HE PRESIDENT
 AND HEPBURN BILL
Hr. Roosevelt Outlines His Views to
 Newspaper Correspondents.

Washington, May i. - Thirty-six members of the corps of the corps of the Washington, association eorre- sPoiIdents. representing the leading daily newspapers and press association. in the United States, met President Roosevelt by invitation in the cabinet room of the executive offices this af- ternoon to discuss with him the status of railroad rate legislation and to learn the presidents views as to certain pending amendments to the Hepburn bill. The meeting lasted more than au hour. While the president made 1t clear at the outset that he desired no. to be quoted directly as to the views he might express, he said that he was perfectly willing that his views should be known and be stated in the lan- guage of the members of the press who were present. The discussion dealt chiefly with the various propositions for court of review, from the broad amendment proposed by Senator Bail ey of Texas, to the restricted amend ment offered by Senator Long of Kan sas. The president indicated clearly and positively that he would be satis- fled with the enactment of the Hep burn bill. IS it was reported to the senate from the committee on inter- sate commerce. He pointed out now ever, that some advocates of railroad rate legislation. as sincere friends of the legislation as he himself was. be- lieved it would be wise to amend the measure as to provide for a review of the decisions of the interstate com merce commission by the courts.

ROGERS cAUsTrc REPLY.
Takes Mir. Garfield Severely to Task
 for His Observations.

New York, May An reply to Pres ident Roosevelt's message and the re- port of Commissioner Garfield. Messrs H. H. Rogers and John D. Archbold. of the Standard Oil company. said that their examination of the message and report had necessarily been hurried one and that they should at a later date make a full answer to their shareholders. Meanwhile they made a statement to the Associated Press. which is in part as follows:
 Tn the presidents effort to secure the passage of bill enlarging the pow CTS of the interstate commerce com mission and just and equitable rail- road rates we have precisely the same interest that any good citizen has, No more and no less. Regarding his criti- cisms upon the management of the railways, or his strictures upon any acts of the interstate commerce com mission. we have neither responsibility nor concern. When, however, he or Commissioner Garfield attacks the Standard Oil company and uses it's methods of doing business as an Ob- ject lesson for the people promoting his views, We protest. It may be frank ly stated at the outset that the Stand ard oil company has at all times with in the limits and fairness and with due regard for the law sought to secure the most advantageous freight rates and routes possible. There will be no denial of this fact on our part. The

Two Documents That Loosen the Tongue
 of Henry II. Rogers
He Makes General Denial of Principal Charges and Follows With Sarcastic Comments President of the New York Central Also Makes Statement of Denial

Washington. May 4,-The president today transmitted to congress the re- port of MT. Garfield, commissioner of corporations. giving the results of his investigation of the subject of trans portation and freight rates in the oil industry. The president expressed the view that the report is of capital inn portance because of the effort being made to secure such enlargement of powers to the interstate commerce commission as will confer upon the commission power to in some measurA meet the clearly demonstrated needs of the situation. The fact set forth in the report, he declares, in most parts not disputed, that the Standard oil has benefited enormously up almost to the present moment by secret rates. many of which are clearly unlawful The president says the report clearly shows that the benefit thereby secur- ed amounts to at least three quarters of million a year, and the ultimate profit from the public much larger. A statement added that the department of justice will take up the question of instituting the prosecution of cer- tain cases, and the nope is expressed that congress will enact into law the bill of Mir. Knox to correct the inter- pretatiOn of the immunity provision, as rendered in Judge Humphreys de- ciSion.
 In summarizing his report. Garfield speaks personally of his visit to the oil fields and the great mass of data obtained
 Preliminary to a study of this was the transportation question, which en- ters so largely into the cost of the fin ished product, hence the most impor- tant factor of competition Garfield refers to seven instances of important discriminations in favor of Standard Oil by the railroads in various parts of the country, and says most of the secret rates, and some open discrimi- nations discOvcred-by the -bsInesai were abolished by the railroads shortly af- ter discovery.

