BY FREDERIC WILL WILE. ‘ Senator James A. Reed of Missourl 15 spending the long congressional recess in assembling evidence for Prosecution of the Standard Oil Com- -vany in one of the most gigantic damage cases on record. He repre- sents California oil interests known #8 the Dubbs group, which charges the Standard with infringement of its Process for converting crude oil into gasoline. The Dubbs complainants seek an ac- counting and corresponding indemni- ties. If the litigation results in their favor, the Standard Oil Company will be called upon to indemnify the Dubbs &roup to the extent of tens of mil- Jions of dollars. Practically all the Zasoline the varlous Standard cor- porations have produced is said to come within the sphere of the in- fringement alleged by Senator Reed's clients. Started in Missouri Court. The case was instituted several Weeks ago in the southern district of | the federal court in Missourl, before Judge Arba S. Van Valkenburgh at Kansas City. Not the least interest- ing feature of the proceedings is that they find Senator Reed faced as opposing counsel by his lately de- feated antagonist in the Missouri senatorfal election, R. R. Brewster. Mr. Brewster hvads the array of lawyers who are fightilg the In- fringement case on behalf of the Standard Oil Company. Despite their acrimonious campalgn in 1922, Reed and Brewster, who are both members of the Kansas City bar, are friends and are now Jjointlyand bloodlessly conducting deposition-taking through- ‘out the country. {000 pounds of candy, was shiped re- To that end Judge Van Valken- burgh appointed Holmes Hall, a lawyer of Sedalia, Mo., to serve as| a special master in chancery.

The case comes home to myriads of auto- nlobile owners who use Standard gasoline.

W, Proctor, of the seventh precinct station, and an unidentified negro near the Vir- ginia end of the Aqueduct bridge early today resulted in the latter being wounded several times. He is alleged to have escaped while the policeman was calling the patrol, however. According to Proctor his suspicions were aroused a few minutes before 3 o'clock, when the negro appeared from the direction of Washington carrying a | bundle.
