Enormous Profits Of the
Standard Oil Co.
S49O,315,934 In the Eight
Years, 1899 10 1906.
The Total Capital Stock Is Only
S9S,338,382.

New York, Sept 17.--Delving into the
financial workings Of the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey. the holding COM
pany of all the subsidiary organizations
of the so-called Oil Trust, Frank b
Kellogg, conducting the federal suit
for the dissolution Of the company
brought forth today to public view for
the first time the enormous profits
made by the Standard Oil Co.
In a period of eight years from 1898
to 1906 inclusive, the Standard Oil Co,
on a statement spread upon the record
OF today'S hearings was shown to have
earned the total profits OF $3.50 315. 1854.
or at the rate Of more than $4,000 900
a year, and distributed to it's share
holders in the same period s30S. 1853, 4O3.
While the company was earning these
vast sums in the refining of oil the
statements adduced at the hearing to-
day show that between 1899 and 1906
the assets of the company grew by
leaps and bounds from 5000, 79l. 523 to
s37l ,664 ,531. The capital stock is SOS, 1885,
3Sz.
Financiers and those seeking knowl-
edge of the exact profits Of the Stand
ard Co.. have striven vainly to obtain
the figures which Mr.. Kellogg succeed
ed today in placing upon the records
Of the court. The Standard Oil Co.
makes no statement of its business and
other than the declaration of dividend
it makes no public announcement by
which its business may be gagged.
The hearing today brought out much
information. including a statement
that the Standard Oil Co. of New Jer-
sey controlled by stock ownership over
10 companies engaged in the refining
and the transportation by pipe line of
oil on Sept. IA, 1907. The Standard Oil
Co. has always carefully guarded the
list Of it's subsidiary companies and the
amount Of its Shareholdings. The list
showed that the Standard Oil Co of
New Jerey owned 1886, 900 of the total
capital stock OF 1000, 900 of the Stand
ard Oil Co. Of Indiana. which was re-
Gently fined s2924O. 900 by Judge Lands
at Chicago.
Mr.. ke!lDeg's efforts to obtain infor-
nation Of the records of the liquidating
trustees. who had charge Of the liqui-
dalton of the Standard Oil Trust and
the exchange OF the liquidating trust
certificates for the shares OF the Stand
ard OIL Co. Of New Jersey were not re-
warded.
Charles NJ. Pratt. secretary Of the
Standard OIL Co., who testified that he
had been liquidating trustee, said he
did not know the whereabouts Of the
records and could recall but little re-
garding the liquidation Of the Standard
Oil Trust.

for the Standard Oil Co.. the final wit
hess today. was also unable to give The
governments inquisitor the Informal
ton he desired. which caused MIR KEEL
l"gg to remark just before tn, hearing
closed that he thought 1t strange that
no one in the Standard OIL Co. seemed
to know where the records of the IL
quidating trustees could be found
