STANDARD DOESN'T Cheaper OIL
Commissioner Smith Says II Pockets Profits on
It's Own Economies.

Washington, D. C.-Following
hard on the smashing blow delivered
to the Standard Oil Company by Fed
eral Judge Lands at Chicago, the
Government made public crushing
array of figures gathered by Herbert
Knox Smith, the Commissioner of
Corporations. These figures show;
First, that the vast Rockefeller
monopoly since 1882 has paid out
1852, 900, 000-more than half bill
lion-in dividends, all the time piling
up, in addition, surplus which as
long ago as 1896 had aggregated
nearly $50, 100000 and has since
grown to unknown proportions.
Second, that the oft-repeated boast
of the Standard, that it had reduced
the price of oil and thus had been
of benefit to the consumer, is false
now and always has been false.
While the dividends from 1882 to
1906 were $3.50, 100000, the net
earnings, the commissioner says, were
much more; at least, $500, 1000. 900.
These enormous profits were based on
an investment worth at the time of
it's original acquisition not over $751;
100000, and not over $147, 100000
in 1896. From 1903 to 1905 the
average net yearly earnings were
about sixty-eight per cent.

Money to U. S. Treasury.

Washington, D. C.-If the decision
rendered by Judge Lands in the
United States Court at Chicago is sus-
tanned the Standard Oil Company will
be called upon to pay directly into
the United States Treasury $29, 240,-
900.
The fine must be RENTED in one
payment, and there are no legal pro-
visions by which the oil company can
be allowed an extension of time in the
payment of this immense sum except
by stay of execution by the court,
which Judge Lands has granted on
sixty days.
Usually fines are paid into the
court which assesses them. But in
this case the Controller of the Treas
ury has ruled that the defendant
should pay its fines directly into the
United States Treasury.
Beginning at once the Government
will charge interest upon the fines. If
the case should drag along through
the Court of Appeals and up to the
Supreme Court almost 100000
will be added to the amount to be
paid by the Standard if the Govern
ment wins it's case.

fellow, big enough and strong
enough to hold breaking pillow in a
patch of hazel brush stubble, asked
for cash simply on the ground that
he was deaf mute. What is to stop a
deaf mute from working and earning
his own living? Another young fell

that was the matter with him was
that he had leg cut off below the

Attorney Harry A. Parkin, were on
hand for the Government. In the
room were number of attorneys, all
bent upon hearing the decision, which
it was evident they regarded as epoch
making. Also present were a num-
Der of Stock Exchange men, but
Judge Lands held the men of money
in suspense for an hour and ten min
utes before gratifying their curiosity.
The indictments were based on the
charges that the Alton gave rates to
the Standard that were lower than
the published tariff The period COW
cred by the indictment was from Sep
TENDER, 1903, to March, 1905. The
defence maintained that the legal in
terstate rate was six cents, while it
was shown that the legal rate per
hundred pounds to East st. Louis
was eighteen cents The trial lasted
six weeks, three tons of documentary
evidence was submitted to the jury,
including more than $4,000 way bills,
shipping orders, receipts and records.
The jury was sworn in March 5,
1907, and on April 10, after being
out two hours and ten minutes, the
jury returned verdict of guilty up
on 1852 counts.

animation of new gem of great
beauty recently discovered by two
prospectors in San Benito County
Cal. Professor Leuderback says:
THE new gem is clear, trans
parent blue stone with violet tints
in the deeper colored portion. 1t
rivals the sapphire in color and sur.
passes it in brilliancy, though it is
not so hard. 1t is about as hard as
chrysolite and harder than opal or
moonstone. 1t turns bright red un-

new mineral it has been named Be-
nito, from the county in which it
was found"

cording to the report Mrs Magill

said:
1.-The chemists report does not

suicide compact existed between
