Employees Made Copies.

The inspection OF the books of the
New Jersey corporation, which %
trolls the twenty oil concerns formerly
in the dissolved Standard Oil Trust OF
Ohio, was a point for which Frank b.
Kellogg, the governments counsel,
had been looking since the hearings
began several weeks ago. He had de-
manded statements from various
books, and copies were made by
Standard Oil employees and exhibited
in court.
But when Mr.. Kellogg asked for the
records of the old board of liquidation
trustees, by which he wanted to show
that the present Standard Oil Co. Of
New Jersey Is really the same old
trust under a new name, he was told
that the stock transfer books we're
missing.
Later Assistant Comptroller Fay ad.
mitted there was such a book at 26
Broadway and Mr.. Kellogg demanded
and obtained permission to inspect It.
E, ID. Durand of the bureau of corpor.
atoms In the department of commerce
and labor at Washington, and Mr..
Roadstrum from the department Of
Justice were detailed to conduct the
inspection. They have visited the of.
fees Of the Standard Oil Co. each day
and Mr.. Kellogg is said to be pleased
with what he found.
The government will place on rec.
ord the details OF how the Pacific
Coast Oil Co. was acquired by the
Standard in 1900 and an effort will be
made to show hat the Standard oper
ated the company for a time as an
Independent company, the object be

might result through the public ami
mostly to the Standard on the Pacific
coast.
