Commiaalon on Corpora Iona 8aya It Uaos Worst o f Methods. Washington, Aug. 5.— Significant revelations are made public In a re port submitted to President Roose velt by Herbert Knox Smith, Com missioner of Corporations, concern ing the operations of the Standard Oil Company. In a previous report the ways and methods of the Standard were ex plained. The present report sets forth the results of these methods and the effect they have had on the consumption of oil and on the profits of the Standard Oil Company. Com missioner Smith says: “ The Standard Oil Company is re sponsible for the course of prices of petroleum and its products during the last 25 years. The Standard has consistently used its power to raise the price of oil during the last ten years, not only absolutely but also relatively to the cost of crude oil.” The Standard has claimed that It has reduced the price of oil; that It has been a benefit to the consumer: and that only a great combination like the Standard could have fur nished oil at the prices that have prevailed. "Each one of these claims,” says Commissioner Smith, ” ls disproved by this report.” The Increase In annual profits of the Standard Oil Company from 1896 to 1904 was over $27,000,000. The report says: "The total dividends received by the Standard from 1882 to 1906 were $551,922,124, thus averaging 24.15 per cent a year. The dividends however, were much less than the total earnings. It is substantially certain that the entire net earnings of the Standard from 1882 to 19 were at least $790,000,000 and pos sibly much more. "These enormous profits have been based on an Investment worth at the time of its original acquisition not more than $75,000,000.” The report of Commissioner Smith shows that the Standard Oil Com pany is responsible for petroleum prices for the past quarter of a cen tury because this company has con trolled the Industry. The report shows the price history of oil pro ducts since 1866, or practically since the beginning of the industry. This gives an opportunity to compare the course of prices during the earlier competitive period with the course of prices during the later monopolis tic period. It also shows that prices would have been lower during this later period under normal competi tive conditions and In the absence of any such overshadowing combination as has actually existed. These prices show directly the ef fect that the existence of this com bination has had upon the consumer and also the results that have ac crued to the combination Itself by way of profits. Just conclusion can thus be drawn of the way the Stand ard Oil has used its great Industrial power.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT ON. Dasir* to Mak* Fast Tim* Causa of Many Wracks. 8au Francisco, July 31.— The tes timony of the officers of the steam schooner San Pedro, before Captain John Bermingham today, demon strated clearly that the habit of Coast skippers, said to be practically universal, of running their vessels at full Bpeed regardless of the fog, was mainly responsible for the wreck of the Columbia and ltB terrible con sequences. Chief Mate B. Hendricksen, who was in charge of the San Pedro at the time of the collision, testified that, when he first heard the fog slg-' nals of the Columbia, be did not slow down and that, when the passenger vessel loomed out of the fog, it was too late to do anything but try to make the collision as slight as pos sible. He appears to have acted with dis patch and good judgment when he sighted the Columbia; but at that time, according to his testimony, the ships were not more than a boat’s length apart, and not much was pos sible. There was no time to go to starboard. He therefore blew the danger signal, four short blasts, or dered the engines stopped and threw the helm hard aport. He did not or der the engines reversed, he ex plained, because he hoped to throw the San Pedro arouad so as to strike a glancing blow, and in order to do this it was necessary to keep suffl cient way on her. The San Pedro had been making about eight knots, and was probably making five when she struck the Columbia. MOYER FREE ONCE MORE. Bond for Bail Furnished After Lorg Wait for Cash. Boise, Idaho, July 31.— After a de lay of nearly 36 hours, Charles H Moyer, president of the Western Fed eration of Miners, was released from the Ada county jail at a late hour last night on a bond of 25,000 signed by Timothy Regan and Thomas J. Jones of Boise. Moyer will leave for Salt Lake to night in company with William D Haywood, who on Sunday was ac quitted of the murder of ex-Gov ernor Steunenberg. After a stop of a few hours in Salt Lake City, they will proceed to Denver, the head quarters of the federation. It was proposed to file a cash bond In the sum of $25,000, but the money did not arrive in time, and rather than allow Moyer to remain another night in jail, his attorneys decided, after all, to let a personal bond suffice. Steve Adams who was expected to be an important witness at the trial but who was not called by either side, was taken back to Wallace to await a second trial on the charge of murder there. HIs first trial re sulted in a disagreement. Formal application was made In the District Court to have George A. Pettibone admitted to bail. The mo tion was submitted without argu ment, and was promptly denied by Judge Wood. WILLPROVOKEJAPAN Movement ol Fleet to Pacific May Bring War. HOODLUMS WILL START ATTACK With Battleships in Pacific They Will Become Bold and Japan Will 8urely Retaliata. Washington, Aug. 3.