LOOKING FOR BUSINESS
Rockefeller on Stand Again Today In
the Government Suit Against
Standard Oil Company.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Nov. 19--Johnu D. Rock
efeller was recalled as witness in
the government suit to dissolve the
Standard Oil company. Rockefeller,
under the guidance of John Milburn,
the Standard attorney. explained the
absorption by the Standard of numer-
Gus other companies. According to
the witness these expansions were al
ways with a view, of extending the
Standards business, and made neces-
sary by the uncertainty of the cost
and the supply of raw material, and
these facts still have material bear
ing on the Standards expansion. He
said that other companies had not
prospered because they did not take
these things into account. Rockefel.
Ter said the Long Island and DeYoe
Refining companies were bought be-
cause they had developed fine for
eign business. The Harvey of Louis
vile, the Charles Pratt company, the
Atlantic Refining company, and others
were secured with view to extend
ing the business of the Standard.
Rockefeller was still on direct ex
animation when court adjourned this
afternoon.

WHAT JUDGE POPE THINKS.
Beaumont Judge Explains His Con-
struction of the Game Law.

Beaumont, Texas, Nov. 1S.-The at
torney generals office has taken an
erroneous view of District Judge W.
H. POpe's decision and construction of
the state game statute relating to sell
ing wild ducks which have been killed
in conformity with the statute. = In
the first place, Judge Pope carefully
explained that his decision had no fur
ther effect than to dispose of cases
coming before him, and he endeavored
to make it clear that he was not eX-
ercising the functions of the appellate
|cNlrt. In the second place, Judge
So 6es studiously avoided the use of
ths yofd dhconstitld oha1 and at no
time held or believed the law was un-
constitutional, He holds the law is
absurd, ridiculous and yiolative of the
bill of rights and right of property,
because when the law authorized an
individual to kill twenty-five ducks in
ouS ody lie uuChS lHeIeDy DeCOme the
property of the man who killed them,
and the effect of selling them cannot
work further injury. to game or to
the state or mankind. He places the
same construction on this law as on
the law which requires that automo-
biles carry lights between sunup and
shutdown. 1t is not unconstitutional to
pass a law requiring an automobile
owner to carry a light during the day,
but certainly it is absurd and ridicu-
lous, and the same may be said of the
duck selling feature of the game law,
in Judge Pope's estimation.

TT wAs A nLUNDrR.

Some of the remarks made by secre- tary Taft in his Memorial Day address at the tomb of Grant have been the cause of no little unfavorable comment. especially in the North. One of the things he said was this: "In 1854 arant resigned from the army because he had to. He had yielded to the weakness of a taste for strong drink and rather than be court-martialed he left the army"
 That, to put 1t mildly, was brutal, when we consider the time and oe- casion of its utterance. and when. too. we remember that some of Grants own family were there to hear it. The singular thing about it is that there was no excuse for the utter ance. If he wanted to hold up General Grant as an example of how man in our government can rise from an ob- scure position to ono of great sml- hence he could have done 50 without insulting the memory of the man he was supposedly honoring by his ad- dress at the tomb of his subject.
 The remark was in exceedingly bad taste. and the wonder Is that a man like Taft should have blundered so pal pably. Grant, in his memories. states that he found that he could not sup port his family on the pay of an army captain, so he left the army. It would have been no diseredit to Mfr. Taft to use that account of the affair, and 1t would have been no disoredit to Grant for the speaker to have refer red to the hardships and privations that Grant endured in the interval between the date of his leaving the army and the commencement of his services in the great war which won so much re- nown for him as a soldier.
 The remark was not only in exceed ing bad taste but more impolitic utterance could hardly have been made. Taft is a candidate for the highest office in the government, and he must get 1t. if he gets 1t at all. through the party with which Grant allied himself, and which exalted him to the presidency. Leaving out the bad taste. the impropriety if not the genuine brutality. of such remark on that occasion, 1t seems that a man of MT. Taft's experience and intelligence would have had better sense than to say anything that must necessarily be offensive to his own party and his own following.
 We know that both Mir. Taft and his friends say in his defence that 1t Is always right and proper to tell the truth, and that nothing is to be gained by trying to minimize or gloss over the failings of a prominent man. They even go SO far as to say that uncover ing his early follies and failings only adds to the brightness of his later career. but that is a poor argument

PACKERS HARD HIT.
Meat Business in England Fails on
 Greatly

HAGAA 0uSAACS8 AA AmBAAUu E1AAA Om
 Greatly.
 London Cable to N. Y. Times.
 Edward Morris of the Chicago pack ing firm of Nelson Morris & Sons. speaking to your correspondent here. said:
 "It Is no use denying that the busi- ness of American packers in England has received blow from which 1t will take years to recover. This is specially true of the refrigerated meat trade We ind ourselves at present confront ed by dangerous competition from South American packers, who, owing to the cheaper price of corn and con- sequently of cheaper cattle, are able to ship to England cheaper than We can from the United States. The Algher price of corn and tDe money stringency in the States during the past year are largely responsible for the condition we find ourselves in |. Owing to these circumstances the farm CTS did not feel justified m feeding their cattle. and the higher prices at which we are now compelled to sell our beef Is due to the limited supply.
 T do not mind saying, however, that I attribute in general and to timed goods in particular to the drastic ac- tion of the President, and that the re- cent reshipment of timed beef from England back to America was really made more from the opportunity of gracefully withdrawing large unsaiable supplies than from any real need of calling on the resources of onr Eng fish storehouses for American consump- tion.
 "Yes. American packers. if they are ever to regain the trade lost here, will do so at the expense of years of effort Moreover. if we hope to accomplish the task we must have the cooperation and not the opposition of our home in- terests and the Government. We have got to remember that the English are a conservative people, and when once lost as customers. 1t is very hard to get them back.
