GARFIELD REPORT
IS MADE PUBLIC.
lisa Lengthy Document and Covers
the Ground Thoroughly.
Evidence AGAINST STANDARD

Washington, May 1.-THE full
report of Commissioner of Cor
porations Garfield, regarding the
Standard Oil and its relations to
railroads, of which a synopsis was
sent to conrgess May 4th, was
made public today. 1t was
delivered to congress with a for
NAL letter of transmittal from the
President, Without comment.
The document consists of 500
printed pages about a quarter of
a.milllon words-and presents in
detail the evidence of rebating
and secret ratings made by which,
among other means, the Standard
was enabled to crush competition
and pile up inordinate profits.
An interesting feature of the
report is a letter from Mr.. Gar
field replying to a statement issued
by Rogers and Archibald after
the publication of the original
summary. In this letter Mr..
Garfield takes up every point they
make. anG presents additional
evidence tending to make the case
against the Standard even stronger
than originally.
Mr.. Garfield, in referring to
their statement that there has
been no secret rates nor unlawful
discrimination in the interests of
the Standard" says: Attention
is called to their use in this con-
nection of state rates. for inter
state commerce.; of secret state
rates from Olean n. Y, on oil
O destined to Vermont, and from
Whiting, Ind. on oil destined to
st. Louis, many of which ship
ments continue without reloading
into the South west. Also to the
secret rate combination by way of
Alexandria, La. and by way of
Grand Junction, Tenn, and the
secret rates and direct rebates in
California. Regarding their state
ment of the failure of the New
England roads to prorate; that
was perhaps blama9le to the roads
and not to the Standard" He
further said that Representatives
