According to his evidence Lane was for about 14 months, in 1901 and 190 employed by the Standard Oil Com- pany for the express purpose of driv- ing all the independent oil in a dozen or more of the principa: cities and towns of Northern Ohio out of business. He said he was em- ployed by G. E. Lyons, of the Cleve- land office of the Standard Oil Com- bany, to go to designated places ana use every means, fair or foul, to force independents to quit.

In Youngstown a man named William H. Vahey was en- countered, and despite everything we | could do he held nis trade. We gave oil away by the barrel and tank load, but it did no good. Vahey’s custom- ers threw it out.” Miss Elizabeth Protzman, a steno- grapher and bookkeeper in the Dayton (0.) office of the Standard, testified that information concerning the oil shipment of rivals was brought into the office by draymen and that she made careful reccrd of them and gave | them to her superior. W. J. Cram, who was engaged in the oil business at Marietta from 1885 to 1897, testified that the Standard Company for years used coercive methods, and the Standard was so persistent in its efforts that his com- pany was finally compelled to sell out to the Galena Oil Company, a Stand- ard branch, at a lower figure than might otherwise have been obtained. Many other witnesses gave similar testimony. CHURCHES UNITED. Cumberland Presbyterians Absorbed by Presbyterians—Only Two Dissenting Votes.

Roberts, and the Rev. Dr. James H. Roberts of Washington, Pa., moved the adoption of the report. Immediately follow- ing the vote the commissioners sang, “Praise God from Whom All Bless- ings® Flow” and ‘Blest Be the Tie That Binds.” Moderator Hunter Corbett then stated: “l. do" sol- emnly declare and here solmenly an- | nounce the basis of reunion and union | is now in full force and effect and the | Cumberland Presbyterian ica as one church.” . Heary applause followed the con- summation of the overtures which have been in negotiation for several years.

BIG INCREASE IN TRADE Including Exports, Over Previous 10 Months Periods. The foreign commerce of the United States for April aggregated $251,000,- 000, of which $107,000,000 was in im- ports and $144,000,000 in exports. These figures are given in a bulletin issued by the bureau of statistics, which says that only in one previous April in the history of our export trade, has the total of imports and exports reached as much as $200,- 000,000. For the 10 months of the fiscal year, 1906, ended with April, the im- ports were $1,021,000,000 and exports | imports | $1,480,000,000. The total and total exports in 1906, says the bulletin, are in each case likely to be greater than those of any earlier year, and several monthly records already have been broken. No 10-month period of any earlier year, the bulletin says, ever touched the $1.0.0,000 line in imports or reached the $1,300,000 line in exports.

A message from Tangier, May 22 says: *Owing to an accident to her engines the small steamship Manolita, flying the American flag, had to put into Pescadores bay, on the Riffian coast of Morocco to land passengers and make repairs. A large number of Riffians appeared on the beach, swam out to the Manolita, boarded her, seized a small boat, carried off three native passengers and all they could lay their hands upon. The Manolita, after some alterca- tion between her crew and the pirates, escaped and arrived at Penon de la Gomera, where the outrage was re- ported to the Spanish authorities. Angera tribesmen, after seizing a British sailing vessel near Ceuta, kidnaped three of the crew whose nationality is unknown. These vessels arriving on the Riffian and Angera coasts gives ground for the belief that the business they car- ried on was not bona fide. AGAINST EIGHT-HOUR DAY Agent of Carnegie Steel Co.

Further Revelations Made. Further revelations’ concerning stockholdings in soft coal mining companies by officials of the. Penn- sylvania railroad were made when the interstate commerce commission resumed its investigation into the al- leged discrimination by railroads in the distribution of cars. Three high officials of the railroad, First Vice President Green, ‘Third Vice President Samuel Rea and Will- iam A. Patton, assistant to the presi- dent, at Philadelphia, were the im- portant witnesses of the day. Mr. Patton was under examination the greater part of the morning and was an unwilling witness. The persistent questioning of At- torney Glasgow. for the commission, however, brought out the fact that Mr. Patton had acquired stock, the par value of which is $307,000, in various coal companies without cost to himself. He explained, however, that he had signed notes obligating himself for his share of the losses and declared his belief that it was proper for him to accept the stock under those conditions. Vice President Green said that 20 or 30 years ago it was not considered improper for an official of the railroad to own coal company stock, but that conditions had changed and such in the same light as formerly. Mr. Green said he did not own a dollar's worth of coal company stock. DEATH OF HENDRIK IBSEN Was Great Poet and Dramatist of Norway.
