STANDARD OIL KING is WRIT

WORK"
Nc NEVER HARMED ANYONE
Did Not Crush Competitors, Nor

Always Acted in Truly Holy Man
ner-Somc Platitudes.

NEW YORK, Sept. A-John d.
Rockefeller appears for the first time
In the role Of an author In a series Of
articles on Some Random Reminis-
ccnccs Of Men and Events the FIRST
Of which will appear on Friday ia
the October issue Of "Thc Worlds
Work"
| Mr.. Rockefeller gives as a reason
for speaking now, that III tenth Of
the things that have been said are true
then dozens Of able and faithful men
who have been associatd with me,
many Of whom have passed away,
must have been guilty OF grave faults.
For myself, had decided TO say no.
thing, hoping that after my death the
truth would gradually come to the
surface and posIerity would do strict
justice; but while ! live and can tes-
tify to certain things it seems fair
that should refer to some points
which | hope will help to set forth
several much discussed happenings
in a new light | am convinced that
they have not ben ss;=:lly understood
1T has been said that forced the
men who became my partners in the
oil business to join with me. | would
mot have been SO short sighted. RI II
we're true that ] followed such tactics,
! ask, would il have been possible to
make of such men life long compan-
ionsY
Mr.. Rockefeller speaks Of the de-
Felopment Of the Standard Oil Com
pany and says that the plan OF selling
direct to the consumer and the ex-
ceptionally rapid growth Of the busi-
ness" bred certain antogonism
which I-suppose could not have been
avoided"
Of the direct selling to the consu-
mers he says:
This was done in a fair spirit and
with the consideration for everyone's
rights. We did not ruthlessiy go af-
ter the trade Of our competitors and
attempt to ruin it by cutting prices or
instituting spy system"
II any Of the employees OF the COM
pany were oyerzealous in going af-
ter sales, he says that they acted in
violation OF expressed and known wish
es of the company. Mr.. Rockefeller
says that in the early days Of the oil
industry IT was considered most haz-
ardous undertaking not altogether un-
like the speculative mining undertak-
ings we hear so much Of to-day.
None Of us" he says" ever dreamed
OF the magnitude of what proved to
be the latter expansion"
Further on he says:
Another thing to be remembered
about the so-called "Octupus' is that
there has been no water introduced
into the capital perhaps, we felt that
oil and water would not have mixed
nor in all these years has anyone had
TO wait for money which the Standard
owed, 1t is common thing to hear
people say that this company has
crushed competitors. Only the unin-
formed could make such an assertion.
It has had and always has had an al
ways will have hundreds of active
competitors.
The Standard has not now and
never did have royal road to SUI
premacy nor is its success due to

To a San Francisco paper, Lieutenant
AnOlphus Andrews, who returned
from the Asiatic station on the Mp

several days ago, is to become rival
Of the Duke Of the AbruZZi for the
hand of Miss Katherine Elkins.
Lieut.. X. r. Riggs, who is in THE
city, was stationed with the Asiatic
squadron and occasionally met An
drews. Asked Of the report he said
About two years ago Lieutenant
Andrews. was suddenly ordered to
leave Washington and join the cruiser
Chattanooga at Alexandria. He took
a steamer and reported on the cruiser,
and upon his arrival in Asiatic waters
vas ordered to the General VILLA
lobOs
1T was current rumor that Lieu
tenant Andrews was engaged to Miss
Elkins at one time and that he was
sent out TO Asiatic waters for private
reasons. This report the officer would
not dfgcuss,y but once or twice he said
be was stationed away from home at
his, own request.
Lieutenant Andrews was, -On the
pl esident's staff before he left Wash
iDgton, and had what is generally re-
sarded in naval circles as an enviable
post. He left Washington almost the
same day he received orders to join
the Chattanooga. Those orders were
the subject of much discussion"
According to the paper publishing

Jacksonville, Fla, April 10.-The

troops will be held next month. The
invitation of the War Department 10

Uf the objections which have been
made to holding these exercises i'm
October, as was done last year, the
" az Department has consented to fiz;
an earlier date. May has been decid-
ell upon as being the most favorable
season, both on account of climatic
conditions and because it is believed
that the officers and enlisted men can
be spared from their civil pursuits
better at that time than during the
fall months.
1t was originally intended to hold a
state encampment this year at the
rev camp site near Jacksonville, but
many causes have contributed to de-
lay and the grounds are not yet ready.
= force of men has been employed for
three months in making the prelimi-
l:ary surveys, clearing the camp sites.
etc. but there remains a great deal TO
be done and il is the view of the
members of the state armOry board
that the new ground should not be
Used until they are entirely ready, AMI
that it would be unWiSe to attempt to

WAS JURYMAN
TAMPERED With ?
(Ry Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-The
jury in the case of John J. Tansey
who has been tried for the murder
of Policeman Edward j. Mccartney
September 8, after celebrating since
midnight Wednesday, failed to agree
on verdict and was discharged by
Judge Cook tonight. Policeman Nc
Cartney was shot to death during an
alteration with Tansey after he had
ordered Tansey to go home early in
the morning. After the failure Of
the jury to agree had been announced
the assistant district attorney made
open charges against B. Cotton, the
only member of the jury that stood
out for acquittal, that he had been
tampered with and threatened to
cause his arrest. Cotton, who is a
merchant, stoutly denied that he had
been approached on behalf of the ac-
cused man. 1t was announced that
the case would be retired at once.
