Chicago, May -. - Corruption of
railroad employees and agents of in
dependent oil companies, dishonest
methods of procuring land leases, the
giving of short measure and the sell
ing of three different kinds of oil out
of the same tank and misrepresenta-
lions as to the quality of the oil sold,
were charged against the Standard
Oil Company at it's hearing before the
interstate commerce commission.
Incidentally, it was charged that the
Frisco road gives rate of 2 cents a
hundred to the Standard Oil Company
when it charges competitors of that
corporation ten times as much for the
same haul The inquiry was held I'M
der an order of congress and this ses-
sion held here was along the same
lines as that held some time ago in
Kansas City.
The principal witness was E. M.
Without, of Springfield, Mo-. 1t was
he who made the charges Of bribery
and dishonesty against the company
and said that the Frisco road discrim
mated in favor of the Standard Oil
Company Other witnesses for the
day were H. c. Deran, of Fremont,
O.; E. P. Ripley, president of the
Atchison, Topeka G. Santa Fe road,
and M. Maxon, former agent OF the

METHODS OF STANDARD
OIL COMPANY EXPOSED

Standard Oil Company in Illinois. The
last witness gave testimony which in
many instances was the same as that
given by Mr.. Without.
The first witness was E. M. Without,
now an Independent oil operator, but
ten years ago an agent of the Stand
ard Oil Company. He testified that
while in the employ of the Standard
Oil Company he had, in following out
the instructions of his superior Of
ficers, bribed clerks in the offices of
railroads and employees of Independent
oil concerns in order to obtain infor-
nation of the details of the business
done by the rivals OF the Standard Oil
Company. He declared that agents
of the Standard Oil Company are held
personally responsible for all oil sold
in their territory by independent COM
panies and that the drivers of tank
wagons are expected to keep up their
stock by selling $50 to POS gallons
from a wagon load of 200 gallons. He
said that the actual tests OF the pro-
ducts of the Standard Oil Company to
determine the quality are carefully
guarded and that when it was found
necessary to cut the price to meet the
figure of a competitor cheaper
quality of oil was substituted and
guaranteed to be of higher grade
than it really was.

AFTER THE RAILROADS.
WYANDoTT COUNTY APPEALS TO
RAILWAY ASSESSORS.

Topeka, May 10.-Representatives
of Wyandotte county appeared before
the board of railway assessors and
asked that the valuation of railroad
property there be increased. 1t
is contended by A. ]. Huffman, asses
scr at Kansas City, Kas., and the coun-
ty officials of Wyandotte, that the
railroads do not pay their share OF
the taxes and the state board is de-
pended upon to make the necessary
increase. The board has taken the
request under advisement and prob
ably will make an investigation
Four of the private car companies
through their attorneys have asked
that their assessments in the state
be reduced. Representatives Of the
Swifts, the Armcurs, the Continental
Fruit Company and the Western Cattle
Car Company appeared before the
board today and asked that the valu-
alton of their cars be reduced from
$500 to 5000 a car. The representa-
tives of the companies intimated that
they may fight the assessment in
court unless the valuation be reduced,
On a valuation Of 800 last year the
Armours paid a tax of $1,05S. The
other companies paid smaller amounts
and they say that this is too much to
pay in taxes for the number of cars
they operate.
The law under which the assessment
of private car companies is made is
not clear and the board may decide
that it is best to make the reduction
demanded at this time and to ask the
next legislature to enact law which
will work.

Cleveland, May 12.-The schooner
Algeria sunk about two miles off the
harbor of Cleveland and possibly
three men lost their lives.
The schooner Iron Queen is in a
sinking condition outside the break
water and the crew of eight men was
taken off by the members of the life
saving crew.
The storm with the heavy sea it
kicked up was a menace to shipping
outside the harbor. The big steam
ers that had been tied up there by the
strike came inside the breakwater,
but the small schooners could not get
in. Signals of distress came to the
life saving station and Captain Mot
ley of the life saving crew went out
to the Iron Queen, rescuing the eight
members of the crew with difficulty.

General Ellis says that though the
Standard Oil trust, in obedience 10
decree of the supreme court of Ohio,
reorganized in 1899, cancelling the
trust certificates then outstanding
and putting all the property they
represented in the hands of the Stan
dard Oil Company of New Jersey, it
has continued to violate the Valen-
tine-Steward antitrust act just as be-
fore. In that reorganization, he says,
it incorporated the department of the
business separately. The Buckeye
Pipe line company, he says, does all

lutely fixes the price of crude oil.
Independent companies run their bids
up or down with the Standard price.
but by organizing fake" or pirate"
companies the Standard manages to
drive OUT competition without chang

would be disastrous to the Standard

GUARD CARS ROUTE.
THE POLICE ARE PREPARING FOR
GREAT EVENT.

St Petersburg, May 10. = Although
there are few surface indications OF
the fact that an earnest duel is in pro-
gress between the police and the ter
rorists and revolutionists who are
thronging to the capital alert for any
opportunity to strike Emperor Nicho-
las or other marked men among tho
officials gathered here for the open
ing of the national parliament, pre-
cautionary measures on an extensive
scale have been taken. The police
have been reinforced by the keenest
men from interior cities. The rail-
roads are being watched most dill
gently, but a search Of the baggage OF
three members of the lower branch
of the parliament was the only public
incident in campaign today, by which
several terrorists were so quietly
bagged that the general public was not
aware of the arrests.
In order to safeguard the Emperor
in his passage up the river on Thurs
day. the time of his arrival and depar-
ture is being kept dead secret. The
Nicholas palace bridges, through the
draws of which the imperial yacht
must pass, will be closed to traffic
from daylight of Thursday until the
departure of the Emperor. The gener-
al public will not even be admitted
to long distance view Of the yacht
from the palace of the admiralty. or
the quays lining the river front, ad-
mission to which and to the palace
square will be by ticket only. The
project of police. in an order issued
today. which is worded, in contrast
with former notifications, in the most
polite terms, asks the public to keep
moving while in the streets and con-
cludes that, "In order to avoid en-
counters which might cast a shadow
over the solemnity Of the proceedings
any demonstration will not be per
mitted."

SH0NTS HEARD FROM.
REPORT OF iSTHMIAN CANAL
COMMISSION SUBMITTED.

Washington, May 10.-W. P. Shonts,
chairman of the Isthmian canal COM
mission, in report made to the sec.
rotary Of war, says the most impor-
tant question before the commission
today is a decision in regard to the
type of canal.
"Chief Engineer Stevens pointed
out to me-" he says, "the route of
several diversion channels, the con.
struction of which should be under
way, but which he cannot commence
until the type of canal is decided up.
on. We have also in mind certain
other intermediate yards we cannot
locate until that decision is reached.
We are also holding back the improve
ments at La Boca (the Pacific termi-
nus), both as to terminal yards and
the extension of the steel pier al
ready referred to, not knowing wheth-
er or not the type decided on will
cause us to abandon all these improve
mentS. The extent and character of
additional machinery to be used, as
well as the extent and character of
additional equipment to be purchased,
are all awaiting the determination of
this most vital question, and inasmuch
as all this machinery and equipment
must be manufactured to order in the
United States, and manufacturers in
almost every branch are filing their
books with orders months ahead the
delay in reaching a decision as to type
may mean a very serious delay in
getting the necessary plant, and thus
ultimately mean serious delay in the
construction of the canal"
