INDUSTRIAL INQUIRY.
George Rice Of Marietta, o., Ap
pears Before the Commission.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. = George
Rice of Marietta, O., who described
himself as a moderate producer of oil, y
was before the Industrial Commission
to-day.
Mr. Rice had prepared in advance
statement of his views, which he had
copyrighted. The pamphlet the commits
sion refused to receive as such, but Mr..
Rice was allowed to proceed under the
rules of the commission, using the
pamphlet as the basis of his statement.
In his formal statement Mr.. Rice ac-
cused the railroad companies generally
with conspiring In connection with the
Standard Oil Company to drive indie
pendent refineries out of the field of ac-
tivity. He gave alleged instances of
discrimination by the railroads in ia
vor of the Standard Oil Company pre-
vious to the passage of the interstate
commerce laws.
Replying to the statement of John
D. Archibald Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, that his company had made no
discriminatory freight rates since the
interstate commerce law went into eff
feet, Mr.. Rice gave numerous instances
of what he characterized as discrimina-
lions made in the interest of the Stand
ard Company since that date. TIe made
charges of such favoritism against the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the
Missouri Pacific and other railroads,
saying that the charges had been
proven by him before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Mr. Rice said that his refinery at
Marietta had been closed for the past
three years as a result Of these dis
ordinations.
1T have" he said, been driven from
pillar to post, from one railway line 10
another for twenty years in the vain
endeavor to get equal and just freight
rates with the Standard oil trust, SO as
to be able to run my refinery at any
thing approaching profit, but this I
have been utterly unable to do"
He asserted that the Standard COM
pany was represented in the director
ship of railroads controlling one-f1fth
of the railroad mileage of the country.
Mr. Rice stated his conclusion to be
that "Our Government is failure, be-
cause of reinforcement Of our laws
against this piratical crew who infest
our interest and commerce under the
secret cover of unlawful rebates and
combinations and thus rob the people
of hundreds of millions of dollars"
He thought the laws sufficient for the
protection of the people, but the diff
Guilty was found in the failure of the
officials to enforce the law. The re-
sponsibility, he said, lay with the At
torney General. He thought the Gov
eminent should own the railroads. and
that the protective tariff should he re-
moved from the articles used by the
trusts. In case of Government owner
Ship he would have the railroad en-
ployes disfranchised, in order to take
the roads out Of politics. He thought

SOMEWHAT RETICBNT
But It is Evident the Prosecutor
Has Been at Work.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT CASES
That May be Brought Before the Grand
Jury, Are Being Considered-The
Greentown Murderers May
he Brought to Justice.

In regard to what action the grand jury
may take in the East Greenville affair, where
it was suspected Mrs. Elizabeth Waisner had
come to her death by poisoning, and in the
GreentOwn murder case, in which the old
man Hartong met his death at the hands of
robbers, Prosecutor Pometene said today:
owe do not desire to state at present just
what will be done. In regard to the East
Greeuvile affair, an investigation is being
pursued, and if the result warrants it, action
NAV be taken by the grand jury"
In regard to the Hartong affair the prosecu-
tor was reluctant but it is understood that a
man now in the county Jail is strongly sus.
pected of knowing a great deal about the
GrCentOwn tragedy which spread cOnsterna
ton throughout the surrounding country.
While little has been done in the matter which
could be made public it is understood the
prosecutor has not been asleep and the Williams
who murdered the old man and robbed him
may yet be brought to Justice.
