BARKALOW BRO. NEWS SERVlCf ' VOL. XLVI.-XO- 14,598. . PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1907. PRICE FIVE CENTS. YEARLY INCOME OVER S4D,000,DDD Rockefeller's Fortune Still Grows, KELLGGG'S LAST REVELATION All Sources of Income Not Shown on Surface. STANDARD STOCK HOLDING ; Government Attorney Draws Out What Each One of Oil Kings Has and Shows Organizers of Trust Still Retain Control. NEW YORK, Sept. 21. (Special.) John D. Rockefeller is Just about 1 00,000,000 poorer, taking Into consid eration only his holdings of Standard Oil stock, than he was six years ago, hut, despite this enormous "shrinkage" in his fortune, his income remains the same. Likewise the University of Chicago hBB suffered a "loss" of $1,000,000 through the depreciation of Standard Oil securities, but it continues to draw down the same 200,000 a year in divi dends. The popular supposition that the 19, 000.000 in round figures which Mr. Rockefeller derives annually in, divi dends from the Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey, is all the direct profit lie gets out of the oil business re ceived a rude shock when Frank . B. Kellogg, attorney for the Government, , produced a. list of the individual stock holders of the Standard Oil Company, of New York. This is one of the sub sidiary companies of the New Jersey corporation, and it has been supposed that the parent concern owned prac tically all of the stock. It waa shown, however, that a little more than half of the 70,000 shares were In private hands and that Mr. Koekefeller owned, 8488, or more than one-fourth. All Dividends Do Not Appear. The Standard Oil Company of New York makes huge profits, not because it has any real business of its own, but because it acts as agent for the New Jersey corporation. In 1903 it paid dividends of $19,498,653. This, ac cording to popular belief, went into the coffers of the parent corporation to bo paid out 'again in dividends or held as surplus. It develops, however, that about $3,000,000 of it went to Mr. Rockefeller individually, and as much more to other individuals connected with the parent concern. In 1906, the latest year for which figures are available, 17 of the 70 odd subsidiary corporations of the Standard paid dividends of $41.3KS.03. Should it develop that Mr. Rockefeller as an Individual owns as large a proportion of their f-tock as he does In the New York company, his share of the divi dends would be nearly $12,00.000, and his income from oil, instead of being $10,100,000 a year, would be not far from $'..2,000,000 annually. Income $40,000,000 a Year. - Should it develop that, he owns the name proportion of stock in all 70 of the subsidiary companies and that those for which no figures are avail able paid dlvidertds anything like as large as the 17 concerning which the Information as to profits has been made public, Mr. Rockefeller's annual Income from oil alone might be any where from $40,000,000 up. This, of course, he reinvests every year in dividend-paying securities, but so careful ly have his Investments been guarded that attempts to figure his income, outside of that which he derives from the petroleum trade, must be merely guesswork. HOLDERS OF STANDARD STOCK Government Extracts More Informa tion From Tilford About Trust. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Records of the stockholders of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey, laid bare today at the hearing of the Government's suit for the dissolution of the alleged oil combine, disclosed the fact that John D. Rockefeller owns 247.600 shares, or near ly five times as much stock as any other Individual shareholder, and that he and Ms associates who signed the trust agreement in 1882 still control a majority of the stock. Measured by the present market price of $440 a share, the holdings of Mr. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil Company have a value of $109,000,000. The stockholders' record of August 17. 