THE MOltXING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1906. J GRIP OF STANDARD Commissioner J. R. Garfield Reports on Investigation of Oil Transportation. SECRET RATES CANCELED fehlppcrs Declare That for the First Time In Many Years They Arc Rapidly Obtaining Equality of Treatment by Railroads. WASHINGTON". Dec. . 9. The annual report of Commissioner of Corpora tions James R. Garfield, made public to day, devotes special attention to the Investigation of the transportation of oil and the operations of the Standard Oil Company. "During the investigation of the oil Industry," says the report, "it was dis covered that a very widespread system of railway discriminations existed in favor of the Standard Oil Company, af fecting a very large proportion of the country, and resulting substantially in giving the Standard Oil Company an overwhelming advantage in transport ing in almost all sections of the coun try; that the system had been in ex istence for a number of years, and that largely by virtue of it the Stand ard had been able to restrict or elimi nate competition throughout many parts of the country and thereafter reap the benefits of the monopoly. "These railway discriminations took various forms, often differing in their nature, and so skilfully concealed that their existence was very rarely sus pected, even by the active competitors of the Standard, although such compe titors knew that in general they were doing business at a disadvantageous figure." During the fiscal year indictments containing 81113 counts were returned by the various grand juries as the re sult of this investigation. "A most striking and important re sult immediately following the investi gation, and the railroads cancelled nearly all the secret rates, illegal or improper discriminations and in many cases the discriminations in open rates. The shippers of oil advise the bureau that for the first time in many years they are now rapidly obtaining equal ity of treatment from the transporta tion companies. Work on the other phases of the oil Industry and the in vestigations of the tobacco, steel, sugar, arid coal industries are well advanced. Special reports thereon will be made in due course. An inquiry into canal and water transportation has been started." Commissioner Garfield urges again the necessity for the establishment of Federal inspection and supervision of the greater industrial corporations en gaged in interstate and foreign com merce. He says it will not interfere with the power and authority of the states over the corporations created un der the state laws, and is not an inva sion of private rights, but merely will "restore individual responsibility and prevent the corporations from being the hiding planes of the irresponsible, dishonest or corrupt manager." Denial of the right to engage in in terstate commerce is suggested as the penalty for proved violation of the law. The report says that the work of the year strikingly demonstrates the value of efficient publicity for the cor rection of corporate abuses. TRADE "WITH SOUTH AMERICA England, Through Superior Facili ties, Is Dominant. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The results of the first year's efforts of the Government directly to promote American export trade in manufactured goods are por trayed in the interesting report of Major John M. Carson, chief of the Bureau of Manufactures of the Department of Com merce and Labor. The bureau has fur nished American manufacturers and mer chants with names of persons through out the world engaged in the sale of im ported merchandise. The report says in part : "The cotton piece goods trade of America is large and constantly growing. The exports of cotton clothes from Great Britain to China alone for 1905 were greater than those of the United States to all countries for that period. The entire value of shipments of cotton piece goods from the United States to South America for the last fiscal year was J3.244.E67, while the shipments of Great Britain for the six months ended June 30 last were valued at nearly $18,000,000, and for ten months ended October, 1906, nearly $32,000,000. "To Argentina alone Great Britain In the six months ended June, 1906, sold about $7,000,000 worth of cotton piece goods, or twice as much as the United States sold for the entire past fiscal year to all South America. The entire trade of the United States with South American countries for the fiscal year was $140, 422.S76 in imports and $75,159,781 in exports, a total of $215,600,000. The present com merce of all South America is placed ap proximately at $550,000,000 in imports and $750,000,000 in exports. "England dominates the commerce of South America, followed by Germany. Neglect of the South American markets by American manufacturers and mer chants, lack of direct steamship com munication and absence of banking facili ties are contributory causes to this con dition, and until these are overcome the trade of the United States with the coun tries of South America will continue to be relatively of slow growth." Of the annual products. of manufac tures, $750,000,000 worth was exportTj the last fiscal year. The value of farm prod uces exported that year, excluding those of the forests, the mines and the fisheries, was JS22.60O.O0O. Butter, cheese, lard, tal low, wheaten flour, corn and oatmeal and dried fruits, aggregating $146,000,000, are included in exports of manufactures. The report says an increase of nearly 30 per cent in the value of manufactured products in the last five years Is a force ful reminder of the urgent necessity for immediate and organized effort to find foreign markets for an output which al ready in many lines of Industry largely exceeds home demands and is in itself an urgent appeal for the fostering care of Congress. The report urges American business men to send to foreign fields personal rep resentatives especially trained for the service to remain permanently in the country and to establish and maintain agencies and branches. The agents should speak the language of the country to which they are assigned, should have thorough and practical knowledge of the Interests that they are to represent and should be clothed with full authority to act for their principals.

