ficers and directors of these subsidiary
companies in the trust period and In
the liquidating period, but admitted
that during the liquidation of the trust
there was no change in the real man
agement of the companies.
Mr.. Tilford was shown a copy of the
agreement of 1882 showing a list of
companies that entered into the trust.
1T appears that the Chess Carley
company signed that agreement; have
you thought about that since I spoke to
you last night?" asked Mr.. kellogg.
NO, 1 have not" replied Mr.. Tilford,
who yesterday testified that he had
been a member of the Chess Carley
company of Louisville before he became
identified with the Standard Oil COM
pany. Mr. Tilford was asked when 1t
signed the trust agreement. He re-
piled that the stockholders were F. d.
Carley and the Standard Oil company of
Ohio Mr.. Tilford said that he became
identified with the Standard OIL COM
pany of Ohio on 1878. He was a liqui-
dating trustee and one of the trustees
under the trust agreement he said. Mr..
Tilford testified that between 1892 and
1899 the trust tees received the dividends
on the unliquidated stocks of the SUBJ
sidiary companies and distributed the
money to the holders of the trust GER
tifcates and the holders of the liqui-
dating assignments. The trustees did
not vote this subsidiary stock as they
had done before the company under
went liquidation. Prior to 1892, Mr..
Tilford said, the trustees voted the
stock and elected the directors of all
the subsidiary companies.
Mr.. Kellogg again asked Mr.. Tilford
if 1t was not a fact that the liquidat-
ing trustees during the liquidation
period voted the stock of the subsidiary
companies whose stock was still I'M
liquidated.
Il am quite sure they did not" re-
piled Mr.. Tilford.
Then who voted the officers of
these subsidiary companies?" asked Mr..
Kellogg.
They were elected by individual
stockholders of those companies" an

TRUSTS SUBSIDIARY PAYS
PROFITS, BUYING AT LOSS
BY Associated Press.

Ey Associated Press.
FINDLAY, Ohio, Sept. 19.-Sut was
filed in the common pleas court today
by w. D. David, county prosecutor, to
deprive the Manhattan Oil company of
it's charter and enjoin it paying higher
price for oil than is paid by the Buckeye
Pipe Line company in the same terri
tory.
The petition alleges that the Manhat-
tan was formerly an independent COM
pany but was absorbed eight years ago
by the Standard Oil company. and is now
owned by the Industrial Development
company, Limited, of London, England,
and only five shares of the stock, valued
at 500 each, are owned by the directors
who manage the affairs of the company.
The petition charges further that after
the absorption the Solar Refining COM
pahy, constituent of the Standard Oil
company, tooA over it's refinery; the
Ohio Oil company it's production; the
Union Tank Line its tank cars, leaving
the company only its gathering lines,
which are used to fight the so-called in
dependent companies.
1t is alleged that for the last seven
years the company has done nothing but
serve as gathering medium for the
Buckeye Pipe Line company, paying
cents a barrel more for the oil than is
received for 1t when the commodity was
passed onto the Buckeye Pipe Line COM
pany, yet the Manhattan paid dividends
annually to its stockholders.

JOHN D. JR. RESIGNS FROM
BIBLE CLASS LEADERSHIP
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 19.-John D. Rookie
Teller jr., will cease to be the leader of
the Young Mems Bible class of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church on October l. He
has resigned and his resignation has
been accepted. Increasing demands of
business and fear of recurrence of i'll
health are the reasons given by him in a
lengthy letter to the class.
His resignation was acted upon by the
executive committee of the class. He
says in his letter: "It is with the great
est regret that your leader has presented
to the executive committee his resigna-
ton, which has been accepted, to take
effect October /. His breakdown of three
years ago and the suggestion of a recur-
renee of the difficulty last winter, to-
gether with the increasing demands
made upon him in various lines, have i'm
PEELED him. though most reluctantly, to
take this action. So deep has been his
interest in this work, so sincere his af-
lection for the class and SO warm the
friendships which he has formed within
the membership that only clear sense
of duty would have led him to the sever
ance of relationship which has been
throughout as great benefit and inspi-
ration to him as its dlscontinuance will
be deep personal loss"

Followers Blind
'The heads of these machines or COM
missions are highly intelligent, yet their
| followers are blind and their form OF
government undemocratic. An unin-
formed public will be more easily preyed
upon by a small commission than by a
large board, for the same reason that
political corruption never became
science until one boss or a small COM
mission of bosses took the place of larger
bodies of corruptionists.
There is no essential difference In
principle between the five commissioners
proposed for Des Moines and the seven
representatives in New Yorks governing

and apportionment II the electorate is
to remain uniformed what reason is
there to believe that the Galveston idea
or the Des Moines idea will OF them
selves, after they have passed the clean
broom stage, guarantee any better FORM
of government than New York now has
from it's board of estimate and appor-
tionment?
I'm spite of the small numbers In this
governing body Comptroller Metz of New

so increase revenues that within twenty
FIVE years DO taxes need be levied In
New York city. Furthermore, he says
that the citys present method of de-
scribing it's expenditures and its official
acts at the present time conceal rather
than reveal the truth. Few of the adj
vocates of the commission idea will have
the courage to cite New York city's gov
eminent as their model.
Opportunities for Graft
while the commission idea of itself
gives greater opportunity for clever graft
and for concealed wastefulness and in
efficiency and while of itself 1t affords
no guarantee of an intelligent public, 1t
is my belief that an informed electorate
can accomplish more with small COM
mission than with large unwieldy COM
mission. The commission Idea will prove
helplessly inefficient unless all cities
