the church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. Holy relics were
exposed and thousands attended the

Oil Company of New Jersey owns
and controls all of the stock of these
four companies except an amount
necessary to maintain a directorate
and a corporate existence in Ohio. It
is further alleged that the control of
these companies is exercised in re-
straint of trade and in contravention
of the anti-trusts laws of the State.
The petitions ask the court to oust
the four companies from their assum-
ed rights to permit their stock to be
controiled by the Standard Oil Com-
pany of New Jersey and that they
be prevented from continuing their
occupations as auxiliaries of the
so-called oil trust, and for such other
relief as may be deemed proper under
the laws of Ohio.
The suits are the outgrowth of the
trial of the case against the Standard
Qil Company at Findlay, during which
the facts alleged against the subsid-
iary companies were brought out.
