Rogers was the exe cutive vice-president of the Stand ard Oil company, and was frequently 'called the real "master of Standard Oil." It has been said by many that it was he, and not John D. Rocke feller. who evolved the idea of an oil monopoly. However this might ( be. it is certain that after the retire . inent of Mr. Rockefeller from active I business the conduct of the affairs of the Standard Oil company and its | great allied Interests were abso- I lutely in the hands of Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers began his career as ' a newsboy in the town of New Bed- j ford. Mass., and was born not far away in the village of Fair Haven. New Bedford at that time was the home i>ort of a great fleet of Amer ican whalers. That was before the days of oil wells, and in the heyday of the K;w rni oil trade. Young Rog ers knocked about among the whal- i ers and oil refineries with his eyes often rjid an increasing appreciation of the commercial values of oil. | Then came the discovery of coal i oil in Pennsylvania, an event that I instantly took the life out of l sperm industry. Rogers joined ! rush to the oil fields and found j fitable employment. Here he began j to give evidence of the genius for organization and executive ability I that later was to make him a niulti- , millionaire. He was prolific of ideas | for saving and marketing the pro duct of the wells, and some of the ideas were so good that he was em ployed by one of the big operators co carry them out. This employment 1 gave him confidence in himself and stimulated him to new endeavor. Rogers finally proposed a scheme which, at that time, was most dar- I mg. This was that the owners of all producing wells should pool their product and market it through one concern, the purpose being by con- trolling the output, reducing the cost of handling, fixing a uniform I cost for certain grade« and stopping I competition. to increase profits. I Some of the larger operators took I up the proposition and this was the inception of the Standard Oil com pany. Before long Rogers con ceived the idea of buying out all the small producers and organizing the larger ones into a combination that 1 would control the oil trade of the | country. The capital was found and the project was carried out as far I as the refusal of certain producers j to sell would permit.

No small degree of astonishment was manifested when Mr. Rogers, plunging into the matter of the fi nancial support Mr. Spreckles has accorded the reform movement, as certained without the slightest pro test the details of these expenditures. The total Mr. Spreckles said, he was unable to remember, but he ad mitted that h" had paid the rent and expenses of .»lr.

Crook county, are the making public a letter left by Worley addressed to one of his neigh bors w hich contains statements which tend to show that the married life of the couple was inharmonious from the very start and seems to fix the responsibility for the deaths of both on Worley. The wedding occurred Wednesday last. Friday and Saturday the house was closed. Sunday It was burned down. This It is believed fixes the date of the tragedy of last Thursday. There is evidence someone spent nearly all Saturday night In convey ing bundles of straw front a stack nearby, to the house where they were piled on the woman's dead body af ter the fire was set to the straw. At least a ton of these bundles were pil ed on the corpse. The straw was not consumed entirely, and the woman's body was not cremated although the house was burned down.
