HOW THE STANDARD OIL DOES IT.

A PLOT by which the Standard Oil Company secured the business secrets of a competing company was revealed in court to-day. Harry McKinley and his wife, employees of the Royal Oil Company, filed affidavits stating they had furnished Windfield S. Merritt, an employee of the Standard Oil Company, a daily statement of the shipments of the Royal, for which they were paid liberally. Manager Ells, of the Royal, declared the Standard Company also buys information from the railroad employees.—Chicago Record-Herald.
