that their discriminations In favor of the
Standard oil tmst. by the devices of un

Its property had leached the value of
many millions. Tills great property was
held and this Immense business lendncted
by a large number of corporations holding
diallers fiein various states. Seme et
these wero eli.uters secured for tlie express
purposes of the combination; ethers wero
i bailers of independent and competing
companies.
The Standard managers owned all the
stock in many of them, in ethers a major
ity el tlie shaies j sometimes a bare major
ity, merely for contiel, and in several only
a small poi cent., either as tlie beginning
et acquisition or assutllclent for thelr pur
poses. Some of this last mentioned Meck
was held by tei lain members as tiustees
rei all, and It is possible Hint in tills simple
business device lay tlie suggestion of it
gieat uieemeut.
It was clearly impossible, or If possible,
cle.uly Inexpedient, te mass all its busi
ness, piopenies, fianclilses and peweis in
a slngle corporation chartered and organ ergan organ
ized uiulei the laws of any ene state. The
question presented was 'te develop fiein
many corporations and interests in eorpo eerpo eorpe
ratloiisacential rower, which, maintaining
tlie Iree piny legally and iiidu'trliillybelong iiidu'trliillybeleng
ing te tliuiii lespccthely, shuuld bring and

and unity. Given a certain number of
persons holding all the bteck of teurteen
coiperatlons, and nlse, directly or thieugii
trustees, holding Imge itmeunts of stock in
twenty-six ether eorpertlons formed undei

branches of business, icqufred a jltu
for their 01 panic unification under a single
lu riiiunleus.ind all-paw eiful management.
I have ulicmly said tiiat, in acquiring
stock in m my et these corporations, the title
was taken in the names of trustee, who
held it let tlicUcuelltef tlieied puicimscrs.

Ifii jtart et tlie piepcity oftlie cuinhiu.t cuinhiu.t

This idea seized upon the development

amplest legal knowledge and skill and

of which weie at the command oftlie Stan

Gencral Master Workman 1'ewderly, of
the JCuights of Laber, has written a scath
ing criticism of Austin Cerbin's course in
piesctibiug niembcrs of labor organiza
tions tiem obtaining employment at the
Heading works. Mr. Pouderly doclares
that Moilie Magulreism was tlie'Iegitlmate
ellsprlng of the Insubordination te consti
tutional authority which the Heading com
pany pursued In'the past and continues te
pursue te-day.1 Ie says tholteadingeoiiipany
is an outlaw, and in dofiaiice of constitu
tional law continues te de two kinds of
business when the constitution of Penn
sylvania ovpressly forbids it. Mr. ter
bin gees still turtlier, continues Mr. 1'ow 1'ew 1'ow
derly : " IIe buys up tlie Reading iron
works, and then lolls the men that he will
have no mero organization among work
men. This is ene of the best acts of Mr.
Ceibin'slire. If he will only fellow it up
by telling the men that they will have te
vete the ticket he totes in future, go te the
chinch he prescribes and suecze when he
takes sntill he w 111 be doing a great service

Mr. Pewdeily nukes an e.une-t plea te
the Knights ot'Laber te take up this ques

The crime which Meser committed was
due te a mistake ninde by mountain etllcers
in arresting n toy ef13 for n deed done bv
n boy eri. The putt vv hlcli this boy llutlil
McCoy took In tlie feud has never been
told lu print.
Rudd McCoy was I) years old at the time,
and Ids home was en the lllackberrv
branch of Pend crock, In Plke cettntv,
Kentucky. It ought te be snid new that
this is a Inte story. Rudd had eight brothers
nutl six sisters, all of whom were oltler
than he, some of them being mat rled nnd
having children quite ns old ns thelr Uncle
Iluild.
Rcsides these brother and sisters, Rudd
had many cousins living in Pike county.

n family ns large as tlie McCevs. whose
naine xas Hatfield. Andersen Hatfield
was the name of the fattier and Randelph
McCoy was the father of Rudd. Am they
say down there, tlie two families were at
war, and that means that whenever three
or four McCoys caught n Hatfield out by
himself, they would Itlde lu the brush en
the mountain side and sheet him In the
back, whlle the Hntlields vv ere Jtwt as anx

in their way ofdelng it.
In lfcAJ, the year tiiat Rudd wasOyeais
old, but oue man had been actually killed
lu this way. His name was Rill Stayteu,
nnd he was ene of tlie cousins of thu'l bit
fields. He had been waylaid by two of
Rudd's cousins nnd shot because he had
ciucotlirewn n stoue at Rudd's lather and
knocked him down, nnd thusopenlv nr
rayed himself with the llatfields. t.lttle
Rudd knew nil nbeut the lend fiein the
time It began, when ills father sued ene of
tlie llatllclds for the value of two long

that vvoiried him most was Hint his father
said he vv as tee young yet te learn te sheet

The low imit or Whltochnpel, culled Old
Cnstle street, hi laindeii, Is the secne of
another atrocious murder of tlm tee well
known Wlilteehapcl type. A large mass
of clotted bleed shows traces of ft desiorate
struggle and bears testimony Hint Jack the
Ripper has again commenced his deadly
work or cutting up the bodies of unfortu
nate women who have lest character nnd
tnkeu te the streets for n living.
Four months nge the extrn Terce or
policemen nnd detectives who had been
jiilt en duty siwclally te trap tlie assassin
were taken nvvav. as It was lhettaht no
mom such terrliile outrages would be com
mitted, but It seems ns though the cruel
hearted beast was still living. The scene
oftlie crinie is the same restricted area, anil
oncengnlu the murderer is able te Mileld
himself from discovery se as te leave no
trace. At 1:30 te-tlny a constable, walking
lclsuiely down tlie beat, noticed the form
of a w emnii lying lu the shadow or iv door deor doer

he was horrified te discover tint siie wns
dead. The bleed was (lowing from a wound
lu the threat, and the body was lu a peel
of bleed which was miming fiein a pish In
the stomach, evidently iulllctisl with a
slurp knlle or u razor. The nlnim was
raised, and a eievvtl of detectives Instantly
came te tint spot. The murdered woman
seemed about 10 years of age and belonged
te the depniv ed class. Ne urtests.
Lo.viie.v, July 17. The wemnn whose
body was found in Castle nlley in tlie
Whltochnpel district last night was a
mlddle-ageil prostitute. Her threat hud
been cut te llie spine. When tlie body
was found It wns lv lug en its back. Tlie
clothing had been thrown up,o.xelug the
abdeiiinu, which had been gashed lu u
horrible manner in .several places, though
the Intestines were net exposed. Ne part
of the hotly was missing. Warm bleed
was (lowing from tlie wounds when the
body was discovered.
A policeman who with a watchman of an
adjacent warchouse must have been within
a fevv yards of the spot vvhere the
murder took place when II was com

have been placed at fixed jmiIhIh In Whito White

An old clay pipe, smeared witli bleed,
