Standard Oil Pays S2l.25 to
Him Every Minute
EARNINGS S9OO,OOO,OOO
Tilford, the Treasurer, Is Again Wit
s--Great Profits and Small
Standard Dividends
Explained.

New York, Sept 2l,-Between $780,,
100000 and S0o0,000,0o0 have been earn
cd BY the oil trust in the last twenty
five years, according to the experts of
the government who are examining the
Standard Oil company's books Treas
urer Tilford resumed his testimony yes
terday He explained that the reason
why the STANDARD dividend in 1909 was
only SI4,000,000, instead Of $32,000,000,
was because the dividends of some sub
sidiary companies went To individuals.
HE denied all knowledge Of the Manhat
tan company Of Ohio and its dealings.
Many signers of the original trust agree
ment now hold stock in the Standard.
John ID. Rockefeller now owns 247 ,G92 Of
the toaI 972,500 shares Of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey AS Stan
dard Oil stock was quoted last at $440
a share, Mr. Roekefeller's holdings are
worth nearly $l09,000,000. The holdings
of William Rockefeller were stated by
Mr.. TiIford to be ll,T00 shares, and
those of III. II. Rogers l6,020 shares.
Other large holders of original and pres
ent oil stock are Henry NJ. Flagler, Oh
liver HI. Payne and Charles II. Pratt.
Some Of the Standard Oil company books
wanted by the governments counsel
have not yet been produced, but several
important books have been forthcoming,
The agreement of 1882, which was signed
by many Of the men now in the front
ranks OF Standard Oil ownership and
management, was put in evidence by MIR.
Kellogg, and its authenticity was ad
mited BY the company's lawyers. How
Mr.. Kellogg obtained possession of this
document Is not known 1t is said that
Detective Flynn, head Of the New York
branch of the United States secret SER
vice, has conferred with MIR. Kellogg
since the hearing here began.
For the first time since he became
world known figure because Of his enorr
nous wealth. his profit from the giant
trust has become known. When the tes-
tim0ny came out that John ID. Rocke
felEer owned more than one-fourth of
the stock of the STANDARD Oil, there was
a hasty computation in the court room.
A minutes figuring showed that John
D.s proportion Of the stock was rs 4.I0
per cent. In the eight years, from 1879
to 1906 inclusive. dividends amounting
TO $3GS S,359,402 have been paid on oil
stock. Mr. Roekefellers share Of the
dividends in the eight years amounted
to $9l ,406,s22l2. Dividing by eight, and
again by 1865, again BY "a and finally By
90. Mr., Rockefeller's income from his
oil stock Is seen to have been S2l.25

termine great national issues, and gradu.
ally create an enduring body Of inter,

According to the view expressed here, hy
