that such Is the case. They do not be-

mands the drastic legislation which they
think the Hepburn bin proposes, ana
they do not believe the railroads are SO
bad MS the advocates OF the bill think.
But It Is understood that the report on
the oil trust will be such revelation of
the methods used by the trust In bull

such derellotions and flagrant violations
of all the statutes against preferences
and rebates on the part Of the railroad
companies themselves, that no more can
be said In behalf of the great transporta-

business, even by those most friendly

While it is stl'l safe to predict that the
