John ID, Rockefeller Quoted as
Saying They are Benefits,
He Refutes Popular SANDER Against
the Big Standard Oil
Trust.
FUTURE NOT WORRYING HIM

New York, May 19-John d. Rookie
Teller has come out with statement
Of what he, the greatest magnste of
all, personally thinks of the trusts as
a sociological institution, and Incl
dentally he has made an answer to the
accusation against the Standard OIL
trust by Miss Ida Tarbell in her his
tory of the combination, which recent
ly had magazine publication.
She chsrged,a others have charged,
that the Standard oil trust had forced
smaller refineries to sell their plants,
and thus cut them out from share Of
the future profits in the petroleum
business. Mr.. Rockefeller talked to
Gaylord Wiltshire, editor of wiltshire's
Magazine, a Socialistic organ, meeting
him at Santa Barbara on his recent
trip in California. He said:
"Overproduction of oil caused the
formation of the Standard oil trust.
Had IL gone on many would have been
ruined. IL is absurd to say the Stan
dard oil forced the refiners into the
trust.
"They were only roo glad to come
in, and all made money by coming it..
Natural conditions would have ruined
us If we had not made a combination.
l thought once Of having an answer
made'to the Mcclure articles, but, as
you know, it has always been the poll.
cy of the Standard Oil company ia
keep silent under attack and let our
acts speak for themselves.
Asked by Mr.. Wiltshire if the act Of
the trusts in suppressing over produc.
tion would not cause an unemployed
problem, Mr.. Rockefeller said:
"No, think the trusts, by regulat-
ing industry aud systematizipg bust
ness, will help us keep up the present
prosperity we have never had such q
period OF prosperity in the history OF
the country, and yet there never were
SO many trusts, hence it cannot be said
that trusts prevent prosperity"
Questions Of the unemployed or the
future industrial problems, such as gov.
eminent ownership, that would be
brought about by the present oombins.

pressed himself as not being interest

RULES FOR THE BALL PARK


the jackson league team again yester-
day in presence of large crowd but
the game was we'll played, and two of
Paducsh's men made feature plays.
A report of the game reached here
last night early but was very brief,
stating that Paducah had lost by q
score of 3 to 6. Additional informa-
ton received here this morning goes to
show that IL rained there in the morn
ing or on the night before and that the
grounds were in very bad condition,
being sloppy and the players falling
many times in playing. Collins, the
new infielder and baseman made sew
eral feature plays on third base and
Kenny Murray in left field did sever
al creditable stunts also.
Collins is a Nashville Southern
league man and was secured by Padu-
cab over Clarksville and one other
league team from the south. The reg
ular position for Collins has not been
assigned and will not be until he
reaches Paducah tomorrow. This sf-
ternoon the Paducah team will 60
against Jackson again and this time
Morgan or Hedges will pitch the game
There is some doubt as to whether
or not Street, of the Hopkinsville team,
will be secured. Street is the catcher
who did such excellent work for the
Hoptown boys here Sunday week age
and claims he has not signed with
Hopkinsville. The Hopkinsville man
sger however claims he has and does
not want him to come. The matter
will be settled by Thursday. Presi
dent Ben weille stated this morning
that if Street had signed with Hop.
town that he OF course would not insist
on his breaking and coming here, but
that if he had not Paducah certainly
would "cop" him out.
Last night the board OF directors OF
the Baseball association met aud de-
cided on ground rules. They are as
follows: All improper persons will
not be permitted to attend the games.
No person under the influence Of Ii
quor will be admitted and IL any one
brings . bottle and gets intoxicated
during the game, the manse ement re.
serves the right to put him out and re.
fund his money. This will be done in
all cases of improper conduct. There
will be two officers on the grounds
during every game and order will be
maintained. These rules will be lived
up to and the management desires that
the public become acquainted with
them and act accordingly. Nothing
but clean sport will be had and the
promoters intend to adhere strictly to
the rules.
Tomorrow q scorers bench will be
cut in the grand stand for the official
scorer to sit. At present he has to sit
where be can find room. No arrange
ments have yet been made for the
press.
Manager jackson has received a tel
egram from Massaren, the Cincinnati
ball player, to the effect that he. will
arrive here tonight.
1t is reported that Sweeney and Nor
gan will be let out. The team will ar
rive home tomorrow when a shakeup
is expected.
King, the Evansville man, has tele-
graphed that he too will arrive to-
night. King is a fielder Of much abil-
ity and is said to be there with the
stuff"
