cent per year. The dividends, how
ever, were much less than the total
earnings. Exact information as to
these earnings is available only for the
years 1882 to 1906 and for the years
1908 to 1905, inclusive, an aggregate
for these years of about STA 900;
but from these figures the earnings
for the other six years may be esti-
mated with some degree of correct
ness, and it is substantially certain
that the entire net earnings of the
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were at
east $790,00O,OOO and possibly much
more.
These enormous profits have been
based on al investment worth at the
time of its original acquisition not
more than $4,000, 900.
Furthermore, the rate of profit on
the capitalization has increased great
ings averaged about Is per cent on the
capital stock or trust certificates out
standing, while the average net earn
ings for the period from 1908 to 1905
were about 6S per cent. yearly.
These rates of profit and their great
increase are strikingly confirmed by
the known profits of one important
Standard concern, the Waters Pierce
Oil Company. The lowest rate of pro
fit on its investment was in 1861 3
per cent. 1t increased in nearly every
year thereafter until in the first six
rate of 47.2 per cent per year. More
over, the rate of profit of this company
has Increased not only il proportion
to its investment, but also per unit of
products sold. Tae average profit on
Illuminating oil for the year of 1895 to
1899 was S3 cents per barrel, while
| from 1900 to June, 1904, the average
profit was s1.32 per barrel, with SINH
lar increase of profits on the fmpor-
tant by-products.
A further verification of the profits
of the Standard was afforded by COM
putation of profits of certain of it's in
dividual refineries. In 1904 the rate
tof profit on investment ii these refn-
cries and in the marketing concerns
distributing their products was as fol-
lows. Refinery at Lima, Ohio. 81 per-
cent; Whiting, Ind, As per cent; Su-
gar Creek, Mo-, 35 cents; Neodesha,
Kans. 35 per cent; Florence, Colo, 81
per cent; or weighted average of 40
per cent, about 2.3 cents per gallon of
crude handled. This excludes the pro-
fits on pipeline business.
The foregoing facts as to the pro
fits viii thus explain vividly what has
become OF the increase in prices and
margins on petroleum products during
the regime Of the Standard since '9s.

Although it was to have been a Sc
cret until the appointment comes
from the President, it leaked out last
night that Nathan Jaffa, cashier of
the Citizens National Bank of Ros-
well, had been rendered the position
Of secretary of New Mexico and that
he had decided to accept, when the
appointment is made. The offer came
from President Roosevelt, who makes
the appointment, through Governor
Curry, who first spoke of the matter
to Mr.. Jaffa yesterday morning. 1t
came without solicitation upon the
part of Mr.. Jaffa. VINO at first dis
missed the thought of accepting, say
ing fatty that he could not afford to
accept the Office. However, after con-
sidering the matter all day, Mr.. Jaf-

of acceptance.

sent, will not go forward to Oyster

Bay until after the inauguration,
Aug. 8, and the appointment will not
be made before the 9th, and possibly
later.
When the news leaked out last
night that Mr.. Jaffa is to be secre-
tary, it was not a half hour until al
most everyone down town knew it.
The report was the cause of general
rejoicing and congratulation. Practi-
cally everyone is glad that Governor
Curry chose Mr.. Jaffa for the place
(for it Is upon his selection that the
and all are equally pleased that Mr..
Jaffa has decided to accept. OF course
1t will be a financial loss to Mr.. Jaffa
and he will nave many things to con-
tend with that would not have both

spirit Of patriotism that has prompt
ed him to take upon himself the bur
den of this public Office is highly
commeadable, to say the least. The
removal of his family, after 81 years
of residence here. away from friends
and associates will not be the least
of his hardships. All his interests,
business and otherwise, are here, and
in leaving he will do so with the in
tention of returning as soon as the
exigencies of the case permit
With the report of Mr. Jaffa's Sc

sion for August in the council cnam-
bers last night. Mayor Jas. w. Stock,
ard presided, and the following alder
men were in attendance: Robinson,
Bell, Whiteman, Wyllys, Johnson,

minutes of the meetings in July were
read and approved.
Upon motion of Mr.. Kinsinger, it
was decided to take up the proposition
of J. L. Ellis relative to the city is
suing $125,000 worth of bonds to put
in a water system. The proposition
came up in the form of an ordinance
calling a special election, and the or
dinance was passed, seven to one,
Mr.. Whiteman being the only one
present who voted against it. The
election was called for September

of Carlsbad, will get Mr. Fullen's
place as postmaster.
The matter of the appointments
was the chief topic at the banquet
that was given at the Grand Central
last night by Sc individual Elks in
honor of Governor Curry. 1t proved
al interesting theme and tae prospec-
tive appointees were the victims of
many witticisms and bright saying,
fses of support. Nathan Jaffa was
POSTMASTER for the occasion, and
among the principal speakers were
Governor Curry, Ex-Governor Hager-
man, Judge Easley, of Santa Fe; L.

