SELLS OIL TO STANDARD
I'rrsUIent of Manhattan Oil Com
pany Sliotls I.iglit on Scheme to
Hide Monopoly's Hand.
8clls Oil at Loss.
FIXDLAT, Oct. 11. Evidence was
brought out by the state today in the
trial of tho Standard Oil Company of
Ohio for conspiracy against trade, show
ing the ownernhlp of the Manhattan Oil
I 'ompany of Ohio to bo In the Federal
Industrial Development Company, Limit
ed, of London. Enpland, also that the
Manhattan, which buys and ships crude
oil, does not compete with the Standard,
hut does compete with Independent com
panies. Those farts were brought ' out In the
testimony of F. T. Cuthbprt, president of
1 lie Manhattan. A similar criminal suit
to tiiat. on trial is pending against his
company, and ho tcstili'-d under the order
of the ,-ourt, which rentiers him immune
from future criminal prosecution.
He Voles Nearly All Stock.
Tho wilness had been summoned and
ordered to hi-ins the hooks of his company
f-howins tile record of stockholders' meet
ings. The books were produced. The
record of the last annual meetinK showed
that Mr. Cuthhert ha,s been elected presi
dent by voting under power of attorney
34'.'."i shares nf stock owned by tho Eng
lish holding company; that this comprised
the entire stuck of the company with the
exception of 12 shares, of which one
each Is held by the president and direct
ors of tho company, who are all resi
dents of Lima. Ohio, tho home of the
company. .Mr. Cuthbert said he had been
president since and ho had held the
same power of attorney since that time,
lie knew nothing about the English com
pany, had never seen any one connected
with it, hut had corresponded with J. W.
Francis, its secretary, and W. W. Johns
ton, its manHKlng director, whose ad
dresses were Ixmdun. Ho remits money
to thcni.
Sells Oil to Standard.
K.v plainlnpr the nature of the business
Tone by i ho -Manhattan, Mr. Cuthbert
said that before he becanio its president
the company did a genera oil business,
that it owned producing properties, pipe
lines and a refinery at Galatea, O. It
had disposed of all hut Its pipe line, to
the Ohio OH Company, but ho did not
know whu w;cs now operating the reiinery
at Galatea. The Manhattan Company
now does exclusive a pipe linn business.
In dolnir it it huys the oil of the pro
ducer, transports it to storage stations
and sells it to ft. r. Trainer, purclia.siug
ai:cit for the Standard, who also buys
oil from Joseph Zetih. treasurer of the
Kuckeye Pipe Line Company.
In what is known as the South Lima
field, where the Manhattan and Buckeve
ripo Lines both buy oil. the price paid
to the producer is five cents a barrel
less than in tho North Lima field, where
what are iir.i riled as tho independent
companies make their purchases. Asked
to explain why this was, Mr. Cuthbert
taid:
Loses Money in Competition.
"To protect our pipe lines from the en
croachment of competitors."
"Who are your competitors?" asked
State's Attorney Phelps.
"The National Helming Company of
Kindlay and the Paragon Oil Company of
Toledo."
"Do you pay flvo cents a barrel .more
for oil in the North Lima field than you
receive for It from the Trainer Pur
chasing Agency?"
"Yes."
Mr. Cuthbert then admitted that the
prollts of his company in the North
Lima tield were very small, if any.
Tho State had Frank C. Shank, deputy
county auditor of Hancock County,
sworn. He identified several tax cer
tificates on file in the auditor's office,
showing Hint Theodore M. Tolles. of 26
Broadway, Xew York, was tax agent for
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, me
Buckeye Pipe Line and the Ohio Oil
Company. This testimony was objected
to by attorneys for the defense, but was
admitted by the court.
Evidence of Trust Admlted.
When the trial was resumed this morn
ing, counsel for defense resumed titeir
fight against the admission of the cer
tificate showing the charter of the Stan
dard Oil Company organization in New
Jersey. The certificate is a transcript
of the record of the Secretary of State's
offico of New Jersey, and shows that
in 3S!2 tho company increased its board
of directors from three to nine. This, it
was claimed hy tiio prosecution, was done
that Mr. Rockefeller and his nine col
leagues on the board of directors in the
Standard Oil Trust might be elected on
the Xew Jersey board.
After an hour of argument ' Judge
Banker overruled the objection 'of at
torneys for the defense and admitted as
evidence the New Jersey certificate
showing the increase In the directors in
the Standard Oil. Company of that state.
The prosecution next offered In evi
dence the amendments to the charter
of the New- Jersey Company, made June
M. lt:i: whereby its capital was in
creased to J110.OCO.OjO and authority given
it to purchase the stock of other corpor
ations, thus creating it a holding com
pany. OLD GIRARD SLAVE PEM
Jiscoery Made l.y Subway Workmen
at Depth of 1 00 Feet.
PHILADKLPHIA. Oct. n. gubway
workmen digging heneath Water street
for the new tunnel station, uncovered at
the depth of lii feet what is clearly an
old slave prison. The pe.n is composed of
narrow cells In three tiers with three-foot
corridors between heavy walls. The cells
run six to the tier. Lnch is large enough
to hold six men packed In closely. Heavy
iron bars covered the windows and In
each cell .wore manacle supports. Direct
ly above them is the house of Stephen
Glrard, an eccentric millionaire, who gave
Glrard College to Philadelphia, and whose
estate is now valued at JluO.OOO.OOO.
In tearing down the old Girard home
that the traction company bought, the
prison was discovered. The old house is
within half a square of the Delaware, and
fcecret access by water would be easy. Gi
rard believed in slavery, owned slaves and
many Louisiana sugar plantations.
