THE STANDARD OIL CO GIVEN A
RESOUNDING WHAck
THAT STlNGS.
COMING TO THE FRONT
GarfieId's Report Before Congress Ac-
companied by a Message of the
President couched in His Sharpest
Phrase.
The Showing Made.

President Roosevelt transmitted to
congress the report of James X. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations,
giving the results of his investigation
of the subject of transportation and
freight rates in connection with the
oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the views that the report is OF
capital importance because Of the eff
fort now being made TO secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate TO meet the
clearly demonstrated needs of the sit
uation. The facts set forth In the re-
port, he declares, are for the most
part not disputed That the Standard
Oil Co. has benefited enormously by
secret rates, many of which were
clearly unlawful, the president says
the report clearly shows.
The presidents chief points. made in
The message, are:

enormously by secret rates.

Driven TO suicide.

Minnie Green, aged 16, shot herself
just below the heart while seated at
her desk in the gun store of Joseph
Thompson, of Mt. Pleasant, where she
was bookkeeper. Mr.. Thompson had
not heard the shot because of the
noise made by a gasoline engine In
the rear of the store. and 1t was ap-
parently an hour after the shooting
that he heard groans in the office and
found his bookkeeper on the floor un-
conscious.
Miss Green fingered several hours,
but finally died from internal hem
orrhage.
The real cause for the girls suicide
was not learned until a note was found
in her ledger at the Office, in which
she complained that someone had been
talking about her, Telling stories
that are not true. and | can't stand
it any longer"
The girl had been hard worker for
her years, and was doubtless rather
nervous from overwork.
Minnie Green's father died 10 years
ago and her mother married laborer.