OFFICERS ARE LOOKING
FOR EVIDENCE TO-DAY

The body of Leland s. Terhune,
found buried in an irrigation ditch
on the widow Bowman place" east
of Orchard Park, was disinterred last
night and brought to Roswell. A cor
oner's jury was summoned and after
they had examined the remains, the
body was turned over to the Ullery
undertaking establishment. The Off
GERS are busy today hunting evidence.
Upon removing the body from the
ground, it was found to have had the
head mashed, one eye being entirely
mashed out. 1t had been buried four
feet in a ditch and the water turned
on. Afterward the water was turned
out of the ditch and then the dirt set
tied in the grave, leaving a hole tnat
led to the discovery of the body.
Deputy Sheriff o. 2. Finley was
the officer who went to Orchard Park
upon summons yesterday and arrest
ed Moses L. Lewis, the murdered
mans cousin and partner who is ac-
cused of the crime. oday Deputy Fin
ley and Marshal J. j. Rascoe are
working on the case at Orchard Park.
The inquest will be held in Roswell
as soon as they are prepared to re-
port.
Lewis was arrested largely on &C
count of the fact that he was the last
man known to have been with Ter
hume and because the body was bur-
led. The officers work on the theory
that if a stranger mad killed Terhu1e
he would not have buried the body
Other clews that point to Lewis
guilt are that the wagon he and Ter
hume used in partnership had blood
on it and blood was found on Lewis
clothes. Lewis is still in Jail await
ilg the action of the coroner's jury
and other officers.
The undertaken has received word
from the dead mans father to ship
the remains to his home at Iowa Park
Texas, and to nave the wife and child
accompany them. The shipment will
be made after the inquest.

PROBABLE CONTEST OVER
SENATORIAL ELECT

New Orleans, La, Dispatches from
Jackson, Miss, say that a second SEN
atorial primary for Williams and Var
daman is regarded with favor by ma
ny followers of both sides. Secretary
of State Powers up to last night still
had ten counties to hear official re-
turns from, and the count up to that
point showed Williams lead to be
but about 440 votes.
The smallness of the plurality
which it is now estimated the win
ner will have is given as ground for
the belief that a contest over the
election is inevitable.
The ballot boxes are being watched
by the workers of both sides.

FOR PHOTO" NOT DEATH.
Italian Prisoner Thought Studio Chair
 Was Electric Seat.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
 Owing to the belief that he was
 about to be put to death in the electric
 chair, Vito Lacernza caused an exciting
 scene In photograph gallery in Port
 Chester last Wednesday. The prisoner
 had Der sentenced to the White Plains
 jail for stabbing fellow countryman,
 and the police decided to have him pho
 tographed for Identification. The Italian
 went along with Sergeant Mccullough
 in perfect innocence of what was to oc- cur. When he reached the studio and
 the photographer motioned him toward
 a large chair precipitation began to col
 lect on his brow and he baked
 ''The haythen don't want to have his picture took, and it's ten one he's a Black Hand man wanted back in Italy
 anw he's afraid some one will see 1t and
 recognize him." said the sergeant as he seized the Italian and forced him into the chair Lacernza fairly frothed at
 the mouth and fought for his liberty. He thought his last hour had come
 "Stop yer jabberi' !'' exclaimed McCul- tough, panting hard from the exertion of holding the prisoner in the chair At the same time the photographer adjusted
 the steel guides to the back of the pris- oner's head This was all that was need
 
 be put to death. With a bound he freed himself from his supposed execu- tioners and made a dash out of the place, overturning the camera in his flight. But the sergeant and the photo -grapher rushed after him and dragged him back.
 Despite his entreates they again placed the prisoner in the chair. This time they succeeded in getting a picture of him. As the photographer snapped the bulb of the camera the last spark of hope in the prisoner went out. He collapsed with a grasp resembling the extinction of a life in Sing Sing prison. It was severll minutes after he regained his senses that he realized he was actually alive. The photograph was shown to him, but even then he did not under stand and seemed restless. To an Ital- ian who was called in as an interpre- ter he said that he had had narrow escape and If he ever got free again he would never harm another person
 if he lived to be a hundred years old.
