STANDARDS PLAN

Twelve Men Manipulate Whole
Petroleum Field
Monopoly Not Based on Production,
But Control of Transportation
Lines.
REPORT RETURNED

Washington, May 20.-That the
history and principal operation of the
standard Oil interest shows through
lout the past thirty-fve years a sub
stantial monopolization of the petrol
cum industry of the country, a delib-
crate destruction of competition and
a consequent control of that industry
by less than a dozen men, who have
reaped enormous profits therefrom.
largely through abuse of the trans
portation facilities is charged In a
report just submitted to President
Roosevelt by Commissioner of Cor
porations Herbert Knox Smith.
The report states, through "scand-
alous railway determinations" and
other unlawful devices, they have Sc
cured and maintained an Exclusive
domination of the p troleum indus
TRY"
1t is stated that In 1904 the Stand
ard and affiliated concerns refined
over "a per cent. of the crude oil
run through refineries: produced
more than SO per cent. of the coun-
Itry's total output OF Illuminating oil,
and transported through pipe lines
NEARLY nine-tenths of the crude oil of
the other fields and SO per cent. of
the crude oil of the mid-contlnent
field"
The report points out that the mo-
|nopoly enjoyed by the company does
not rest on the ownership OF the
source of the oil supply. which
amounts to about only one-sixth of
the total of 1856. 900. 900 barrels, but
that its growth and present power
rests primarily on the control of the
transportation facilities"
Having established monopoly of
the pipe line business, It has in sub
stance refused to act as a common
carrier or to transport and deliver
oil for Independent producers or to
independent refneries.

Coal operators on the Louisville
division of the Illinois Central rail-
road, and officials of that railroad
will meet at the Palmer House to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock to dis
cuss the car situation with the view
of revising the company's distribu-

from May 20 to 25. Other meetings
for coal operators on other divisions
of the Illinois Central will be held
at st. Louis and Evansville.
In letter issued by the railroad
to the coal operators, the reason for
the meetings Is given as desire to
improve the rules governing the dis
tribution of coal cars. The present
rules were put into effect September
I, 1906, and as complaints Of dis
continue to be heard, this
sries of meetings will allow the OPP

FIRST DISTRICT
VOTE In DOUBT
Ferguson May Lose all of
Gardeners Counties
Delegations From This Section Go To
Henderson Convention Today
In Special Car.
HOW THEY ARE INSTRUCTED

McCracken, Graves and Fulton
counties delegations to the Hender-
son convention had special car on
No. 102 at 11:25 O'Clock this morn
ing.
According to the face of the re-
turns from the First railroad dis
trlct Democratic county conventions,
to choose delegates to the convention
at Henderson tomorrow Finn should
go in with 1876 votes, Ferguson with
100, Landram with 40, Gardner with
sc and Southall with 81. To these
on second instructions and obvious
combinations there should be added
for Ferguson all of Landram's votes.
ten from Henderson, IL from Web
ster and 6 from Trigg, bringing his
total to 167. Finn should receive Z
from Henderson, giving him 1862.
Necessary to choice 1872.
Ferguson is depending on getting
all the First congressional district
vote on the break. Landram probably
will not be mentioned, giving his
vote to Ferguson, and it is now doubt
full if Southall or Gardner will figure
in the convention, allowing the lead
ers to fight 1t out.
Landram and Ferguson formed a
combination here and Gardeners men
are contending that their vote will
go solidly against Ferguson on the
break. That would give Finn all of
Gardeners s6, If he could control it;
but Ferguson may have seen to 1t In
the Gardner counties that Ferguson
men are on the delegation.

Gardner succeeds in delivering a
mass OF First district votes, the
moral effect 10 likely to sweep the
convention for Finn. Mr.. Ferguson,
however. before he left Paducah, ex-
pressed satisfaction with the sltua-

over 240 votes on second ballot.

