"PENNSY" AND THE REBATES
Testimony of Its Employees in Stand
ard Oil Suit

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July l2-For the
purpose of testifyng in the governments
suit against the Standard Oil Company for
the alleged acceptance of railroad rebates
Messrs f. p Bates and Robert c. Wright
general freight agents of the PennsvIva mia
Railroad Company. have Deen subpoenaed
TO appear before the United States district
court at jamestown. y. Y, ana bring with
them all orders fixing the rates on petro-
Ieum and its products, on shipments in
1tSi from Clean, \. Y. to Rochester n
y, as well as between certain other points
Inc rates between Olean and Rochester
are those which, according to Commissioner
CARRIED OF the bureau of corporations as
stated IN his report to the President con-
sututed gross favoritism for the STANDARD
OIL Company. 1t was alleged by Mr. Gar
field that the rate of cents barrel be-
tween these two points was secret" unfair
toward Independent retiners, and that
through IL the Standard realized an illo-
Ultimate profit of Sis, 900 In 1904
On behalf of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Messrs. Bates and Wright will testify that
the rates referred to were fixed BY the
Western New York and PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road seventeen years ago-twelve years De-
fore that property was acquired by the
Pennsylvania railroad. The reason they
were so fixed was to avoid the alternative
OF the Standards building a pipe line be-
tween Its retineries at those points 1t Will
be set forth that had this rate not been
made all the producuts would have been
shipped by pipe line, 10 the loss only of
the railroad
The company's freight officials will also
seek to make plain the fact that the rate
was not secret" but that it had been duly
filed with freight agents, exactly like all
other commodity rates, for seventeen wears:
that ANY shipper could have ascertained Ii;
and that in all the period referred to. no
one made any complaint against II. 1t will
be asserted that the rate was not made as
favor to the Standard OIL Company, but
for the same good business reasons as con-
trolled In the making of commodity rates
In behalf of Independent Oil shippers be-
tween other points.
Figures will be produced TO snow that
in 1904 the Pennsylvania railroad carried
1S7 cars OF oil from Olean to Rochester.
and that only 1919 were reshipped to New
England The railroad officials will geek
TO prove that no one has been injured by
the Clean Rochester rate, and that this
rate must continue to be allowed or the
company will sacrifice this traffic.

LIVELY ON RIVER BOAT
MISSISSIPPI STEAMER GROUND
ED-PAssENGERs ESCAPED.

WINONA. Mimi. July 12-The steamer
Quincy of the Diamond 10 Line steamers
lies grounded near Trempealeau. on the
Wisconsin side of the river. The earlier re-
ports of the accident were rather exagger-
ated. There was no loss of life, nor was
there any fire or the vessel. few OF the
passengers were taken to La Crosse last
night bat most of them were brought TO
Winona by a special train on the Burning
ton road and transferred here to regular
uorth-bOund trains this morning. and con-
tinued on their journey to St. Paul
The steamer ran on to a sand bar about
1870 last night. although Jack and Jim
Richtnan. two OF the best pilots on the
Mississippi. were in charge in the pilot
house The shock caused the hull to spring
aleak. The Quincy was quickly backed of
the bar. but it was seen she was settling,
and she was headed for the Wisconsin
shore. Before this was reached the lights
went out, causing some CONSERVATION but
the boat was pushed close to shore, and by
placing a yawl on the shore side passen-
gers were able to be taken off over the
gangplank.
A number of the passengers brought to
Winuna were interviewed prior to leaving
for St. Paul this morning. and all speak
highly of the conduct of the boats officers
The women wer- taken off the steamer
first, and then when 1t was seen there was
no danger OF the Quincy settling further
most of the rest remained on board until
the arrival OF the relief train, a few being
brought to Wnona by launches. The
steamer Fountain City responded to tel
ephone call sent to La Crosse, and brought
the baggage and some of the crew to WI
mona early this morning.
Capt. Morris ~killon remained with the
boat and will make arrangements for hav-
ing it raised and repaired as soon as pos
sible. Efforts made last night to stop the
leak with tarpaIlin. when the vessel was
sinking proved unavailing.
The desire of the officers of the Quincy to
escape the myriad of insects which infested
the vicinity of the searchlight when 1t was
turned on caused the accident. To escape
the insects the light was turned off and the
pilot in the dark. mistook a landmark and
ran the boat aground.
