 out at the close of the meeting of the directors:
 ''The board Of directors after full dis cussion unanimously adopted the amended charter approved at the meet ing with the superintendent of insur- ance, the amendment being:
 ''The board of directors shall continue to be divided into four. classes of 13 each For the purpose of effecting more speedily the change from a board elected entirely by stockholders to a board elected partly by stockholders and partly by policy holders, it is here- by provided that the terms of office of the directors heretofore elected for the terms ending December 31, 1905, and December S1, 1906. shall expire on the 31st of December, 1905, and the suc- cessors of such directors shall be elect ed on the first Wednesday, in the month of December. 1905, and the terms of office of the directors heretofore elected for the terms expiring December 31, 1907, and December 31, 1908, shall expire on the 3lst day of December, 1906, and the successors to such directors shall be elected on the first. Wednesday in the month of December, 1906. At such elections the successors to the class of l905 shall be elected to hold office for three years, the successors to the class of 1906 to hold office for four years the successors to the class of 1907 to hold office for four years, and the success ors to the class of 1908 to hold office for five years; thus producing gour classes of directors of 13 each whose terms of office will expire respectively in the years 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911. In the election of each of said classes six of the vacancies shall be filled by a plu- ralIty vote of the stockholders and seven of the vacancies shall be filled by plurality vote of policy holders, both stockholders and policyholders voting by ballot in person or by proxy as hereinafter provided.
 "A resolution was unanimously adopt ed that committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Depew, Belmont and Krech, be appointed 8 committee of the board to consult with the superintendent of insurance after the amended charter shall have been approved by him, and with the policy holders committee of which John D. Crimmins is chairman, and to report to this board at an ad- journed meeting thereof upon the fol- lowing subjects, to wit:
 ''O The suggestion that the two ex- isting vacancies in the board of direc- tors shall be filled by persons whose names shall be proposed by the policy holders committee.
 "(2) The suggestion that the two di- rectors thus elected on the nomination of the policy holders committee shall be made members of the executive committee of this board.

years has been obtained oil would sim ply have been impossible had not ship pers forced the railways to reduce their rates, which they did, first by rebates ane later by open schedule.
 The system of rebates has happily received the condemnation of law. The Standard welcomed the change as beneficial one. But to say now that it should not have obtained the best rates under the old system which its position enabled it to obtain is an impossible counsel of perfection.
 The evidence before the industrial commission shows very clearly to any ,unprejudiced mind that since the enact ment Of the interstate commerce law the Standard has obeyed it in every particular. The evidence of the Stan dard managers and freight agents was corroborated by the certificates of man. agers and freight agents of all the lead ing railways of the United States, to the effect that by no rebates, arrange ments, devices or plans of any charac- ter has the Standard received less rates than other shippers. ...
 N Ao U uS lIleLt elllSSdttouS u lAe C0tl- trary were made before the commission, but these were founded upon surmisa and were not sustained by proof. Neith- CT did the commission find them to be true. Any candid man who will read the evidence must be satisfied of the truth of the facts sworn to by the Stan dard Oil company, corroborated as they are by the officers and agents of the railroads themselves. ,
 Those who contend that the Stan dard has been built up by means Of railway disoriminations wilfully shut their eyes to the real causes of the Standards success. and are poor stu dents of the problem of modern indus trial combinations. @
 If this. the only specific allegation made against John D. Rockefeller, is proven to be false, it should make the public, and particularly the religious

 given the reading people of this coun- try the materials for a Judgment upon | the methods of Standard Oil, and there never was d day when their minds were as clear on this subject as they
 are noW.' Then follow the specifiea- tion. MT. Rockefeller may deny taat rebates are now given to the Standard,
 but the Standard now controls about two-thirds of the, railroads of this country and its power is exerted in es- tablishing classification of ffeights in such a way that it can kill competition. Rebates are no longer necessary" s; "The assertion is not true. No such state of facts ihas ever been disclosed by any investigation nor supported by evidence in any court of law. No such facts exist to be proved. The Standard
 Oil company does not own a share of
 stock of any railroad company, nor
 does it control any railroad company.
 Stockholders os the Standard undoubt- edly invest in railroad as in other
 shares, but stockholders of the, Stand
 ard are not majority on the board or
 directors of any railroad company, so far as am aware, and therefore can. not control.
 'The question of railway rebates and Standard control of railways was irl- |vestigated by the United States indus trial commission in 1900, and they re- ported no such facts. Members of the
 Standard and of the railways were ex- anined in relation to these subjects. It was shown that prior to the enactment of the interstate commerce law the re- bate system was universal. Railroads
 made their nominal rates higher than they expected to obtain from regular shippers, and the amount of actual
 freight to be paid was a matter of cor- tract. 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 sub-
 hitting to it. Like all other shippers, it made the best terms it was able to make with the railroads. Its refineries were located at points where it could take advantage of railway competition. 1t also stroVe to give equivalents for reductions in freight. It shipped not only carloads, but trainloads. It pro- vided terminal and other facilities, and assumed all risks of loss. Public opirl- ion, more enlightened in these days than in those, may have have discov- cred that this was all wrong; but at that time the business man who did not accept that method would better have closed his shop.
 ''The stories told of the immense ag- gregate of the rebates paid to the Stan- dard were shown by that investigation to be untrue. A large portion of the rebates paid were not discriminatory. They were paid to all shippers who shipped exclusively by rail. It was im- possible for any shipper to know with certainty what rates his competitors were paying. The Standard often found that it's competitors had been paying less rates than it paid. Furthermore, the public obtained the advantage of the low rates received. A reduced price for refined oil kept pace with reduction of rates. whethfer this reduction was by way of rebates or otherwise. And the price at which the public for many

 "(5) The suggestion. that four vacan-' cies be created in the executive eon-

 Resolved, That a committee of sev- en, consisting of Messrs. Bliss, Mills, Prick, Hartman, Ives, Hill, and h. gals, be appointed, charged with the duty of thoroughly Investigating and reporting upon the present manage ment of the society. ...
 And the president was requested to call further meeting of the board upon the request of either of these committees. 5,a .-.5 T
 Speeches were made by James J. Hill, Melville B. Ingalls, John E. Stew art, Charles Stewart Smith, Brayton Ives, T. Dewitt Cuyier and others in sisting upon a cessation of the entire controversy, and of the use of the press, which is so injurious to the com- pany. That while ill the charges and counter charges these was no question as to the solvency of the company, or its large surplus above all liabilities, or the soundness of it's investments, the controversy was creating vide spread distrust, and doing great injury to all life insurance companies; and that the committee of the board should and would so probe and as a re- suit of their investigation so recom- mend as to justify confidence in the company and it's management.
