than the doubtful utterances Of people
living everywhere else in the Union?

Mrs Angie Vincent, Trayers street,
Cambridge, Md, says: "Doan's kidney
Pills cured me of distressing case of
kidney complaint and backache some
four years ago. l did not know at first
that my kidneys were the cause of all
my misery as the pains seemed to be
through my loins and Gown through the
hips. Any sudden move, or mis-step,
arising from sitting position, stoop-
ing. attempting to lift or any exertion
Was sure to bring on sharp, shooting
pains in some part of my body, and any
change of westher affected me. There
WAS a steady dull pain through my loins
which kept me awake nights, and I
would feel in the mornings as if had
bel working ali night. This told on
nv general health, my appetite failed
me-, consequently lost flesh, and after
th sse attacks of excruciating agony, in
the lull that followed, there was feel

me for any work. Alter using a num-
Der of remedies, and being treated by a
physician and getting no better, OBJ

THE TRICKY OIL TRUST
Faxed Liquidation to Comply
With Ohio Courts Order.
HEAVY LENDER OF MONEY

Standard Last Year Loaned Over
S32,ooo,ooo to Other "lnterests.'
May Call On William G. Rockefeller
to Explain.
New York, Oct 1O.-The method
through which the Standard Oil Trust
liquidated the company in order to
comply with the order of the Ohio
courts was further unfolded when
Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer OF the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
was recalled to the witness stand in
the federal suit against the so-called
trust. Statements compiled from stock
books of the various subsidiary COM
panies during the period of the trust
liquidation were placed on the record,
and from these transcripts and from
Mr.. Tilford. the governments counsel,
Frank B. Kellogg. says that the gov
ernment's charge that only a pseudo
liouidation was effected and that the
trust continued it's operations as an
entity and under the same control as
at the time of its inception in~fSS2,
has been proved.
Mr.. Kellogg was able to develop
that the liquidating trustees and their
associates liquidated only enough
trust certificates to give them a ma
jority of the stocks of the 90 subsidi.
ary companies. and that they voted
these stocks as individuals and main.
tained constant control over the In
tegral companies. The dividends de-
c,ared on the stocks of these compa-
nies were paid diredtly to those holders
who had liquidated their trust certif1-
Gates and to the trustees who held the
stocks against the uniquidated certifi-
Gates of the trust. Mr.. Kellogg show
ed that the trustees and one or two as
sociates were the only certificate hold
ers who liquidated their shares N the
old Standard Oil Trust.
Mr. Tilford testified that the cross
town pipe line under Central Park.
whose ownership has caused consider
able perplexity to the federal counsel
when it did not appear on the books

the New York company.

Line company over a period of several
years. Efforts to ascertain the nature
of these loans by the federal counsel
at a previous hearing, developed moth
ing of moment.
That the Standard Oil company OF
New York was a lender of millions of
its surplus funds was testified to by
Mr.. Tilford. From a statement OF the
company it was developed that over
$50. 0OO, 900 was loaned last year to in
terests other than the Standard
What these interests were and the ma
ture of the loans. Mr.. Tilford was un=
able to say. Mr.. Kellogg said he would
call William G. Rockefeller, the treas
urer of the company, to throw light on
these loans.

special train No. 25 from New York
to Chicago on the Pennsylvania rail
road met with an accident at Pitcairn,
Pa, few miles east of this city, and
five persons were injured. A hot
journal on the locomotive of train No
95 necessitated the renewal of en-
gines and the train was pulled from
the main track at Pitcairn until the
change could be made. A local pas
senger train approached the network
of tracks. and the engineer did not
notice until he was a few rods away
that the rear Pullman coach OF the
through train stood directly across his
path. He applied the brakes, but could
not avert the crash. One side OF the
Pullman car was shattered.
