Anthony, who was appointed by the Supreme Court of Mis- souri to take testimony and make a re port in the case instituted by Attorney General Hadley against the Oil Trust two years ago, rendered his report, He says that the testimony shows plainly that the standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the Waters-Pierce Oil Company and the Republic Oil Company are in a trust, and he reccommends a decree of ouster against the Standard and the Re- public and the forfeiture of the charter of the Waters-Plerce. Little doubt is entertained that the Supreme Court will affirm the report of its Commissioner. | bathe: NO. 6 | Centre THE CENTRE DEMOORAT P' "LEFONTE, PA, MAY ! WHO WAS THE LIAR?

Abrabam Rewf, the famous grafter of SanFrancisco, who for years was ens gaged in plundering his city to the ex. tent of millions, maintained a defiant attitude when accused of betraying his people. He put up a bold front watil the positive proofs confronted him in the courts.
