OIL CHEAPER IN EUROPE,
Monopoly Makes Home Consumers
Pay More Than Foreign.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Further
startling disclosures of the manipu-
lation and control of the petroleum
industry by the Standard Oil monop-
oily are made in the report of Her
bert Knox Smith, Commissioner of
Corporations. Determinations in
prices are exposed in the report
which charges that in the business
of selling petroleum products in for
eign countries the price policy of the
Standard Oil Company has been to
sacrifice the interests of the Ameri-
can consumer for the purpose of Sc
curing the Standards foreign busi-
ness.
The figures show a very remark
able excess in the American price
above the foreign prices, particular
ly during the latter half of 1904 and
the first half of 1905. During the
latter half of 1904 the price aver
aged for the United States 1913 cents
as contrasted with 692 cents in Ger
many, 8.42 cents in the United
Kingdom and 649 cents in Den
mark. The excess of the domestic
price, after allowing cent for diff
ference in quality, ranged at that
time from 2.3S cents to 2.SS cents.
During the first half of 1905 the ex-
traordinary decline In the prices in
the United Kingdom increased the
effective margin between the domes-
tic price and the price in that coun-
try to 3.17 cents.

BEGIN BIG LAND
FRAUD TRIAL
Aged Millionaire Perrin Makes Most
Dramatic Defense.
Absolutely Denies Charges Of Fraud
and Expresses Great Hatred for
One Witness-Tes estimony Of Wiz
ness Harlan Is Stricken From tho
Records.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The gov
ernment yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court closed its case
against Millionaires John e. Benson
and DR.. d. Perrin, charged with con-
spiracy to obtain $4,000 acres of
land in Tehama county by fraud.
The greater part of the morning
session was consumed in arguments
over the admissibility of the testi-
mony of Wilford B. Harlan, former
ly clerk of the General Land Office
at Washington, who in answering
questions by counsel for the govern
ment, confessed that he accepted
5000 from Benson as bribe to keep
him informed in advance of the
prospective opening of the Plumas
being left for him in a bathroom by
Benson.
After a determined struggle by the
attorneys for the defense, Judge De
Haven ordered this testimony
stricken out because it antedated
the period of the alleged conspiracy
between Benson and Perrin.
The case for the government was
closed by the testimony of William
E. Walk, formerly examiner Of con-
tracts in the General Land Office at
Washington, who stated that he met
Benson at the Willard house, talked
with him about the Benson and Hyde
land fraud prosecutions and accept
ed from him "as a loar," SIS. The
motion of the defense to strike this
testimony from record was denied.
DR.. Perrin, aged millionaire from
Arizona, took the stand late in the
afternoon in his own behalf. He
strongly denied the testimony of
Charles P. Smell, the star witness for
the prosecution. DR.. Perrin seemed
indignant against Benson, and when
referring to the land deals with him,
lost control of himself and had to be
called to order. He testified that he
was owner of 100000 acres of land
in Arizona and at one time had 15O,-
600 acres near Fresno. DR.. Perrin
said there was no truth in the testi-
mony of Smell regarding the Te-
hama county land deal.
