give actual financial help to bull specula-

prices higher, because in nine cases out OF

be only too glad to find a market for. Their

EVIDENCE PROVES THIS
Startling Disclosures Made
in Suit on Hearing in
New York.

New York Sept, 19-Evidence was
adduced today at the hearing of the
federal suit against the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey in which
Frank b. Kellogg is conducting
the governments actions which tends
to prove the Standard Oil company is
operating in Texas under the name
of the Corsicana Refining Company.
Texas antitrust laws forbid the Stand
ard from doing business within the
borders OF that state. Kellogg de-
veloped from Wesley Tilford, treasur-
er of the Standard Oil Company, that
f. G. Folger and G. NJ. Payne, who,
Kellogg says, are owners of the Cor
sicana Company, are officials of the
Standard Oil Company.
Wesley f. Tilford, treasurer of the
Standard Oil Company, was question
ed today by Mr.. Kellogg, who is
conducting the federal suit against the
oil combine in an effort to CLEAN furth-
er facts and figures concerning the
development of the Standard Oil trust
and its subsequent liquidation into the
present Standard OH Company of New
Jersey.
Tllford was shown copy OF an
agreement dated 1882, giving list
of the companies that entered into the
trust.
1T appears that the Chess Charley
Company signed that agreement; have
you thought about that since l spoke
to you last night" asked Kellogg.
II have not" replied Tilford who
yesterday testified that he had been
a member Of the Chess Charley Com
lpSuy Of Louisville before he became
identified with the Standard.
Tilford testified that between 1896
and 1899 the trustees received diyi
dends on unliquidated stocks of sub
sidiary companies and distributed the
money to the holders of trust certifi
Gates and holders of liqudating as
signments. The trustees did not vote
this subsidiary stock as they had done
before the company underwent liqui-
dation. Prior to 1892 he said, the trus
tees voted the stock and elected the
directors of all the subsidiary com
panies.
