Lawyer Oodd, Chief Attorney for
the Oil Trust, Issues a
Statement,
RAILROADS, GAS AND COPPER
Mr.. Dodd Denies that the Standard
Owns Any Railroad Stock, or that
John D. Rockefeller Was an
Organizer of the Gas and
Copper Combines.

New York, April IS. c. r. Dodd
chief solicitor of the Standard Oil Co,
gave out statement yesterday with
reference to the recent discussion as
to the acceptance of a gift of 500, 900
offered by John d. Rockefeller for
missionary work Mr.. Dodd declares
that the statement that Mr. Rockefel-
Ter made his money dishonesty, is
false, is vile and, being made by min
listers in the pretended interest Of
morality, is doubly vile"
Mr.. Dodd then says that the Stand
ard Oil Co does not own a share Of
stock of any railroad company, does
not control any railroad company, and
that since the enactment of the inter
state commerce law has not received
lower rates than other shippers by re
bates arrangements, devices or plans
of any character. The testimony Of
Howard Page, freight agent of the
Standard Oil Co., before the industrial
commission is quoted in this connec-
ton. With reference to gas and cop
per companies, Mr.. Dodd says:
mo doubt many have been preju-
diced against Mr. Rockefeller by
sensational writer's, whose articles ac-
companied by portraits and caricatures
are intended to create the impression
that Mr.. Rockefeller was principal in
the affairs relating to the organization
of the gas and copper companies, al
though no fact showing such connec-
tion is stated. The Standard Oil Co.
has already denied that it had any
connection or interest directly or in
directly in the organization of these
corporations. and on the best author
ity the same denial is now made for
John d. Rockefeller"

NEW SENATOR OF MISSOURI
An Omen Of Fourth Victory for Re
publicans and the Roosevelt
tian Policy.

The outcome of the long struggle over
the Missouri senatorship is so wholly
satisfactory from every point of view
that republicans-"Ro Roosevelt republi-
cans everywhere will gladly forget
the disgraceful scenes of selfishness and
bargaining among other candidates
which preceded it-and which threat
ened a national disappointment-a
they congratulate one another, the win
ner, and the state he is TO represent.
Maj. William Warner is a typical old
line Lincoln republican, says the st.
Paul Pioneer-Press. born.
he won his military title by four years
service in the war for the union in the
Thirtythird and Forty-fourth Wiscon-
sin regiments. Since the war he has
been one of the most active among the
men who have led the political thought
of Kansas City and represented the best
aspirations of Missouri republicanism.
He has served as city attorney, circuit
attorney, and United States district at
torney; as mayor and as a member of
congress for two terms. In 1892 as the
republican candidate for governor, he
made a canvass which attracted nation
al attention and which put the democ-
racy on its mettle to defeat him. In
every position he has won honor; from
each he has retired poor Corporations
and combines have never been able TO
use" him. President Roosevelt will
find in him staunch supporter; which
would not have been the case, in railroad
or antitrust legislation, had either Me
dringhaus or Kerens been elected.
Maj. Warmers election will unity the
republican party in Missouri and bring
to naught the democratic hopes based
on the acrimonious contest just ended.
1t VIII help cure the recalcitrant atti-
tude of the senate toward the sentiment
which swept Theodore Roosevelt into
the presidency last November by such
an unprecedented majority 1t is an
omen of further victory for the Roose-
veltian policy.

To Banish Sea Sickness.

Bright red spectacles. accompanied

new German specific against sea-sick-
ness. 1t is deducted from Epstein's S
Investigations on the influence of color
on the blood vessels in the brain.
Sea sickness is due TO lack of blood
in the brain, while red sends blood
to the brain with a rush BY looking
at one point for some time through
the red glasses the patient is rapidly
cured.