City Hall Crowd and Harrison Fac
ton Lock Horns and Latter
Get Worst OF IL.
EFFECT OF THE COMBINATION

More than casual interest in the
effect of the Acknowledgment com
bination on the Gardner contingent's
vote is aroused by contemplation of
the county convention Saturday;
for the lineup shows the city hall
crowd and the Harrison followers on
opposite sides, indicating that the
line of cleavage in local Democracy
is as distinct as 1t was on the day of
the primary. This time the those,
whose temporary asylum is in the
municipal building picked the win
ming side; for the Harrison followers
were for Bunk Gardner to a man.
Indeed. it may be said that Bunk
Gardner's defeat in McCracken coun-
ty was entirely due to the schism
caused by the late primary CAM
lpaign, as 1t is known that the city
hall contingent walked into the con-
Ivention over one hundred strong
bent on accomplishing the defeat of
Iwhomsoever their natural enemies
should support 1t was an effort OF
the winners at the recent primary to
their hold on the county
machinery by controlling the delega-
tion to the Henderson convention,
and more successful effort on the
part of the other faction to prevent
their doing so.
1t was good politics. 1t affords
Chief of Police Collins friends an
opportunity to show that they are
still numerous and politically infu-
entail, and it must have impressed
the primary winners.
Bunk Gardner got beat by ma
jority just about equal to the repre-
sentation in the convention of the
anti-Harrison faction.
Result Of Combination.
This element with the combina-
ton of the Ferguson forces,
forecasted in The Sun two days be-
fore the convention brought about
the Ferguson instructions in this
county. 1t was lively fight and now
the question remains to be answered.
how will the combination against
Gardner affect the First district
vote when it comes to the final show
down at Henderson?
Ferguson, Landram and Gardner
are all from this district 1t now
looks as though Ferguson and Finn
would be the champions. Each will
need the support of his own district,
and Ferguson will count on getting
both the Landram and Gardner votes
If these two pull out. Politicians
are asking will Gardner agree to
this, or will he, in revenge for the
combination against him, try to
throw his 3S votes to someone else?

One-Eighth Fruited.


OF the entire 1900 setting, about one
eighth of them have fruited. OF these
SO many, especially of the Ben Davis
seedlings, are sweet, which are not con.
sidered of much value. The Rome
Beauty seems to furnish striped ear

has given many with delicate bushes
OF all those noted, the earliest and
most admired, except in cold is seed
ling from the Kansas Keeper. Quail
ties considered in such specimens, are
size, color, quantity, quality and flavor
of fruit and the shape, leaves and har-
diness of the tree.
During the worlds fair at st. Louis
large number of seeds were obtained
from apples grown in most states OF
the union, from which now over 6OC
seedlings are growing that will be
watched with much interest.
Another part of this orchard is set
with nursery stock trees, two of a kind
of the 160 varieties, to test their values
upon such soil and environment

from seed secured by cross fertilization
of certain standard varieties, by hand

bination of desired qualities of both

From a consideration of the expert
mental work done, it Is seen that the
plans adopted have not been carried
on sufficiently long to give any def
mite results, but, it is expected that
some good may result from the work
in the end, for all, the obstacles that
confront the board are often most dis

would be far better, it seems. if the or

where more horticultural help can be
easily secured.

is STILL YOUNG.
IT HAS NOT BEEN CARRIED ON
SUFFICIENTLY LONG TO GET AN
ADEQUATE IDEA OF WHAT CAN
BE DONE.

Saturday evening Walter s. Ratliff
returned from a visit to the state ex-
pertinent orchard located near Mitch
ell. Lawrence county, where the state
board of horticulture held session to
examine the orchard work being done,
and outlining plans for future opera
tons.
This is a plot of land owned by the
state and located about 40 miles south
of Indianapolis. 1t has a sandy-clay-
ey soil, underlaid with limestone. suf-
ficiently undulating to insure natural
drainage.
The cultivation of the orchard is
done with disc harrows, without any
growing of crops. There are several
settings of seedlings, that of 1900, of
about 200 trees, is the most forward
and is receiving the greatest care.
These are all apples and are seedlings
grown from seeds of many Of the
standard varieties, such as Ben Davis,
Rome Beauty, Mann. Salome, Wine
sap, Grimes Golden, and a few others.
They are placed in rows about feet
apart, carefully trimmed and sprayed
twice with Bordeaux solution after the
blossoms fall.
In order to precipitate fruiting, the
bodies OF the trees are girdled
with a sharp knife about two feet
above the surface of the SOIL This is
done in June each year, on a part of
the trees at time. This process pre-
vents the return of the sap from the
top of the tree and crowds" fruiting.
This method, however, often costs the
life of the tree, but is followed in or
der to determine the fruiting of those
that might be slow in coming into
bearing.
