Notices Coincidence = Complains
That the Standard Was Not Heard.
New York, Aug. 6.-John ID. Ach~
bold, vice president of the Standard
Oil company, has made a statement in
which he declares that the company
was not given an opportunity to be
heard or to submit data in the prepa-
ration of the report prepared by Com
missioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith and made public. Arch
bold's statement follows:
ION Saturday, Aug. 3, Judge lands
announced his decision. On Monday,
Aug. 8, Commissioner Smiths report
is given to the public.
"This remarkable report of Mr..
Smith marks another coincidence in
the utterances of the different depart
ments of the government in their at
tacks on us, that have occurred so fire.
quently as to rob them Of even the
appearance Of being accidental; In
connection with its publication it may
not be amiss to remind the public that
the act creating the bureau Of cor
porations provides that such reports
shall be made to the president for tie
purpose of guiding him in forming
suggestions as to legislation, and that
they may be made public in whole or
in part only IN the discretion of the
president.
1T is sufficient now for us to say
that in the preparation of his report
Mr.. Smith did not see fit to even con-
fer with us. We think the public will
agree that we are at least entitled to
be heard in such matter If Mr..
Smith had seen fit to confer with US
we would have readily furnished him
the data for a truthful statement Of
the facts on this question:

comfortably and tastefully. One will
will be for the wives of prisoners serv-
ing sentences, and the duchess hopes
to find room for about twenty such
women, who will be taught laundry
work and plain sewing. The bishop
of London is to dedicate the homes,
probably in September.
AnOthel charity which the duchess
has established is a home to which
mothers whose husbands are serving
sentences may take their babies and
leave them from in the morning I'M
til 6 in the evening. The duchess
goes there every day, and, it is stated,
to complete her work she is giving up
her proposed visit to the United States

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Conferences and

tion we will take" Robert w. Stewart,

''It is simply a matter Of discretion to
say nothing at the present time"
Government Is Busy, Too.
While the Standard Oil officials were
preparing to resist the threatened at
tacks by the government, which prom
Use to be even more drastic and sensa-
tional than in the past, District AttOr-
new Sims and his assistants were

Sunday, and every preparation to in

road and the Standard Oil trust are be-
ing made. The new grand jury will

Will Be Difficult to Prove.
Difficulty in proving responsibility
for the 6-cent rate granted by the road
to the Oil trust viii be met by the
government forces, as many of the AL
ton officials have died since the re-
bates were given, and no connection
can be proved with the high officials
Of the trust. This will save John D.
