TO REPORT ON S. P. G. a. AFFAIRS.
Committee Has Investigated Charges Of
Graft and Mismanagement

The board OF managers of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty Animals will hold special
meeting to-day to receive the report Of the COM
mittee appointed a week ago to investigate charges
Of graft and neglect of duty made against some OF
the society's employees.
The committee, consisting Of Richard Yelling
chairman: John H. Iselin and Henry Bergh. have
had only six days in which to complete their work.
but they have made the best of this short time
with the result that their report will be thorough
The members OF the committee met last evening
to finish the writing OF the report which they will
submit to the board.
The investigation committee occupies position
analogous to that Of the grand jury. and their re-
port will be in the nature Of an indictment, and
will place responsibility If the charges nvest-
gated have been substantiated. Whether not
the charges have been verified by the committee,
could not be learned last night. nor is 1t known
whether the board will make public the findings
of the Investigations
The board of managers viii also consider to-day
several important matters pertaining to the i'm
mediate and thorough reorganization of the society
Although the resignation OF John p Haines, as
president OF the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals rendered week ago, does not
take effect until May l, it is already recognized
that he no longer figures a potent factor In the
societys management. The board will hereafter
manage the affairs OF the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty TO Animals, and whoever succeeds
Mr.. Haines VIII be under its control The auto
cratic and secret policy is at end.

OIL MEN OUT OF mop"
j. d. Rockefeller, Jr., and E. p.
Prentice LeaUe Directorate.

John D. Rockefeller. jr.. and his brother-in-law
E Parmclee Prentice, resigned yesterday from the
directorate of the Missouri Pacific Railroad This is
the second important Gould property that the
Rockefeller interests have retired from In the last
few months. Some months ago four Standard Oil
representatives. Mr.. Rockefeller, jr, f. T. Gates,
Starr J. Murphy and Mr.. Prentice. resigned from
the directorate of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany.
Up to that time Colorado Fuel had been consid-
cred joint property of the Standard Oil and Gould
interests but the four successors elected TO take
the places vacated by Mr.. Rockefeller and asso-
ciates all friends OF George ]. Gould. The
offices OF the company moved from No 20
Broadway, the Standard Oil Company Building to
the Western Union Building in which the Gould
railroad Offices are located
The designations from the Missouri Pacific board
took place at the annual meeting OF the company
in St. Louis. S. Davies Waraeld. Ex-Governor Of
land. Gould property, and James Henry Smith
take the places Of Messrs. Rockefeller and Prentice
At the annual meeting Of the St. Louis Iron Noun
tain & Southern Railroad which is controlled by
the Missouri Pacific, General Louis Fitzgerald was
succeeded as a director by Benjamin Ncoll.
The withdrawal OF the Rockefeller interests from
TWO important Gould properties naturally to tho
report that some sort of a break had taken place
friend OF Mr. Gould said yesterday that the feeling
between the Goulds and the Rockefellers was Of
the best, ana that no quarrel Of any had taken
place
He believed. he said that the only reason for the
withdrawal Mr.. RoCkefellers continued poor
health, which, IL has been believed for some time
would eventually him retire from al! bust
ness activities his uncle. William Rockefeller.
has gradually been doing for the same reason. Mr.
Smith, who becomes director OF the Missouri
Pacific, is close personal friend of Mr.. Gould and
accompanied him on recent trip TO Mexico.

WON'T TELL OIL SECRETS.
Dir. HadIey Informed Company
viii Be Mute as Possible.

Kansas City No, March 1S.-The Standard
Oil Company, through Alfred d. Eddy of Chi
cago. its general Western attorney, has in effect
informed Herbert s. Hadley, Attorney General
Of Missouri who was in Kansas City to-day,
that II will give him no more information in his
suit to Dust the Standard and its allied COM
panies from the State of Missouri than it is COM
PEELED TO.
Mr. Hadley. in discussing the Standards posi-
ton, said to-day:
A week ago to-day, when the testimony Of
H. Clay Pierce was to have been taken before
Commissioner r. A Anthony. in st. Louis. Mr.
Eddy, attorney for the Standard oil Company,
told me there would be further resistance
on the part OF witnesses already subpRnaed in
New York TO answering the questions they had
previously refused to answer. l then suggested
10 Mr.. Eddy that if he would produce H. N. and
w H. Tilford and NJ. Van Beuren before Com
missioner Sanborn in New-York on March "a
application in the Supreme Court TO bring them
TO Missouri.
Mr.. Eddy promised to give an answer TO this
suggestion soon as he could consult his clients
in New-York He has informed he did not
feel authorized TO make this arrangement. Con-
seQuently, If service on them is not secured at
the time the taking of dispositions is resumed
In NewYork / will apply TO the Supreme Court
for order TO compel their appearance in Mis-
souri,.
The subpenaing of John d. Rockefeller did
not enter into the discussion with Mr.. Eddy.
We have been and are still endeavoring to Sc
cure service on him, but there other wit
nesses whose presence l am more anxious to
secure.

MAY CUT GAS DIVIDEND.
Consolidated Likely to Put Stock on 6 Per
Cent Basis.