1907, shows that the University of Chicago is the owner of 5000 shares of Standard Oil stock. The depreciation in the price of the stock within the past 10 years, about the time the agitation began, has been more than $400 a share. Since legal pro ceedings against the Standard Oil Com pany were instituted, the stock has steadily declined, until it is now around $440. This represents a loss of over $100, 000.000 on the holdinns of John D. Rocke feller. The shrinkage in the market value of the stock cost the University of Chicago about $2,000,000. Accountants for the Government are 6 till engaged, on the records of the liqui dating trustees and ledgers obtained from the Standard Oil Company and, while the examination has not been fully completed, it is said today that the books show that from 1882 to the present time the oil combine has earned between $800,000,000 and $900,000,000. It is expected that next week the exact figures will be produced in court. Mr. Tilford was asked, on resumption of the hearing today, if the dividend of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey in 18S9 was $14,304,188 or $22,008,541. "I think the dividend was $14.304,188," replied Mr. Tilford. "And the reason the dividends were, so small was that the dividends in some of the subsidiary companies were paid to individuals instead of to the Standard OU Company of New Jersey?" "Yes. I think so," said Mr. Tilford. Why Dividends Sometimes Small. Mr. Tilford said that to the present date 972,492 shares of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey had been ex changed for trust certificates. He said ?7 ! l-rank B. KelloEI. Who Has Found Oitt Standard Oil Company's Enor mous Profits. there still remains outstanding stock of the subsidiary companies which has not been exchanged for the remaining eight shares of the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Tilford did not know if it was a fact that In 1888 or 18S9 the Manhattan Oil Company of Ohio sold Its -tank cars to the Union Tank Line, a subsidiary company of the Standard Oil Company, nor could ho say If the Ohio Oil Com pany, another Standard subsidiary, pur chased the oil-producing wells of the Manhattan Company. "Now, did not the Bolar Refining Com pany, another subsidiary company of the Standard, purchase at the time the re finery of the Manhattan Oil Company?" asked Mr. Kellogg. Mr. Tilford again replied, "I do not know." Mr. Tilford was questioned regarding the records showing the 1 amounts of shares of the subsidiary companies held in exchange for the trustees' certificates. The witness said he did not have the record. He was shown a record of the shareholders of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey on August 19, 1907. Holdings of Standard Stock. According to Mr. Tilford, 6000 shares were owned by John D. Archbold and 150 shares by John F. Archbold, his son. The former was one of the signers of the original trust agreement. S. G. Bayne & Company owned 410 shares; S. G. Bayne is president of the Security Oil Company. The witness gave little in formation ' about the identity of the numerous individuals who hold the stock. Mr. Kellogg, reading over the list of stockholders, many of whom he inquired about of Mr. Tilford, spread on the rec ords that Henry M. Flagler owned 30.305 shares of Standard Oil Company stock. Mr. Kellogg's inquiry was directed to adduce that . many of those Individuals who signed the original agreement in 1SS2 were still identified with the company. Oliver H. Payne, who signed the trust agreement, holds 40,000 shares of the com pany's stock. The stock holdings of Charles M. Pratt were shown to be 52, 582 shares, while his son, Charles H. Pratt, the secretary of the company, owns 5000 shares. John 1). Owns 247,692. Shares. "How much does John D. Rockefeller own?" "The records show 247,692 shares," re plied Mr. Tilford. "How many shares does William Rock efeller own?" "I find on record 11,000 shares," an swered Mr. Tilford. "How many shares does H. H. Rogers own?". "The record shows that Mr. Rogers owns 16,020," answered Mr. Tilford, who further stated that John D. Rocke feller, Jr., owned 120 shares. The present record of stockholders in the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey shows that John D. Rockefeller owned 199.000 when the Standard trust was finally dissolved, reducing his holdings In the company by 9162 shares. It was developed yesterday that Mr. Rocke feller held 256,574 liquidating, trustees' certificates out of a total of 972.500'cer tificates. The record of stockholders of the Standard Oil Company of New, Jer sey, only part of which was spread upon the court records, further showed that the University of Chicago owned 6000 shares. V. Deal "With Independents. Concerning the business of the Stand ard Oil Company of New York, Mr. Tilford said, it handled practically all of the export business of the parent company and that It purchased the oil from subsidiary companies of the Standard. Mr. Kellogg developed from Mr. Tilford that an understanding had beent entered Into in 1903 with several independent refining companies situ ated along the Standard's pipe line, whereby the independents were to fur nish n maximum quantity of oil each day to be divided among themselves.

