Rogers from business, once more taken

OUT
This Is the question that Wall
Street waa debating: today, and; many
believed that the old pilot of the great
trust Is again In charge.
It Is understood that John D. Rocke
feller, Sr., has vlalted his offices on
the fourteenth floor of the Standard
OH building at 2 Broadway on sev
eral occasion? In the last few weeks.
These were his first visits to hie of
fices in eight or nine years.
, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is also de
voting more time to the affairs of the
Standard Oil Company than ever be
fore. NEW YORK. Sept. 17. (Special.)
Sensational disclosures regarding the
fabulous earnings of Standard Oil
were brought out this afternoon at the
hearing in the suit of the United
States Government to dissolve the cor
yorkuo'u. Ad:'3'.t. uci'..'i.s drew
from the reluotant Hps of Clarence G.
Kay. resident comptroller of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, the
admission that in seven years Stand
ard Oil's total profits amounted to
$490,315,734. or something over $70,
000,000 a year.
Mr. Fay was also ' forced to admit
that In 1899 the profits were nearly
$80,000,000 instead of $34,000,000, as
set forth on the booxs of the com
pany. The Standard OH managed to
cover up Its great earnings in that
year by deliberately failing to credit
the earnings of 19 subsidiary com
panies that contributed vast sums to
the parent corporation.
This Is the first time the company's
"earnings have been made public.
Profits Wild as Romance.
Figured on the capital stock now
outstanding, $98,339,382, this Is an an
nual profit of something over 70 per
cent.' Figured on the basis of the
Standard Oil Trust, wnich had a cap
italization of $10,000,000 when it was
dissolved and reorganized Into the
present company without any ad
ditional investment on the part of Mr.
Hockefeller and his associates, the an
nual profit Is something like 700 per
cent. On the basis of the original
; Standard Oil Company, with a capital
ization of $1,000,000, the annual profit
is a little more than 7000 per cent. On
I the basis of the little refinery Mr.
Rockefeller had when he started out.
'with an Invested capital principally of
, nerve, the per centage of annual profit
lis well, the statlstlcans haven't
figured that out yet.
The Standard distributed to its share
holders In the same period $308,369,403.
"While the company was earning these
vast sums, the statement shows that the
assets of the company grew from $300,-
,000.000 to $371,534,631.
Controls Seventy Companies
. Financiers and those seeking knowledge
of the exact profits of Standard Oil have
striven vainly to obtain the figures which
Mr. Kellogg succeeded today in placing
upon the record of the court. The
Standard Oil Company makes no state
ment of Its business other than declara
tion of dividend and It makes no public
announcement by which Its business may
be gauged.
The hearing today brought out much in
formation which Mr. Kellogg obtained
from the Standard Oil Company. Mr.
Kellogg obtained a statement showing
that the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey controlled by stock ownership over
70 companies engaged In the refining and
the transportation by pipe line of oil,
September 14, 1907.
The Standard had always carefully
guarded the list of its subsidiary compa
nies and the amount of Its shareholding.
The list showed that the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey owned 99.000
shares of the total capital stock of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, which.
was recently fined $29,240,000 for rebating
Have Forgotten About Trust.
Mr. Kellogg's efforts at today's hearing
to obtain Information of the records of
the liquidating trustees who had charge
of the liquidation of the Standard OH
Trust and the exchanging of the liquida
tion trust certificates for the shares of
the Standard OH Company, of New Jer
sey were not recorded.- Charles M. Pratt,
secretary of the Standard Oil CorADany.
who testified that he had been a liqui
dating trustee, said Sie did not know the
whereabouts of the records and could
recall but little regarding the liquidation
of the Standard Oil Trust. Clarence Fay,
assistant controller for the Standard Oil
Company, the final witness today, was
also unable to give the Government in
quisitor the information he desired,
which caused Mr. Kellogg to remark Just
before the hearing closed that he thought
it strange that none in the Standard Oil
Company seemed to know where the
records of the liquidating trustees could
be found.
Kellogg Gets Many Facts.
The hearing here in the Federal suit
which was brought in St. Louis last De
cember has twice been adjourned at the
request of counsel for the defendants. In
the meantime, however, Mr. Kellogg has
obtained many books and papers from
the Standard Oil Company, which have
enabled him to proceed expeditiously
with the case. Mr. Kellogg intimated
today that the Government would also
inquire into the character and nature of

holdings of the Standard OH Company,
of New Jersey, as well as its affiliations,
if any, with railroads..
The Government has named not only
the Standard Oil company of New Jersey
as defendant, but also 70 subsidiary com
panies of the main corporation and the
following individuals: John D. Rocke
feller, William Rockefeller, Henry H.
Rogers, Henry M. ' Flaggler, Oliver H.
Payne, Charles M. Pratt and John D.
Archbold. Only William G. Rockefeller
and Charles M. Pratt have been sub