A fnancier in close touch with the Consolidated
Gas Company says is practically certain that the
dividend will be cut within short time, perhaps
before the return of James Stillman from Europe.
The stock will probably be established on per
cent basis supplant the present rate of per
cent The dividend was cut from 10 per cent TO
per cent last year. The regular dividend meeting
OF the directors will be held the latter part of next
month. Certain large stockholders declare the re-
duction in the price of gas is more serious matter
than the general public appear TO realize They
say the statement that there will be comparatively
little change in the net earnings result OF the
reduction is pure surmise, and that the cut Will
make heavy inroads into the income.
Wen informed Wall Street men, who are not
holders the stock, assert, however that the com
pany will be able through economies and with me
Increase that must Of necessity take place in the
consumption of gas, to maintain its dividends II ~
desires to do so. reduction in the dividend Will
be little than BLUR to influence legislation
and attract public sympathy.

OIL METHODS DESCRIBED
Witness Testifes to System Of Brab-
ing Railroad Employees.

Kansas CITY. Mo, March 1S.-The Interstate
| commerce Commission resumed its hearing here
to-day in the investigation of charges of dis
elimination in railway rates on OIL filed by the
Kansas Oil Producers Association.
The testimony of E. T Mccarthy. Of the Mis-
sion Mining Company of QuaPaw' l. T. orouehl
forth two letters on oil rates. one from the
standard oil Company's office. at No &c Broad
way New-York. and the other from the St
louis & San Francisco Railroads general offices.
These letters were introduced in an attempt
TO prove that while the railway company
charged all others II cents for Transporting OH
from Neodosha to Baxter Springs, 1t charged
the Standard OIL Company only 61s cents Tor
the same haul. The correspondence also was
introduced to prove that while the Stahdari
secured a rate of 61a cents for transporting OIL
from Neodosha to Baxter Springs, distance
approximately of ffty-six miles. the railroads
charged in effect 1715 cents for haul OF SIX
miles further beyond the Kansas line.
E L. withoyt formerly an agent at Topeka.
Kans for the Standard Oil Company, but now
an independent dealer. said: The Standard
oil Company was charged SIS car by the Ter
minal Company in st. Louis, for Transporting
car from East St Louis H.. to st. Louis Mo.
To save this IS the Standard laid a pipe line
under the river, and every car of oil bound
westward would be pumped out in East 81
Louis and pumped into another car In St Louis
This SO a car was that much off the abllty
Of the independent dealer TO live in competition
with the Standard"
Mr. Wilthoyt said that while agent for the
Standard at Topeka he got information from
railroads to competitors shipments I was
allowed IS a month to spend with railroad en-
ployes in buying drinks and making myself a
good fellow he said and 1 was permitted to
give away oil and gasolene to railroad employees
and report such gifts as donations l was in
structed TO tell them that man could get sal
airy with the Standard greater than the Presi-
dent of the United States receives. This sys-
TEN of bribery was inaugurated by the Standard
Oil Company, and has been in vogue for years
Withoyt said that by keeping track of the
shipments made by its competitors the Standard
was enabled TO know the name of every dealer
who was buying oil from independents. 1t
enabled me" he said. "tO go to each of my COM
petitors and either tie him up to us with con-
tract or cut the price that he lost money on
the oil he received from independent refiners.

Whenever courts or the federal courts require

NO SUGAR TRUE BILLS.
March Grand Jury VIII Continue
ALLEGED Rebate Investigation.

The February Federal Grand Jury. which has
for several days past been listening TO the com
plants of William r. Hearst against the sugar re-
fners for alleged rebatng between the sugar trust
and the trunk line railways, was discharged
and paid off yesterday morning. Before the grand
jury was finally discharged it was understood that
they left a presentment with Justice Holt The
presentment is yet sealed, but it is hardly
thought that it is to do with the sugar rebating
matter.
1t is known that before its final adjournment the
grand jury listened witnesses, and the March
Federal Grand Jury will be sworn tomorrow, When
it is understood that it will take up ana continue
the investigation of the alleged rebating.
United States District Attorney Stimson declined
TO discuss the matter. but added that It would be
several weeks at least before he could say any
thing concerning the matter, indicating that 1t
will probably not be before that time that the
grand jury investigation will be completed.

STEEL PLANS UNCHANGED.
New-York Will Not Be Made Chief Shipping
Port.

New-York is not to be hereafter the chief port or
export for iron steel products, has been re-
ported An officer of the United States Steel Prod
ucts Export Company, which handles all the export
business of the United States Steel Corporation
says no new plan for handling shipments has been
made, and that none is contemplated.
The Steel Products Company makes most OF Its
shipments from Baltimore. owing in part to the
dierental rate in favor Of that city and to the ex
ceptional shipping facilities it possesses, 1t being
possible TO load direct from train, no nghterrlng
being necessary in the case of New-Hork Inc
point of export depends also on the class or goods,
where produced and the destination.
according to the Steel Products Company officer,
the proportion of the cOmpany's shipments from
NewYOrk will be no greater in the future than IN
the past.
