MORLEY LOVES BOOK.

John Morley, the British secretary OF
state for India, who has just celebrated
his siXty-ninth birthday, has never dis
guised the fact that he has a greater
love for literature than for politics To
BE surrounded by boo Ks is his ideal OF
happiness, for, apart from his extensive
library. he has no amusements. He is
a capital walker, however. and for his
age a remarkably active man. IN ap-
Pearance he strikes one more as an
elderly musician or actor than a states
man, his rather sharp, clean-shaven
features and long. irOn-gray hair being
typical OF one or two Of the prominent
lights in those professions.

OIL TRUST CAPITAL
NAY Be SEETUPLED
Standards Officers Deny
Report Based on Stock
Movement.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Angered by
the persistent prosecution on the part
Of the Federal Government, and believ-
ing there Is no longer any protection
IN conservatism, the Standard OF Com
pany Of New Jersey, will. il is now re-
ported on apparently good authority. in
crease its capital stock TO $500 10000 by
the declaration Of a stock dividend of
500 100000.
In the Office Of the Standard Oh Com
pany the report is pronounced untrue.
Standard OIL officers say that IL prob
ably arises from the fact that stock
of the company has had d sharp ad-
vance recently and is now selling at a
market quotation of more than $780,
100000
In the panic last year the stock fell
TO $50. II sold today as high as Ga,
showing an increase Of S224 100000 In
market value
Those who look for technical reasons
for the movements in stocks have been
considering the advance in Standard oil
as purely manipulatIve and intended 20
make the stock more valuable as a
collateral IN banks. The public does
not deal in It 10 any extent. and Il can
be advanced on limited transactions.
With the stock at ia in the open
market, Standard Oil insiders can Dor
row S2oo.0oo,oJJ on their shares more
easily than they could when IL was al
$50. and they are operating very heavily
in the stock market Just now.
Another report IN connection with the
Standard OIL is that il will be resolved
into its original and individual co-o-
panies. the stock OF these companies
being distributed pro rata among the
shareholders Of the parent concern.
Evidence of-this intention is alleged 10
be found in the fact hat the capitalize
ton Of some Of the underlying com
panies recently has been increased.
