Mr. Garfield cites the fact that the New

only one which refused for itself and affili-
sted lines to give access to records of state
rates.
At the beginning Of the investigation. he
says the Standard Oil company denied that
It had obtained In recent years or was OBJ
tanning any rebate or other transportation
discrimination as against its competitors,
aud yet he says that a most careful review
~ the facts and the explanation leads to
the conclusion that the Standard oil COM
pany has habltually received from the rail-
roads, and Ia now receiving, secret rates

In 1904 these secret rates saved TO the

Completes with Railroads.
Similar Determinations in the mileage
allowance age practiced by some of the
transcontinental systems traversing the
northwestern states.
The advantages of the Standard Oil COM
pany would alone give II highly favor
able position in the oil industry. To a
certain extent natural policy of railroads
would be to neutraliZe these advantages
by giving favorable rates to the smaller
refiner. The STANDARD Oil company,
through its pipe lines and its fleets OF oil
carrying vessels, is an active and powerful
competitor of the railroads. Except in the
Texas and California fields IL has already
taken the transportation of crude oil almost
wholly away from rail carriers.
The general policy of the railroads with
regard to other freight traffic has been
to equalize conditions OF competition in
given markets by the use of commodity
rates, relatively more favorable to distant
producing points than to the nearer pro-
ducing points. But IL appears that in the
case of the oil industry, the policy has
been generally reversed and natural dis
advantages OF the independents have been
enormously increased.

NARROWING TALE.
Details of Thursdays Storm on the
Florida Keys as Told by Those who
Survived its Fury.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 22.-Surviv-
ors from one Of the house boats Of
the Florida East Coast Railway ex-
tension along the keys tell a harrow
ing tale of death and destruction
during the storm Of Thursday.
W. P. Dusenbery, civil engineer in
charge of the work on Long Key, who
miraculously escaped death, arrived
here on the Russian steamer Jennie,
among other survivors rescued. He
says house boat No. 4, on which were
$50 men, was struck by the storm
at o'clock Thursday morning and
was driven out into the Gulf through
Hawks Channel. At o'clock the
houseboat began to break up1 and as
the great waves hit her men, singly
anG in punches of two and three,
would be washed into the sea and
drowned. Some went below for pro-
lection, but when the top of the boat
was carried away the waves rushed
in and the boat soon went to pieces,
thirty or forty Of the men being
crushed to death in the collapse, the
other grabbing timbers to save them
from drowning. Engineer Dusenbery
was in the hold, but succeeded in
getting log and 1oated until Friday
night, when he was rescued.
On one piece Of timber sixteen men
were clinging and nine were hanging
to another. The side of the houseboat
was crowded with men. It turned
over three times, each time reducing
the number.
The Russian steamer Jennie sighted
the wreckage and succeeded in rescu-
ing forty-nine men, who were
brought here. Three other steamers
with search lights, were picking up
dead and alive men when the Jen-
ME left the scene.
There was another houseboat with
80 men on board at Loas Key which
Mr. Dusenbery thinks was also swept
to sea.
There We're in all ten boats at Long
Key, mortar mixers, dredgers and
other boats engaged in the work.
The survivors were furnished food
and clothing from the East Coast
Railway commissary here ana were
given medical attention.
The extension wori. Of the railway
along the keys was not damaged.

The standard Oil and the Law.

The chasm has at last been crossed,
and Standard Oil is formally declared
by process of law to be illegally en-
gagged in a conspiracy to control the
price of Illuminating oils and kindred
products much used by the people of
this country. This is the first formal
declaration of the kind recorded.
Trusts have been halted by the courts
in other lines of their procedure.
Railroads have been checked from CIV
ing rebates and from combining to
place tie shippers more completely at
their mercy. Other com binations deal
ing in commodities or services to the
public have been halted in their
progress toward absolute monopoly,
but it has remained for this proceed
ure in Ohio to place on record the
verdict of a large court that the mani
pulation of large number of osten-
sibly independent corporations by a
single concentrated interest, for the
purpose Of absolutely regulating the
price of necessity, is conspiracy in
the eye of the law, and as such is SUBJ
ject to severe penalty.
That the Standard Oil combination
will fight this verdict is the simplest
and speediest conclusion possible. 1t
must fight It's life depends upon an
overturning of the action and the ex-
punging OF the formal record. But
there is nevertheless reason for rejoic-
ing at the winning CT the first round
of this fight. The public must gain
something Immediately, and it may
gain much. 1t has at least learned
that there is vitality in the law and
the processes of it's enforcement. and
that the Federal Administration is
moving briskly and effectively to give
the statutes effect. - Washington

NEW INSECTS DISCOVERED.
500 New Species Found BY Beuten-
muller In the Black Mountains.

Curator William 3eulannuller Of
the department Of enton2o o!oSy Of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory has just returrta7 TON an eX
petition to the Black Mountains :,E
Western North Carolina, where he
obtained more than 5000 specimens.
He has discovered about 500 new
species Of insect life in the Carolina
mountains, which are entirely new
to science. Mr.. Beutenmuller has
made five or six previous expeditions
to this region.
Among the specimens obtained by
Mr.. Beutenmuller are hundreds Of
flies, wasps, bees, grasshoppers, drag
onf1ies, beetles, butterflies and moths,
tree crickets, and stone flies. Mr..
Beutenmuller was accompanied by
his wife, and at times they lived with
mountaineers, and on other occasions
they camped in the forest.
In speaking of the game of the
mountains, Mr.. Beutenmuller said:
I'm certain parts of the Smoky
Mountains wolves are found, and
hares and wild turkey abound. In
fact, we saw number Of these ami
mails on our expedition. While we did
not meet with any bear we saw bear
tracks frequently. Mink are about
extinct, though now and then one
runs across a panther.
Mrs. Beutenmuller made about
thirty water color sketches of the
Black Mountain region, which give
one an excellent geogra phical idea of
the country. The fishing is good in
the mountains, and among the vari-
cites noted by Mr.. Beutenmuller were
speckled trout in the mountain
streams, and also California trout,
which have been introduced there.
