NEVER L|QU|DATED
The Old Standard Oil Trust Was
not Really Dissolved as
Ordered by Court.
same MEN HAVE CONTROL
William G. Rockefeller is to be Called
Upon to Tell Why and to Whom
Millions of Dollars
Were Loaned.

New York Oct. 10-The method
through which the trustees Of the
Standard Oil trust liquidated the COM
pany in order to comply with the or
der of the Ohio court was further
unfolded Wednesday when Wesley II.
Tilford, treasurer of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, was recalled
to the witness stand in the federal
court against the socalled trust. State
ments compiled from stock books of
the various subsidiary companies dur
ing the period of the trust liquidation
were placed on the record, and from
these transcripts and from Mr. TIL
ford, the governments counsel, Frank
B. Kellogg, says that the governments
charge that only 4 pseudo liquidation
was effected and that the trust con
tinued its operations as an entity
and under the same control as at the
time of its inception in 1882, has been
proved. Mr.. Kellogg was able to de-
velop that the liquidating trustees and
their associates liquidated only
enough
a majority of the stocks of the 90
subsidiary companies, and that they
voted these stocks as individuals and
maintained a constant control over the
integral companies. The dividends de-
clared on the stocks of the companies
were paid directly to these holdera
who had liquidated the trust certifi-
Gates and to the trustees who held the
stocks against the unliquidaed certifi-
Gates of the trust. Mr. Kellogg showed
that the trustees and one or two as
sociates were the only certificate hold
ers who liquidated their schares in the
old Standard Oil trust.
Mr. Tilford testified that the cross
town pipe line under Central park
whose ownership has caused consider
able perpleXity to the federal counsel
when it did not appear on the books
of the Standard Oil company of New
York after 1906 was still owned by
the New York company. MIR. Kellogg
again tried to find out the reasons the
large loans amounting to several mil
lions, given to =. S. Trainor by the
Southern Pipe Line company over a
period of several years. Efforts to
ascertain the nature Of these loans by
the federal counsel at a previous hear
ing developed nothing OF moment
That the Standard Oil company OF
New York was a lender of millions Of
its surplus funds was testified by Mr..
Tilford From a statement Of the COM
pany it was developed that over $780,
100000 was loaned last year to inter
ests other than the Standard. What
these interests were and the nature Of
the loans, Mr.. Tilford was unable to
say. Mr.. Kellogg said he would call
William C. Rockefeller, the treasurer
of the company to throw light on these
loans

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HumoR.
Alike, Vet in, Many Ways Fundament-
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them.
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points. however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual. humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception OF
contrast, of discrepancy of incongru-
ity. The inoongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice. between
promise and performance: and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always moral in
cougruity. In the case both of wit
and hu,nor there is also n pleasurable
surprise, a gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception of the hith-
e7to unsuspected resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer

SANTA FEE GUILTY.
The Railroad Company Convicted in
Los Angeles, CAL. CT Grant
ing Rebates.

Los Angeles, Oct 12.-After being
of the government against the Santa
Fee Railroad company on trial for re.
batting in the federal court here Friday
afternoon brought in verdict OF
guilty against the railroad on all of
the &C counts of the indictment. Judge
Welborn will announce his decision
next Monday. An estimate of the
maximum penalty which may be i'm
posed is S1,250,000.
The charge against the Santa Fe
was that it had granted rebates from
it's regular tariff on shipments of lime
by the Grand Canyon Lime & Cement
company of Arizona. The defense of
the railroad company was that the
rebates were concessions" made for
alleged losses In the shipments dur
ing transit. The trial began ON Sep
TENDER 80.
In giving his decision on the law
points which arose during the trial,
Judge Welborn laid down a point of
law which is held to be one of the most
important which has been enunciated
since the Interstate commerce COM
mission has existed. He said:
81 hold that the acceptance by the
defendant of less sum of money than
that named in its tariff for the trans
portation of its property described in
the indictment, If there had been such
acceptance was departure from the
legal rate, and that it is not justified
in so ding, nor is it any defense to a
prosecution thereof, that the acts of
the carrier we're done in compromise
of claims for loss of property in
transit"

him to be christened Though limit

two choice words picked up from his
father. OF course, he looked like

day, with his wide blue eyes and shin

KELLOGG HAS THE EVIDENCE.
Books Show the Standard Oil Trust
Was Never Really Dissolved
He Says.

New York, Oct. 9.-From statements
culled from ledgers and books found
in the Office of the Standard Oil COM
pany, Frank b. Kellogg, counsel for
the United States government, sue
ceeded in placing On Tuesdays rec
ord of federal proceedings against the
oil combine the processes and stages
through which the combine passed in
its changes from the old Standard Oil
trust to the present Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey. Out of the maze
of figure developed from the COM
pany's books and from the testimony
given by Clarence G. Fay, assistant
auditor OF the Standard, called as
witness Tuesday, the governments
counsel says he believes he has proved
the federal allegation that the Stan
dard is an Illegal corporation and that
by devious devices has maintained its
entity, and that it is under the same
ownership as when it was formed.
Mr. Kellogg says he is of the opin-
ion that Notwithstanding that the gov
eminent was unable to discover the
transfer books and stock ledgers of
the liquidating trustees the evidence
adduced Tuesday shows that the so
called oil trust only affected to dis
solve under the order of the Ohio
courts in 1892, and that its direction
is still held by those who had to do
with the formation of the Standard
Oil trus..

