Ss.ExAMiNATloN OF JOHN D.
ROCKEFELLER IN SUIT TO
DISSOLVE THE COMPANY.

New York.-For over five hours Fri.
day John d. Rockefeller, witness for
the defense in the government suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
faced an unceasing fire of questions
from the federal counsel Frank b.
Kellogg, and wnen adjournment was
taken until Monday, the head of the
oil combine was still being cross-ex-
aminei on the charge that the COM
pany in its early days accepted rebates
to the disadvantage of its rivals.
The enormous earning power of the
oil combination was sharply brought
out in Fridays hearing when Mr. Rock
efeller, after stating that the Stand
ard OIL had paid dividends amounting
to $4O.0OO.OOO in 1907, said 1t had
earned as much more and that this
was added TO the company's surplus,
which was stated by the governments
counsel to be $3O0.000.00O.
1t was further declared by Mr.. Kel-
logg that the company within the last
eight years had earned nearly half a
billion dollars.
Rockefeller was forced to explain in
detail rebate agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railway Company in
1877. At this time the company was
engaged In crushing out competition
by purchase, by secret agreements
like the one with the Pennsylvania,
and BY other methods.
The oil kings most astonishing ad-
mission in this connection was that
the infant trust was not only paid n
rebate OF 20 cents a barrel on rs own
shipments, but rebate on the ship.
ments OF oil by independents.
The trust made another agreement
by which II gained control of the Erie
and New York Central terminals and
compelled the independents TO pay
warehouse charges fixed by the Stand
ard. The oil king pleaded that the
charges were fair.
1t also dictated the freight rates to
be charged Its rivals.
Rockefeller admitted that the trust
had received rebates through an
agreement entered into by the South
improvement Company, Standard
subsidiary. The witness declared that
this agreement was open TO all trans
porters OF refined oil. but when asked
whether the independents were In.
formed OF the agreement. he replied:
u could not say"
Latr he admitted that precautions
were taken to keep the agreement Sc.
cret.
In response TO questions about the
hazardous nature OF the oil business.
owing TO the possibility of failure OF
supply. Rockefeller said that the pro-
duction OF crude oil In the Pennsyl-
vania field had steadily increased from
1862 to 1900.