unjust and illegal Determinations. ft is hardly fair or manly for him to add the sentence, Of course, there may be other secret rates which the bureau has not discovered
 "1n dealing with the observation-disclosures, which are alleged to be violations 1f the interstate commerce law the plain answer is that If MT. Garheld's state ment is correct, it was the duty of the interstate commerce commission to have taken action and brought not only the Standard, but the railroads in- volVed to book. and this they have never done. Violations of the law in this respect do not fall within the Jurisdiction of the bureau of corpora tions. and any statement on the part of Mir Garfield respecting thls subject is gratuitous and valueless.
 Again. he has no control whatever over state rates. which, by the law, are put under the Jurisdiction of the state authorities, and over which the bureau of commerce nor the interstate com merce commission have any control But, all of this aside, there have been no secret rates or unlawful discriml- nations in the interest of the Standard oil company
 "The statement that the Standard Oll company haS largely, by unfair and unlawful methods. crushed out home competition, is fully answered by the fact that home competition has always existed, is steadily growing, and that there are now at least 125 competitive refneries in the United States
 "As to the claim that changes in rates have been made since the com missioner's efficient work began. all the Standard oil company has to say is that any such changes have been made without its suggestion OF effort

QUipS FROM THE PROFESSOR.
TWO Points Scored in Humorous but
Effective Manner.

you don't seem to understand"
clustered the man who was trying to
make his point with a university pro-
lessor. Il tell you, sir, l ought to
know, I'm an alumni of this institution
myself" Are you? That's nothing
singular" was the witty rejoinder, ut
tered so quietly that the clustering
man never knew what had happened,
says the Youths Companion.
On another occasion the same pro-
fessoI, having ordered from a music
publishing house a copy of 'Valse
Impromptu'' by certain French COM
poser, received an 'Impromptu Waltz
by another man. The publishers, when
called to account for their mistake, re-
piled rather insolently that they had
been in the music publishing business
a long time, and had yet to discover
the difference between a ''Valse I'M
promptu'' and an "Impromptu Waltz"
Would DR.. Smith kindly state to them
that difference?
Gentlemen" wrote the genial pro-
fessor in answer. Il have not, like
yourselves, been in the music publish
ing business, and am therefore not
fully qualified to inform you; but
since, in your extremity, you have ap-
pealed to me, l would venture to sug-
gest that the difference between a
'Valse Impromptu' and an Impromptu
Waltz may be similar to the difference
between a blind Venetian and a VeQe-
tan blind"

England Has Largest Eggs.

Egg cups are bigger in New York
than anywhere else in the world ex-
cept England" said a globe trotter.
81 can't say the same for the eggs, al
though the hens in this part of the
country perform their duty of helping
to feed the human race pretty credit
ably. Still, they cannot come up to
the English hens. Their contribution
to the food products are extraordinary
in size, hence the corresponding capa-
ciousness of the egg cups. The fur
Their south you go on the continent
the smaller the egg cups grow. In
Egypt they dwindle away to the size
of the average thimbie. Their dimin-
utive proportions are commensurate
with the size of the eggs, however,
which are the smallest laid by self
respecting hens any place on earth.
Place an ordinary Egyptian egg in the
British cup and it is absolutely lost.
In order that eggs may be decapi-
tated gracefully the authorities at
Alexandria have given orders for the
importation of several thousand extra
cups to fit the native eggs"

and good will extended to us by our
friends and we take this occasion to
express our sincere thanks to all who
have accorded us their friendship and
patronage in the past.
The Ely Clothing Co. is going out
of business and by the 1st of January
our entire stock must be closed out no
matter how great the sacratice.
Preparatory to the dissolution of
the firm we have-as will be seen by
our advertisement in this paper--in-
augurated a Special Sale, absolutely
the last sale to be held by the Ely
Clothing Co. and it only remains for
US to say that this is a "bona tide'
sale in which profit is entirely out of
the question. The main object is, to
convert all of our assets into cash,
and in order to accomplish our aim,
anything in our store will be sold
regardless of cost.
We want as many as possible to par
ticipate in this sale and benefit by
the extraordinary low prices at which
our goods will be sold.
A better opportunity to buy first
class goods at low prices will probably
never again present itself to the pub
lie of Ely.
Do not put off your purchase, if you
want to save money. Our stock is at
present complete in every line but we
do not expect it to remain so very
long. We anticipate lively trade in
our store from this time on and the
early purchaser will naturally get the
first choice.
All transactions will be on on a cash
basis only.
