GARFELD'S KANSAS PLANS
In the Investigation of Standard Oil
Methods

James R. Garfield. commissioner of COR
porations. arrived in Topeka Kan. yes
terday. as announced in The Star of that
date, to begin an investigation of the OPP
erations of the Standard Oil Company in
Kansas.
The local situation is entirely unknown
to me aside from the knowledge l have
gained from the newspapers, said Mr.
Garfield to a newspaper reporter. What
we want first is facts about conditions here.
expect to make preliminary inquiries
among officials oil producers and any OFF,
GERS of the Standard Oil Company who can
furnish information that will be of assist
ance.
1.-The relation of the total production of
crude oil to the demand is naturally an
important matter in this investigation.
raised the cry of overproduction as de-
tense against the charges, and this claim
is one of the things that we shall go into
carefully 1t is not our intention to take
anything for granted.
.aTbere is one thing in connection with
an investigation of this character that
the public seems to overlook. The fact
that the profits resulting from a price fixed
through an agreement are small is not
material. The mere fixing of any price or
the attempt to fix any price through an
agreement is In violation of the antitrust
law.
'In the beef trust inquiry the Martin
resolution directed the department to
make an investigation regarding the prof
its of the packers. This was only part
of the ground covered by the investigation,
and the proof. or lack of proof, has no re-
Iation to a charge of violation of the law.
The same things could be true in the case
of the Standard.

Five Months in a Guatemala Jail.

Passengers from Guatemala, who arrived
at San Francisco yesterday on the City of
Sweeney. say that for five months a New
York attorney named Gardner has been
confined In the prison at Guatemala City
for alleged contempt of court. All efforts
to procure his release have proved futile,
owing. as is alleged. to opposition of Amer
lean Minister Leslie Coombs who is very
friendly with President Cabrera. The
American consul, Mr.. Winslow, has been
striving for Gardeners release Gardner
went to Guatemala to press certain claims
against the government growing out of the
violation of the terms of a concession He
