New York, April III. H. Rogers
vice president and director Of the
Standard Oil Co.. made a statement
as to the conduct Of the Standard Oh
Co.. which was evidently prompted by
the criticism Of the prudential com

Of his church because they would
surely break some of them and bend
the rest.
Rebates on railroads were just as
legal until the passage Of the inter.
state commerce commission act. Aft
er an exhaustive examination by the
industrial commission. authorized by
congress June 1S, 1898, in a review
of evidence, the commission reported
as follows: 1T has been charged as a
matter of general belief on the part
of almost all the opponents Of the
Standard Oil Co. that these discrimi
nations in various forms have been
continually received, even up to date
On the other hand, these charges have
been denied in toto and most emphat
ically by every representative Of the
Standard Oil Co. with reference to all
cases excepting one. which they claim
was a mistake. the amount of freight
due being promptly paid on discovery
Of the error. The Standard Oil Co
not merely challenged the opponents
to bring forth proof of any case, but
produced many letters from leading
officials of railroads to show that the
company had in no case received any
fayors or asked for them"
It became known here that prior to
the final action by the prudential eon'
mittee of the American board of com.
missioners of foreign missions in &C
ccpting the 100000 gift rendered by
John d. Rockefeller, number Of,
prominent members of the board al
a meeting held in this city considered
the matter at length. AS result the
parties to the conference issued
statement in which they declare that
they did not consider that the accept.
ance of the gift would compromise the
board in any way.
