Member of Many Clubs.

Outside of his oil interests and his
pet university the oil monarch devotes
some of his energies to philanthropic
institutions. He is a director of the
Postgraduate hospital and of st.
Christopher's home in New York city.
He is also member OF six clubs and
of five art. geographical and natural
history societies. Yet he is no nature
fakir nor is he as yet on the Roosevelt
list of prevaricators.
In 1879 William Fl. Vanderbilt, one
of the first great railroad kings, testi-
fed before a New York legislative
committee that was inquiring into
Standard Oil methods to secure low
rates from the railroads. Thus early
| the rebate problem became important.
Referring to John d. Archbold and his
fellow associates, Mr.. Vanderbilt said:
They are very shrewd men. 1 think
they are smarter fellows than am, q
good deal. 1 don't believe that by any
legislative enactment or anything else.
through any of the states or all of the
states, you can keep such men down.
You can't do it. They will be on top
all the time. You see if they are not"
But that was when Herbert S. Had.
ley was a small boy.

Company Operating Owns AIS Miles of

BY the end OF the next year. if tinan

will be possible for the tourist to go &c

be walked up in time for breakfast il
st. Louis, travelling the entire distance
by single trolley line, says Il Chicago
dispatch to the New York Herald.
The Illinois Traction system, as the
line is called, the name railroad hav-
ing been definitely abandoned, now
covers the state from Peoria eastward
TO Danville and south to East st.
Louis. TrackaGe already in operation
amounts approximately to 4T5 miles.
There is now under construction 105
miles of road and the general scheme
provides for about 100 miles moro.
This will give a completed system
with trackage in the neighborhoOd
of 700 miles.
Considerably more than half of the
whole work has been completed, the
building of n great bridge across the
Mississippi at East st. Louis is actual
ly under contract and the plans of the
promoters involve continuous line
between Chicago and st. Louis. Thus
the system is not only the largest In
Illinois, but it runs the longest dis
lance without transfers.
1t is of the pure interurban type and
has not as yet been taken up with
suburban business, such as that which
largely supports the lines from Chica
go to Aurora on the west, Joliet or
the south and Racine on the north
Furthermore, the Illinois system is not
only running sleeping cars between
Springfield and East st. Louis regu
larry every night, but is also managing
limited trains between the principa
cities on quite frequent schedules, run

II FORUM 's '5s. way :. "a.
friends says concerning john
D. Archbold, the real head of the
Standard Oil trust. the active working
principal in control of the gigantic
monopoly. Standard Oil has two John
DIS. Most persons are accustomed to
look upon John ID. Rockefeller as the
big boss of the combine, but recent
developments have shown that it Is
Archbold, the other John D., who
works while Rockefeller sleeps. In
fact, Mr.. Archbold himself admits this,
though he is accounted a modest indi-
vidual and not in any wise prone to
placing his own Importance under the
magnifying lens. As the reigning oil
king for dozen years past John d.
Archbold, John d. the second, is en-
titled to the limelight.
There is something nightly mysteri-
Gus about Standard Oil. We hear of
smooth and oily individuals. Those
terms apply to Standard Oil in more
emphatic degree than to any mere in
dividual. Standard Oil, which is large
~ an illuminant. hid its light under 4
bushel for many years until Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri descended
upon New York and lifted the bushel.
Mr.. Hadley simply asked questions,
under warrant of law, and insisted
upon answers. His queries were clear

that he mast speak up when Hadley

cause he vas aware that the MissOu-
Fian had prObcd deeply into Standard

Five O'clock Tea In Business Office,

Serving tea in business offices is a
new practice. The custom has spread
rapidly in Wall street and is practieed
principally in the offices of large bank
ing houses at the close of banking
hours, says What to Eat The fad

ers. at first Stunned. then tolerated.
then embraced by the older heads.
Now tea and waters are regularly serv.
ed every afternoon in the private Of
fees of many large institutions. An
interesting feature of the spread of
the custom is it's adoption by the head
of prominent department of one of
the largest banks. The banker Is an
Irishman. and his assistants are Ger
mans. Nevertheless all gather at a

beverages as Irish whisky and PilsDer

Rockefeller Merely Figurehead.

