not,'- then he has been influenced to take
, a position agalnat the application of the
law In the -hope that he woutd be able
to continue as mayor until WOT,", said, a
man well qualified to talk last evening.
'That such an arrangement baa . been

to understand that If the new law were

consented to light It, and has Instructed

- The course of reasoning Whereby the
" foregoing conclusion la reached regarding
the Impossibility of having a city elec

follows: : . J; .
The city charter; adopted by tho peo

San Francisco, Feb. SS.--I believe hat
the' Standard oaj-eompan)f leviea and
that It has for t years;;1evled an unjust
tax on ' the, people mf ,thls Country. I
believe that It does thlst
First by -controlling the output, of
refined oil-and keeping prices high. '
Second By making lUelf practically
the only buyer of crude oil and keeping
prices low.- i :' - .
Third By Juggling the pHces of both
crude and refined oil In the market. -
The , Standard Oil company,- ty Its
own confession, jr as formed- to keep up
the price of refined oil. - It was. because
people - were producing too much oil,
which was consequently growing cheap
through, its . abundanoerthat - tbeHrst
oombination - of Standard - forces - -was
adopted. .ItHiuooeeded in killing off Ita
rivals until it made nearly tS per cent
of all the refined oil In this country.
Tbera' hss never been 'a time for Si
years -when It did not control " over' SO
per cent of all the oil made. Now, any
economist" will admit that persona con
trolling TO per cent of a product control
Its. price... .- - c,
-'. . .. ; :...'.: 7n of OontroL
' How has the. Standard Oil company'
used. this-control -of prlcef
' When It first secured control It made
oil so' scarce that . It was able to run
up the price from 1 cents a gallon to
to and even IS cents. It limited the
output and kept up prices so that the
profits on a barrel of oil are known to
have Increased In one case from tS
cents to $2.60. . - ! ,
When' Independent oil men tried ' to
escape Ita power by building pipe linos
and . putting more refined oil on the
market It drove them , out of business,
solely fhat It might keep up ita policy
of making Oil scarce' and so keeplng.lt
dear.H For many, years, while millions
of barrels of oil were stored in Penn
sylvania and -Its owners were paying
over and over again Its value In atorage
chara-es. the Standard Oil com nan v was
keeping oil short In order to keep up Its
price, s--- ... --.j,.-
. Nothing but the sma& amount of com
petition whieh men who v refused io be
driven out of the business have been
able to offer, haa ever driven the price
of refined oil down. STake the price at
which refined oil la being sold alU-over
the country today. There ' Is; no such
thing as a -normal market price. !
Out 1n Kansas the dealers have-been
paying t and cents for what dealers' in
Kentucky pay t and t cents. The reason
is obvious, "rtiere baa always been com
petition In Kentucky. There never has
been any In - Kansas, , ,
. -" -. Bffeot of Competition.
There are points, only a few miles
apart in Ohio where there Is a difference
of aa much as S cents per gallon in the
price of refined oil, all because one, point
has competition and another has not.
The ' Standard Oil oonpanya control
of ratlroadaand pipe lines Is such that
the Independent dealer is unable often to
get Into a market to offer thla competi
tion. There are railroads In this country
which even refuse to quote an Inde
pendent dealer a price for shipping oil
that Is, the Standard OU company haa
such influence .over these roads that
the freight - agents refuse to handle the
ollfyrafno -of the Independent. This
stawment can be proved b letter which
arete.t hand. To keep the" Independents
out of ths market by Illegal processes and
so keep up the, price of oil Is, and has
always been, the sole object of the Stand
ard Oil company. ,
...Volley ef Standard. '
-. Why should oil fsll from It to T cents
the other dsy In the country' around
Wllkesbarre, Pn-t Because the pure oil
company the only Independent concern
In the country which has had the cour
age and patience to fight ita way with a
pine line te the sea tapped Its lines and
offered competition, -Let independents
Into a market and the Standard Oil .com
pany always gives cheaper olL Thla Is
a fact and Is proved by figures. Now.
what does It mean to keep up the price
of refined oil a necessity of the life of
the poor? It means darkness and cold
for those who must look at every penny
they spend. The to. 40 and 41 per cent
dividends the Standard Oil company pays
are wrun from the poor who burn oil,
not from the rich.' who use gas snd elec
tricity and candles. Recall' the , coal
strike of 1002-01, when the poor people
were forced te go without other heat
than that of the oil stove. With oil

