CANCELS FRANCHISE
Alabama Takes Radical Steps
Against Southern Railway
THE LAW WILL HARDLY STAND
Removal Of Suit From State to Fed
eral Court Responsible for Action
of Secretary of State in Depriving
Corporation of Right to Do Bust
ness.

Montgomery, Ala, Special.-An-
nouncement was made by Secretary
of State Frank N. Julian that he had
revoked the franchise of the South
-ern Railway Company because it had
removed a case from the State Cir
cult Court of Talladega county to
the United States Circuit Court at
Birmingham. This action of the
Southern is alleged to be in viola
ton Of the outlaw acts passed by the
State Legislature last winter. each
Of which provided that such removal
should be punished by revocation Of
tue charter of the offending railroad.
One of these laws, the better known,
was declared unconstitutional by
United States Judge Thomas G.
Jones, but the other has never been
enjoined by the Federal Courts. For
this reason the action Of the State
official was taken under the pro, :
ions of the second Of these out
acts. The State insists that this
second outlaw act is still in force
and it is entirely proper to act under
it's provisions, willie the adherents of
the railway contend the act of revo-
cation is in contempt of the Federal
Court injunction, at least in spirit.
Neither side would make an authori-
tative statement of the probable
course to be pursued in the contro-
versy.
The action Of the Secretary tf
State is not in resistance of the r.
straining order issued by the Unit I'd
States Court of the fifth circuit as
this law is not among those combat
ted by the railroads and not includ-
ed in any of the litigation now pend-
ing in the court of Federal Judge
Zones, of the l-iddle Atlantic dis
-ict. The case upon which the revo-
cation was made out came from the
Circuit Court of Talladega county, in
the shape of notification from
Clerk j. D. McNeel that a suit had
been removed from the State court
to ethe Federal Court. Secretary Of
State Julian looked into the law and
found that there was nothing else 10
do but mark the license cancelled, as
the action of the statute is automatic.
Act Sc provides that when any for
eign corporation is sued in the Stale
courts and removed such suit from
the State to the Federal Court, the
clerk Of the court from which the re-
moval was taken will at once certify
such action to the Secretary of State,
cancel said license and make and
enter upon the stub thereof an order
in substance.

Williams Has Close Call.

Jackson, Miss, Special.-Victory
by the narrowest of margins for John
Sharp Williams, minority leader Of
the House of Representatives, was
the outlook from the official returns,
more than "a hours after the pr Us
closed in the United State senatorial
primary. Gov. James K. Vardaman
was leading Williams by fully 1000
votes when the returns from the
first 26 of Mississippi's 7S counties
were in. Despite this lead, the Will
liams men, basing their prediction on
unofficial advices as to the official fig
ures in the other counties claimed q
victory by a bare 5000 votes. That
their claim Of victory was probably
correct was admitted by Vardaman
forces, who, however, estimated the
plurality under 1000 and declared
that there was a possibility that Var
daman would win.

METHODS OF OIL TRUST.
Commissioner of Corporations Smith
Submits to President Second Of Re
ports Concerning Operations Of
Standard Oil Company.

Washington, special.-signifcaat
| revelations are made public in a re-
port submitted to President Roose-
velt by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, concerning
the operations Of the Standard Oil
Company. In previous report the
means and methods of the Standard
Oil Company were explained. The
present report sets forth the results
of these methods and the effect they
have had on the profits of the
Standard Oil Company. 1t deals
with profits and prices, showing just
how the manipulation Of the oil in
dustry by the Standard has affected
the pocket-books Of the American
people.
Commissioner Smith says:
@sThe Standard Oil Company is TO-
sponsible for the course Of the prices
of petroleum and its products during
the last 25 years. The Standard has
consistently used its power to raise
The price Of oil during the last 10
years, not only absolute, but also
relatively to the cost of crude oil. /"
The Standard has claimed that it
has reduced the price of oil; that it
has been benefit to the consumer;
and that only a great combination
like the Standard could have furnish
ed oil at the prices that have pre-
vailed
9 ch one of these claims" says
CO I, ,sioner Smith, sis disproved
/ :; report" The increase in an
nual profits of the Standard from
1896 to 1904, was over $27,0O0,0Co
The report says:
"The total dividends paid by tha
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were
1851 ,922,9O4, averaging thus 24.l5
per cent per year. The dividends
however, were much less than the
total earnings. It is substantially
certain that the entire net earnings
Of the Standard in this period were
at least $z9O,OOO,OOO and possible
much, more.
"These enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at The
time Of its original acquisition not
more than $75,O00,000."
Commissioner Smith says:
"The following facts are proved:
The Standard has not reduced mar
gins during the period in which it
has been responsible for the prices Of
oil. During the last eight years cov-
cred by this report (1S9S to 19O5) it
has raised both prices and margins.
"Its domination has not been ac-
quired or maintained bv its superior
efficiency, but rather by unfair COM
petition and by methods economically
and morally uniustifable. The STAN
dard has superior efficiency in run
ming its own business; it has an equal
efficiency in destroying the business
Of competitors. 1t keeps for itself
the profits of the frst.-and adds to
these the meaopoiy profits secured
by seeond It's profits are Far
above the highest possible standard
lof d reasopaE ommercial return
and hava@be9m steadily increasing
FINALLY, the history of this great in
dustry is a history of the persistent
use of the worst industrial methods,
the exaction Of exorbitant prices
from the consumer. and the securing
of excessive. profits for the small
group of men who over a long series
Of years have thus dominated the
business" /"