So 1t happened that when year or
so ago the modest Mr.. Archbold was
placed under the Hadley searchlight
disclosures were made which threw
much light upon dark subject
You are perhaps" suavely queried
Mr.. Hadley, more active than any
other individual, longer in service and
more prominent in connection with the
oil side of the businesY'
"It Is perhaps fair to say that
am" replied the modest Mr.. Archbold
Then the world learned that for al!
least ten years John d. Rockefeller
had been merely a fgurehead in
Standard Oil, John d. the second hay-
ing succeeded to the throne.
John Dustin Archbold is of Scotch
ancestry, born about sixty years ago
I'm Steubenville, o. His parents took
him as small boy to Titusyille, Pa,
where John d. went to school more or
less and then clerked in a country
store until the Pennsylvania oil fields
grew up all around him and he found
his calling. The young man, like many
others of that period, saved every dol.
lar he could and invested it in oil
properties. BY the time he was TWEEN
ty-four he had become a considerable
local figure in oil, around Titusville.
Archbold's first appearance in oil
history is thus recorded by Miss Tar
bell, who wrote the history of Stand
ard Oil:
ain the early fall of 1875 there ap-
peared John d. Archbold. an energetic
young refiner and oil buyer we'll
known in Titusville as the representa-
tive of new company, the Acme Oil
company, a concern which everybody
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-10-21

believed to be an offshoot of the
Standard. though nobody could prove
It, AS matter of fact, the Acme was
capitalized and controlled entirely by
Standard men. its stockholders being.
in addition to Mr.. Archbold, William
Rockefeller, w. G. Worden, f. Q.
Barstow and Charles Pratt. 1t was ev-
ideut at once that the Acme had come
into the oil regions for the purpose of
absorbing the Independent interests. as
Mr.. Rockefeller and his colleagues
were absorbing them elsewhere"
John D. Archbold has been absorb
ing the Independent interests ever
since and largely on the sly. as in the
Acme instance. When the original oil
trust was formed in 1882 he became
one of the nine trustees of the concern.
Later he became vice president and,
as we have said, the practical working
head of the business. Archbold seems
to have made speciality of the trans
portation end, the pipe line side of the
serpentine monopoly, but he knows the
whole oil business from A to- lizard.
When Attorney General Hadley fired
pertinent questions at him, requiring
answers in figures, Mr.. Archbold quot
ed statistics without referring to rec
ords. All We're contained within that
remarkable head of his.

lose for the time being that fine sense
by those who know him best. Arch
bold is a small man with q large head.
His height is about five feet three
inches. but his head is big enough for
seven footer That Uranium fairly
bulges with bumps of aggressiveness.
secretiveness. bulldog tenacity and
other elements highly useful in Stand.
ard Oil methods, wherefore 1t came
about that when Archbold was on the
witness stand the newspaper cartoon
lists sketched him with these phreno-
logical bumps properly accentuated
according to cartooning traditions.
The Archbold head is spherical. save
for the brain bulges. 1t is the head OF
jolly good fellow as such things are
considered. 1t is the head of man
who laughs heartily and cracks joke
betimes, and those things this John D.
does upon occasion.
But John d. could not stand the car
toons. Once he leaped from the wit
ness chair and snatched pencil from
4 cartoonist's fingers. He requested
the protection of the commissioner on
the bench. and that parsonage smiling
ly excluded the cartoonist.
"You newspaper chaps are all right"
remarked Mr.. Archbold to the report
ers, "but the artists are Infamous"
At another time John D. lost his
temper and made remarks white hot
with epithets. That was when Attor.
ney General Monnett of Ohio had him
in the tolls. An attorney for the other
side put some peppery questions.
Archbold grew palpably angry. The
lawyer remarked that Mr.. Archbold
looked In fighting trim. to which the
witness responded instantly:
I'm in trim. you dog. you miserable
whelp. you dirty liarr'
Nevertheless John D. is good natured.
Otherwise he could not have laughed
himself into great fortune. His
smile is u roseatet aurora of good
cheer. When he laughs you wonder
how such big laugh can emerge from
such small larynx.
