STANDARD OIL HAS, MONOPOLY
COmmissIOner of Corporations Makes
Report on Operations of
Company.

WASHINGTON. May i9.-That the his
tory and present operation Of the Standard
OIL interests SHOW throughout the past
thirty-five years a substantial monopoliza-
tion Of the petroleum industry of the coun-
try, deliberate destruction of competi-
tion and consequent control Of that in
dustry by less than dozen men who have
reaped enormous profits therefrom largely
through abuse Of transportation facilities"
is charged in a report just submitted to
President Roosevelt bv Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. Part
one of the report was made public today
and other parts will follow. Certain in
formation acquired is withheld for the
present, in accordance with instructions ef
the president who feels that their publica-
tion might interfere with the prosecution
of the governments suits pending against
the Standard oil company and its sub
sidiary companies.
The report contains the net results OF a
study of the petroleum business during
the year 1904. II is the first offcial state
ment of the operations and methods of
the Standard OIL company, by which, the
report states, through "scandalous rail-
way determinations" and other unlawful
devices they have secured and maintained
an Exclusive domination OF the petroleum
industry"
1t is stated that in 1904 the Standard and
affiliated concerns refined over "a per
cent Of the crude oil run through re-
fneries, produced more than Sc per cent
of the country's total output of illuminat-
ing oil and transported through pipe lines
nearly nine-tenths of the crude oil of the
older fields and 9S per cent of the crude
oil Of the midcontlnent field"
The report points out the monopoly en-
Joyed by the company does not rest on
the ownership of the source of the oil sup
ply, which amounts to about only one
sixth Of the total, but that it's growth
and present power rests primarily on the
control of the transportation facilities.
After the railroad rebate was aban-'
doned the company" the report continues.
was able to establish a system OF secret
or open discrimination OF rates In its
favor throughout practically the entire
country. Having established its monopoly
Of the pipe line business the company sub
stantially refuses to act as a common car
rier."
It is shown that the Standard controls
not only the wholesale. but also the retail
trade in oil.
In conclusion, the report says, 1t is ap-
parent that the dominating position Of the
Standard OIL company In the oil industry
has largely been secured by the abuse of
transportation facilities, first. by fragrant
determinations obtained from railroads;
second, by a refusal to operate it's pipe
line system so as TO extend to Independent
interests the benefits to which they were
both morally and legally entitled. while
at the same time the Standard has pre-
vented such independent interests from
constructing lines of their own.

RAILROAD RATES ADJUSTED
SiOux City Resains It's Former Ad-
vantage over sioux Falls on
Chicago Business.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, May 1s.-word was re-
ceived in Sioux City today from the ex-
ecutive ofhcials OF the interested railways
OF readjustment OF freight rates from
Chicago 10 Sioux City and Sioux Falls. and
from Duluth to the same points. The order
is to take effect June %. By the read
justment the old rates which were estab-
lished by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and which were in eject until De-
cember last, viii be restored. This read
justment restores the old basis OF 1Q per
cent OF Sioux City rates as applicable to
Sioux Falls from Chicago and puts both
places on a parity as TO rates from Duluth.
This action on the part OF the roads fol-
lows the Ming OF a complaint by the
Sioux City Commercial club with the In

fair discrimination by the Milwaukee and
six other roads The order probably wIll
have the effect OF dismissing the complaint

MAYOR BUSSE HURLS A BOMB
Demands the Rshgnstion Of Twelve
Members Of the School Beard.
REMOVE THEM IF THEY DO NOT COMPLY
Action is said 10 He the outRrowth of
Plan TO Depose superintendent
Cooley from Position of
superintendent.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Mayor Busse has
stirred up a great deal of discussion by his
recent action, said to be unprecedented in
this city, OF asking for the resignation OF
twelve members Of the Board OF Education
who had been appointed by the previous
democratic mayor, Judge Edward F. Dunno.
Last Friday Mayor Busse took sudden
action. He had written twelve resigna-
tion forms, which he put into the hands
Of clerks, and the clerks promptly took
automobiles to go in search Of the members
Of the board whose designations were de-
sired The chAuffeurs had no special In
structions about observing the speed limit
ordinance and before night every trustee
who was in town had been reached.
Most OF them were extremely surprised
not to say startled, by the mayors bomb
shell and asked for time to consider the
matter. This was in the face Of the mayors
assertion that IL the designations were not
forthcoming he would dismiss those who
held back. Up to today four designations
had been received Six trustees were talk
ing of a legal fight and two had not been
reached because they were absent from
the city. Eugene H. Gnrnctt, one of the
attorneys who has been consulted by the
belligerent faction, hinted today that there
may be no fight.
Fight Centers on Cooley.
Various reasons are assigned for the
mayors action in demanding the resigna-
tions The one most commonly accepted.
however, in the absence If statement
from the mayor himself, is that the mayor
wished to make certain the retention Of
r. G. Cooley, superintendent OF schools.
Mr.. Cooley is the highest salaried man in
the country in a similar position and has
been reelected every years since 1900. An
organization during these years, including
many school teachers. has grown up in
opposition to what they call Mr.. Cooley's
autocratic methods. The opposition has
shown itself in efforts to shape the COM
position OF the Board Of Education, which
elects the superintendent OF schools. The
board appointed by Mayor Dunno included
many trustees alleged to he antagonistic
to the present superintendent Their terms
OF office expire in a few weeks Just before
Which time 1t is customary to hold the
election for superintendent. There has been
great deal of talk however. that certain
or the trustees contemplated holding the
election much earlier than usual for the
purpose OF ousting Mr. Cooley. Report has
II that when this alleged information
reached Mayor Busse's ears he made the
sudden determination to demand the resig-
nations OF trustees inirnical to the present
superintendent and to replace them with
men who woald make Mr.. enoiey.s re-Alec-
ton certain. =.