others later.
When today's hearing was called be
fore ex-Judge Franklin Ferris, B. C.
Benedict, one of the former owners of
the Manhattan Oil Company, testified as
to the sale of the concern which passed
into the hands .jt the Standard Oil Com
pany. Another Holding Company.
Charles M. Pratt, a director and sec
retary of the Standard Oil Company,
stated that his knowledge of the hold
ings of the company in other companies
was only general. He was asked to pro
duce statements showing the officers and
directors and the capitalization of all
companies in which the Standard holds
stock interest.
Mr. Kellogg questioned the witness
about the C. M. Pratt Investment Com
pany, the stock of which was shown to
be held by the Standard Company. He
said the Pratt Company represented the
stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
of Texas, which he was holding for the
Standard Oil Company. Mr. Kellogg de
veloped the information that the C. M.
Pratt Investment Company came into ex
istence at the time the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company was having difficulty with the
state of Texas.
Mr. Kellogg asked if it was not a fact
that the Standard Company and its sub
sidiary companies were governed by com
mittees. Mr. Pratt said he did not think
so, though in the Tsarly days of the
trusteeship of the company it was likely
that the company waj controlled by com
mittees. Company Bought Out Trust.
Mr. Kellogg asked what records were
kept by the trustees showing the man
ner of liquidation in the period between
1892 and 1902.
Mr.. Pratt, as one of the liquidating
trustees of the Standard Oil trust, said
there were books kept but he could not
recall in whose possession they might
be found.
. "Don't you know whether these
books are to be found in the comp
troller's office or the secretary's office?"
asked Mr. Kellogg.
"I really don't know," answered the
witness.
"Don't you know anything about the
organization of the Standard Oil Com
pany?" pursued Mr. Kellogg.
"No, sir, I do not," was Mr. Pratt's
answer.
Mr. Kellogg asked the 'witness if it
was not a fact that at the time the
Standard Oil trust was liquidated there
were 970,700 outstanding trustees, cer
tificates, which ""had been issued for
the stocks of the subsidiary companies
and that in 1892, when the Standard
trust was dissolved, the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey exchanged its
stock for the certificates of the. trust,
share for share.
"I think so," replied Mr. Pratt.
Mr. Kellogg asked John G. Mllburn,
chief counsel for the defendants, to
produce all liquilating certificates
Issued by the liquidating trustees,
which had been turned into the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
Mr. Kellogg also asked for all assign
ments of legal title given by those who
received the stock of the Standard OH

was excused for the time being.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17. (Special-) Tracing
lost affinities and uniting them is a great
public benefit and should be encouraged
by the authorities instead of being inter
fered with. Such is the plaint of Miss
Marion Grey, a demure black-orbed young
woman who was arrested by Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal W. H. Griffith at
Elgin, Ills., where she conducts, the
"Searchlight Club," a matrimonial agency.
"Affinity-mating" has proved highly pro
fitable to the young woman and, when
brought before United States Marshal
Foote today, she tendered a $1000 bill as a
cash bond for her appearance at the
hearing next Monday, but, it was as
serted later, friends furnished the money.
Miss Grey Is charged with having failed
to trace the missing affinity of Miss Min
nie Coleman, of Milwaukee, after the
young woman of the Cream City had sent
$5 to the "Searchlight Club" to be used in
finding her the soul-mate which she
craved.
Yearn for Real Kisses.
Investigations of the Government offi

a sociologist and author, has been a
student in the University of Michigan and
has been conducting the matrimonial

the parlor or hammock variety.

I intend to keep it up. I can give names,
if necessary, and my clients would come

Art In Picking Affinities.
"There is an art in picking out affini
ties, but of course there are times when
we make mistakes. We try to study the
soul yearnings of those who come to us
for aid. If a young woman wislres a poet

tire of the bard and find that what they
really wanted was a streetcar conductor
or a bricklayer. In such cases we do
what we can to improve the case.
"It seems strange what a penchant
young women have for old men. A num
ber of applicants for affinities say that
they prefer old men, if of course, they
have steady Incomes. Other girls, though,
yearn for young and handsome men re
gardless of their wealth. These usually
live in the country."

either' President Roosevelt or Secretary
Loeb, and not Mr. Fairbanks, was respon
sible for the cocktails served at the. lunch
eon tendered them by the Vice-President
at Indianapolis, Mr. Loeb today issued the
following formal statement in denial:
"The statement is too absurd to be given
any credence. Neither the President nor
his Secretary, either directly or indirectly,
ordered things of any kind at the lunch

where they were guests."

OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T., Sept. 18.
Oklahoma's constitution has been adopted
by a majority all the way from 50,000 to
70,000, state-wide prohibition has carried
and C. N. Haskell, Democrat, has been
elected Governor of the new state, over
Frank Frantz. trie present territorial
Governor, according to the limited re
ports received up to 1:30 o'clock this
morning (Wednesday). In every voting
precinct there were three ballots for the
voter to mark, in Oklahoma City there
were four, and the counting process has
been extremely slow.
The telegraphers' strike and lack of
telephone facilities have prevented the
forwarding of returns to either of the
political state headquarters here.
Prohibition Is Carried.
The ratification, of the constitution Is
conceded, although the majority was not
as large as was expected.
The majority in favor of prohibition is
placed at 25,000 to 40,000. Chairman Cas
sldy, of the Democratic committee, esti
mates It at 15,000, and approximately the
same figures are given out at Repub
lican headquarters.
Seven prelncts hi nnvern-r Frairtz
homo town give Franti IBS and Haskell
132; and it is announced from there that
the entire county Is going in about the
same ratio. This is a, disappointment to
the Republicans. On the other hand.
Muskogee County, where Mr. Haskell re
sides, went Republican.
At midnight Governor Frants gave out
a statement claiming his election by
more than 10.000. Mr. Haskell said he
believed he had won. but only referred
to the state committee's figures when
asked for an estimate.
The voting was very heavy.
Several days will elapse before the com
plete returns are In.
Congressmen Are Divided.
The new State elected Ave Congress
men. In the First and Second Districts
the Republicans expected to elect ex
Delegate to Congress B. S. McGuIre and
ex-Terrltortal Governor T. B. Ferguson,
respectively. The Third, Fourth and
Fifth Districts had been conceded to the
Democrats, whose candidates in the re-

spectlve districts were James Davenport,

The convention that framed the State
Constitution was heavily Democratic, and
the Constitution as completed was odious
to the Republicans. Secretary Taft,
speaking recently at Oklahoma City, ad
vised Republicans to vote against the
Constitution. Because ot a strong desire
for Statehood, however, the Republican
party did not attempt to defeat the Con
stitution. The new state must wait for the
Constitution's indorsement by' President
Roosevelt, who will either confirm or re
ject it, upon his Judgment as to whether
or not it conforms to the enabling act
of Congress and the Constitution of the
United States.

