Mr.. Rockefeller spoke very deliber-

OIL TRUST A BLESSING
SAYS VICE PRESIDENT

Chicago, July 10.-The following
statement has been given to the asso-
ciated press by John d. Rock efeller, jr,
and John d.. Archbold:
: Since the enactment Of the interstate
commerce law in 1887 the Standard Oil
company has most carefully observed
its provisions and in no case has will
the passage Of the law, and the princi-
pie of equity which was embodied in it.
The old system of special rebates was
obnoxious and was never a source of
profit to the company. The net rate
paid for freight vas always used as
"a basis for the selling price in the
markets and the consumer had the
benefit of it. Moreover, every shipper
icould secure special rates and it was
no experience for the Stan
dard Oil company to discover that it's
competitors had lower rates than it
was shipping under.
The assertion so often made by care
Ness and sensational writer's and critics
that the rebates" were the basis of
Standard Oil prosperity Is absolutely
untrue. Its prosperity has come
through its correct apprehension of
the possible magnitude and Importance
of the petroleum business; through It's
having provided better and more
economical methods for doing the bust
ness than nav its competitors and
through a better service to the public
in price and quality than others have
given. 1t has made the petroleum in
idustry great; it has held 1t for this
country against foreign competitions;
and we assert that is a blessing and
mot a bane to the country. Its down
fall through N cause would be a
national disaster

STANDARD OIL IS 70 ]
BE FINED ON AUGUST 8

Chicago, July l0.-Attorneys for
Standard Oil today declined to submit
any further evidence in the investiga-.
ton begun Saturday by Judge Lands.
Lands then announced the sentence
Indian which was convicted OF using
illegal railroad rates, August 5.
Judge Lands asked the attorneys
for the company:
/, Have you anything to offer prior
to the entering OF a fnal order?"
Statement for the Company.
!. we have a formal statement to
make" said Attorney Rosenthal. 4
will read it."
The statement in substance was as
follows:
In answer to the court as to
whether the defendant desires to offer
gay evidence tending to show that the
defendant, or the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, never violated the
interstate law before, and
denying the jurisdiction of the court
in h premises, and ~contending that
this entire inquiry Is beyond the legal
power of the court, the defendant still
insisting that the record shows 1t is
innocent Of the offenses charged In the
indictment, the defendant desires to
say this:
There are in the record no sug-
gestions that this defendant ever be-
fore was charged with violation Of the
interstate law.
For this defendant now to assert its
innocence Of matters that 1t Is not
charged with or attempt to show that
it has been innocent of wrongdoing in
connection with matters outside Of the
record of this case would present a sit
.uation unheard of in Anglo-Saxon jur-
isprudence."
The statement asserted at some
length thai the court had no right to
,go outside the record in this case in
considering the penalty.
Always Cbeys the Laws.
The statement then concluded:
IF the occasion shall ever arise in an
appropriate proceeding where this de-
PENDANT an, without any waiver Of its
legal rights, subject itself to the ques-
,,tion Of its having heretofore violated
the interstate law 1t viii GER
ltainly appear that since the passage of
tina law there has been no violation
of it's provisions by either the Standard
iOil Company of New Jersey or the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana"
Judge Lands listened with much In
%terest, and when the reading concluded
said abruptly:
The final order in this case will be
entered August s. Call the next case
