IN STANDARD Al % OIL SUIT
Will Disclose System Of Rebates--At-
torney for Trust Says the Oil Cor
poration Will Attempt to Conceal
Nothing. .
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Sept, 23-It is under
stood that Frank G, Kellogg, counsel
for the government in the suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil company OF
new Jersey, has important evidence In
his possession bearing on the alleged
relationship of railroad rebates and
the profits in the operation during
the past eight years. 1t is also said
that this phase of Mr.. Kellogg's case
is being reserved until the line of
questioning, he pursued last week, is
finished.
To back the report of evidence, Mr..
Kellogg has had subpoenaes served on
several railroad men, among them be-
ing Jefferson Justice, assistant con-
troller of the Pennsylvania railroad;
r. w. Browning, ex-controller of the
Pennsylvania lines, and T.. w. McCul-
Tough, auditor of the freight accounts
of the New York Central. They have
been ordered to produce certain pa
pers used in the transportation of oil.
John D. Milburn, counsel for the
Standard Oil company, has made a
statement about the hearing in which
he said that the company has nothing
to conceal and that it is perfectly
willing to place at Mr.. Kellogg's dis
posal any Of its records.

INDEPENDENTS CUT PRICE FRS
Treasurer -rilford Explains Fight 4
Colorado Oil Field.

New York, Sept. 23.-The line of de-
Tense of the Standard Oil company OF
New Jersey to the allegations made
by the federal government in the suit
against the company, was indicated III
the oil hearing today when w. H. Til
ford, treasurer of the Standard Oil
company, was cross-examined on the
witness stand by John G.. Milburn,
chief counsel for the defendant. Mr.
Milburn's interrogatories to the wit
ness were designed to show that in
the oil fight in Colorado, between the
Standard and independent companies,
the first to cut prices were the inde-
pendent companies, and that there
were no troubles made for the indie
pendent companies except what arose
from natural causes. .
Mr.. Tilford explained that the rea-
son why the supply Of crude oil had
been cut down to the 16 independent
companies in the Pittsburg field, just
before the agreement was made with
the Standard Oil company, was be.
cause of the oil supply in that dis
trict diminishing
Mr.. Milburn developed the fact that
the oil firm of scofeld, schurmer &
Beadle of Cleveland, an independent
company, was not forced into the
Standards control, but had been TAX
en- over after many suggestions of the
officers of the scofield company. The
questions that adduced this testimony
and others put to the witness showed
that the defendants intend to meet
the government on every point raised
in the long bill of complaints.

The Pennsgrove Athletic Association Of
Pennsgrove, n. j., has organized a base
bah team for the season, and from the
material composing the team and the
work they have done in their practice

known young men of this thrifty town on
the Delaware, and have been picked for
their ability and knowledge Of the great
American game
From their experience in the past years
with teams from the surrounding towns
and cities the members feel they will be
in position to cope with all the first
class teams Of their age who care to ac
cent challenge.
Tho frequent service Of the Steamer
Ulrica between Pennsgrove and Whining
