| The retirement of many officers
who will become rear admirals within
a short time is one of the big prob
lens confronting the navy department,
as a majority of them will not hold
the rank long enough to complete a
two-year cruise at sea as division
squadron or feet commanders. AS
the new Pacific fleet will require sew
en- or eight division commanders, it
is likely that Secretary Metcalf will
have difficulty in finding proper Of
ficers to serve a full cruise in those
, commands.
Among other rear admirals to be
retired, are R. D. Evans and K. c.
Goodrich.

opinion that have arisen In regard to
the government of the forest reserves

Should the President decline posi-
lively to consider denomination,
Colorado would likely send Taft del
egation to the national convention
The principal opponents of Taft are
the labor unions and the beet sugar
interests. Sugar beet men are OPP
posed to him because of the Philip
pine tariff policy The Secretary has
fought yaliantly for reduction in the
tariff on Philippine sugar, and has not
yet given up the battle. While the
counties in the beet-grow:ng district
are strongly republican, they would
probably be strongly opposed to the
nomination or election of Taft.

When the health is run down from
overwork, overstudy, or from whatever
cause, good tonic is needed.
But sometimes what is mistaken for
simple debility is a symptom of a more
serious disorder, anRmia perhaps, or
breaking down of the nervous system.
BY taking tonic that Is also specific

prevented That is what was done in

Period OF Eight Years
SECRETS ARE REVEALED
Standard Company OF New Jersey
Controlled Nearly Four Score Sub
sidiary Comprehension Hazy
as to Liquidating Records

New York. Sept. 1S.-Delving into
the financial workings of the standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the holding
company of all the subsidiary organiza-
tons of the so-called oil trust, Frank Il.
Kellogg. conducting the federal suit for
the dissolution of the company, brought
forth to public view for the first time
the enormous profits made by the
Standard Oil company.
In Il period of eight years, from 1899
to 1906 inclusive, the Standard Oil com
pany, on u statement spread upon the
record of yesterdays hearings. was
shown to have earned the total profits
of $40, 31J,934, or at the rate of more
than $61 100000 year, and distributed
to its shareholders in the same period
$30S 800, 4O3.
While the company was earning
these vast sums in the refining of oil
the statements adduced at the hearing
show that between 1899 and 1906 the
assets of the company grew by leaps
and bounds from 5000, 79l, 523 to SAIL
6G4 ,531. The capital stock is $9S,33S,-
49,
Finunciers and those seeking knowl-
edge of the exact profits of the Stand
ard company have striven vainly to
obtain the figures which Kellogg sue
Ceeded in placing upon the records OF
the court The Standard Oil company
makes no statement Of its business. and
other than the declaration of a dividend
it makes no public announcement by
which its business may he gagged,
The hearing brought out much infor-
nation which Kellogg obtained from
| the Standard Oil company. including Il
statement showing that the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey controlled
by stock ownership over 40 companies
engaged in the refining and the trans
portation by pipe line of oil on Sept.
II. 1907. The Standard OIL has always
carefully guarded the list of its subsi-
diary companies and the amount of its
sharchodings. The hss showed that
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey owned 5000. 900 of the total capital

Charles NJ. Pratt. secretary Of the
Standard Oil company, who testified
that he had been Il liquidating trustee
said he did not know the whereabouts
of the records. and could recall but lit
tie regarding the liquidation of the
Standard Oil trust.
Clarence Fay assistant comptroller
for the Standard company, the tina
witness yesterday, was also unable t
give the governments inquisitor the
information he desired. which caused

ing closed that he thought it strange
