OLD MEN TO RETIRE.
Younger Element Taking Active Part
in Standard Oil Affairs.

Younger Element Taking Active Part
in Standard Oil Affairs.
New York, Sept. 2,.-Wall street
generally believes that new era in
the personnel Of the Standard OIL com
pany leaders Is beginning. It is
thought that the younger element in
the great corporation is coming to the
front and that the older element is
rslinquishing it's active hold upon the
affairs of the company and those of
the vast interests which have been
affiliated with it. John D. Rockefeller,
Jr, William G. Rockefeller, Urban H.
Broughton, son-in-law of H. H. Rogers,
younger men who are looked upon by
the street as now directing affairs.
William Rockefeller is regarded as
likely to take a principal part still in
the company's councils, but most of
the other men who have been called
the makers of the Standard Oh COM
pany, including John D. Rockefeller,
ST., John D. Archbold and H. H. Rog-
ers. arc expected hereafter to leave to
their juniors the task Of handling the
giant business which they founded.
What leads the street to hold these
views Is the recent decision of the
directorate Of the Amalgamated Cop
per company to cut down the output
Of the mines to one-half the normal.
It is held that this is a departure from
the policy which was pursued several
years ago when the copper market
was declining and that it signifies that
the younger element is in control.

NO MORE GREEN CoNsuLs
Appointees Must Take Course Before
Going Abroad

Washington, Sept. mo more
green consuls are to be sent abroad
to represent America if the plans of
the state department which have just
been put in practice realize expecta-
tons. Ever since the establishment
of the consular service it has been
customary to allow newly appointed
consul thirty days with pay before
leaving for his post. A room in the
department has been equipped as a
complete working American consulate,
suitable to transact the business of an
American consul in any part Of the
world, civilized or uncivilized.
Appointees are no longer permitted
to spend that thirty days period in
their own way, but are required to re-
port every day at the state department
for duty and to spend certain num-
Der of hours in this model consular
Office, receiving instructions and &C.
Quainting themselves with every prac.
teal detail of consul's daily work.
The best of instruction is provided.

WHAT The KIDNEYS DO.
Their UnceasinG Work Heaps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, wnen unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is lett in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys,
James Bridges, living on Third
St., Bemidji, Mimi, says: 81 am
so glad to have the opportunity of

Owns More Than one.fourth Of All
Outstanding Stock.
adduced at the hearing of the federal
suit against the Standard Oh company
Of New Jersey, which Frank B. KEEL
logg, who is conducting the govern
ment's action, says tends to prove
that the Standard Oh company Is op-
Grating in Texas under the name of
the Corsicana Refining company. The
Texas antitrust laws forbid the Stand
ard Oh company from doing business
within that state. Mr.. Kellogg devel-
oped from Wesley M. Tilford, treas
urer of the Standard OIL company,
that H. c. Folger and c. M. Payne,
who. Mr.. Kellogg said. We're the own
ers Of the Corsicana company, are off,
oials Of the Standard Oh company.
Mr.. Kellogg further developed the
fact that John D. Rockefeller owned
more than a one-fourth interest in the
old Standard OIL trust. Mr.. Tilford
testified that it was correct that Mr..
Rockefeller owned 256,S54 shares out
Of a total Of 972,500 shares of Stand
ard Oil trust certificates in 1892 and
that later an assignment was made
transferring to Mr.. Rockefeller his
proportionate interest in the stocks
Of the subsidiary companies.
Hearing May Be Prolonged.
Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer of the
Standard Oil company, was questioned
by Attorney Kellogg in an effort to
CLEAN further facts and figures con-
corning the development of the Stand
ard OIL trust and its subsequent liQui-
dalton into the present Standard OIL
company of New Jersey. Mr.. Kellogg
said that the records Of the liquidating
trustees, which had been finally fur
nished by the Standard OIL company,
were being examined by the govern
ment's counsel and that it might be
several days before the information
desired could be produced in court.
Mr.. Kellogg also intimated that fur
Their witnesses might be subpoenaed
as a result of the developments of the
last two days and that the hearings
would likely be prolonged for some
time.
When the hearing reopened after
the noon recess former Judge Ferriss,
sitting as special master, announced
that the proceedings would be ad-
journed because of the Illness Of one
of the counsel. John G. Milburn said
that his associate, Moritz Rosenthal,
was suffering from slight indisposi-
ton.

NEXT PEACE CONFERENCE
Delegates to The Hague Adopt Reso.
luton Concerninu It,

IutIon concerning IL.
The Hague, Sept. 2'.-All the heads
II the various delegations present at
the international peace conference met
during the day under the presidency
of M. Nelidoff and unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution in regard
to the converting of future confer.
mces:
"The conference recommends to the
powers the convocation of third con.
ference within period similar to that
which elapsed between the former
conferences, leaving the exact date to
be fixed by common accord of the
powers. The conference calls the at
tention of the powers to the necessity
of having the work of the conference
prepared a sufficient time before it's
meeting so that its deliberations may
be taken with the indispensable au-
thority and rapidity.
ITO attain this object the confer
ence thinks it very desirable that
about two years before the probable
date of convocation a preparatory
committee be entrusted by the gov
ernments with the collection of the
different propositions to be submitted
to the conference and the gathering of
matters susceptible of being embodied
in International regulations and that
the committee prepare a programme
about which the governments will
agree early enough to have it earnest
ly started in each country. The con-
ference recommends that this COM
mittee be also entrusted to propose a
system of organization and procedure
for the conference"
The resolution will be submitted
for approval to the plenary session to
be held Sept. Fl. sE .-i.