SENATOR SICHEL ASKS
r POINTED QUESTIONS
Says a Thorough Examination
Will Be Made Into Methods at -Police.
Station, anof That
. Facts h Made Public. ' "
. By request of Chief of Police Hunt the
police commission .yesterday afternoon
began an Investigation of th circum
stance surrounding the 'escape of four
prisoners ' from the city Jail, with the
intention of endeavoring to fix the blame
where It may properly belong. Though
the investigation has by no means been
completed it haa already practically de
veloped 'Into an Investigation of Chief
Hunt himself and his "system." He waa
aaked a number of searching questions
by Senator Sig. Blchel, to none of which
did he give a satisfactory answer.
The Inquiry haa further disclosed the
fact that three months ago Jalles M,
UlUs, who with Captain Moors is accused
by the chief of carelessness and neglect
of duty, handed a written report to the
head of the department In the presence
of CaptlRn BaJtey,- in which rhe Stated
that many locjc in use at the Jail were
frail and almost worthless for th pur
pose for which they were, designed. Other
locks were said to be used with difficulty.
. The Immediate cause of this report was
the finding of several locks lying on the
floor of the Jail by lillla when he went
on duty. He notified Captain Bailey of
the discovery and was advised to make a
written report to Chief Hunt , .
" Chief Take ST Actios. '
Th report waa 'couched In strong
languago and handed the chief In the
presence' of Captain Bailey. -No action
was taken by Chief Hunt at that time
snd none was taken subsequently, look
ing to bettering the condition of the
Jail . and . minimising the cnanoea of
prisoners " escaping. -i
In addition to drawing attention ' to
the weakness of the locks and the fact
that several had been found lying on the
floor, Jailer Ullls also reported to Chief
Hunt that certain bars at .the prison
were loos and should be tightened be
fore advantage waa taken of their condi
tion. Nothing has sine been don by
the) chief to remedy these defects In the
Jail, ' nor. It Is said, did he even make a
reply when the information waa given
him. ':- -
It was commonly- supposed that when
Keith. Dnartrabe. Darwin and MoGloln
climbed through a skylight after prying
th locks off two doors they walked over
th roof and went down tbe stairway
lending to tb police court'-Keith and
MoOloin hare stated that they clam
bered ever the roof to the rear of. the
building and emerged on - the - street
through a Chines lodging house, td
which they sained access by means of a
skylight They were spprehended
through the detective work or ratroi
Driver Price, who learned that Keith
had visited bla sweetheart and at her
house had Stated that be and McOloln
Intended going to Vancouver, Wash.,
and from there to Seattle. , . 1' v
Another Snoap Wot Beported. .
Not tb least interesting fact Brought
out at the Investigation was that Pat
rick Burke made hi escape from th
city Jail three weeks ago. and that Chief
Hunt not only failed to Institute sa In
vestigation but kept the fact of the es
cape from all but a few of his favorite.
Burke was -sentenced - to- serve three
months for permitting hi wife to lead a
life of shame. . . , ,f '-
Jailer Ullls charge that Burke was
la th habit 'ft - leaving the Jail as
"trusty" whenever be sow fit and obtain
ing liquor. Three weeks ago. It Is said,
be slipped away from th prlsom to get
liquor snd failed to return. . ' '
vi am reliably Informed." said till I
last night "that a number of prisoners
at the city Jail manage to obtain liquor
whenever they want It Several of them
have told me that 1f th pollc commis
sioners desire to learn tbe facts they will
tell all they know.
. 14111 also assert- that during th re
cent cold spell several Of th prisoners
Suffered severely from chills. At that
time, he says, be tadnced Chief Hunt to
allow a stove to be placed In the corri
dor. McOloln was allowed to enter the
corridor and atand before th stove to
warm himself before he washed his ua
derclothlng the night of the eecape. ;
Chief Za Wratky.
Chief "Tlunt was furious yesterday
morning when he. learned of the four
men making their escape. H sent fdr
DeteoUv Hellyer and aaked how tbe
lock war broken. Hellyer said he un
derstood a broomstick had been used.
Waxing wroth at thla answer, tbe chief
ordered Hellyer. out of the office. He
also shuaed Detective Vaushn, and de
manded to know what- he "bad been do
ing for the last two days, anyhow."
