THE BEREA INSTITUTE.

! -
The donation of Mrs. Russell Sage,
Of s$20,000 brings the fund for the
Berea college (colored institute) up
70 $35o,oOO raised outside Of Ken
fuekys The. total amount wanted is
100000, of which $4,000 is ex-
pected from Kentucky. Much of the
latter sum has already been pledged.
We understand that in the neighbor
hood of $1,000 has been contributed
bv the colored people of this com
nunity.
The school is to be modelled on the
Tuskegee Institute of which Booke
Washington is the head. The site
has not yet been selected, but under
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1908-11-19

the law which was recently held con-
Estitutional by the Supreme Court of
the United States, it must be at least
twenty miles from Berea.
Clark county ought to endeavor to
secure this school. 1t is planned, we
believe, to build not In city but
accessible to a city. 1t would mean
much to the county to have a $780,
900 institution here. The buildings,
of course, would be erected mostly
by local workmen and, after its es-
tablishment, there would be a con-
slant and considerable revenue to
our local merchants.
Clark county is the most accessible
point. 1t is close to the parent col
lege and has direct railroad con-
nection with Berea. Lexington is
bending every endeavor to get the
institute The Lexington papers re-
port daily meetings among the col
ored people and many contributions
Of course, it does not necessarily
follow that the place giving the most
money will be chosen. But other
things being equal, a large contribu-
ton may affect the result. Clark,
as matters stand, has the best chance
but nothing should be left undone to
influence the Berea officials to decide
in favor Of this county.

STANDARDS HISTORY

Is Related by John D. Rockefeller on
the Witness Stand.
New York, Nov. 19.-Relating his
story with the air of a country gen.
tleman of kindly mien engaging a
host of friends with incidents of days
long past, John d. Rockefeller, presi-
dent of the Standard Oil company,
for over two hours reviewed the his
tory of the early oil trade and the
development of the first companies
that later grew into the present So
called oil trust. Mr.. Rockefeller was
a witness for the defense in the SUI
to dissolve the Standard, and his ap-
pearance at the hearing before Judge
Franklin Ferriss brought a large
crowd to the customs building.
Mr.. Rockefeller spoke of his start
in the oil business and how under
adverse conditions that business
grew to the proportions of the Stand
ard Oil company of Ohio, with its
capitalization of s1,000,0 900. Mr..
Rockefeller's eyes sparkled in refiec-
ton on that early financial organiza-
ton and, speaking Of its million-dol-
lar capitalization with almost boyish
enthusiasm he said: TT seemed very
large to us, who began with only $4,-
600 in 1885,"
The development Of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's testimony, which carried him to
the organization of the Standard Oil
company of Ohio. indicated that one
of the lines of the defense would be
that the Standard company is not the
result of an aggressive policy to gain
the mastery of the oil trade, as
charged, but the natural outcome of
economical development, which the
exigencies of the oil industry de-
manded.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The So
termed starch trust" was under fire
at the hearing on tariff revision be-
fore the house committee on ways
and means. The cross-examination of
J. B. Walton. representing the Corn
Products Refining company, which, it
was claimed, monopolizes the starch
business, formed the most interest
ing incident Of the hearing, which
covered the tariff schedule on agri-
cultural products and provisions.
Citrus fruits also occupied consider
able attention.
Mr.. Walton admitted that his COM
pany sells corn starch in the United
Kingdom at a price 40 cents less
than it is sold in this country. He
also admitted that there was a loss in
selling corn starch in Great Britain.
"The committee can understand
why you desire a protective tariff, -
said Mr.. Gaines of West Virginia,
but We want to know why you
should have it. You are selling your
product in Great Britain, a free trade
country, cheaper than here, but you
want protection here"
why don't the American consum-
ers go to London to buy their corn
starch?" inquired Mr.. Bonynge of
Colorado. To these and similar ques-
tons Mr. Walton was evidently at a
loss for a reply.
Representative Serena Payne, the
chairman of the committee and a
stand-patter, supplied the answer.
''The sales of your products have
been falling off in this country for
some time past" he said, land you
are selling at loss abroad in order
to get rid Of your product"
Representatives of the California
and Florida citrus fruit growers
urged higher tariff on oranges and
lemons, which was strongly opposed
by F. A. Hamilton, representing the
Italian chamber of commerce and
the citrus fruit trade Of New Yorh.
He wanted the duty on lemons e..
tirely removed, claiming that the
American growers are securing ar
unreasonable profit and driving out
the cheaper foreign fruits at the ex-
pense of the masses of the American
people.

Richie wants the verdict reversed
on the ground that the bullet fired
by him actually hit the victim and
hence the Indictment was defective
In charging only that he shot at the

that shooting at" and shooting are
two different crimes under the laws
and that a strict construction re-