APPROPRIATION BILLS UP Democratic Representatives Will Ex press Views on President's Mes sage and There Will Be Reply From the Republican Side. WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. The National House of Representatives will give the greater part of its time during the pres ent week to the consideration of the legis lative, executive and judicial appropria tion bill, while the Senate will pay special attention to the Senate committee report on privileges and elections on the right of Senator Smoot. of Utah, to re tain his seat. In the House the appro priation bill will be taken up Monday im mediately after the close of the routine morning session, while in the Senate con sideration of the Smoot question will, be postponed until Tuesday. The Senate proceedings on that subject will be In terrupted after one day's discussion to give place to the Algeciras treaty, which is set for next Wednesday. Representative Tawney, chairman of the House committee on appropriations, is of the opinion that the Legislative bill will be voted upon before the close of the week. There are a number of Items In the bill which are calculated to pro- volee discussion and it is expected that some of the Democratic representatives will find occasion to express their views regarding some of the features of the President's message. If they should do so there will be a response from the Re publican side of the chamber. Among the items m tne 0111 wmcn will arouse debate may be mentioned those providing for an increase of the appro priation for the payment of clerk hire for members of the House and the increase of the salary of Public Printer Stilling There will also undoubtedly be many references to the subject of simplified spelling, which will be raised in connec tion with the provision prohibiting any deviation from standard orthography in congressional printing.

Chairman Grosvenor, of the committee on merchant marine, is still hopeful of securing a favorable re port on the ship subsidy bill in modified form this week, but it is not generally expected that further progress can be made with this measure befqre the Christmas holidays.- In the Senate Senator Burrows will at the end of the morning hour Tuesday open the debate on the Smoof question in a three hour's speech, advocating the adoption of the committee resolution de claring Smoot to be not entitled to his Useat. Burrows will make a comprehen sive analysis of the testimony in me case and will also cite many precedents in support of the resolution. He will be followed in the same tone Thursday by Senator Dubois .and later in the session Senator Smoot is expected to be heard in his own behalf. Senator Sutherland, his colleague, and Senators Foraker. Dillingham, Beveridge and Hopkins will also probably present vlwes in support Of Smoot's right to re tain his- office. There Is no hope that the question may be concluded during the present week or even before the holidays, but Senators Burrows and Dubois express a determination to keep it as well to the front as possible. Unless the, unforesen happens, the Alge ciras treaty will be ratified Wednesday after very brief consideration. The fact that the foreign relations committee has agreed upon a resolution declaring the purposes of the United- States not to be Involved In European complications by its acquiescence In the treaty has done much to remove opposition and it is even predicted that the resolution of ratifica tion will be adopted -after a few Senators shall have had opportunity briefly to ex plain their positions. Considerable time will probably be spent 'by the Senate In executive session In considering nominations to be reported from the various committees. Among these are a number of Cabinet officers. There is already talk of adjournment for the Christmas holidays and the pros pect is that it will occur about the 20th Instant and that the holiday will con tinue until January 7.

