A wink by Wu Ting Fang, as the fake photograph shows it.
Especial to the Gold Digger

WASHINGTON. Oct S.-Is that most solemn and craftiest of Chinese jokers, Wu Ting Fang, playing lit tie joke on the United States?
 on the same day that a cable from Picking states that he is to be ogain appointed minister to the United States comes a story that China is about to establish schols in this coun- try for the children of resident Chi nese.
 It is to laugh, although the willy Wu never cracks a smile. It's always wink and a chuckle with him.
 There are countless anecdotes of this subtle Chinamans amusing pranks in America. On one occasion he was invited to attend a banquet in an Ohio city The reception commit tee, knowing his tastes, planned to entertain the minister in relays. They took him, one at time to the buffet dIlu hGpl lllG CplhS pOPPiiiSs III IiAC small hours of the morning Minister Wu sclemnly shook the hand of the last survivor of the committee who was being led to his carriage by the coachman, and thankel him for the light refreshments that had been fur nished. Then he returned to the re- freshment room for a farewell toast and sedately departed, no worse for his experience.
 One of Wus favorite amusements was oallowd strangers to hold long pidgln- talk conversations with him, then suddenly make a long reply in the most polished English.

STANDARD OILS PAMPHLET
Sends 1t Out to Its Stockholders and
Denies Guilt.

New York, Aug. 21.-while Presi-
dent Roosevelt was telling the people
at Provincetown, Mass, that he in
tended to send to prison certain male
factors" presumably the Standard
Oil people, those people were sending
out apamphfet to the eompany's stock
holders in which it is declared that
the Standard OIL is innocent Of any
real violation Of law and is the OBJ
ject Of a conspiracy between the ad-
ministration and the press ''uplifters."
Referring to Judge Lands decision.
the pamphlet says:
IF the judgment in question be al
lowed to stand, the company VIII be
forced to pay $4,000 that is. fifty
times the value of the oiD for every
carload carried over the Alton road
during two years at an open 6-cent
rate-a rate used over three Compel
ing railroads for from ten to fourteen
years.
THE trial judge refused to allow
proof that the 6-cent ratehad been filed
by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
and was therefore a legal rate. He
refused to allow proof that Iinseed oil.
for instance, was carried at s cents.
He insisted that IS cents was the only
legal rate for oil, when no one had
ever paid 1t, and when it was authori-
tatively sworn that it did not apply to
OIL
The pamphlet declares the press is
"SWayed alike by socialistic outcry
from below and political pressure from
above" and continues: LAS proof Of
the latter, it may be noted that in
the presidents message of Nav 4.
1906. attack was made on the Stand
ard Oil company for the purpose of
forcing the passage of the bill remit
! ting the duty on denatured alcohol =
a measure in which the company was
not interested. On May It, 1906, the
! issue of Commissioner Garfeld's re-
port on petroleum transportation, a
tissue Of old misrepresentation, was
timed to influence the Hepburn rate
bill, then before congress.
ION May 20, 1907 while Judge
lands had still under consideration
the judgment in the Chicago and Al
ton rate case, Commissioner Smiths
partisan report on these lines was
made public. The commissioners sec
ond report on the petroleum prices and
profits, wholly false deduction from
Incomplete facts, was sent in advance
to the press for publication on Aug. 5,
in the knowledge that Judge Lands
would pronounce judgment Aug. 3.
Here surely is evidence of combina-
ton influencing all sources of public
opinion, disturbing the orderly dispo-
sition of justice, sanctioning in adj
vance. and supporting when made, the
most sensational opinions and judg-
ments hostile to the company"
