OIL HEARING
Testimony as to Methods Which the
SO-Cai1ed Trust o to Prevent
Competition and Drive it's Rivals Out
of Business.

Cleveland, May 24-In two protract-
led sessions today the interstate COM
merce commission, Members Prouty
and Clements in attendance, heard evi-
idence bearing upon the business meth
Eods of the Standard Oil Company. The
sessions were a continuation of the in
~vestigation adjourned in Chicago near
lly two weeks ago..
The hearing may be extended into
next week. Only four witnesses were
Examined today. Those who testified
Iwere F. E. WeStgate, of Titusviile,
Pa, treasurer and general manager
lOf the American Oil Works, State
Senator Louis Emery, of Bradfieid,
Pa, State Senator J. w. Lee. of Pitts
burg, and Frank B. Fretter, secretary
of the National Refining Company, Of
cleveland and president of the Ma
|tional Pipe Line Company, having sew
Ieral small pipe lines in Ohio oil fields.
The witnesses were allowed great
freedom in making statements and
they were only occasionally interrupt
ed by the Standard Oil Company's at
|torneys, Virgil P. Kline and F. H. Toll
lies. The commissioners ruling set
aside all the objections of the Stand
Eard's attorneys.
The commission was represented by
j. T. Marshand. as chief counsel and
former Attorney General of Ohio
Frank S. Monnet, a special counsel.
No decidedly sensational testimony
was produced but much of it related
Ito methods which the so-called trust
took to prevent competition and drive
tits rivals out of business. Much evil
Idence was offered showing that rail-
road companies took considerable part
lin aiding the Standard Oil Company
Ito fight it's rivals.
State Senator Emery, of Bradford,
Pa, told of the alleged spy system of
THE Standard to obtain information
concerning the business of rivals.
| He had a contest, he said, not nor
than a year ago, with the Pennsylva-
mia railroad. A field Of oil had been
found in the vicinity of SteubenvilIe,
lOhiO, and he obtained a rate of y cents
Ia hundred gallons to Bradford, Pa.
The rate was allowed for only a few
days, however, and was increased to
III cents. In investigating the matter,
jSenatOr Emery ascertained that the
Pennsylvania company had an oil COM
mittee created, he declared, at the in
Istnce Of the Standard Oil Company, to
thave entire charge of oil shipments.

he had invaded the general Office of

PASSES FREE ALCOHOL BILL
Senate Amendments Do Not Change
the Scope of the Measure-Agricul-
tural Appropriation Bill Taken Up

Washington, May 24.-After consid-
cradle debate the senate today passed
the bill relieving denatured alcohol
from the internal revenue tax, and then
took up the agricultural appropriation
bill, which was still under considera-
ton when the senate ADJOURNED. The
discussion of the alcohol bill turned
largely upon the effect Of the leg1sla-
ton on the manufacture of wood alco-
hol, which Senator Aldrich asserted
would be greatly injured
There was also considerable discus
sion OF the amendment authorizing the
purchase of samples of all serums and
anti-toxins for the cure of animals and
1t was denounced by Mr.. Hale as an
other step in the direction of p%aternal-
ism, which he deprecated in strong
language. Senator McCumber sup
ported the provision as in the interest
OF protection Of the public against poi
sonous and otherwise dangerous decoc-
tons. The amendment was agreed to.
In connection with the provisions
making an appropriation ito originate
crops by selection etc" Senator Hale
said this was an effort to improve on
nature n he congratulated Senator
Proctor in charge of the bill on getting
nearer the line Of absolute control by
the federal government than any one
else had ever gotten before"
The senate passed the so-called free
alcohol bill as it was reported from the
committee on finance. The bill has al
ready passed the house and the amend
ments which the senate has adopted do
not materially change it's scope. 1t
does not go into effect until January /,
1907.

against union by two commissioners.

resolution, and called for the afirma-
tive vote, 10 be expressed by the COM
missiouerS rising [ other feet. In
stantly the assembly hall was convert
ed into a stamping, cheering crowd.
AS h handclapping and cheering died
down and the commissioners took thaI-
seats, the moderator said:
All who are Of the opinion that the
motion should not prevail will please
rise"
To the establishment of all present,
two commissioners rose TO their feet.
Pandemonium broke loOS" and il WAS
feared for an instant indignity would
be offered the lonely men who OPP
posed the union. One of The men was