—There waa much jubilation on the pait of naval officers today over the specific and un qualified announcement at Oyster Bay that the battleships of the Atlantic fleet will be sent to the Pacific. Until this statement was made by authority of President Roosevelt there was a grow ing feeling on the part of naval officers that these vessels would not be sent around Cape Horn. One of the moet substantial officers of the navy believes that the sending of these battleships to the California coast will cause so much irritation that war between the United States and Japan will be the result. They are already figuring on promotions, as history has shown that advancement In the naval service is much more rapid during war than in peace. All naval officers are forbidden to discuss international questions fer pub lication, but privately they do not hesi tate to declare that they believe that as soon as the Altantic fleet starts on its long voyage to ths Pacific the Japanese government will send one of its Heels to the coast of California or to the At lantic coast. They declare that the presence of the liattleehips of Admiral Evans on the Pacific will cause the people in that part of the country to become more bold in their attacks on the Japanese. This, they say, will cause irritation, which they fear will lead to Berious consequences. ADD NEW TRAIN. Southern Pacific Will Inaugurate New Express Service, Portland, Aug. 3.— Harriman offi cials, both in Portland and San Fran cisco. are seriously considering placing a special mail and express train on the Portland-San Francisco run. It iB ex pected that a decision will be reached in a few days. Railroad officials are inclined to think the additional service is assured, although^the train will have to be officially ordered by General Man ager Calvin from the San Francisco office. The proposed new train will be re served exclusively for handling mail and express, and is being considered as an expedient for relieving existing con gested conditions, which, it is said, are responsible largely for the unsatisfac tory passenger service on this branch of the Southern Pacific. This special will carry no passengers. J The express business on this line has increased to an extent that it is impos sible to handle it with the facilities that are now provided in the passenger trains and at the same time make schedule time with these trains. By ccmbining both the express and mail business and handling it with a special train, the railroad officials figure that <t will be possible to operate its passen ger trains on schedule time, since it is the discharging and receiving of ex press that invariably delays trains. ANOTHER NEW YORK CRIME, Brutal Murder o f Woman and Girla in Metropolis Continues. New York, Aug. 2.— "The grave yard," aa the foreign populated neighborhood on First avenue, be tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets Is known locally, gave up to day a fresh crime, rivaling In atroc ity the mysterious butcheries of last week. The latest discovered victim was au 8-year-old girl, and, like the two youug women murdered, she had been shockingly mistreated before death and the body mutilated when life was extinct. The three murders were strikingly similar. Last Thursday night a woman was strangled in a Twenty- second street boardinghouse; the next morning the body of a still un identified woman, who had been choked to death, was found in an areaway in East Nineteenth street. Katie Prltschler, daughter of a res taurant waiter, disappeared a week ago today and was killed that night. A ribbon placed about the throat and drawn so tightly that it cut the flesh, showed how she died. Her body was found today. If the brutality of the murders can be qualified, that of the Prltsch ler girl ranks first. She was as saulted, murdered and then her life less form was horribly mutilated. NINE MEN CHOSEN. Good Progress Made In Selecting Jury to Try Haliey. San Francisco. Aug. 2.— Compara tively rapid progress was made yes terday in the trial of Theodore V. Halsey for the alleged bribery of Supervisor Lonergan. Halsey, as former agent of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company, is the second of the public utilities cor poration men to be brought to the bar by the bribery graft prosecution and the indictment on which he went to trial is the first of 13 similar ones that have been returned against him. Forty-eight veniremen were ex amined during the day, and of these nine withstood the qualification tests and were accepted, subject to per emptory challenge by either side, ten peremptories resting with the de fense and five with the prosecution. District Attorney La„gdon con ducted the examinations for the pros ecution. He is supported by Special Counsel Hiram Johnson and Assist ant District Attorney William Hoff Cook. Bert Schlesslnger examined for the defense. With him at the counsel table in Halsey’s behalf are Delphln M. Delmas and Henry H. McPlke. If Judge Lawlor overrules the objection of the defense to the commencement of Louis Glass’ new trial next Monday and requires it to go on at that time, Mr. Delmas will probably withdraw temporarily from the Halsey case in order to take part in the defense of Glass.
