Vitiate Reaction.
CAPITAL SHOULD INVEST
Bond Activity Needed to 'Impart
Healthier Tone to Situation.
Frenchman Says Better Chance
Now Than for 20 Years.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4. Last week
saw continued perplexity over the
financial outlook reflected In the ac
tion of the securities market. The im
mediate improvement served to weigh
on sentiment and induce a heavy un
dertone to the speculation, although
there was a mixture of unfavorable
factors which acted as a restraint qn
positive weakness.
The most notable of the latter class
of incidents was the showing of the
United States Steel Corporation for
the quarter ending July 31. of record
net iT.lns of over $45,000,000. ex-
ctt-din;- most Bangulne preliminary
estimate.-. The falling: off in the un
filled ordure on hand from the preced
ing quarter was restricted to a little
over 400,000 tons, and left that Item
well in excess of the figure at the cor
responding period last year. As the
period covered was that subsequent to
the break in the securities market,
which was the herald of the reaction
to come, the report on its face might
be regarded as highly gratifying as an
exhibit of the moderate reaction to
which general industrial activity tiad
been subjected. The large sums made
available and set aside for the enlarge
ments and extensions In which the
corporation Is engaged secure its im
munity also from embarrassments of
the scanty available capital and gen
erous interest charges which have been
such a grave feature In the situation
of rich corporations for some time past.
All of this was practically overborne,

More Investment Needed.
This evidence of sustained mercan
tile activity and the large require
ments on banking resources thus ap
plied help to complicate the outlook in
the money market, from which relief Is
considered essential to insure any ef
fective revival of Investment demand
of capital. Contraction of business ac
tivity, lowering of prices, accumulation
of capital and awakened flow Into in
vestment is the sequence of events con
sidered necessary for the working out
of the situation. During the week Brit
ish consols sold at tie lowest level
since 1848, and the Incident is a strong
testimony to the existing prostration of
the Investment situation.
The immediate factor In the' fall In
consols . was the forced liquidation
growing out of the overextension on
the Egyptian Industrial ventures. For
eign money markets and the reports
of conditions of the great central banks
abroad gave warning of the coming
pressure and the restrictions of re
sources. It was only by a rise in
money rates In New York that the-
rrench demand for gold, which Inau
gurated an export movement trom New
York on Monday, was avoided. At the
higher interest rates here bankers ne
gotiated finance bills through the for
eign exchange market and placed the
proceeds In loans in New York.
Frenchman Is Optimistic.
Paul Leroy Beaulleu, the distin
guished French economist, has regis
tered his opinion that opportunity for
an advantageous return on capital is
now offered for the first time In over
JO years past. Signs of an Investment
demand for capital are looked for as
the true herald of coming restoration.
In New York thu bond department of
the Stock Exchange shows no stirring
- activity, and the bond dealers are not
nble to leport any Important absorp
tion for demand Investment.
An incident of the week, however,
was the sale by the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad to J. P. Morgan &
Co. of the subscribed portion of the
:6.000.000 of 6 per cent convertible
bonds which had been offered to stock
holders at par, the residue thus sold
being stated at about 115,000,000, and
the price to the bankers supposed to
be about 98. The transaction was re
garded as evidence of the continued
difficulty of securing capital, but the
fact that the attempt was saved from
failure was made the subject of pro
fessed gratification on the part of the
principals.
DAMAGES STANDARD OIL
(Continued from First Page.)
It Is conclusive evidence that further re
duction would have been made In the ab
sence of any general combination. More
over, a part of the reduction which took
Place from 1874 to 1878 under the Stand
ard regime was due to decrease In trans
portation costs and In railway rates, the
rate on illuminating oil from Pennsylvania
fields to New York In 1874 being 4 cents
per gallon, while during part of the year
1S79 It was not over 1 cent per gallon.
The construction of the seaboard pipe line
during this later period reduced the cost
of transportation still further, and It must
be remembered that the Standard was not
the originator of the idea of a seaboard
pipe line, but that the Tide Water Pips
Company, then wholly Independent, first
bull-, such a line.
Margin Is Kept l"p.