TWICE SWEPT OWN STATE East and South Look to Him More and More to Gain Bryan's In dorsement and Kill the Boom for Chanlcr. WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. (Special.) Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota as the candidate, tariff revision as the paramount issue, a whirlwind contest for the capture of the Upper Mississippi Val ley and Northwestern States as the plan of campaign. These are the latest sug gestions pointing a way to Democracy for next year's Presidential fight, put forward from sources that are undis mayed by tile announcement that Wil liam J. Bryan soon will declare his can didacy for a third nomination at the hands of his party. Expect Bryan to Withdraw. Some of the staunchest friends of Mr. Bryan believe that the harmonizing of factions under his candidacy is impossi ble in the light of the bitterness engen dered during the campaigns he led In 1896 and 1900 and still showing Itself under the unfortunate leadership of A. B. Parker in 1904. They look to Mr. Bryan to see the situation as they see It now and, believing In his sincerity when he says he does not want to run again 'un less there be an overwhelming demand from the party, hope he may finally throw, the weight of his unquestioned in fluence to another standard-bearer. Mr. Johnson is a modest young . man with a remarkable record of political victories in a Republican stronghold, who has achieved some triumphs for the "good of the commonwealth of which he is chief executive. More than the WeJt may realise, the Kast and the South are in terested in this self-made young man of Minnesota., who was elected Governor when Theodore Roosevelt carried the state for President by a plurality of 161, 000, and who in the oftyear election fol lowing was re-elected Governor on his record by a plurality of more than 70,000. In all truth It may be said that, barring the aforetime "peerless leader," Mr. Johnson looms up more prominently at this time as a Democratic Presidential possibility than any other person in sight. East and South Turn to Him. And without any suggestion or help from Mr. Johnson himself or his close personal friends, more is soon to be heard of a genuine Johnson movement. Some j "I DON'T KNOW; ASK HIM." ' . j thing more .serloifs regarding his boom Is likely to develop as soon as the arti ficial and really foolish attempt to boost lieutenant-Governor Chanler of New York into the Presidential class has failed. Neither the East nor the South knows Mr. Johnson personally, but their Democratic leaders are evincing a de sire to get acquainted. Every time a Minnesota man gets down East or South the first thing he is asked is about that young Governor up there. The leaders far away have been anxious to learn things that mhjht tell them whether Mr. Johnson was of Presidential size. Tariff revision Is the thing for which Mr. Johnson stands most prominently in a National sense, according to his own words and actions. He lives In a center of the country where the people are most wrought up over tariff revision. In his own state the sentiment already has driven a pronounced standpatter Repre sentative McCleary from the halls of Congress. The revision feeling In both parties is strong all over the state and extends south just as strongly into Iowa. WILIi YET JOIX REPUBLICANS Oklahoma Not Regarded as Hope less Ven New Test Conies. WASHINGTON, Sept 20. (Special.) "Oklahoma and Indian Territory are safely Republican and on the first real measure of strength will be found so," Is the emphatic statement of Judge J. R. Thomas, of Muskogee, who for ten years was a Delegate In Congress from Indian Territory. , The sweeping victory of the Democrats at the last election is credited by the Republican politicians of Oklahoma to Republican apathy. They felt a delicacy about voting against the constitution and were satisfied that the constitution would not be accepted by the Federal Govern ment. Expecting to have another real opportunity to vote on a constitution which would have some chance of ac ceptance, they remained away from the polls. It Is asserted that when the real test of strength comes the Republicans will make an entirely different showing. ROOSEVELT CAN'T BE DRIVEN Seth Bullock Confident He Will Not Be Candidate Again. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 20. (Special.) "I would like to have a photograph of the man who will force President Roosevelt to accept another nomina tion," said Seth Bullock, a personal friend of the President, who' has Just returned from a trip through the East, during which time he paid a brief visit to the President.- Mr. Bullock is on his way to the Black Hills, where he lives. He has been very close to the President for many years. "The American people know the President can't be driven to do any thing," continued Mr. Bullock, "and the . United States Senators ought to know it. If they don't, it Is time they were finding It out." The latter part of his remarks were directed at United States Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, who has been -quoted as faying that Mr. Roosevelt will be compelled to ac cept another term. iWIH Renominate Tom Johnson. CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 20. Returns from ward primaries held last evening in dicate that Mayor Johnson will be re nominated for Mayor by the Democratic city convention Saturday by acclamation. The Indications also are that all of the candidates for places on the Council ticket who had the Indorsement of the Mayor have won. Army Captains Have Fist Fight. MANILA, Sept. 20. Captain James R. Lindsay and Captain Henry S. Wingatt, both of the Thirteenth Infantry, have been arrested by Colonel Loughborough, their commanding officer, on the charge of engaging in a fist fight aboard the transport Iogan. lying In quarantine at Nariveles. en route to San J-Yancisco. FANATICS TEAR WOMAN TO PIECES Her Son and Daughter Lead in Crime. TRY TO EXORCISE EVIL SPIRIT Revolting Torture Inflicted by New Zion Sqct. OTHER INVALIDS KILLED Latest Development of Dowieism Culminates In Old Woman's Be ing Torn Limb From Limb. Forty Accused of Crimes. