SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— OIL CASE TAKEN T0 THE HIGHEST COURT Attorney General Asks for Writ of Gertiorari, ‘Washington, Nov. 2 lL—Attorney General Bonaparte has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the supreme court of the United States urging that court to issue a writ of certiorari to the circuit court of appeals for the Seventh circuit to review the judg- ment of that court reversing the rul- ings of Judge Landis in the case in which the Standard Oil company was fined $29,240,000 on the charge of vio- lating the antitrust law. The attor- rey general takes the position that the court of appeals was without . Jjurisdiction when it reversed Judge Landis’ decision. “Whether,” says the petition in urg- ing the granting of the writ, “the gov- ernment is or is not right in its con- tentions we respectfully but very earnestly urge that the court should issue the writ. The case is of the first consequence. The principles de- cided control the entire meaning and purpose of the law and impair the underlying policy of congress. If, for example, it is necessary that the gov- ernment should prove actual kuowl- edge by the shipper of the lawful rate the law will be altogether de- prived of effect against the very ship- pers who violate it. In the view of the government it is extremely im- portant that the la'w should be deter- mined and expounded now, at this stege of the prescut case, by this court.” GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS Bald Headed People May Get a New Chance in Life. In these days when youth is the moving factor in business; when a ‘man makes his mark at 35 and is ready to retire at 45; when business houses pension the man we call ““middle aged” rather than allow his lagging influence to in- trude upon the commercial rush, a bald head is almost fatal to any man’s hopes. The following must therefore prove interesting to people who are losing their hair or who are bald. Resorcin is one of the latest and most effective germ killers discovered by science, and in connection with Beta Napthol, which is both germicidal and anti- septic, a combination is formed which destroys the germs which rob the hair of its nutriment, and also creates a clean and healthy condition of the scalp, which pre- vents the development of new germs, Pilocarpin is a well known agent for restoring the hair to its natural color, where theloss of color has been due to a disease of the scalp. Yet itisnot a coloring matter or dye. This combination of curatives mixed with alcohol as a stimulant perfects the most effective remeby for hair and scalp troubles. The famous Rexall ‘93" Hair Tonic is chiefly composed of Resorin, Beta Napthol and Pilo- carcin. Itmakes the scalp healthy and nourishes the hair, stimulates te follicles, Where the head is already bare, it enters the follicels revitalizes the roots, supplies nourishmert and stimulates anew growth. We want you to try a few bottles of Rexall ¢93” Hair tonic, on our personal guarantee that the trial will not cost you a penny if it does not give you absolute satisfaction. That’s proof of our faith in this remedy and it should indisputably demonstrate that we know what we are talking about when we say that Rexalls “93” Hair tonic will grow hair on bald heads, except of course, where baldness has been of such long duration that the roots of the hair are entirely dead, the follicles closed and grown over, and the scalp is glazed. Remember, we are basing our statements upon what has already been accomplished by the use of Rexall *93” Hair Tonic, and we have the right to assume that what it has done to hundreds of others it will do for you. In any event you cannot lose anything by giving it a trialon our liberal guar- antee. Twosizes, 50 ctsand $100. Barker’s Drug Store. 2 Headaches. Biliousness. Constipation. Ayer’s Pills.

The recent lawlessness in several of them Has brought the mat- ter to a head and we shall continue the raids, whether the courts convict or acnuit, antil we harrass the club owners. into closing their places.” All police courts in ‘the city were crowded and professional bomdsmen -| reaped 2 harvest.

ABOUT READY TO UNLOAD While the Men Are Believed to Have Secured Little if Any Money- They Had Completed Arrangements for 8pringing a Deal That Would Have Torn Things Wide Open in Finan- cial Circles. Pittsburg, ‘Nov. 2 .—The police au- thorities here have made two other arrests in the case of J. Montefiore Meyers, said to be from Australia, who was taken into custody here last Saturday and held for the New York police on an alleged charge of grand larceny. Shortly after Meyers left this city in charge of a detective for New York the local police arrested W. A. Fitzpatrick in a bank building where he was talking over an oil deal Wwith a business man. John A. Fitz- patrick, a brother, was also arrested as he stepped from a train in this city. The Fitzpatrick brothers are said to be from Ionia, N. C. and are alleged to be confederates of Meyers. The superintendent of police of this clty arrested the Fitzpatricks on in- formation furnished by Richard Brins- ley Sheridan, a wealthy coal operator of Wilkesbarre, Pa., and John A. Gar- man of the same place, chief counsel for Colonel J. M. Guffey, the million- aire oil operator of Pittsburg. ~ According to the police T. N. Barns- dall, alsc a millionaire. oil operator of this city, had been interested in the several deals by Meyers. The case has developed into a sen- sation here. Meyers and the Fitzpat- ricks are alleged to have been pro- moting a deal to buy options on coal and oil lands. Meyers, it is said, rep- resented that he controlled several million dollars of the Rothschilds. Meyers, who has an engaging person- ality, had little trouble in interesting Mr. Sheridan, Colonel Guffey and Mr. Barnsdall. Just how many more wealthy Pittsburgers were interested the police refused to say at this time. Superintendent McQuaide said: Were About Ready to Unload. “From all I can learn Meyers and his confederates secured very little, if any, money, but they were just about ready to unload a swindle that would have torn things wide open in finan- cial circles. I am not at liberty now to divulge any names in connection with the affair, but may do so in a day or two.” Referring to Meyers and his deal Mr. Sheridan said: “Meyers came to see me in Wilkes- barre some time ago. I have not seen John A. Fitzpatrick in connection with this transaction, but have known him for some years, and a letter from him introduced Meyers to me. Meyers said that he represented the Rothschilds and thought Wilkesbarre would be an excellent -place to build factories and mills on account of its contiguity to the fuel fields. “He suggested that before starting to build it would be a good idea to get options on coal lands to insure a fuel supply. He insisted that local capital support the project, as some favors might be wanted from the leg- islature. “I will confess that Meyers won my complete confidence, which was strengthened when I learned. that he had interested Colonel Guffey. I in- troduced him to a number of men who I thought might be of service to the project and spent considerable money in boosting the thing. “To make the thing look still better Meyers brought Colonel Guffey to ‘Wilkesbarre. I do not know what caused it, but Garman and myself grew suspicious and, as Meyers said he was from New York, we asked the police there about him. It was then his record in that city was uncovered and his arrest on a charge of grand larceny followed.” BRYAN MAY SECURE ONE Electoral Vote of Missouri Likely to Be Divided. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 2. .—A pos- sibility that the electoral vote of Mis- souri may be divided between Taft and Bryan arose when it was discov- ered that one Bryan elector received more than the lowest Taft elector. ‘Whether Bryan will be given this vote in the electoral college depends upon a decision which Governor Folk now has under advisement. Brannock, Bryan elector for the Six- teenth congressional district, failed to defeat Diffendoffer, Taft elector for the same district, but he received 232 more votes than did Kiel, the second Taft elector at large. The guestion that has arisen is whether the elec- A8 ate cligden by districts, MAY MEET IN JANUARY International Congress on the Balkan Situation. Rome, Nov. 2.L—M.
