BOMB INCIDENT AT FRISCO
Loaded with Powder and with Fuse
Attached but Never Had Been
Lighted. 1t Seems.

San Francisco, May 20.-With the
exception of the fact alleged by the
United Railroads that seventeen of its
striking motormen and conductors
have been taken back on their own ap-
plication, there is no change in the
street car strike. Police investigation
Of an alleged attempt to blow up n
Suffer street car established the fol-
lowing facts: Shortly after D. m. n
neWsboy boarded street car and
handed a satchel to the conductor.
The latter carried it forward ana
set it down on the platform beside the
motorman. When examined at police
headquarters the sachel was found To
contain bomb loaded with black pow,
der and filed with miners fuse. This
fuse had been run through a candle
stump. but the candle had not been
lighted. The belief of the police is
that whoever loaded the sachel hoped
10 discourage people from riding on
he cars and counted on the newspa-
per notoriety that would result from
discovery Of the internal machine.

Report of Commissioner Smith
on the Iniquitils of the
Standard Oil Co.
ITS CONTROL OF PIPE LINES
That Isfhe Fact to Which It Owes
It's Dominance.
Charge for transportation Is Excess.
siVe, and Gives the Independ-
ents No Chance in the
Markets.

Washington, May 90. = Herber
Knox Smith, commissioned of corpora
tions, has made a report regarding the
petroleum industry in which after stat
ing that certain parts of the informa-
ton he has gathered are withheld be.
cause their publication might interfere
with the proper prosecution of a suit
against the Standard Oil company
pending at st. Louis, he says that the
Standard Oil company, with its afin-
ated concerns, is practically the whole
of the petroleum industry in the Unit
ed States. His conclusions are as fol-
lows:
Standards Enormous Advantage.
THESE facts show, therefore. the
enormous advantage which the Stand
ard Oil company possesses over com.
peting refners by reason of It's control
OF the pipe lines in the mid-continent,
Illinois, Indiana, and Appalachi-
an fields. Whether the Standard pipe
lines charge to the Standard refneries
these same exerbitant rates for trans
portation is obviously a matter of in
difference to the Standard organization
as whole. TO the independent con-
Germ which might, if not otherwise re-
stricted, make use Of the Standard pipe
lines, the excessive charges mean that
it is at a tremendous disadvantage as
compared with its great competitor.
Pipe Line Charges Are Excessive.
4 ut has been shown that the Stand
nrd charge for transportation from the
Appalachian field to the seaboard Ia
more than % cents per barrel higher
than the cost of transportation plus 10
per cent. on the cost of reproducing
the pipe lines. This Is more than half
cent gallon, and half cent a gal,
lon will bring a profit of about 10 per
cent. on the necessary investment in
the refining business. The independ.
emf refiner whose pant is situated in
the oil regions is at an equal disadvan-
tage in reaching a large proportion OF
the markets of the country: he must
pay the rail freight rates on his re-
lined product, while the Standard
brings its crude oil to refneries near
TO the centers of consumption at a cost
but small fraction of the rail rate.

CANNON DIMES AT ALBANY
incidentally the Speaker INDUCES in
Some Political Wisdom.

Albany, n. Y, May 20. = Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon was here. the guest
Of the magazine publishers at their an
nual banquet, and while he was here
he took occasion to say a few words
about politics. He paid several com
phments to Governor Hughes and his
policies, and was asked: But can the
governor win with a machine against
him.
There are machines and machines.
| find that usually the machine gets
behind the man who has the 90 per
cent. of his party behind him" Be
ing asked If he considered New York
essential to the election of the next
president, he said: Il have heard per
sons say New York was not essential.
My own opinion is that New York is
the mostimp0rtant state in the scheme
of the election of the next president.
What can be thought of a man who.
in face of the fact that New York has
thirty-niDe votes in the electoral col
lego. would deliberately leave it out
Of his calculations regarding a Repub-
jcan president in 1882"
Speaking of presidential candi-
dates said Speaker Cannon, "a man
is one If he towers above his fellows
and if he has friends and neighbors
who stand up for him." Continuing.
Cannon said when asked how Govern
or Hughes stood in Washington as n
presidential possibility: This early
reminds one of the soon
er dogs We used to have ont in the Wa
bash country. When going out to hunt
coon the sooner dogs always harked
before they struck tie trail"

TO HEAD OFF A SCHEME
So 1t Is Alleged, Mayor Busse Called
for the designations of Twelve
School Trustees.

Chicago, May 2o.-Mayor Busse has
stirred up great deal of discussion by
bis recent action of asking for the
resignation Of twelve members Of the
school board who had been appointed
by the previous Democratic mayor.
Judge Dunno. The reason most com
monty accepted in the absence of a
statement from the mayor himself rs
that the mayor wished to make GER
tain the retention of E. G. Cooley, su.
perintendent of schools.
Cooley is the highest salaried man in
the country in a similar position. and
the board appointed by Mayor Dunno
Included many trustees alleged to be
antagonistic to the present superin-
tendent. Their terms of office expire
in Il few weeks, just before which time
it is customary to hold the election
for superintendent. It was rumored
that they had determined to hold the
election earlier so as to elect another
man in place of COOLEY. Busse heard
Of this and acted at once.

INDEPENDENT LINE INADEoUATE
Standards Domination Has Its Roots
I'm Transportation.

Even those refners who make use
of the trunk pipe line of the Pure Oil
company from the Appalachian field
TO the seaboard are at a very consider,
able disadvantage, since this line is 50
small that its expenses per unit of
product handled are considerably high,
her than those Of the Standard.
THE Standards abuse of its pipe.
line monopoly is thus one Of the great.
est sources of its power If the Stand.
ard pipe lines were obliged to trans
port oil for others at a reasonable
charge the opportunities for competi.
ton in the refining business would no
enormously increased. The failure of
independent concerns to establish sim
1larity efficient pipe lines has not been
due to lack of enterprise or capital II
mas been due in part to the unfair
practices of the Standard in directly
attacking independent pipeline under
raklngs, and in part to the other I'M
iair practices by which the Standard
mas attacked the independent refners
III the marketing of their product and
hence has prevented them from secur.
Ing sufficient volume of business to
Warrant the construction Of great nine
line systems.
1T is apparent, therefore. that the
dominating position of the Standard
on company in the oil industry has
largely been secured by the abuse Of
transportation facilities, first. by fla
grant determinations obtained from
railroads; second, by refusal to on
crate its pipeline system so as TO ex-
tend to independent interests the bepe-
fits to which they were both morally
and legally entitled. while at the same
time the Standard has prevented such
independent interests from construct
ing lines Of their own. Other unfair
which have contributed to the
power Of the company will be dis
cussed in subsequent parts of this re-
port hereafter to be published"
