BRIBEO RAILWAY CLERKS
This Is How Standard Oil Company
Learned of Independent Shipments.

Chicago, May 10.-Several letters
were read by Mr. Without, the witness
in the Standard Oil hearing in which
he was instructed to watch shipments
in his territory and report the name
of every customer of the Independent
concerns and the amount and quality
of oil received by him. He said that
he had bribed clerks in the offices of
the Rock Island. Santa Fe and Mis-
souri, Pacific to give him lists of ship
ments to the customers of independent
companies. He told also of bribing
teamsters in order to obtain informa-
ton.
s'Cyclinder oil is the most profitable
Sold" said the witness, and the Stand
ard Oil company dis1ikes to have any
Independent sell any of this grade. Our
instructions were that if we found a
competitor selling this oil in our terri
tory to cut the price so as to get the
orders and then substitute an inferior
grade of oil and guarantee it to be of
superior quality"
ibid you ever give short measure to
your custOmers?' asked Commissioned
Prouty.
wei, we did not call it that, replied
the witness. Il was frequently advised
by agents of the company that my
stock was not showing up as it should
and was told that it was a simple mat
ter to sell 205 to 208 gallons from a 200
gallon load of oil The company ex-
planned this by saying that the oil ex-

The Blikado's Mother.

The Japanese emperor is not, as
often stated, the son of the dowager
empress who died in 1897, writes Mary
Crawford Fraser in the May Worlds
Work. His mother, who still lives,
was the concubine of the Emperor
Komei. The peculiar constitution of
the japanese family gives very little
prominence to the maternal rights of
woman who occupies this subordinate
position Her child, although he may
be the heir of all his fathers honors,
does not reflect his glory upon her.
All his hlial love and respect must go
to the wife, whom he is taught to re-
gard as his true mother. In old times

that it has run along here for % years

favor the change. believe that more
