statelnent of Dir. Dodd.

Mr. Dodd's statement says:
stockholders of the Standard Oil
Company undoubtedly invest i'm rail-
road as in other shares; but stock
holders of the Standard are not ma
iority on the board of directors of any
railroad company, so far as l am
aware and therefore cannot control.
THE question of railway rebates
and standard control Of railways was
investigated by the United States IN
dustrial Commission in 1900 and they
reported no such facts Members of
thesStandard and of the railways were
examined IN relation to these subjects.
1t was shown That prior to the enact
ment of the Interstate Commerce law
the rebate system was universal. Rail-
roads made their nominal rates higher
than they expected to obtain from
regular shippers, and the amount of
actual freight to be paid was matter
of contract. Each shipper made the
best terms he could. The Standard
did not invent this system; it found it
existing and could not do business
without submitting to it. Like all
other shippers, it made the best terms
ii was able to make with the railroads.
It's reiineries were located at points
where it could take advantage of rail-
way competition. 1t also strove to
give equivalents for reductions in
freight. 1t shipped not only carloads,
but train loads. 1t provided termilietl
and other facilities, and assumed all
risks of loss. The stories told of the
immense aggregate OF the rebates paid
to the Standard swere shown by that
Investigation to be untrue. A large por-
ton of the rebates paid were not dis
criminatory They were paid to all
shippers who shipped exclusively by
rail.
ssTha standard often found that its
competitors had been paying less rates
than it paid. Furthermore the pub
lie obtained the advantage of the low
rates received, whether this reduc-
ton was by way of rebates or other
wise. And the price at which the pub

tai Zen.
(By the Associated Press

New York, April 6.-S. c.. Il. Dodd,
chief solicitor of the Standard Oil
Company, gave out a statement today
with reference to the recent discus
sion as to the acceptance of a gift
of 500, 900 offered by John ID. Rookie
Teller for missionary work. Mr.. Dodd
declares that the statement that Mr..
Rockefeller made his money dishon-
estly, sis false, is vile and being made
, by ministers in the pretended interest
of morality is doubly vile" Mr. Dodd
then says that the Standard Oil Com
paHy does not own q share of stock
of any railroad company, does not
control any railroad company and that
since the enactment of the Interstate
Commerce law, has not received lower
rates than other shippers by rebates,
arrangements, devices or plans of any
character. The testimony of Howard
Page, freight agent of the Standard
Oil Company, before the Industrial
Commission, is quoted in this connec-
ton. With reference to gas and cop
per companies, Mr.. Dodd says:
NO doubt many have been pre-
JUDGED against Mr.. Rockefeller by SEN
sationa1 writer's, whose articles accom-
panied 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-
ton is stated. The Standard Oil Com
pany has already denied that it had
any connection or interest directly or
indirectly in the organization of these
corporations and on the best authority
the same denial is now made for John
ID. Rockefeller. He had no connection
with nor interest in, directly or indi-
rectly, the organization of these cor
nncafio1lc