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. (Special.) Five persons, who say they are Parhamltes, are under arrest at Zion City on the charge of torturing to death Mrs. Letitia Greenhaulgh, 64 years old, who had been a helpless rheumatic cripple for 20 years. Two of the .fanatics are the son and daughter of the- victim. Mrs. Green haulgh died Wednesday, shortly before noon. According to the confession of her son, Harold. ,and Mrs. .Mitchell, Mrs. Smith and the son and daughter, Wal ter and Jennie Greenhaulgh, acting upon the statement by Mitchell that the aged woman was possessed of devils, decided to exorcise them. The husband of the old woman, a non-believer, was lured away from the house. Then ths five ex ecutioners went into the bedroom of the victim and locked the doors. This was early Wednesday morning. Torn Limb From Limb. All five firjt knelt in prayer, and then began their work. Muttering lncatan tions, th-y se-.d the distorted arms and legs of the old woman and twisted them out of the sockets. They held pillows over her mouth to smother her feeble screamB, beat her emaciated body until it was smeared with blood, and sat upon her knees until they heard the bones crack. Finally the soul of the tortured creature went out and her life ended to the weird requiem of fanatical songs, shrieked and yelled by the tormentors to drown her dying cries. Every bone in her legs and arms was broken, her neck twisted until it would not support her head, and her flesh pur ple with abrasions. Other Invalids Killed by Torture. The death was reported as due to nat ural causes and hasty preparations were made to bury the body, but persons who heard the screams of the tortured woman caused an Inquiry to be made. The leader of the Parhamltes is out of the city, but. is being sought for. It is believed many' other Invalids-have been done to death, and It ia stated that fully 40 arrests will be made shortly. Son Tells Story of Murder. Walter Greenhauigh testified , at the Coroner's inquest that Mitchell and his wife recently had a ""Ision," In which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time to casting out demons from the sick. Young Greenhaulgh de clared that his mother's consent was ob tained before' the treatment was com menced. He declared that hypnotic passes were made before his mother's face, and then followed the muscular force which, he said, was strongly resisted by the "demons." Mrs. Smith's part in -the treatment, according to the testimony before the Coroner's jury, consisted in raising Mrs. Greenhaulgh's head and holding her while Mitchell and his wife attempted to straighten the woman's limbs, which had been twisted by years of rheumatism. Greenhaulgh broke down and cried as he told 'his story. He declared that for some time his mother irore the treatment bravely, but at last the agony became so great that sho could not restrain herself, and she shrieked. ."Oh. Lord, help me," a number of times. According to Green haulgh, Mitrhell declared that her cries 7 I i I 1 ! Nvr, ! ( Tf ! ' 1 Willlaih Rockefeller, lirother of John 1. Rorkrfrller, One of Small Stock holders In Standard Oil Coin pan j-. must not he heard by outsiders, and he put his hand across her mouth to smother them. The five worked over the victim until she died, shortly before noon. Resurrection Is Tried. After that, 'according to Greenhaulgh, Mrs. Smith became the leader In a "res urrection scene." In this efforts were made to restore tftn dead woman to life. When these had failed, the announcement of her death was made. The case Is be ing fully investigated today by the au thorities of Lake County, In which Zion City is situated. Pa,rhim's Visions Draw Crowd. Th Farham cult first came into promi nence in Zion City in September, 1906. Charles F. Parham came to Zion City from Topeka, Kan., where, he asserted, he ha,d a marvelous vision directing him to go to Zion and save the souls of its inhabitants. He began operations by open-air meetings, which were largely at tended, the auditors being Impressed by his manner of delivery and description of his vision. Soon many adopted his doc trine.

By a cage plunging 760 feet down the shaft' of the Jones & Laughlin Iron mine. 11 men were killed and seven fatally injured. The cage with its human 1 freight was being lowered on Its first trip of the day, when the brake sud-' denly failed to hold. Two other men sprang to the assistance of the one at the brake, but their efforts did not avail and the wire cable continued to unreel from the drum like thread from a spindle. ' Drops 'sheer to Bottom. The vage shot down a couple of hun dred feet before a kink in the too rapidly paying out cable caused it to part and from that point the cage :had a sheer drop to the bottom of the shaft. The safety catches with which It was equipped failed to operate. The surging of the cable and its mad flight tore out part of the eide of the engine house and ripped out several of the sheaves in and about the shafthouse. Workmen at the bot tom of the mine immediately set about the task 'of removing the 'dead. The bod't. lay In one pile, mass of lifeless flrsh and blood. The bones of the bodies were so shattered that the men, when they fell, were piled on top of each other like o many pelts of leather. Seven men were found still alive. Scenes of Agonizing Grief. Thousands of people soon congre gated about the mine shaft. In the crowd were the wives and children of the two hundred men-who are employed in the mine. Each thought that a hus band or parent or son was In the cage. There was no way of relieving the suspense, aa the fallen cage blocked the ext. If was fully two hours be fore the cable was adjusted so that the cage could be raised to the surface.- During all this time, women with babies in their arms cried hys terically or fainted. . When all the miners came from un der the ground and many anxious wie and others failed to find members of the families who worked In the mine, the scene was pitiful. Priests and ministers moved among the peo ple consoling them and begging them to be calm. ' FER-DOIM'S AID IS KILLED Salt Ivake Man Executes Medicine Man Vnder Unwritten Law. OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 20.
