heating bit for the required shade
Of color, and be ready to cool it
when that shade is reached. To
meet this objection, the following
alternative plan, is offered, the
product is equally uniform, and
the author has employed it with
great success, having first noticed
the idea in Colorado.
The. hardening tank is provided
with diaphragm of coarse wire
gauze, placed horizontally and
supported at frequent intervals
to keep it quite level; the cooling
watersenters near the bottom of
the tank, and the overflow is fixed
so that the water shall cover the
screen to a depth of half an inch.
Racks are placed above the tank
to hold the drill shanks in a verti-
cal position. The heated bit is
simply placed in the tank where
it rests on the wire gauze, only
the last half inch of cutting face
being below the water, and is
maintained in an upright position
by the rack. If a bar of steel
one inch in diameter were treated
in this manner, it would stand a
chance of being ringed at the
water-level; but owing to the
thinness of the ribs this will not
occur to the bit, provided it is
not overheated. The thin
tumbler stands boiling. water,
while the thick one cracks; the
heated end of the bit is in contact
with comparatively small body
of water, and the thin ribs con-
duct the heat and prevent any
sudden contraction or ringing.

Oil Trust
Protests
Innocence

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Following the
decision Of Judge lands iining the
Standard oil Company Of Indiana So
10000, President James A. MOffatt to-
day gave a statement which says "a
part:
THE Standard OIL Company of In
diana was convicted OF receiving what
the Government claimed was a conces-
sion from the Chicago and Alton in the
shipment Of oil from its refinery at
Whiting. Ind. to East ST. Louis. Ill
II must be borne in mind that there is
no question Of rebate or discrimination.
The contention or the Government was
that the lawful rate was IS cents per
100 pounds. The defendant claims that
the lawful rate was cents, and. sec
ondly, II cents was not the lawful
rate II was the rate issued to the
Standard by the Alton as the lawful
rate. and the Standard was justified IN
believing 8 cents WAS the lawful rate. b
The period covered by the indictment
was September !. 1903. 20 March l. 1906
The rate on oil between Chicago and
East St. Louis over the Alton from 1891
to 1905 was always cents.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois
railroad also runs between whiting and
East St Louis. The Standard Oil Com
pany shipped about one-third Of all the
oil that went from Whiting to East St.
Louis over the Eastern Illinois. The
defendant offered that not only during
the time covered by the Indictment. but
from 1895 the Eastern Illinois had
a rate between Whiting and East St
Louis on oil Of cents. The defendant
contends that this proof would have
cOnClusiVely shown that the Standard
Oil Company had no possible motive in
shipping yer the Alton and thereby vio-
Iating the law.
I'VE further insist that whatever may
be ones technical view Of the law every
consideration Is with the defendant and
had the only desire been 20 give this
defendant a square deal the prosecu-
ton never would have been instituted -

Prosecution

High Federal officials are now Won
dering if the Standard Oil rebate case
at Chicago does not point the way to
the criminal prosecution of Z. H. Harri-
man.
The order of Judge Lands, directing
the grand jury to take up on August
Ii the rebate practices as related to the
Chicago and Alton railroad, may mean
the criminal prosecution Of the railroad
officials who granted the rebates TO the
Standard Oil. the acceptance Of which
resulted yesterday in the assessment of
a fine of over s29,00O,ooO.

prosecutions are being conducted, is

When Judge Gresham became Secre-

The State Department woke up when

There was much important work done
In the State Department while lands
was there. The Cleveland policy to put
back Queen Liliuokalani on the Ha-

Bering sea arbitration was on, the
Venezuelan boundary controversy vita
England was conceived, and the Alli-
anca affair occurred.
II was a stirring question at the time.
The Alliance, an American passenger
vessel. was Overhauled by a Spanish
gunboat when outside the three-iniIe
limit Of Cuban jurisdiction, and searched
on the suspicion Of its being loaded with
munitions of war for the Cuban in
surgents.
There were news leaks IN the State
Department. in that stirring period.
These leaks disturbed Mr.. Cleveland.
The important information that Minister
Willis. at Honolulu. had been instructed
10 put the crown on LiIiuokalanTs head
again got into the newspapers before
Mr.. Willis had received the instructions,
and the news that the Administration
had demanded the recall OF Lorin n.

Didn't Leak News.
When the newspapers got hold Of the
Thurston incident. Mr.. Cleveland decided
10 do something. He made an inquiry
and found out that lands was a fre-
quent visitor at the local press club.
This excited his suspicious, and he told
Secretary Gresham that lands would
have TO go.
Mr.. Gresham responded that Lands
was innocent, and that II lands was
dismissed. Mr.. Cleveland would have to
find new Secretary OF State. Mr..
Cleveland would not have It IN that way
