New York. Sept. 24,-That the Stan
dard Oil company plans a sweeping
reorganization when it has cleared it
self of the mesh of litigation in which
Il is now entangied was the statement
made by a representative of the COM
pany.

The trusts representative denied that
there was to be a conference OF stan
dard Oil interests at H. H. Rogers
home in Massachusetts, and said that
Rogers has not been consulted since
he was taken i'll. His statement fol-
lows:
1.-THE statement that a conference OF
Standard Oil interests has been called
for the purpose Of changing the name
Of the company and effecting reorgani-
cation in general is without foundation.
We can do nothing in this respect so
long as the company is under inVesu'
cation.
81 can say. however, that as soon as
the Standard Oil company has freed IL
self from the labyrinth Of litigation
now involving 1t, then there Will De
REORGANIZATION. The capital stock VIII

with the value of its assets, to $780,
100000 or $500 100000.
1--WE also purpose to issue periodlcal
statements of earnings, operations
etc. We propose to give the represen-
tatives of the government everything
IN the way of information that 1t calls
for which is all we can do. II we
are guilty of certain infractions OF the
law. then practically all other corpora
tions are guilty of the same Oneness
and should be treated accordingly. But
we are confident we will win out.

Underwater Pipe company of Pennsyl-
vania came under virtual control OF
the Standard Oil company were unfold
al in the hearing of the government

into in 1888 between the two COM
NAMES. the oil business was divided IN
such proportion that the Tidewater
did H. per cent. and the Standard
8s1b per cent. President Benson tes-
tiAed that since the agreement II
1889 the business of neither the Tide

parent company, the Tidewater Ol

Mr.. Benson gave testimony to snow
that under existing contracts with The
