SUIT TO OUST
BIG OIL TRUST
St. Paul, Mfnn. t D*c. 20.—Suit was
i-egun by Attorney General Young to
day to oust ‘ the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana from the state, on the
Rround of discrimination. It is alleged
that because of competition in Mlnne-
h polls and St! Paul, oil is sold by the
Standard at a lower fculoe in those
• itles than in sections of the state
where the company has no rivals.
As busy a scene as may be witnessed any*
where these dsys is the working of the ex*
press office at She Terminal Station, where
the Southern Express Company playn Santa

Increased force of drivers, clerks, porters,

‘•We hi

Thorough Overhauling
System May End Soft
Snaps.
Waahlngton, Dei. 20.—Interesting de-
velopments regarding the navy depart
ment are scheduled in congress after
the holidays. Amcmg some of the mem
bers of the naval affairs committee
there is talk of airing the extrava
gances and deficiencies of the depart
ment, and even of making an urgent ef
fort' to accomplish a thorough over
hauling.
The members aie Impressed with the
utter absence of anything businesslike
In the handling of navy affairs, and
are convinced that useless and Inde
fensible extravagance prevails, not
alone as to the n$ivy yards, but as to
the management ■ of a great many
things under the department's control.
A thorough overhauling of the sys
tem now in force would, undoubtedly,
result In shipping - to sea many of
ficers who enjoy easy berths on shore,
mainly In Washington. In the way of
any real reform In this line, the social
“pull" of the high navy officers and
their families would stand, and thli Is
a factor which will have to be reckoned
with.