THE SHADOW OF TERRORISM
1t Hangs Over Russia Like a Black
cIoud-A General Uprising Is
Expected Soon.

st. Petersburg April 6.-The pros
poets of a general upheaval Of the
city and country with the advent of
spring increase daily. Evidence ac-
cumulates that the radical forces are
acting in unison and awaiting a signal
which it is generally believed will be
given shortly after the Russian Easter.
The Terrorists are showing great ac-
tivity and reports from all over the
country prove that the workmen, who
in many cases have been formulating
petty demands which are no sooner
granted than they are succeeded by
others, are acting under instructions
from the revolutionary leaders, who
are only biding their time. The en-
ployers say that it is impossible to
continue their businesses and some of
them have shut down. The people are
plainly becoming panicky and the au-
tnorities cannot conceal their alarm.
Warsaw, April G.-In anticipation
of the funeral of a girl who died of
wounds received in the fighting in
Dzika street on Sunday, the workmen
of all the factories in the northern
part of the city left their work yester-
day afternoon and crowded Elekoralna
and Leszno streets. The police, fear
ing a hostile demonstration, forbade
the funeral and summoned Cossacks,
who, using their knouts and swords
freely, succeeded in dispensing the
gathering.
The police and military made a fur
ther house to house visitation in the
suburb of Wela Tuesday night, where
they arrested IA persons and discov-
cred great quantities of revolutionary
proClamations.
Harbin, April G.-Complete returns
received at headquarters give the to-
tai Russian losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners at the battle of Mukden
as 100000. The wounded are being
taken away from here over the Siberi-
an railroad as rapidly as possible in
order to free the hospitals prepara-
tory to a renewal of fighting.

HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE.
Light on the Recent Selection Chair
man New for National
Position.

Probably a great deal more impor-
tance is attached to the new selection
for acting chairman of the republican
national committee than it deserves
Chairman Cortelyou has named Harry
S. New, Of Indiana, for acting chairman.
Mr.. New has been more or less prom
inent in the politics of the HoOsier
state for a score of years. He has
been the states representative on the
national committee since 1900. He
was made a member of the executive
section of the committee in 1900 by
Chairman Hanna, which was some
thing of distinction for new member
OF the national organization.
1t has been imagined, says the St.
Louis GlobeDemocrat, that Chairman
Cortelyou's selection of his acting sue
cessOr would reveal the adlninistra-
tion's preference for the presidential
candidacy of 1908 AS a consequence
the choice was awaited with much in
terest by the country. Now that it has
come, it is hard to see that it has much
significance. 1t has been said that Vice
President Fairbanks, thinking there
was possibility of the choice of New
worked against the selection. New
and Fairbanks are not harmonious. 1t
is said that New is against the idea of
the Fairbanks candidacy for 1908, and
that he wants Beveridge or somebody
else to get it.
But this will not have the slightest
influence on the chances of any of the
aspirants 1t is not the business of the
head of the national committee to
work for or against any particular per-
sonage except as he does so as a Uri-
vate person. He has no right to use
the influence of his Office for or against
anybody in the national convention.
The chairman of the committee is to
work for republican success, no matter
who is the party standard bearer. The
chances are that the chairman, whether
he be Mr. New or somebody ese-for
the New selection is but temporary,
and is to last only until the committee
makes a choice OF chairman-will
recognize the proprieties sufficiently to
keep his hands off the matter of the
nomination. There must be free field
for all the aspirants. The man who
secures the favor of the majority of
the republican voters is the man who
will be chosen to lead the party in
1908.

Stands for the Open Door.

Washington, April G.-Germany yes
terday clearly outlined to the United
States her Moroccan policy. Acting
under instructions from Berlin, Won
Speck Sternburg, the German ambas-
sador, called at the war department
and left with Secretary Taft a memo
randum to this effect: Germany stands
for the open door in Morocco as in the
far east and for the preservation of
the status quo, and for the safeguard
ing of the commercial and trade inter
ests not only of Germany, but of all
trading nations of the world.

The contention of the tariff revisers
that the present schedules oppress the
commercial development of the country
is not borne out by statistics. In 1896.
when the present tariff was adopted,
our exports of domestic manufactures
amounted to $177.S00,969. Since then
they have increased year by year until
in 1903 they reached in value the
amount of $421.453.9l5. The report for
the calendar year of 1904 has recently
been compiled and it appears that the
amount increased TO $500, ,764. .729. Such
a showing makes cOgent argument in
favor of the let-well-enough- alone pol
icy.-Pittsbure Gazette.

San Francisco, April Blood