Octo ber 8, 1816, and educated at Oberlln College, from which he graduated in 3839. He became a minister of the Congregational Church and devoted all bis long life to educational and reformatory work. He was the first superintendent of the Chicago Refor-'' jnatory School. During the Civil "War he was su perintendent of the contraband camp at Washington City, residing there for 11 years in various positions. He was one of the founders of Howard Univer sity and connected with Its manage ment for some years. Later he re turned West and was settled at Rock-, ford. 111., then for ten years was pa tor of the Congregational Church at Bonhomme, S. D. In 1880 he founded the town of Mission Hill, In South Dakota, and was pastor of the . church there until two years ago, when he retired and came, to Oregon. at Des Moines, la., to Miss Elizabeth Toy Department, Fourth Floor BLUE ENAMELED TEA SETS Really handsome sets, at only 60c 31 PEWTER TEA SETS Special values, the set 20 to 45 c 3-Day Dress Goods Sp 7 Today, Tuesday and Wednesday we offer our entire line of dollar-fifty novelty plaid Dress Goods at $1.24 These smart fabrics are in the most beautiful designs, and the values are so unusual that no one should miss the great sale.

DUE TO BETTER SERVICE Postmaster-General Cortelyou Slakes Annual Keport Recommends Many Improvements and Additional Help. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The annual report of Postmaster-General Cortelyou shows receipts for the past year were $167,932,782.93, while ' expenditures were $178,449,778.59. The deficit is $10,516,995.94. The Postmaster-General discusses the deficit but says he is less concerned about that th&n about efficiency of the department. He attributes the failure to show a profit to the frrowins public de mand for increased postal facilities. The deficit is not charged to any one branch of the servicet The remarkable efficiency of some de partments is commented upon, particu- lariy of the registry service. For half a century all causes of loss, including burglary, theft and fire, have shown a loss of only three one-thousandths of 1 per cent. Mr. Cortelyou recommends that a deputy postmaster-general be appointed, who shall relieve the burden borne by the Postmaster-General and his four assist ants. The department has 320,000 persons in its employ and it is recommended that the deputy's position be made permanent and that he shall be general manager of the postal service. Greater accuracy in statistics is recom mended and Mr. Cortelyou asks that proj vision be made for expert statisticians and accountants. The congrestion of mall in New York City Is indicated and attention called to the new postofflce building, a site for which has been ac quired at the proposed terminal station of the Pennsylvania railroad. Many Frauds Suppressed. The report shows the credulity of the American people in a striking way. "Something for nothing" advertisements which have been suppressed during the two years ending June 30, outnumber similar fakes placed under the ban during the preceding four years. Almost every conceivable sort of fraud has been brought to light and stopped by the postal authorities, who have issued tiao orders forbidding the use of the mails for' these purposes during the two years. , The report states the time has arrived for the readjustment of the salaries paid employes of the department and in creases are asked for. Postoffice clerks, railway mail clerks, rural carriers and .'itv rnrriers are indicated as being under paid. Closer co-operation with fourth class postmasters and a general increase in salaries are recommended. In the summarizing of conditions in the railway mail- service, the Postmaster General reports A large growth. While 16 clerks and one mailwelgher were killed during the year and a large num bered injured, accidents to mallcars have been steadily decreasing since 1903. While the Postmaster-General hesitates to make recommendations because of insuf ficient data, he is convinced that the de partment pays the railways too mucb. for transporting mail cars. The increasing speed and improved mail service being given by foreign steamers, it is said, will absorb the. foreign mail traffic until American steamships equal the service offered for the transportation of mail to alien ports. Recommendations for increased compensation for mail carrying and an Improved foreign service are made. The report states that laws relating to second-class matter are poorly adapted to present conditions and a substantial revision is desirable. This class is in tended solely for bona fide newspapers and publications. There are still many abuses which are being weeded out. June 30. 190G, marked the close of 10 years' experience in the free delivery and collection of mails to and from residents of rural districts of the United States, & KING STREETS ECIALS DINNER SETS Decorated en'am- el ware ; oulv the set $1. 75 ENAMEL SETS For dinner or ,tea. ..t!'.e.. ..$2.25 only DOLL TRUNKS A splendid assortment, priced very modestly.

