NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-Testimony that
railroads purchased their lubricating oils
from the Standard Oil company at prices
that were higher than those Of its COM
petitors was heard today in the federal
suit for the dissolution of the so-called
oil trust
Philip Harrison, manager of the New
York Lubricating Oil company, which
has engaged in long strife with the
Standard Oil company in the lubricating
oil industry, was on the witness stand al
day. and testified that though the pro-
ducts of his company had proved satis-
factory to the railroads and were sold at
prices under the Standards figures. the
railroads declined to renew their con-
tracts with the New York Lubricating
Oil company.
Mr.. Harrison said he was never openly
told by the railroad officials why the con-
tracts were not entered into again, but
he had we'll defined idea Of the cause.
Mr.. Harrison said that the Vacuum
Oil company, previous to 1894, manufac-
tured lubricating oil, but that 1t made an
agreement with the Standard whereby 1t
turned all of it's lubricating business over
to the Galena Signal Oil company a sub
sidiary of the Standard.
The witness said his company made q
contract with the Louisville & Nashville
in 1908 to supply the road with lubricating
oil. On the expiration of the contract
President Milton Smith of the Louisville
& Nashville refused to renew 1t but would
give no reason.
Contract Not Renewed
Mr.. Kellogg then placed In evidence the
statement of the Galena Signal OIL COM
pany showing that the Louisville &
Nashville at the expiration of the con-
tract with the New York Lubricating
company, made a contract with the Ga
lena at higher rate than that paid the
New York company.
| Mr.. Harrison said President Smith had
stated in letter that the New York
Lubricating company's product was en-
tirely satisfactory. He added that the
Galena agents went to President Smith
| and told him that the Standard was
shipping a large amount of oil on the
| Louisville & Nashville and that the road
should give the contract to the Galena.
president Smith told the Galena agents
| that he was not paying rebates in that
way" said Mr.. HARRISON. Mr.. Harrison
| testified that the New York Lubricating
Oil company had contracts with the Cen
| trail Railroad of Georgia and the Georgia
lrailroad and that the Gaiena obtained
contracts with the two railroads at prices
(which he understood were higher than
the prices of the New York Lubricating
| Oil company.

NEGRO HUNTER

Assistant Secretary Latta Goes to See
His Chief and Fails to Return.
Believed Party Was
After Bear

BY Associated Press
STAMBOUL, La, Oct. 7.-Holt Collier,
the champion Mississippi negro bear
hunter, reported at the presidents camp
early today ready for business in the
canebreaks. He came down from Green
vile on boat and brought with him a
fine kennel of dogs, all of them yelping

The first report of killing since the
arrival of the presidential party was re-
ceived today. Ben Lilley Golfers white
rival, succeeding in killing fine buck
late Saturday afternoon, soon after he
made his appearance. consequently the
president dined sumptuously yesterday on
a choice cut of venison.
Assistant, Secretary Latta started out
early today to find the president at his
camp in the wilderness, and at late
hour tonight had not returned. 1t is
presumed that when he arrived at the
camp the president was out on his hunt,
and that the secretary found it necessary
to remain over night.
He took a number of personal letters to
the president.
Atmosphere Is Humid
Except that the atmosphere Is too hu-
mid to render physical exercise enjoyable,
the president is having favorable weather.
Previous to his arrival there had been nc
rain for weeks and the conditions were
most unfavorable for hunting, the break
ing of the dry twigs giving warning to
the approach of its foe, and the hard
surface being very trying to the feet OF
tho hunting dogs.
Sometof the dogs the president is using
were so disabled recently by this con-
dition that they came nearly being unfit
for his use.
The presidents proverbial good luck
was, however with him in this as In
other matters. A gentle rain was falling
when he arrived at Stamboul on Saturday
and there has been two or three showers
since. None of them has been of great
duration, but they we'll served the pur-
pose of putting the forest in the best pos
sible condition for both man and beast In

that to avoid disease great care should
