JOHN D. Is ONE
QUARTER OWNER
STANDARD OIL MACNATE'S
HOLDINGS IN TRUST IL WORTH
500, 900. 900.

New York, Sept. 2l.-Records of
the stockholders of the Standard Oil
company OF New Jersey. laid bare
yesterday at the hearing OF the gov
ernment's suit for the dissolution of
the alleged oil combine. disclosed
the fact that John ID. Rockefeller
owns 247,692 shares. or nearly five
times as much stock as any other in
diyidual shareholder. and that he
and his associates who signed the
trust agreement in 1882 still control
a majority OF the Standard Oil
stock. Measured by the present
market price of $44O a share. the
holdings OF Mr. Rockefeller in the
Standard OIL company have value
OF 1O9,00O.000. The stockholders
record of August II, 1907, shows
that the University of Chicago is the
owner of 5000 shares of Standard
Oil stock.
The depreciation in the price of
Standard Oil stock within the past
ten years. about the time the agita-
tion against the company began. has
been more than $4OO a share. Since
the legal proceedings against the
Standard oil company of New Jer-
sey were instituted the stock has
steadily declined until It is now
around $44O. This represents a loss
of over $1OO.OOO.OO on the holdings
of John ID. Rockefeller. The shrink
age in the market value OF the stock
also affects the University OF Chi
cago to the extent OF about $4,000
600.
Mr.. Kellogg asked If the Standard
OIL did not determine the market
price, and Mr.. Tilford replied that If
did.
Some interesting facts concerning
the conduct of the marketing of the
standards products were developed
yesterday when II was testified bv
MY Tilford that a committee CON
trolfed the dometsic trade. Mr.. Till
ford stated that the United States
was apportioned in districts and
that the selling companies assigned
to those districts confred their op-
erauons to the territory assigned
them. The accountants for the gov
ernment now at work preparing data
VIII be ready to report next week.
Their report, it is declared. will en-
able the government to develop In
tn hearing that since the Inception
OF the Standard Oil trus' in 1882
up to the present time, the total prof
It's of the oil combine have been
between $SOO,OOO,OOO and $500.
