HALF RATE TO AFRICA
On Oil Shipments Enjoyed by
the Standard on All Lines.

Senator Borah Acquitted - Foraker
Scores Observation-Disclosures Tow
er to Resign-Swarthmor May De-
cline Bequests-Bills In Thaw Case
Held Up-cut Fares In Cleveland.
A contract whereby the Standard Oil
company obtains from every steam
ship company operating between New
York and all ports in Africa rate for
the shipment o: lubricating oil which
is about one.half what its competitor,
the New York Lubricating Oil com
pany, pays was produced in the hear
ing of the federal suit against the al
legged oil combine.
This contract was placed in evil
6ence and Phillip Harrison, a man
ager of the New York Lubricating Oil
company. declared that his company
was forced to pay double the Standard
rate notwithstanding his protests to
the steamship companies.
Mr.. Harrison said that by reason Of
the freight discrimination the Stand
ard could place its products in Africa
at less than the cost price of the oils
of his own company, and that to
maintain its African trade the New
York Lubricating Oil company was
forced to purchase from the Standard
the cheaper grade of oils which it
sold to its customers. Mr.. Harrison
said that shipping charges to his
company were steadily increased from
about 81 shillings until they reached
40 shillings pence in 1905. (This is
the English shilling equal to about "a
cents in American money!
The contract which the Standard
made on Feb 10, 1906, with the Hansa,
Prince, Houston and American-Africa
steamship lines, made the rate to the
Standard for oil shipments slightly
less than II shillings. The witness
declared that he wrote a letter to the
steamship agents demanding equitable
rates for the company, but no change
in the charges was made
w. w. Tarbell of Philadelphia, treas
urer of the Pure Oil company and of
the United States Pipe Line company,
related the difficulties his companies
encountered in competition with the
Standard. Mr.. Tarbell said that the
business of the Pure Oil company was
placed in districts selected with
view to avoiding business relations
with certain railroads, the rate dis
ordinations of which, he continued,
we're more feared by the company
than the opposition of the Standard in
open competition. Mr.. Tarbell is a
brother of Miss Ida Tarbell, who has
written much about the Standard Oil
company.

Boston, Oct. S.-As result of state
ments concerning the corruption al
legged to exist in the Boston city gov

In his speech Saturday, Senator
Lodge said:
The government of the city of Bos-
ton has sunk in the eyes of man to
point of degradation utterly unknown
in the annals of history.
The air is heavy with the stories of
corruption at City hall, of Offices sold,
of percentages taken, of payrolls load
ed, of loans made to support men in
ideleness, of widespread frauds at the
ballot box. which should be rigidly in
vestigated and brought to the light
of day."

United States Senator William E.
Borah was acquitted at Boise, Idaho,
on Wednesday night of the charge of
conspiracy to defraud the government
of Idaho timber lands. The case was
submitted without argument by the
defense, and the jury was out just
long enough to take one ballot. The
verdict was greeted with cheers and
applause, which the court officers
made no effort to restrain. Street
bells were rung and the fire depart
ment made a spectacular run through
the principal streets, stopping event
