Marehand. attorney for the Commission:
"Arc the pipe lines of me Standard oil

"Ys. .rtr; they arc for a distance cast

"How dd the Standard Oil Company

"! do not kiww. That Is a matter with
wMch I do not come in contact."
Standard Man at Rate Meeting.
Mr. Koontz was questioned about the
jaeetttiK of the truffle managers of differ
ent railroads in St. Louis in June; 1904,
at which the oil rato east from "Kansas
.point was raised from 10 cents to 17
cnts a hundrud pounds. He said that he
wa at that meeting. He did npt know !
w called it. "I was notiuea oy Jir.
Gorman, our Xroight traftJc. manager."
ivmttHued Mr. Koontz, "to represent the
Santa Fe at that meeting."
"DW he give you any instructions?"
Nwt at all."
Mr. 'Koontz said that Mr. Bogardus,
irafttc manager of the Standard Oil Com
pany, was at the meeting.

aokod.
"1 do not know."
"Was any record kopt of the proceed
ings of that meeting?"
"X. s4r."
Yields to Public .Opinion.
Mr. Koontz, cross-examined by Thomas
K. Marrow, attorney for the plaintiff, was
aakod:
"Are the oil freight rates established
by the Kansas .Legislature compensa
tor'? "1 do not so consider them."
"How do tho railroads look upon them?"
"As arbitrary, and established without
th railroads having been given a chance
t be heard. It was an effort on the part
f the Legislature to nMMt the scale in
force In Texas, with this difference, that
while the Kansas rate Is the sime as the
Texas rate upon crude and fuel oil, it is
much lower than the Texas rate upon all
th products of xtroleura, such as kerp
seae ad gasoline."
"Why lias there been no assault by the
railroads upon the Kansas rate?" Mr.
Koontz was asked.
"Largoly In deference to public senti
ment." ropUod the witness. "The officials
of the Santa Fe. and I think of other
Kansas roads, think that the Kansas
rates would have been contested long
before this, but in view of the agitation
and Inflamed condition of the public mind,
the policy of the railroads has been to
submit quietly to the unreasonable rates
foroed Kn them by the Legislature of
Kansas."
"There has been a great deal of agita
tion both in the press, at political meet
ings and in one way and another?"
'Yos. and because of this the railroads,
rimlded In submit for the nresent-"
Mr. Koontz said that the raising of the
rate at the Su Louis meeting was made
nesi.ry by tracle conditions, and the
action was not taken to harrass anyone
. or at the behest of any one interest, or
to benefit one interest to the detriment
of any other.
Cojkrcll Rebukes Standard Man.
G. IV. Mayer, manager of the Standard
at Kansas -ity. denied positively that ho
liad tsont Mr. "VVillboyt, formerly an agent
for the Standard at Topeka, "a check with
which to bribe railroad employes In order
to secure information regarding the ship
ment of ol by independent companies.
Later the witness received a r'dbukc
from Commissioner Cockrell, after repeat
edly declining to answer questions.
"It Is useless for the Standard OH Com
pany." said the Commissioner, "to at
tempt to conceal things here, because we
"art' .going to get at the bottom of Its do
ings, anyway."
A. H. Coffin, of Longtoiu Kan., a pump
rr and refinor of oil, testified that the
freight rate outside of Kansas prevented
him from shipping out ot the state.
This ended the testimony for the inde-jK-ndent
oil producers. The railway at

How Do You Like Our
New Dress?
At this time, when all civilization is turning its thoughts to new
attire,, and even Nature herself, having discarded the old, is donning
brighter, seasonable and more radiant garb, is it any wonder thnt Miss
Publicity comes fonvard with a demand for fresh gowning? And we
were disposed to listen to her plea. Two years ago, when wc bought
that beautiful "Florentine ' type to dress our store news in, it seemed
wc had selected the type effect par-excellence for store .publicity. But
styles change in types, as do fashions in dress for human-kind; and
like human-kind, grow worn, and old, and shabby. Then comes
passing; and new faces appear before the spotlight. Our advertising
chief has exercised the same taste, care and discrimination in selecting
new garb for our daily news bulletin that our store buyers have used
in choosing new Spring goods for our clientele. As they have chosen
the. newest, most approved, smartest, freshest and most authoritative
styles in quality merchandise, so he has picked the newest, most dis
inctive and clean-cut type face, in this beautiful Cheltenham Italic,
that exists in all the great family of types. Typical indeed of the
storeTs advertising policy clean-cut and pointed, individual and dis
tinctive HONEST ! How do you like it?
