MORE LIGHT
ON STANDARD
Profits of the Indiana Company More
Than 1000 Per Cent.
Was Much Juggling With Books to
Cover Up Real Extent of Earn
ings - Indiana Concern Biggest
Producer Of the Subsidiary Com
panies.

New York, Sept. IGNORE light was
shed upon the remarkable earning Ca
pacity Of the various subsidiary COM
panies of the Standard Oil company
yes terday when Frank O. Kellogg, who
is conducting the Federal suits, sue
ceeded in placing upon the record the
profits Of II of the principal subsidiary
companies in the years 1903 and 1905.
The statement Of earnings of the Stand
ard Oil comany of Indiana, which was
recently fined 500, 100000 by Judge
Lands, of Chicago, for rebating, dis
closed that in 1906 the company earned
$1O,5l6,082 on capitalization of $1,-
900, 900, or over l 900 per cent year.
The Indiana company in 1906 earned
more than any subsidiary company of
the big combine.
Mr. Kellogg developed during the
day, while Clarence G. Fay, assistant
comptroller of the Standard Oil COM
pany, was on the stand, curious prob
lem Of financial bookkeeping or hand
ling Of accounts, which Mr.. Fay failed
to explain. From figures submitted it
was shown that the Standard Oil COM
pany Of New York in 1904 made pro-
fit of $7,775, ,76O, and paid as dividends
to the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey the total sum of $32,99S, ,430.
This transaction reduced the net assets
of the New York company from $40,
425, 900 to SIS, ,179,706, while the liza
bilities leaped from $47 ,646, 235 in 1908
to $S1 1896. .145 in 1904, an increase of
nearly $34 100000 The gross assets
of the New York company, however, in
creased from $SS,0r4,56l in 1903 to
500, ,574 1852 in 1904. Meanwhile the
accounts receivable Of the Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey grew from $19,-
045 ,04l in 1903 to $5S, ,272, ,924.
Mr.. Fay was closely questioned as to
the nature Of the increased liabilities
of the New York company, and the in.
crease in the accounts receivab BILE of the
STANDARD Oil company, of New Jersey,
but he said he could not tell until be
had examined the books of both COM
panies, which he told Mr.. kellogg he
would do.

LOOKS INTO
CAR SHORTAGE
0. R. & N. Go. Is Not Equipped for
Traffic. Says Lane.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Talks Frankly of Conditions in
Northwest-Thinks Shippers Have
Legitimate Cause for Complaint
Against Western Roads.

Portland, Sept. 17.-That the Ore
gen Railroad & Navigation company is
not adequately equipped to handle the
traffic entrusted to it, and that it Ia the
worst offender in this respect in the en-
tire territory of the Northwestern lines,
is the verdict of Interstate Commerce
Commissioner franklin K. Lane, whose
Investigations in Portland yesterday in
cluded a look into the car shortage. He
found the outlook very gloomy in this
state. He talked with lumbermen and
other shippers during the day, and ex-
pressed himself freely on this subject
last night.
The car situation is very serious" "
said he. "shippers have legitimate
cause for complaint at their inability
to get equipment. The railroad men
themselves admit they are unable to
handle the traffic offered. The O. R.
& N. seems to be the worst road in this
territory as far as car supply goes.
"There is some complaint Of discrim-
ination in the matter of cars. 1t is
charged that the eastern end Of the sys-
tenn is favored as against this end.
There is no way to remedy this, except
for the roads to get a larger number Of
cars. Of course the question is still
unsolved whether the O. r. & N. is
using all it's equipment to the best ad-
vantage, but there is no doubt that for
an originating road, it has too little
equipment.
"The Northern Pacific last year put
into service four times as many new
cars as the o. R. & N. owns today.
The O. R. & N. had on it's line in June
of this year about 5,421 cars, Of which
300 were borrowed and 500 it's own.
The Oregon Short Line owns 1000 cars
and had in June approximately that
number on it's tracks. The o. R. & N.
has 500 cars ordered, and the Oregon
Short Line 600.
"The managers have on the Southern
Pacific system car pool, by which cars
owned by any of the Hartman lines
are treated as at home, no matter on
which of the allied lines they are, but
here is strong rivalry between all
parts of the system to make a showing,
70 that the o. R. & N, which is the
worst off for cars of any road in this
.erritory, has a difficult time Of it's
own, owing to it's short equipment, in
keeping within seeing distance of it's
business"

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 1s.-According
to mail advices from Toxic, Japan

ground that, as it lies between the

DEFiES TEXAS LAWS.
Standard Oil Does Business IN State
Under Alias.

S'NS1
New York, Sept. 20.-That the
Standard Oil company is operating un-
der the name OF the Corsicana Refining
company in the state of Texas, which
has forbidden the oil combine to op.
crate within the state, was indicated
yesterday when Wesley H. Tilfcrd,
treasurer Of the Standard Oil company,
under examination in the governments g
suit against the company, testified that
II. G. Folger and G. M. Payne, whom
Mr.. Kellogg, the attorney for the gov
ernment, states, control the Corsicana
company, are prominent in the conduct
of the affairs of the Standard Oil COM
any.
Mr.. Kellogg sought to draw from the
witness the information that the Corsi.
cana company was really Standard
Oil company and was operating in
TeIas because the antitrust laws of
that state would not permit the COM
bine to operate. Mr.. Tilford replied
that as far as he knew the Standard Oil
company had no interest in Texas. He
said that Mr.. Folger and Mr.. Payne
were both officers OF the Standard Oil
company, but he was not aware that
they owned the Corscana company.
Mr.. Kellogg spent busy day tracing
the various changes in development Of
Standard Oil from the time of its ir-
ception in 1882, when the trust was
formed, until the trust was dissolved in
1899 and the Standard Oil company Of
New Jersey was formed. Mr.. Kellogg
developed many of his questions from
the trust agreement of 1882, which was
contained in the bill of complaint filed
in st. Louis last December, when the
present action was commenced.

Yellow Fever in Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-In dispatch
from Havana, Governor Magoon says
that four new cases of yellow fever were
discovered in Cienfugoes yesterday and
three today. All are Spaniards except
one American soldier, Private William

increased efficiency of the medical pa

Reduce Rates One.Third. /.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE state
board of railroad commissioners has
prepared a tariff sheet providing a re.
duction in freight rates of about 3Sl5
per cent, which it will present to the
legislature if a special session is called.
Governor Hoch has practically said he
will call a special session if the roads
do not grant the two-cent fare rate.
This puts the question squarely up to
the railroads of either granting the
two-cent fare or of facing fight.