Furthermore, the reductions In margins
since 1879 have been much less than the
Standard has often claimed, and such as
have occurred hare been more than offset
by the Increased value of by-products. In
general, even the export prices, which
probably show tho situation most favorably
for the Standard, show a margin during
recent years not very much lower than
2S years ago. In 1879 that margin was
6.05 cents: in 1908 the margin waa 4.91
cents: and. as indicated above. In tbe last
few years domestic prices have risen
much more than the export prices.
in short. It may be said that the great
decrease In prices which took place In tha
porkI trom 1866 to 1874 was due to com
petitive conditions, while the much smaller
decrease that took place from 1874 to the
present -under the domination of the Stand
ard has been due to conditions over which
the Standard had no control, has been
more than offset by Increase in the value
of by-products, and cannot be placed in
any way to the credit of the Standard
OH Company.
The fact that the Etandard does nearly
nine-tenths of the petroleum business has
been demonstrated in a previous part of
this report. It now appears conclusively
that the result of this domination has been
ta Increase tha prices of oil paid by the
consumer, and correspondingly to increase
the profits received by the Standard. It
Is not true to say that only such a great
combination can furnish oil at the prices
which have been charged. Independent
competitors, though small and weak, do
survive and do business at prices which ars
deliberately reduced by the Standard
within the small competitive areas reached
by these Independents, and which are
much lower than the average prices re
ceived by the Standard throughout the
country.
Without Standard, Lower Prices.
The Standard can claim no credit for
such reduction In prices as has taken place
since the early history of the Industry. If
tha few and small Independent concerns
that now exist, harassed and restricted as
they are by the aggressive price-cutting
of the Standard, by its unfair competitive
methods, and until recently by a wide
spread system of railroad discrimination
heavily handicapping all of Its competitors,
nevertheless can and do sell oil profitably
for less than the Standard charges, It in
evitably follows that had the Industry fol
lowed ths normal course of development
and had. no great combination arisen to
exercise substantial control therein, prices
to the consumer would have been much
less than they actually are or have been.
The following facts are proven: The
Standard has not reduced margins during
the period In which it has been responsible
for' the prices of oil. During the last eight
years covered by this report (1898 to 1B05)
It has raised both prices and margins. Its
domination has not been acquired or main
tained by its superior efficiency, but rather
by unfair competition and by methods
economically and morally unjustifiable. The
Standard has superior efficiency in running
its own business: It has an equal efficiency
in destroying the business of competitors.
It keeps for Itself the profits of the first
and .adds to these the monopoly profits
secured by the second. Its profits are
far above the highest possible standard of
a reasonable commercial return, and have
been steadily increasing. Finally, the his
tory bt this great Industry is a history
Of the persistent use of the worBt Indus
trial methods, the exaction of exorbitant
prices from the consumer, and the secur
ing of excessive profits for the small group
of men who over a long series of years
have thus dominated the business.
ILLNESS IS VERY SERIOUS
RICHARD MANSFIELD MAY NOT
RETl'RN TO THE STAGE.
Trip to England Did Him No Good
"and He Has Returned to
Recuperate.
AMPERSAND. Lake Saranac, Aug. 4.
The continued illness of Richard Mans
field, the actor,' since his return from
Europe, has aroused some apprehension
as to its effect on his stage careersair.
Mansfield, accomoanied by his wife, his
brother,' Felix Mansfield, a maid, a valet
and a secretary, arrived here by special
train from Montreal last Sunday night
and are occupying a cottage, where Mr.
HjrAalH V. . u V. i ., mania Bprvpd. Ha re
fused absolutely to see anyone, but his
brother, Felix Mansneia, speamng tor
him, said:
England Did Not Help Him.