Was NOT SUICIDE
Coroner's Jury Convinced that Miss
Sapp of Moran, Kan, Was
Murdered.
WHITLOW UNDER ARREST
Man Accused of Committing Crime
Was On the Stand Three
Hours But Nothing
New Developed.

lola, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE coroner's
jury which has spent three days in
vestigating the mysterious death Of
May Sapp Thursday night returned
a verdict that Miss Sapp died from
wounds in the neck caused by sharp
instrument in the hands of a person
or persons other than Miss Sapp." So
determined was the jury to make
plain their disbelief in the theory of
suicide in connection with the case
that when they inadvertently word
ed their verdict to read, that
Miss Sapp's death was caused by
"a person or persons unknown to Miss
Sapp,' they promptly changed it to
"a person or persons other than Miss
Sapp."
A warrant was sworn out Thursday
night for Samuel F Whitlow immed-
ately after the coroner's jury reported.
John Sapp, father of the dead girl,
swore to the complaint, charging Whit
low with the crime.
Whitlow was on the stand for three
hours Thursday afternoon. He did not
change his original story in any par
ticular and he added nothing material
to his first confession. Every one not
a relative was barred from the hear
ing when Whitlow was testifying.
The county attorney spent two hours
with Whitlow at the Jail earlier in the
day, but it is not believed he secured
any important facts from the prisoner.
Mrs. Whitlow was submitted to a Sc
we're cross examination, the special
purpose of which was to establish the
fact that she was not present when
the girl was killed. She told straight
forward story corroborating her for
mer testimony and convinced the jury
that she was at home with her chill
,dren when the tragedy occurred.
John Haner neighbor of the Sapp
family, testified that upon one oc-
casion he heard Miss Sapp talking to
herself. waving her arms excitedly and
in other ways acting strangely when
she was alone. He was not near
enough to hear what the girl said, but
his attention was attracted by the
SOUNDS she made. He had never seen
Miss Sapp act in this strange manner
but once.

places where such law has been in
effect there will be failure some
where. There is not an advocate of
local option. in the City of Paris, who
does not believe that, if such a law is
adopted, the Mayor will do his utmost
to enforce it, as ne has all other laws
since he has been in Office. He has
shown exclusively, that he has a high
regard for his oath of office and the
courage to enforce the law against
friends or foe. But no official in anv
city has ever been able to stamp out
boot-leggers and blind tigers-or pre-
vent the illegal sale of liquor-and un-
less Mr.. O'Brien can accomplish some
thing that no other official has been
able to DO, there must, for the first
time be written across his official re-
cord which has extended ever period
OF nearly ten years the word
FAILURE. Is there any person VINO
believes in the enforcement of the law.
and has the true interests of the CITY
at heart, who wishes such a thing to
happen? 1t is sincerely 70 be hoped
not. Suppose however that the Mayor
arrests or has arrested every person
who sells liquor against the law and
such arrests are numerous; suppose ne
has arrested every drunken man
seen on the streets. Suppose he fol-
ows the example of the Mayor of Yer
sailles and intsructs the policemen TO
arrest the droyes of drunken men who
get off the interurban cars from Lex
ington. If these things happen and
happen they have in all other places
then across the local option law
must be written as it has been writ
ten IN all other places the word. fail
ure. Any law adopted for the purpose
OF reducing intemperance, that does
not do so. is canfessedIy a failure.
Unless the experience of this place
differs from that OF all others, one or
the other of these conditions must be
produced In the City Of Paris by the
adoption of a local option law. The
success of local option means one OF
the other. Its defeat means the main.
tenance of present conditions with
the laws enforced, with peace and
good order assured and the community
prosperous. Is it worth while to
drop the substance to grasp at the
shadow"

That Letter OF Judge Burroughs.

Several weeks ago | went TO Carlisle
for the purpose of Interviewing its
citizens as to how local option had
affected the city. This Investigation
was invited, tacitly. by several Of its
citizens, who sent the leaders of the
local option movement here. a letter
over their signatures, in substance,
that conditions there, both morally
and from a business standpoint, were
better than under licensed regime. 1t
was necessary for the advocates Of
license to investigate the truth OF these
statements. as they were continuously
used as an argument for local option
in Paris, and we believed il they were
true, then the theory OF the licensed
advocates was wrong, and that we
ought not to oppose local option. The
conclusion / reached upon this subject
and the result of my Investigation was
published in the Bourbon News on
March the first, and few days later
an effort was made to contradict the
truth Of the statements contained in
that publication by a letter published
in the Kentuckian-Citiz This letter
does not claim to have been signed at
al, but concludes by saying that it is
vouched for by the following gentle
men''-then naming them.
I do not know whether this letter
was really signed by those gentlemen
or not, but / do know that there APP
p6ared in the list of names the names
Of men who did not believe the state
ment that the article contained. In
answering this letter, so far as it had
anything to say about the Police Court
records of Carlisle, this language was
used: 1T is again positively asserted
here that the records Of the Police
Court of the City of Carlisle viii show
