San Francisco Clearing House Dis
courasss Accepting Aid.
ENOUGH MONEY IS IN SIGHT
Adopts Report Saying Charity Not
Needed in Rebuilding City-Finan-
cial Help Wanted Only on
Business Principles.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4-The clear
ing house today received the report of
it's executive committee, which was
adopted. A portion reads as follows:
"The committee feels that the best in
terests. as such, do not need charity to
aid them in rebuilding the city With
Sl50.OOO 900 or more to be received from
the insurance companies, and the banks
strong and in a solvent condition, boun-
tiful harvests promised in the State and
the general underlying business sound,
any other financial help should be look
ed for only on strictly business prin-
ciples In other words since the insur-
ance indemnity win largely replace the
destroyed buildings as well as stocks
of merchandise and our banks are able
to meet the general commercial re-
duirements, individuals or institutions,
who may come to find it necessary or
expedient to apply to outside sources
for loans should do so on the usual basis
Of good security. We cannot rebuild
in day. We shall shortly have more
money than can be Immediately used,
so it seems premature to assume that
our resources will prove inadequate and
especially that the occasion demands
the introduction of undemethods of
finance, which may be found illegal OF
otherwise impracticable."

Rumors Unverifed.
JACKSONVILLE, May 4.-Rumors OF
the revolution lack verifcation and it is
believed there is no truth in them
Nothing corroborates any of the re-
ports. The interception of the Colum'

STANDARD OIL IN THE TOLLS

which enters 40 largely into the cost Of
the finished product and hence most
important factor in competition.
Taking mp the subject of the output
Of refined oil, Mr.. Garfield finds that it
amounts to about twentysix million
barrels annually. Of which the Standard
Oil Company directly and indirectly
controls about twenty three million and
approximately the same proportion OF
the other finished products Of petroleum.
Continuing, the report says
Advantages Wrongly Obtained.
The Standard claims that the location
OF its refueries and the use Of pipe lines
are natural advantage. to which II u
Justly entitled by reason Of the energy
and foresight Of its managers. While
in a measure that is true, it must not
be forgotten that these advantages
were in part obtained by means Vi
unfair competitive methods after years
OF fierce industrial strife.
The development Of the pipe line sys-
TEN by the Standard Company was the
result Of special agreements with rail-
road companies. Furthermore, those
socalled natural advantages have been
and are being greatly increased by dis
ordinations in freight rates, both pub
li-hed and secret. interstate and state,
which give the Standard monopolistic
control in the greater portion OF the
country and which so limits competition

Standard Grossly Favored.


1t il not possible, he said, TO put
| into figures the exact amount by which
the Standard profits through the gross
favoritism shown it by the railways
in connection with the open rates.
"The profit OF course comes not mere
" by the saving in the rate itself as
compared with its competitors, but by
the higher prices it is able to charge
and by the complete control of the
market which it secures, thereby getting
the profit on the whole consumption" I"
The President calls attention to that
feature of the report regarding the man.
ner in which the law is evaded by treat
ing as state commerce, what in reality
is merely a part of interstate commerce,
He says it is clearly shown, chat this
device is employed on the New York
Central Railroad. as well as on many
othed railroads, in such fashion as to
amount TO thwarting the purpose of
the law although the forms of the law
may be complied with"
Sugar Trust Favored.
1t is unfortunately not true, he says,
that the Standard Oil Company is the
only corporation which has benefited
and is benefitting in wholly improper
fashion by an elaborate series of rate
determinations The sugar trusts, he
adds. according to the results of the
investigation now in progress, rarely if
ever, pays the lawful rate for transpor-
tation. He declares that in the effort
to prevent the railroads from uniting
for improper purposes. "We have very
unwsely prohibited them from uniting
for proper purposes; that is, for pur-
poses of protecting themselves and the
general public as against the power of
the great corporations"
He favors as an element of competi-
ton, putting alcohol used in the arts
on the free list and of keeping the fee
to oil and coal lands of the Indian
tribes or on the public domain in the
government, the lands to be leased only
on such terms and for such periods as
will enable the government to entirely
| control them.

Report Most Important.

In his message the President express
ell the view that the report is Of capital
Importance because Of the effort now
being made To secure such enlargement
Of the powers of the Interstate Com
meree Commission as will confer upon
the commission power in some measure
adequate to meet the clearly demon
strated needs of the situation. The
facts set forth in the report, he declares,
are for the most part not disputed.
That the Standard Oil Company has
benefited enormously up almost to the
present moment by secret rates, many
of which we're clearly unlawful, the
President says the report clearly shows,
the benefit thereby secured amounted
to at least three quarters of million
year. On this subject he says
Public Bears Burden.
This three quarters Of million rep
resents the profit that the Standard Oil
Company obtains at the expense OF the
railroads, but of course the ultimate re-
suit is that it obtains much larger
profit at the expense of the public. A
very striking result of the investigation
has been that shortly after the discovery
of these secret rates by the commits
sioner of corporations, the major part
of them were promptly corrected by the
railroads so that most of them have
now been done away with, This imme-
diatc correction, partial or complete OF
the evil of the secret rates, is of course
on the one hand an acknowledgement
that they were wrong and yet were
persevered in until exposed and on the
other hand, proof of the efficiency OF
the work that has been done by the
bureau of corporations"
Prosecutions Will Be Commenced.
The statement is added that the De-
partment of Justice will take up the
question of instituting prosecutions IN
at least certain of the eases and the
hope is expressed that Congress Will
enact into law, the bill of Senator Knox
to correct the Interpretation of the inn
munity provision rendered in Judge
Humphreys decision, Continuing, the
President says;
"But in addition to these secret rates
the Standard Oil profits immensely by
omen rates, which are so arranged as to
give it an overwhelming advantage over
its independent competitors This is
characteristic example of the numerous
evils which are inevitable under a
system in which the big shippers and
the railroad are left free to crush out
all individual initiative and all power OF
independent action because of the alb
