The magnifcence Of Standard OIL
dividends makes the average mali
gasp. In eight years that company
has paid to its shareholders $780,
100000, or more than three times
the amount of the par value of its
capital. It. is the popular belief,
which is also the probable fact, that
the great Rockefeller group acquired
its ownership of the stock at .rela-
lively small figures. These men or
ganized the company, nursed 1t in
infancy, and now it has become the
giantess that plays mother to a big
brood of subordinate oil trusts
around the world.
The recent riots in Southern Rus
sia stilled the petroleum industry
there and brought profitable grist
to Standard Oil. 1t was the only
concern on earth that could supply
all the petroleum required. An in
creased demand, accompanied by the
inevitable higher price during the
past couple of years, has steadily
enriched this greatest American
trust.
While the venerable Croesus who
Is president of the mighty Standard
!, Oil is reputed to be lodging process
servers, his millions in dividends roll
into his Golfers and add to his laurels
as the richest man who ever, lived"

RUSSIAN EMPIRE IS DOOMED
Veteran Reformer Says Wishes
of People Are ignored.
Admonition of Shipoff, Who Declined
Portfolio in the Stolypin Cabinet
Sinking Into Barbarlsm.

Moscow, Russia.-M. Shipoif, the
veteran reformer, who declinedi a
portfolio in the Stolypin cabinet, in
an interview said
"The chasm between the people
and the Government is now almost
impossible to bridge. The ruling
beaureaucracy is bending every re-
source of the empire to the task Of
defeating the wishes of the people.
The suspension of. justice, ruthless
punitive expeditions and the sup
preston of political parties form a
damning contrast to the promises Of
reform. Even were the promises
sincere and the reforms real the
people could not accept them at the
hands of distrusted rulers.
There must be a change in the
Ministry, and Parliament must be
reconvoked forthwith. The major
ity would then be composed of Mod
crates, and as the process of revolu-
tionizing will be arrested as soon as
the people are assured that their
struggle for elementary political lib
critics will be crowned with success
the old regime will be irrevocably
dead and a relapse will be impossi-
BILE.
THE present regime is rapidly
revolutionizing and demoralizins
the country. The prevailing spirit is
appalling. Daily bloodshed is mat
ter of Indifference, and political
crimes are glorifled. Moral princi-
pie is disappearing and ultimate
right and wrong are ignored. Rus
sia is sinking into barbarism with
out moral regeneration. She is
doomed "

STENSLAND BACK, TO ACCUSE.
Threatens to Expose Chicago Finan-
ciers, Who Helped Ruin Bank.

New York City.-Following an af-
.ectionate meeting between Paul o.
5tensland, Chicago's self-confessed
oank wrecker and captured fugitive,
Ind his son Theodore, there was a
long and earnest discussion during
which the father, who returned here
N the steamship Prinz Adalbert from
rangier, Morocco, finally convinced
lis favorite son that it would be un-
wise to fight eXtradition, and he went
, voluntarily to Chicago, where he will
shoulder part Of the responsibility
,or the S3,000,0O0 bank loot.
Stensland was taken direct to Po-
ice Headquarters, where he spent
The night in cell. He admits thefts
aggregating 100000, and by turn
ing States evidence against others,
whom he says are implicated. he will,
It is expected, startle Chicago with a
sensation equal to that first felt by
The $4,000 depositors when the bank
president fed.
His confession accuses many prom
lnent Chicagoans, and much of the
responsibility for the immense de-
icit is placed upon Cashier Herring,
who is now under arrest, and who
mas been attempting to dicker with
the States Attorney by aiding the
prosecution of StenSland.
