STANDARD OIL COMPANY, SOI REPUBLICAN IfflTI POSSIBILITIES PIIILSNDfR KiX 'Washington, June 6. Dnrely over five feet in height, Philander Chase Knox, senator from Pennsylvania and former attorney general of the United States, Is, physically speaking, the most dlmunltlve candidate for the presidency that the country has ever seen. But short as he Is In stat ure, he Is long In Intellect. There are other superlative adjec tives that might be applied. For In stance, he is the richest of all the re publican candidates, the dreslest, the most reserved and the sportiest. He owns some of the best blooded horses In America. He has earned the big gest fees for defending corporations, and he was the first attorney general to find and make use of an effective weapon to prosecute them. He Is also the baldent of all the candidates and the only one that Is smooth shav en. Knox likes the company of young men. At his house almost every eve ning there Is a pinochle or billiard gume in progress In which the sena tor and some youngsters of his ac quaintance are the participants. When he finds a young man display ing marked ability In nny line of work, he is very opt to extend a help ing hand. It was thus that Milton D. Purdy, sometimes referred to as as the "trust buster" of the adminis tration, came Into notice, Knox met him when In Minnesota In connection with the Northern Securities case, when Purdy hod Just begun to climb the legal ladder. Knox was attracted to him and his work, and when the law was passed authorizing the de partment of Justice to employ special assistant attorneys general, he sent for Purdy and gave him one of the Jobs. That Purdy has made good Is a tribute to Knox's discriminating Judg ment of men. v Knox Is sensitive.- Some years ago he entered at the New York horse show a pair of blooded horses that had pedigrees reaching back to the Dark Ages, and which to his mind, as an expert, was the finest matched team of trotting horses In America. The prizes, however, went to horses of New York's social favorites and Knox's pair received no mention. He has never exhibited there since. Kxim-IIm1 IVnm Colleffi'. Ho owes his promlnonce partly to the fact that he was once expelled from the West Virginia University for a boyish prank. One of the rules of the faculty was that no students should attend theatricals. One day a company playing "East Lynne" came along and Knox, together with about 20 fellow students, decided to see the performance. " One of the pro fessors, sent to take the names of the offenders, reported them, and all were sentenced to expulsion. Eigh teen were reinstated on signing an agreement not to offend again, but Knox and one other left. He then went to Mt. Union College, Alliance, Ohio, and It was there that he first met William McKlnley, Jr. Undecided as to the profession he would adopt, It was entirely due to McKlnley that he finally resolved to become a lawyer. But for that meet ing, Knox might now be a bank cash ier In a country town, like his father. A close student, esupeclally of cases In which he was Interested, and with a fjne capacity for resolving ab struse statements of the law into concise and lucid language under standable even by laymen, Knox sut. ceeded In his profession from the start. In the earlier days of An drew Carnegie he became the Iron master's lawyer and received, It I said, an Income of 150,000 a year from this source alone. $90,000 a Year. In the 20 years following his res ignation In 1876 as assistant United States attorney for the western dis trict of Pennsylvania, a place that ho held for only one year, his personal retainers averaged $90,000 a year, These, with his Interest in the other business of his firm, gave him an In come of about $150,000 a year, and he came to be recognized as one of the most successful corporation law yers in the country. Incidentally he became . a stockholder In the U. S Steel corporation, the Union Trust compuny, the Pittsburg Bessemer and Luke Erie Hallway Co., and other powerful corporations. His largest single fee was earned In a 45-mtnute speech in opposition to, an attempt to abrogate the charter and limit the franchises of the Indianapolis Street Car company. He received $125,000 for that piece of work. His associate, the late ex-President Benjamin Har rlson addressed the court for four hours and received only $50,000. It Is related of Knox's early career that when he had a particularly puz zling question to elucidate, he would sally forth with a law book under one arm and fishing tackle under the other and hie him to some, favorite stream. When he returned In the evening he generally had a string of fish and the solution of his problem as well. Perhaps because he knew from the Inside how the federal laws were be ing violated, but more likely because he realized that the principal duty attached to his office was to prose cute such violations, Knox quickly became active In the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law, when McKlnley appointed him attorney general In 1901. He was firmly con vlnced that combinations that stifled competition and restrained Inter state commerce were evil and, after hard and laborious effort, he got to gether the necessary evidence and sued the Northern Securities Co. He was upheld by the supreme court of the United. States In his contention that this concern was an Illegal com bination, Goverimunt Ownership. He has consistently held that mo nopolles and combinations, partlcu larly of railroads, tended surely to wards government ownership of pub lic utilities, and he set himself to com bat that tendency by seeking to give the people relief under existing laws. He Instituted proceedings against the beef trust, the salt trust, the Jack sonville Wholesale Grocers ' associa tion, the Cotton Traffic Poo, the An thracite coal. carrying roads, and many others, all Involving alleged violations of the anti-trust and Interstate com merce laws. It was on his recom mendation that the law was passed permitting cases of general Import ance to be expedited in the supreme court of the United States. Knox owns three homes. One Is a large and beautifully furnished stone house on Ellsworth avenue, Pittsburg, set In the midst of well-kept lawns. His Washington residence Is on K street, was the former home of George W. Chllds, and cost the sena tor $170,000. His country place Is at Valley Forge, once part of the camp ing ground used by George Washing ton, and the headquarters of Gen eral Knox, the senator's Ulustrous revolutionary ancestor. Here he raises all kinds of fine stock. As much of his time as Is possible Knox spends In the open. He Is fond of golf and plays a fair game. He likes to fish. But his chief delight In the way of sport Is his horses. These he likes to drive himself, and other early risers may frequently see him speeding a pair of blooded roadsters through the crisp morning air along the picturesque roads of Kock Ceek Park. Without advertising the fact, Knox Is a man of generous Impulses. Fol lowing the great blizzard of 1896 In Western Pennsylvania, he was called upon by a representative of a charity organization for a contribution for coal and food. Knox handed her a check, the size of which led the stai tied .woman to Inquire: "How do you wish this money V) be npplled, Mr. Knox?" "As your organization thinks best," was the reply. "There are . worthy and unworthy poor, I know, but they pre all cold and hungry."

There has not been a better straw- bery season for many years. The oerries are of good size and of extra fine flavo. The frost did absolutely no damage to the fruit this vear. and the yield will be extra large, consid ering the acreage. Indians from the several reserva tions have arrived In large numbers to harvest the crop, and it is believed that there will be plenty of pickers apd packers this season to care prop erly for the berries. The Davidson Fruit company and the Hood River Fruit Growers' union have practically enough orders on hand to consume the entire output. Berries have been poor In California this year and the dealers have not been stocking up very heavy, and for this reason people are good and hun. gry for the Hood River stock which is always the best on the markets.
