PROBING THE OIL TRUST.

H. c. Folger, Jr., a director OF the
Union Tank. Line company, told how
he and c. M. Payne built the Corsi-
cana Oil company Of Texas with funds
furnished by the National Transit
company, a Standard subsidiary, which
held the stock in it's own name until
1906, when Folger and Payne pul-
chased the stock from the National
Transit company because Of antitrust
legislation. The witness testified that
the management of the Corsicana
company continued unchanged after
the sale and that its accounts were
forwarded to Mr.. C%hesbrough at No.
&c Broadway, the headquarters of the
Standard Oil company.
The Indiana Pipe Line company, a
subsidiary Of the Standard Oil COM
pany, made a profit Of $4,O91,O22 in

ures produced by George Chesebro,

bine. The counsel for the government

A well known druggist here at

President interviewed.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
McCumber of North Dakota wants
to carry home direct word from
President Roosevelt as to whether
or not he will accept a unanimous
nomination for the presidency next
year.
The senator thinks that it is
only fair to the other candidates
Taft, Fairbanks. Cannon and Knox
to have a sort of family understan-
ding about such an important
matter.
Mr.. McCumber is persistent in
everything he undertakes. and if
he can get an authorized statement
from President Roosevelt to the
effect that if he is nominated by
the next republican national con-
vention that he will decline and
positively refuse to run, the mis-
sion of the North Dakota senator
to Washington will have been
worth while.
After leaving the white house
yesterday, the senator said:
"Unless Roosevelt makes another
statement refusing positively to be
a candidate he will be named on
the first ballot"
