REPORT GIVES PROOF.
Career Of Standard Oil Put in Bad
Light by Garfield.

WASHINGTON, May An summa-
rizing his report Commissioner Gar
field speaks of his personal visit 10 the
oil fields and OF the great mass Of data
obtained by him either personally or
through agents of the bureau of cor
porations. The preliminary study OF
this was transportation, which enters
so largely into the cost of the finished
product and hence a most important
factor in competition.
has Complete Control.
Taking up the subject OF the output
of refined OIL Mr. Garfield finds that
II amounts to about 26. 000 900 barrels
annually. OF which the Standard oil
company directly and indirectly con-
trolls about $4,000. 900 and approximately
the same proportion Of the other fin-
shed products of petroleum. Continu-
ing, the report says;
By Unfair Means.
The Standard claims that the loca-
ton OF its refineries and the use OF
pipe lines are natural advantages to
which it Is justly entitled by reason of
the energy and foresight OF It's mana
gers. While In a measure that is true.
II must not be forgotten that these ad-
vantaees were in part obtained by
means of unfair competitive methods

DETERMINATIONS in the transporta-
tion OF oil embrace a variety of forms

'3. Determinations in clasSiiication
and rules OF shipment
Il. Determinations i'm treatment OF
private tank cars"
Regarding discrimination In the open
arrangement or rates, Commissioner
Garfield declares:
Different methods are used In diff
ferent places and under different con-
ditions, but the net result is that from
Maine TO California the general ar
rangement of open rates on petroleum
oil is such as to give the Standard an
unreasonable advantage over It's COM
petltors.
The conclusion is unavoidable that
the Standard Oil company has had an
important voice in the construction of
such rates, and this concern Is sup
ported by specific evidence developed
by the investigation"

In spite OF our repeated opportunities.

the conditions shown TO exist in Kansas

COVERED MILK PALS.
Importance of Keeping Foreign Sub
stances Out of the Milk.

According TO the Cornell station,
milk pals should be made with as
small openings as possible. They are
usually made the other way, very much
wider at the top than at the bottom,
exposing an extensive surface to the
air and all that is therein. The Cor
nell experiments showed that milk
drawn in an ordinary pail contained
1900 bacteria per cubic centimeter,
while that drawn in pail with half
as wide an opening contained only 800
bacteria. The new type of covered
pail should be universally used by
dairymen.
A living fly was introduced into 500
C. C. of sterile milk. The milk was
shaken one minute and it then con-
tanned AZ bacteria per C. C. After "a
hours at room temperature, it con-
tanned $4,000 bacteria per C. c., and
after SO hours 5,675,000. '
A piece of hay about two inches
long was placed in 500 c. C. of sterile
milk. The milk was shaken one min
ute and it then contained 3,025 bac-
terra per c. C. After "A hours at room
temperature it contained 8, 412,000 bac-
terra per C. C.
One piece of sawdust from the sta
bic floor was put into 500 c. C. of
sterile milk. The milk was shaken
one minute and it's bacterial content
was then found to be 4,0S0 per c. c.
After "a hours at room temperature it
was 100000.
A hair from a cows flank was put
into 500 c. c. of sterile milk. After
shaking the milk for one minute it
contained 81 bacteria per c. C. After
"a hours at room temperature it con-
tanned $4,000 per c. c., and in SO hours
over 100000 bacteria per C. C.