"Mr. Mansfield, as Is well known, suf
fered a severe nervous breakdown, due,'
without doubt, to overwork. He had
taken practically no vacation for several
years. The voyage to England in the
latter part of May rather upset him. He
rested quietly at his country place in
Sussex for nearly two months, living the
quiet life of a country gentleman, but
the weather was foggy, cold and rainy,
and it was thought best to return to this
country. He decided to go to" the Afllron
dacks for a rest of a week or two. while
his Summer residence at New London,
Conn., is being put in readiness for his
occupancy. Mr. Mansfield has been ad
vised to take a complete rest and to free
his mind entirely from business cares
and professional matters. He sees no
body but the members of his family. He
is convalescing slowly, but satisfactorily,
and we believe it is Just a question of
time when he will regain his old-time
strength and vigor."
Asked as to his brother's plans for the
future. Mansfield continued:
"If he has any plans for the future, he
Is ' keeping them to himself. Personally
I think he has but one plan, and that is
to regain his health at the earliest pos
sible time."
Under Nurse's Care.
At the time when Felix Mansfield was
giving this hopeful view of his brother's
condition, he was endeavoring to summon
physicians from Montreal and other
places to examine his brother. It Is
known that Mr. Mansfield passed several
bad nights, followed by some . Improve
ment. There is good reason to relieve
his condition is more serious than his
family are willing to admit. Dr. New
ton, of this place, was called In, and on
Thursday Dr. Lemeux, of Montreal, ar
rived and visited the patient. Neither
physician, however, would discuss . the
case. It is known that following Mr.
Mansfield's nervous prostration he has
suffered great pain from sciatic, rheuma
tism, and recently complained of severe
pains, caused probably by pleurisy. He
has lost flesh, his face is pale and his
eyes show the severe ordeal he has been
undergoing. A trained nurse is now In
attendance upon him, having been callefl
from New York ThursHay. For the last
few days Mr. Mansfield has taken dally
drives In an easy vehicle.

HAYWOOD'S HAPPY
HOME-COMING
Thousands Meet Him at the
Union Station in
Denver.'
GREETED BY CHEERING
Enthusiastic Crowd Accompanies
Him to Hotel Where He Says
Moment Is Happiest One
in His Life.
DENVER. Aug. 4. Celebration of the
return home of William D. Haywood,
secretary-treasurer of" the Western Fed
eration of Miners, who was acquitted at
Richard Mansfield, the Actor, Still
Suffering From Nervous Prostra
tion. Boise, Idaho, on the charge of conspir
ing to murder ex-Governor Steunenberg,
was considerably curtailed tonight by
reason of the lateness of the hour at
which he arrived.
Plans for a great gathering of people
at the Union Station to be followed by a
monster open-air meeting were abandoned
yesterday when it became known that Mr.
Haywood postponed his departure from
Salt Lake City a day on account of the
condition of John H. Murphy, general
counsel to the Federation, who was re
ported dying. Instead, a committee of
100 labor unionists, representing practical
ly all the labor organizations of the city,
was selected to welcome Haywood In the
name of the unions and on next Thursday
a general meeting of labor unions will be
held to formulate plans for a big meeting
in the future. -
Large Crowd Gathers.
Tonight several thousand persons
gathered outside the main entrance to
Union Station while within the gates,
were 100 or more persons Including news
papermen, committeemen, and employes
of the station. As the Denver & Rio
Grande train bringing the Haywood party
rolled into the depot, those 4nslde the
gates quietly walked toward the train and
along the side of the cars until the one
occupied by Haywood and his friends was
reached. A number who personally knew
Haywood entered the car and were cor
dially welcomed by him. Across the aisle
from the seat in which Haywood was
sitting lay his Invalid wife. Immediately
next to Haywood in a section was At
torney Murphy reclining upon a bed
softened by pillows. Soon someone rec
ognized Murphy and called him by name.
Immediately he was the center of interest
as well as Haywood. Ke arose in his bed
and shook hands with all around him.
Haywood Takes Care of His AVlfe.
During the brief exchange of felici
tations in the car Haywood was ever
watchful of his invalid wife, who con
stantly kept her gaze set upon him
and smiled occasionally In satisfaction
for the glad welcome her husband was
receiving. When all was ready Hay
wood gathered hla wife in his arms and
left the car, followed by Acting Sec
retary Kirwan, of the Federation, who
met the party at Colorado Springs, and
others. Mrs. Haywood was placed in
an invalid chair and then all started
toward the gates leading out of the
station. Two women-carrying a banner
bearing on one side the inscription:
"Fellow worker, welcome home in
jury to one is injury to all," and on the
reverse aide a picture- of Haywood
above an emblem of tho Industrial
Workers of the World, preceded the
party. A number of men wearing the
red badge of the Socialists followed
immediately afterward.