The service was an experiment until 1902, when it was formally adopted as an es tablished part of the postal system. Ap propriations made for the maintenance of rural delivery increased from $40,000 in 1&97 to $25,828,300 in 1906. A considerable saving has been effected by the discon tinuance of fourth-class postofflces and star routes that should have considera tion in connection with the estimated aggregate net cost of rural delivery. The recommendation Is made that small parcels may be carried by rural carriers, the privilege to be restricted in each case to the limits of the particular route on which the parcel originates, or, if found feasible, to all the routes emanating from a single postofflce. "In co-operation with the Department of Agriculture." says Mr. Cortelyou. "systematic efforts have been made during the year to secure the improve ment of the roads traversed by the rural carriers. Road officials in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Mis souri, New Jersey, New York and Wis consin have asked for and, by instruction of this department, have obtained infor mation from rural carriers as to the con dition of the roads, bridges and culverts updn rural routes, of what material the roads are composed, how frequently and in what manner they are worked, and what roadbullding material is available in each vicinity. Better Roads Needed. "Postmsters of rural delivery offices in the states named have been requested by the department to aid the state and local officials in all efforts to secure the bet terment of the' highways on which rural routes are maintained. 'It Is hoped," the report continues, "that similar movements may soon be extended to the prairie slates and to those sections of the country where swampy lowlands prevail, as well as to the mountainous regions through which the Appalachian Range extends." Postmaster-General Cortelyou says that during the year special attention has been given to the extension of the facili ties for the purchase oL-postage stamps and for extending the registery and money order services. The matter of pro viding books of stamps of other denomi nations than the two-cent issue is under advisement although there has been no general demand as yet for them. Provision has been made for obtaining stamps at railroad and ferry depots and other public places. Preliminary experi ments have been made with automatic stamp vending machines to answer this purpose, together with sub-stations. The recommendation is made that busi ness principles in the appointment of postmasters be substituted for political rewards.

In a Letter She Directs That All of Her Effects Are to Be Given to Roosevelt. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-I,u!u R. Grover. 55 years of use, and who describes herself as a magazine writer, was removed lo a hospital tonight sintering from . chloro form poisoning. Her condition was said to bo critical. There Is some doubt as to, the Identity of the woman, who for a month past ha I occupied an apartment on Lexington ave nue. 1 lie police believe her to be the "Mrs. Grover" who, just prior tn the Roosevelt-Longworth wedding, was asked to leave the White House, and who later I attempted to ee the President at Oyster Lay. A physician n)iio was summoned was making a hasty examination when the woman recovered her senses and said: "Let me alone: 1 wish to die. There Is no one to blame." When the police visited the house they found on a tuble in the parlor two letters, one sealed and the other open. The sealed letter read in part as follows: "Saturday night. December S To the Coroner or the first police officer who finds my body here: I beg of you to telephone to President Theodore Roose velt. He will have my boriy cremated. I have written to him: have made mv will, and all I have is his. He will have everything attended to just as I wish it to be right. He knows where to tind everything.' "Please do not let my poor kittens he frightened or annoyed. President Roose velt will take them as soon as he re ceives my letter mailed tonight to him. Please let them stay there until then." At the hospital a charge of attempted suicide was mude against Mrs. Graver. When afked.as to who should be notified in the event of her death she replied: "There Js only one person and that Is my relative. President Roosevelt." When she was asked if she had been ordered out of the While House and whs questioned at Oyster Bay by secret .ser vice agents, she replied: "No that is not so. I never was ar rested. I was not even there. As to my being In Washington at the time o the Roosevelt-Longworth wedding, that also is fjllse." Per Infants and Children.