SEW CHARTER IS REJECTED
Foreign Element in Chicago Wins.
Reforme-s to Try Again.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17. (Special.) Chi
cago's proposed ii..w charter was de
feated at the polls today by a vote of
more than two to one. The measure
was snowed under in many strongholds
of both parties alike, losing in each of
the 35 wards but four. ,
Fifty per coir-; of - tho reglsi-red elec
tors turned nvtV, and their ballots killed
the act by a vote of 59,446. for, to 122,051
against. ' -
Municipal Court Reformed.
The same ballots that brought defeat
to the charter gave victory to the amend
ments to the municipal court act. They
prevailed by a vote of 91,027 against 71,
396, which means that flaws in the
operation of the municipal bench that
became evident soon after it went Into
existence last year are to be remedied.
The scope of the court is enlarged, "red
tape", is cut away, practice is simplified,
and in general the bench is equipped in
such a manner ' that its administration
of Justice will be even swifter and more
effectual than beforr The changes will
become operative upon the announcement
of the vote by the election commis
sioners, probably next Saturday.
Reformers Will Try Again.
Knowledge had hardly been obtained
that the charter was dead when a move
ment was on foot to secure another In
strument that will contain tho good fea
tures of the defeated measure, while
holding none of the defects that led the
voters to turn It down.
The foreign element of the city voted
solidly against the charter. The Demo
crats and Hearst's papers made an issue
of it on the grounds that it would in
crease taxes and would permit Sunday
"blue laws." Other citizens voted
against it out of fear that it would per
petuate officeholders Indefinitely. They
do not fear the present administration,
but choose not to put this power in the
handa of administrations that may fol
low. The salient features of the char
ter were:
Features of New Charter.
First The consolidation of th 89 parks
and playgrounds and 35 boulevards into
a single district under a single board
responsible to the people of Chicago and
maintained out of . a single fund In
lieu of the several districts under
separate, independent authorities.
Second A consolidated tax levy for all
city, school, park and library, purposes
under a reasonable and permanent ag- J
greaie limitation, in place or tne separate
levies now made, with the uncertain and
cumulative burden. .
Third The ability, to. build permanent
public Improvements out of bond Issues,
spreading the cost over a period of years,
instead of building out of the annual tax
levy for current expenses.
Fourth The proper division of the cost
of street pavements between the general
public and the abutting property-owner.
Fifth The power to legislate locally
for local affairs.
The light vote was due to some extent
to the fact that the election was a special
one and that the granting of time off for
the purpose of voting was optional -with
employers, and ' in the' majority of cases
voters were obliged to go to the polls be
fore going to work or not at all.
Busse Regrets Results.
Mayor Busse issued the following state--ment
tonight:
It Is evident from the result today that
a great majority of the people of Chi
cago either do not want a charter or are
not sufficiently interested in a new
charter to go to the polls and vote. The
very light vote polled and the majority
against adoption clearly proves that. I
think this indifference on the part of the
public has been a mistake.' While the
charter contains some provisions that
were disagreeable to this, that or the
other special interests or element in the
community, yet the whole of it was a
good thing tor Chicago. Its adoption
would have enabled the administration to
do many things in the way of public im
provements which would have been of
lasting benefit to t& city, ana Its people
DALZELL OUT FOR
TARIFF REVISION
High Priest of Stand
pat Sees Light.
WOULD SPARE STEEL TRUST
But Knife Will Be Applied to
Steel. Schedule.
PAYNE TALKS OTHERWISE
While Pittsburger Predicts Revision
Plank In Platform, Payne Only
Finds Slight Dissatisfaction
in Ranks of the Party.
OREGON'IAN NETVS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 17. "There probably will
be a declaration in the next Repub
lican platform favoring tarifT revision,"
eaid Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl
vania, when asked if he had yet been
converted to tariff reform. This
statement by itself is not astonishing1
or even worthy of notice, but, coming
from Mr. Dalzell, the high priest' of
high tariff, and particular friend of
the steel trust, it is worth more than
passing notice. It indicates that the
most vigorous opponent of tariff re
vision is beginning to hear from tho
masses of the people and has come to
understand that the people Intend to be
consulted.
Spare the Steel Trust.
But Mr. Dalzell went further than
to express the belief that a tariff re
vision plank would be inserted in the
new platform. "If such a plank Is
adopted," he said, "I believe the tariff
should be revised along conservative
protectionist lines." Of course, Mr.
Dalzell's idea of revision "along con
servative llnee" means a reduction of
duties on other products than steel.
There Will be no change in the steel
tariff if Mr. Dalzell can prevent it.
That- is -what he Is in Congress for,
and naturally he will not overlook the
Interests of the dear, good friends who
have been so kind to him. But when
the Republican party once undertakes
to revise the tariff, steel will be one
of the nrst schedulea attacked, and It
is one of the schedules most certain to
be reduced.
The high rate on foreign steel was
adopted at a time when the steel trust
was an infant industry, compared to
what it Is today. But the steel trust
long since graduated from the Infant
class and now holds position along
side the Standard Oil Company. More
over, the steel trust Is listed as one
of the really bad trusts, because it
sells its products abroad cheaper than
in the American market. This very
fact has created much general criti
cism of the high tariff on steel, and
this factor will force a reduction of
the steel rate as soon as Congress
takes up the tariff question. Mr. Dal
zell to the contrary notwithstanding.
Not Now, Says Standpat Payne.
Tariff revisionists have something to
hope for When Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsyl
vania, admits that there is a likeli
hood of tariff readjustment. It is
something he has never before con
ceded. It Is possible that Mr. Dalzell
is even now talking merely to placate
and "jolly" the Republican tariff re
visionists, and that he has no expecta
tion of aiding in formulating tariff
legislation.
Color is lent to this suspicion by
reason of the fact that Representa
tive Payne, of New Tork, the Repub-'
llcan floor leader, and Mr. Dalzell's
boon companion, simultaneously an
nounces that he finds no general de
sire for tariff revision, merely scatter
ing . evidences that there Is "some
slight dissatisfaction." Mr. Payne
not only declares there will be no
tariff plank In the next Republican
platform, but says the tariff will not
be an issue in the campaign, and fol
lows this with the declaration that
Congress will not take up the tariff
question after the election unless
there should be a marked change in
public, sentiment in the meantime.
MORE TROUBLE FOR JOHN D.
Farm Hand Wants Roosevelt's Help
in Collecting $10,000,000.
OYSTKR BAT, N. Y., Sept. 17. De
claring that be wished to enlist the
aid of President Roosevelt in an at
tempt to collect 110,000,000 from John
D. Rockefeller, a muscular-looking
man of about 30 years, apparently a
farmhand, who afterward gave his
name as Orlando Toland, visited Saga
more Hill today and fell into the hands
of the Secret Service men.
Toland, who seemed to be insane,
said Mr. Rockefeller promised to givs
him $65,000,000 if he could find a wom
an who had committed a murder In
St, Paul, and $10,000,000 for the work
done. He says he came from Oxford,
Ala., two weeks ago, and looked for
Mr. Rockefeller in Washington and
New York.
Then he decided to see the President
who, he said, had gone on a trip with
him when he visited Sagamore Hill
two years ago. The Secret Service men
put Toland on an evening train foe
New York, "
