STANDARD OIL
ON The RACK

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-Hampton
G. Westcott, vice-president of the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky,
testified today in the hearing of the
Federal suit against the oil company,
that in several of the Southern States
the Standard had found it eXpedient
to sell much of its product through
companies which the public believed
to be independent. The practice of
selling through so-called indepen-
dent companies which were owned by
the combine, was discontinued two
years ago, according to Mr. Westcott.
Kellogg, counsel for the government.
drew from the witness that the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky,
which acts as selling agent of oil in
Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, Tennessee and Alabama. had
purchased numerous small indepen-
dent companies and through many of
them sold oil to consumers. Some of
the plants of these Independents
We're dismantled and the business
taken over by the Standard. West
colt threw side light on the bust
ness department of the Standard con-
cerning which Federal counsel had
been seeking information since the
beginning of the inquiry. Westcott
said that each month the main office
of the Standard Oil Company of Ken
lucky at Covington, sent to him not
only reports of the business opera
lions of the Standard. but statements
concerning freight shipments and the
sales of oil by all competitors. Kel-
logg stated tonight that he expected
to call William G. Rockefeller, as
sistant treasurer of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, to the stand
when the hearing is resumed tomor-
row. 1t is believed that at the end
of this week the hearing will be adj
journed for several weeks to give
Kellogg an opportunity to go care
fully over the mass of information
he has obtained since the hearing
began.

MILL PULLED OFF
At MANHATTAN

MANHATTAN, Oct Ia There
was a fight tonight, under the aus
pieces of the Manhattan Athletic Club,
between Smith of Manhattan and
Nick Burnley of Alaska, or any old
place. Burnley has fought between
thirty and thirty-five fights, and one
time fought Peter Jackson to draw.
He was in prime condition, and
Smith seemed to be in the same fix
at the beginning of the fracas.
Smith made fair showing for tho
first round, but in the second it was
evident that he wasn't in it with Bur-
ley for minute. Burnley batted him
all over the ring, and in the third
round finished him. He walked right
into him and landed with left and
right on the jaw. Smith took the
count, and Burnley waited until he
was on his feet, and then asked the
referee If he should hit him. Wheth-
er the referee heard him or not, nc
one knew, but he delivered til smatsh

SLIGHT RECOVERY
in STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. Oct 14-The recov-
cry in stocks today, after spasmodie
decline just at the opening, brought
a feeling of relief to the general anx-
iety in the financial district, which
reached a stage of acute alarm in the
brokers offices, where the course Of
events of Saturday, if continued,
would run rapidly into disaster. The
strain on the opening market was Sc
we're. as it was in Saturdays violent
decline. having had the usual after
effects in the augmented volume of
selling of some holders either dis
cOuraged by the fall or forced to re-
tire by withdrawal of credits and de-
mands for additional margins from
disturbed brokers. The break at the
close affected. better sentiment
which was growing up in foreign
money centers as uneasy over the po-
sition in New York as were observ-
ers nearer home, and sent selling Or
ders into this market on a large
scale. Renewed selling for the Am
sterdam account was to figure in this
item. In some of the less active
stocks the consequence to price was
serious. The outpouring of United
States Steel stocks late in the day
was decided factor in carrying the
prices downward again Bonds were
weak. The total sales, $1,S4S,O0O.
