SENT GARFIELO'S REPORT.
President Transmitted to Congress
Results of Oil Inquiry.
secret Rebatcs-May Institute
Criminal Proceedings.

Washington. d. c. 40 President
Roosevelt Friday transmitted TO con-
gress the report Of James r. Car
field, commissioner Of corporations,
giving the results Of his investigation
Of the subject Of transportation and
freight rates in connection with the
oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the view that the report is Of
capital importance because Of the eff
fort now being made TO secure such
enlargement Of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate TO meet the
clearly demonstrated needs Of the
situation. That the Standard on
company has benefited enormously
up almost TO the present moment by
secret rates, many Of which were
clearly unlawful, the president says
the report clearly shows, the benefit
thereby secured amounting to at least
S750,00O a year. On this subject he
says.
This $4,000 represents the profit
that the Standard oil company obtains
at the expense of the railroads; but
OF ours the ultimate result is that
it obtains a much larger profit at the
expense Of the public.
a very striking result Of the investi-
cation has been that shortly after the
discovery Of these secret rates by the
commissioner OF corporations. the ma
jor portion OF them were promptly
corrected by the railroads. so that
most OF them have now been done
away with"
The statement is added that the
department OF justice will take up
the question Of instituting prosecu-
lions in at least certain of the cases.
Continuing. the president says:
But in addition TO these secret
rates the Standard OH profits I'm
mensely by open rates which are so
arranged as 20 give Il an overwhelm-
ing advantage over its independent
competitors.

CROKER DEFENDS TAMMANY
II Anything is Wrong With it, Then
Something is Wrong With the Peo-
Dle Themselves.

Dublin, October 24.-In the course
Of an interview published this evening
in The Telegraph Richard Croker, re-
ferring to Tammany Hail. and it's al
legged bad reputation, said:
''It is a case of giving a dog bad
name. If any one connected with the
organization however insignificant his
position, does anything dishonorab1e
Tammany is blamed.
'"The refOrmers never did anything
for New York. Mr.. Croker continued.
THE great bridges, the elevated rail-
roads, the public buildings and every
thing are the work Of Taamany. If
there was corruption why did not the
district attorney prosecute somebody? :?
Tammany Hall has succeeded entirely
on it's merits. 1t is the most demo-
cratic Institution in the world. If
anything is wrong with It, then some-
thing is wrong with the people them
selves.

TO OPPOSE PACKING COMPANIES
Plans Under Consideration by the
Farmers National Cooperative Con-
greSS.

Topeka, Kas, October 24.-Plans for
opposing the packing companies and
the fruit commissionA dealers are IN
der consideration by the Farmers Ma
tional Cooperative Congress. Two
schemes to be used to break the force
of the so-called packing trust have
been decided upon and probably will
be put into execution. One is that the
members of the farmers congress will
try to cure the majority of the meat
which they use themselves and will
also cure meats for the markets. The
other plan will be to have agents in
each county to handle all the stock of
the members and ship to another agent
at the market who will sell direct to
the packing houses There is no in
ng house. TOday's session was devot-
ed to general discussions of co-opera-
tive plans and much sentiment was
manifested in favor of government
ownership of railroads.
A resolution urging congress to take
steps to have the states as we'll as mo
nation adopt more stringent pure food
laws was passed.
A committee was appointed for the
purpose of formulating a uniform sys-
tenn of organization of cooperative
bodies. A merger is not contemplated
but it is proposed to have all cooper
ative societies work under the guild
ance of strong central organization.

FOR THE oELRICH MILLIONS
Wife and Son Of the Dead Man File
Objections to the Probate of the
VIII

New York, October 24.-Mrs. Her
man Oelrichs, of this city, today filed
an objection in court to the probate
Of the will of her late husband, Her
man OeIrichs. Her objection is based
on the ground that Mr. Oelrichs was
not a resident of New York but of
California. Mr.. Oelrichs left the bulk
Of his estate to his brother and sisters
Mr.. Oelrichs residence at the time of
Jr., through his guardian, Paul Kies-
man, also filed an objection to the
probate of the will on the same
grounds.
In the affidavit filed, Mrs Oelrichs
declares that at the time Of her hus-
bands death, he did not have d resi-
dence in New York. and she has no
knowledge or information sufficient
to form belief as to whether he died
leaving any property in the city Of
New York.
Hr. Oelrichs residence at the time of
his death was in San Francisco, the af-
fidavit continues, and he had in that
state property, ''and at the time of
decedent's decease, he left creditors in
the state of California, who are now
ceditors of his estate, and residing in
that state
The affidavit goes on to say that in
September Mrs. Oelrichs was appoint
ed special administratrix Of the estate
by the courts of California, and the
laws Of California are quoted to show
that upon the death Of husband, one
half of the community property shall
go to the surviving wife or widow
and the surviving widow cannot be de-
prived of such interest by testamentary
disposition.
The affidavit declares:\ ''That the
said Theresa Alice Oelrichs is the sur
viving widow of the decendent and
had her domicile in California for
many years and is therefore entitled
to receive one-half of the property
