 Cost of Big Trusts
 Properties

Chicago, December 31.-(Special)- J. Raymond" the Washington eorrespon- dent of the Chicago Tribune, sends this dispatch from Philadelphia:
 There never was better name for the Standard oil company than "The sys- tenn for system it certainly is in the full extent of the word.
 The investigation into it's methods by agents of the United States government has developed series of extraordinary complications in it's business manage ment. When the report of Commissioner Garfield is made public it will disclose the existence of a bewildering number of corporations, societies, and associations, all of them organized in the interest of the Standard oil company but many of them masquerading under curious local titles.
 The government investigation has shown that Rockefellers, Rogers, and other masters of the Standard oil sell dom appear personally in any transaction. They have created a network of com- panies, one dependent upon the other, but all working toward a common end, which is the enrichment of the already rich oil magnates
 Even the most patient inquiry by the government secret service officers has failed to unravel the complete tangle of these affiliated companies Almost every state has a separate corporation of It's own, and in many cities there are indi- vidual companies also. These concerns overlap each other, so that 1t has been extremely difficult for the agents of the government to secure actual evidence of the operations of the great Standard oil company itself.
 Big Men May Escape.
 It may In the long run be impossible to attack the real heads of Standard Oil, because as I have said, they act through such indirect means. There is, it has been discovered, the original holding company organized under the laws of New Jersey the state which Is owned body and soul by the great corporations, and which licenses a corrupt insurance company or a desperate oil combination with equal indifference In this New Jersey holding company there are said to be interested only the men who ac- tually control Standard Oil They are the big fellows. and the New Jersey corporation is the one which handles the ultimate profits of the system throughout the country.
 Other companies pay toll into this great funnel, and into It's treasury is poured all the extraordinary profits which the oil business of the United States, under the monopolistic control of the System" has been able to produce.

"Across the Pacific"

Charles k. Blaney's military play Across the Pacific" comes to the Bijou this week. opening the engagement with a special matinee this afternoon.
 Across the Pacific" Is a melodrama of the tra-sensational type, with thrills in every act and with the smell of gum powder permeating the play. It tells an interesting love story, and it appeals to the spirit of patriotism.
 The dock scene, showing the departure of the transport City of Pelain" loaded down with Uncle Sam's soldiers. bound for the Philippines Is most realistic. Then there is battle scene in the Philippines, showing small body of United States troops defending Block House No. against the enemy. This is where the real Gatlng gun is used. When the smoke of battle clears away, the Stars and Stripes are seen flying in the breeze.

Kyrle Below. the English actor, Is. of course. well known in romantic roles. but he is something of novelty in the up-to- date dress of a modern play such as Rallies, the Amateur Cracksman," in which he will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday His friends, how ever, have found him graceful, hand some and magnetic in the conventional dress coat of the twentieth century as he was in the cloak and buskins of the fifteenth or sixteenth. Of his play it need only be said that 1t is one of the best of it's class, if not the very best that has yet been seen. It is full of thrilling cpl sodes, appealing sentiment and clever comedy.

David Harum."

An attraction that has had success throughout the country is the dramatiza- ton of David Harum." The drawing powers of this play are said to be ex- traordinary, and 1t is neither hard nor difficult to understand why. Westcott's book appealed to all classes of people who had any sense of humor, and it's readers possibly number several millions. It stands to reason that a good play made out of this book would enjoy suc- cess commensurate with the success of the story. From reports more than a good play was made out of the book It will be presented at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight
 The company, it Is said. is headed by Comedian Harry Brown. The play con- tains all of the good things which made the book so entertaining, including the horse trade with Deacon Perkins. The comedy is in three acts, and in one of its scenes the deacon is shown behind the sbalky horse in a shower of rain.

proposed railroad rate legislation because it does not specifically put oil pipe lines under the control of the interstate com meree commission There is, of course, a question as to whether this can be done. The pipes of the Standard Oil company are not common carriers. They are not above ground in most cases, but they must cross public highways underground and for that reason 1t Is believed a state of federal franchise can be devised which will render the Standard Oil pipe lines subject to reasonable control. Unless that is done it is hard to see how the "sys- tenn can be brought under the direct control of the federal government.
