HOW THEY FOOLED RAILROADS

eating OIL.

NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-That the Ga
lena Signal Oil company, u subsidiary
Of the Standard Oil company, controls
% per cent of the lubricatlng oil bust
ness with the railroads of the United
States and that the prices for its prod
ucts are not uniform with all railroads
was written in the record of the hear
ing Of the federal suit against the so
called oil trust.
c. G.. Steinbrenner, an accountant for
the Galena company, told in detail
how contracts were made with rail
roads whereby they were guaranteed
Il maximum cost for the fabrication OF
the road, based on mileage basis for
engines and cars, and when the max
certain periods to fall short of the
standard invoice price, which all rail
roads paid when they received the oil,
the Galena company made refund Of
the difference.
From statements compiled from the
Galena companys books Mr.. Kellogg
was able to show that in some cases
the amount of the refund was nearly
80 per cent Of the invoice price.
Mr.. Steinbrenner testified that the
lubricating oil furnished to the Penn
sylvania railroad was sold at loss.
The Galena company fixed the stand
ard invoice price OF valve oil for en-
gines last year at 4S cents a gallon,
md Mr.. Kellogg drew from the wit
ness that the Pennsylvania railroad,
after the refund was deducted, obtain
ed its oil for "a cents.
Mr.. Steinbrenner testified that the
New York Central. Union Pacific, Del
aware and Hudson and Southern rail
roads paid ~ cents a gallon, or the
full price, without refund The Balti-
more and Ohio railroad paid 3S cents
a gallon, while the Toledo, Peoria and
Western obtained Its oil for 20 cents.
Mr. Steinbrenner said that the fixing
of the maximum cost of fabrication to
a railroad was a matter of hard bar
gaining.
A letter written by President Miller
Of the Galena company in 1905 to Vice
President Marony of the Pittsburg
Shawmut and Northern railroad and
placed in evidence stated that the Ga
lena company was supplying 9Ik per
cent of the total mileage of the United
States. Canada and Mexico. One of
the railroads that the Galena com
pany did not supply with oil, Mr.. Stein
brenner said. was the Tidewater rail
road, owned by Henry III. Rogers, vice
president of the Standard Oil com
pany. The witness said the Galena
company had tried to obtain the con-
tract with the Tidewater railroad, but
had failed. Mr.. Kellogg suggested
that perhaps Mr.. Rogers thought he
could get better oil elsewhere.

NEGRO F|REBUG OF.
JACKSONVILLE
C0NFESSES
Admits That He Has Set Seven
Fires
HENRY GALLAGHER, AGED 10
Says His Only Reason for Setting the
Fires Was to Witness the
Excitement.

Brattleboro, Oct 3.--After terroriz-
ing the people of the village of Jack
sonville since early in July Henry
Gallagher, an incendiary, was caught
this morning. He made full con-
fession and at a preliminary hearing
before Justice Schuyler Murdoch, he
was bound over to the county court
and was taken to Newfane Jail
Gallagher is negro, about Is years
old. He went to Jacksonville as
chore boy in the hotel last Novem-
Der. Formerly he was in a Massa-
chusetts reformatory institution.
Dana Canedy, proprietor of the
hotel, went to the barn to feed his
horses last night and saw rope run
ming from the basement up through
holes bored in two floors to the hay
loft. II had been soaked in keroseen
oil and the lower end was burning.
In the hotel shed he found a bit, to
which fresh shaving was clinging
and which fitted the holes through
which the rope passed.
Suspicion was directed against Gal
lagher and search was made for
him, but he was not found until
about o'clock this morning. He con-
fessed to setting all but one of the
seven fires which have broken out in
jacksonville, beginning in July and
to attempting to poison horses owned
by w. H. Brown and w. A. Clark.
He said his only object in setting fires
was to see some excitement.
States Attorney II. c. Bacon of this
town said tonight that Gallagher's
trial would take place at the present
term of the County court.
The Is special police officers APP
pointed by the Jacksonville selectmen
to watch for the firebug will not re-
