KELLOGG SHOWS UP METHOD 5Y
WHICH TlDEWATER COMPA-
NY WAS GRABBED.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE LEFT OUT
REPORT THAT STANDARD WILL
BE REoRGANIzED DENIED
BY ARCHROLD..

New York, Sept. 25.-The ways and
means by which the Underwater Pipe
Company of Pennsylvania came under
virtual control of the Standard Oil
company was unfolded yesterday in
the hearing of the governments suit
against the oil combine. The affairs
of the Tidewater company were dis
closed by the testimony Of Robert
Benson, president of the company,
and from a mass of accounts and con-
tracts. The Standard was shown to
own at present 81 per cent of the
Tidewater stock, and by an agreement
entered into in 1883 between the two
companies the oil business was divid-
ed in such proportion that the Tide
water did II IL per cent and the
Standard S8 IL per cent.
Jump Stockholders Meeting.
An interesting incident of the days
hearing was the unsealing of the min
utes of a stockholders meeting held
in Titusville, Pa, on Jan. II, 1883,
the action of which in electing officers
was repudiated at a meeting next day
in Philadelphia of the managers OF
the Tidewater company, who directed
that the existing officers remain in
control and that a suit be brought in
court to set aside the action Of the
Titusville meeting. Counsel for the
government obtained evidence from
Mr.. Benson and the records Of the
company that certain interests had
held the Titusville meeting without is
suing a call to the stockholders, as
provided for by the cOmpany's by
laws. The litigation in the Pennsyl-
vania courts that followed the Titus
vile meeting resulted in a decision
against these officers. Mr.. Benson
was asked to examine the record and
see if any stock now held by the
Standard Oil interests had been voted
at that meeting.
Standard Men Got 1t.
Mr.. Benson said that 1854 shares Of
stock voted at that meeting came into
possession of gentlemen whom they
considered to represent the Standard
Oil interests, and that this stock in
1900 was transferred by William G..
Rockefeller to H. c. Folger, who still
owns it.
Mr.. Benson gave testimony to show
that, under the existing contract with
the Standard, of 95 per cent of oil re-
fined by the Tidewater company II
per cent was sold to the Standard and
the remaining % per cent was sold in
territory in which the Standard was
not interested.
The president of the Tidewater
company, when asked what DISPOSE
ton was made of the remaining per
cent refined for domestic purposes,
said that the Standard secured 81 per
cent of it.
Will Not Be Reorganized.
John D. Archbold, vice president Of
the Standard Oil company, was
prompt in issuing yesterday an au-
thoritative denial of a statement that
the Standard Oil company contem-
plated a reorganization of it's affairs.

LOMBARD TELLS HIS TROUBLES

New York, Sept. 25.-Accountants
of the Standard Oil company finally
audited the books of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company of Missouri after
1900, when it's name disappeared from
the list of companies controlled by
the Stadard, according to Wade Hamp-
ton. general auditor of the Standard
Oil company. who testified yesterday
in the governments suit against the
oil company.
In 1900 the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany was prohibited from doing bust
ness in Texas under the antitrust law
because of it's relations with the
Standard. The Waters-pierce compa-
ny was reorganized and the stock held
by the Standard was sold.
Held in Standards Interests.
Testimony had previously been adj
duced that Charles Pratt, secretary of
the Standard. bought the stock and
held it in the Standards interests.
Mr. Hampton testified yesterday that
he had sent each year accountants to
the Waters Pierce Oil company to
audit the books at the request of the
officers of the company. Mr.. Kellogg
produced a letter sent by the witness
to one of the officials of the Waters
Pierce company stating that an &C.
countant was on his way and that
for reasons which he would under
stand, his name had better be put on
the pay rolls of the Waters-Pierce
company until the accounting was
completed. Mr.. Hampton said he had
forgotten what the reasons were that
he mentioned in the letter.
Lombard and Trust.
The troubles of the oil firm of Lonl-
bard &, Ayres in the early '70s was an
interesting feature Of the days hear
ing. Mr.. Lombard said that he had
difficulties in obtaining tank cars to
ship oil and that his company felt the
difficulty of competing with the Stand
ard, which, he said, was receiving re-
bates from the trunk lines. He had
two conferences with A. J. Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania railroad, but was
told that the rebates which were given
the Standard did not amount to much.
Mr. Cassatt, the witness said, suggest
ed that his difficulties would doubtless
cease if he united the Lombard com
pany with the Standard.
Boosts the Trust.
Mr.. Lombard testified that he had a
conference witt. Col Thomas Scott,
president of the Pennsylvania, in
in which he was told that the Lom-
bard company was getting all the tank
cars it could obtain under the allot-
ment Col. Scott, according to the
witness, said the Pennsylvania rail
road would not haul tank cars built by
the Lombard company. Col. Scott also
expressed the opinion that the LOm-
bard e Ayres company would do well
to unite with the Standard.
Anthony N. Brady of Albany told
yesterday how the Manhattan Oil com.
pany of Ohio was sold to a London
company Mr. Brady said he had no
idea when the sale was made that the
company was going into the hands of
the Standard company.

The federation adopted caustic resolutions against the American and Continental Tobac- co Companies, and calling for the boy colt of drugstores all over the country having certain kinds of cigar stands, which were ordered on the I've don't patronize list" The convention rati- fled the appointment of two special committees to confer with the farm CTS of the country, represented by the affiliated American Society of Equity, and bring about better understand ing with the view of having the farm CTS fully cooperate with the trades unions by refusing to buy boycotted farm supply goods.
