NEW YORK. Oct. 3.--For the first time
there has just been made public the in
come account and balance sheet of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
which is the parent of all the Standard
Oil companies of the world. The report
shows that the wealth of the company
has at no time been limited.
The income account shows that while
the company paid S40000,000 in dividends
carried more than $8S,000,000 and left
surplus for the year something more than
$43, 200, 900. Added to the previous surplus
the total surplus in profit and loss
amounts to $261, 100000, or more than nine
times the amount of the great fine. The
balance sheet of the company shows as
sets of $3n 664, ,532, as compared with
capitalization of 100000 600. Apart from
the capital stock outstanding and the
profit and loss surplus the only liabilities
are accounts payable to the amount of
$12 264, 900.
When the hearing of the federal suit
for the dissolution of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey was resumed to-
day, evidence was adduced which Frank
b. Kellogg, conducting the governments
case, said he believed proves the conten-
bine through it's subsidies, the Galena
Signal Oil company of New York. and me
Waters-Pierce Oil company, have mo-
nopoly of the railway lubricating oil busi-
ness and that it not only charges an ex-
cessve price, but that 1t diScriminates
against certain railroads in the prices
charged for its product.
Makes Many Varieties
The Standard manufactures engine,
valve. car and coach oil and Mr.. Kellogg
said 1t would show that it controlled 81
per cent of the business.
G. N. Stenbrenner. auditor of the rail-
way department of the Galena Signal Oil
company, was the first witness called
which he knew sold lubricating oil to
railroads were the Galena Signal Oil
company and the Waters-Pierce Oil com
pany.
The Waters-Pierce company, he testi-
fed. obtains it's oil from the Galena Sig.
nal Oil company which in turn secures
its supply from the Standard OIL com
pany at the same price as is sold to the
railroads. The Galena Signal OIL COM
pany gets no refund.
Mr.. kellogg read letter from Charles
Miller president of the Galena Signal Oil
company, written February 23, 1905, to
D. D. Marony, vice. president of the
Pittsburg, Shawmut Northern railroad,
in which Mr.. Miller stated that the
Galena Signal Oil company was supply
ing 9715 per cent of the total railway
mileage of the United States. Canada and
Mexico with lubricating oil.

Investigating Robbery.
DON A. SWEET RESIGNS;
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED

Don A. Sweet has resigned his po-
sition with the Pecos Valley & North
eastern Railroad Company, and the
fact that he filled three places, direc-
tor, auditor and secretary of the road,
caused a special election to be held.
General Manager Avery Turner and a
party of officials of the road came to
Roswell in a special train at eight
O'Clock this morning and held the
election Immediately upon their ar
rival, so the other officials might re-
turn to Amarillo on the morning pass
enger As the result of the election,
]. N. Freeman. of Amarillo. was cho-
sen secretary of the road, and A. E.
Meyer was elected director and ap-
pointed auditor to fill the vacancies.
General Manager Turner remained
in Roswell on business today and
will go to Carlsbad tonight

Don't Like Uncle Sans Grub.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Altilough NJ
great effort has been made to publish
the fact, the Panama canal commits
sion has lately received many kicks
from workme.l employed in the con
struction of the big ditch. The objec
tions are of a simple nature, being
merely a demand for better grub. The
government now has monopoly OF
the boarding houses and hotels in the
canal zone, of which there are about
forty. Up till last summer there were
many private hotels and boarding
houses in the zone and the workmen
allege that the meals were better and
cheaper than those served by Uncle
Samuel The government settled
the hash of the private hotels by
means of an order prohibiting cooking
IN any of the government buildings
except of Official hotels and the cot
tages occupied by families who kept
no boarders. The protest against U1
Gle Sam as a chef is now said to have
reached an acute stage and many OF
the workmen have threatened to re-
sign unless conditions are bettered.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission today con
cluded it's New York hearing upon
the investigation of the operation
and relations of the Union Pacific
system, and while there will ibe oral
argument heard at Washington in
April. the testimony has probably all
been taken. There has been no de-
cision yet as to an appeal to the
to answer many important questions
declined by them, but the question
will be considered by the Commission
after its return to Washington.
New York. Feb. 2S.-When the In
terstate Commerce Commission re-
sumed the investigation of the Har-
riman lines today it was with the
understanding that few hours would
conclude the hearing. 1t was stated
by counsel for the government to-
day that no steps had yet been taken
to place before the courts the Ques-
ton raised by the refusal of Harri-
man and Kuhn to answer certain
questions relative to the holdings of
stocks. Before the opening of the
hearing today it was said that, con-
trary to expectations, William G..
Rockefeller would not be called to
testify. regarding the alleged sale to
him by Hartman of 100000 shares
of Union Pacific in the "Keene raid"
of 1908.
Samuel FELTON,, president of the
Chicago C Alton, was called to show
that about a million dollars from the
income as against the proceeds from
the sale of securities was included
in the statement that showed that
s22,0OO,OOO had been expended in
Improvements. The twenty-five mill
ions also included about two and
three-quarter millions expended since
last June and paid for by certificates,
thus reducing expenses from the sale
of securities in the Alton to between
eighteen and nineteen millions.
Charles w. Hillard, comptroller of
the Alton, was then called. Kellogg
endeavored to show that the Harri-
man management of the Alton had
capitalized the debts of the old Joliet
& Chicago road prior to 1898, but Hill
lard said that his knowledge of the
roads affairs did not go so far back.
