About half of these are scientists trained along special lines. The average ry is less than $900 a year. Over 12,000,000 pieces of literature are circulated each year and thia amount will be greatly increased as. new lines of investigation are begun. One of the new lines provided for this year is grain inspection and this promises to be one of the largest of scientific labors BAN THRU STREETS WITH CLOTHES AFIRE Chicago, July 7.Almost oomsletely enveloped in flames, which were efaarted by the accidental explosion of a package of peroxide of soda which he carried in his pocket, William Schoea ran thru Jackson boulevard today, pursued by a large crowd, which sought to catch the man and extinguish the flames.