Greeted With Cheers.
As the crowd caught sight of Hay
wood it burst Into cheers. A rush for
the gates waa made and the police were
compelled to use force so that the gate
could be opened. As Haywood walked
up the file hundreds of hands were out
stretched toward him, but his solici
tude for his wife caused him to resist
the evident desire to grasp the many
hundreds extended to him. The con
tinued cheering that greeted him kept
his face wreathed in smiles and when
he finally reached his carriage and saw
his wife safely seated Inside, he aban
doned himself to the spirit of the occa
sion, and, standing upon the rear seat
of the open carriage, repeatedly
shouted cheer after cheer as he waved
his hat.
It was several minutes before the
streets could be cleared, and when an
opening was broken through the crowd
the horses pulling Haywood's carriage
started up Seventeenth street at a
brisk trot. The party arrived at the
Albany hotel some minutes before the
crowd reached there-and Haywood had
had time to make his wife comfortable
In the hotel before the people began to
gather.
Makes Speech In Hotel.
Responding to demands for a speech
Haywood said that he would "tell about
it later," and asked to be allowed to
retire for the night. During this brief
talk Haywood referred to what ha said
was the prediction the mlneowners said
that he would come back to Colorado
in a pine box. "I am very much alive,
you see," he said, and continued:
"This great reception is the hap
piest moment of my life. My cup of
happiness would be complete if Moyer
and Pettibone were by my side. One
thing I am convinced of and which the
last 18 months has definitely taught
me, is hat if unions stand together,
you cannot break them."

FAIRBANKS' ADVERTISING MAN
A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYE.
George B. Lockwood Receives $4000
a Year as the Vice-President's
Private Secretanr.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. (Special.) The
politicians are finding something new
every few days in the political machina
tions of Charles Warren Fairbanks to sup
ply Summer diversion. The latest devel
opment concerns the placing of the Fair
banks press bureau on the Government
payroll. Help was afforded the scheme by
the action of the last Congress in raising,
the salary of the Vice-President's private
secretary from $2200 to $4000 a year. At
the latter figure the Vice-President haa
secured the services of George B. Lock
wood, of Indiana, who was formerly sec
retary to Governor Durbin and an anti
Fairbanks man of the strongest type.
Now he is busy spreading the Fairbanks
propaganda to the full extent of his abili
ties. The strange part of the story is that
Vice-President Fairbanks evidently sought
to keep it under cover that Lockwood was
on his staff. It only leaked out accident
ally when some curious person found Mr.
Lockwood's name on- the Treasury pay
roll, where it had been since last Spring.
SECOND HEARING IS BEGUN
Federal Courts to Continue Standard
Investigation at Once.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4. The preparations
for the second Federal investigations of
the relations between the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana and the Chicago &
Alton Railroad, ordered by Judge Land is
of the United States District Court on
Saturday, will begin tomorrow. The call
for the special grand jury' will be Issued
and United States District Attorney
Sims will go over all the evidence ' pre
sented at the recent trial of the Standard
Oil Company, which resulted In convic
tion and a tine of $29,240,000, and will se
lect the witnesses to be subpoenaed.
It developed today that the reason for
haste in this investigation is that the
statute of limitation is running against
the government, and because of it the
Chicago & Alton will escape re-indictment
on between 80 and 100 counts of the
1,462 on which the Standard Oil Com
pany was convicted. '
This statute of limitations bars prose
cution on offenses committed more than
three years before Indictment. Many
of the shipments on which the Standard
Oil Company was convicted of accepting
rebates occurred between September,
1903, and August, 1904. When the grand
Jury convenes on August 14. a few days
will suffice to present the evidence
against the Alton.
The jury will consider Infractions
of the t;..iins Law occurring from
August, 1904, until March. 1905.
