FOrcibly Blames Railroads

Stock Values
Says Their Attempts to Ghost
Legislatures Is Cause
Of Trouble

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 22.-The app
pearance of William Jennings Bryan
here tonight was made the occasion
for one of the greatest gatherings
ever held in Kansas. 1t is estimated
that 1900 banqueters sat down to-
night at long tables in the City Audi
torium. The balcony was packed
with visitors and those who did not
secure banquet tickets. Mr.. Bryan
made brief speech on his arrival at
the hotel about six o'clock.
In his after banquet speech Mr..
Bryan assailed the position taken by
the railroad leaders of the country
that hostile legislation is today re-
sponsible for the depressed condition
in railroad affairs.
He declared vehemently, the finan-
cial troubles are not due to state
legislation. But conditions are due
to exaggerations and misrepresenta-
lions which railroad men of the coun-
try presented when trying to intimi-
date the state legislation. They rep
resented time and again that reduc-
lions of passenger rates would bank
rupt railroads. The misstatements
which these railroads made to the
legislatures, both state and national
had more to do with the reduction
of stock values than the rate regula-
lions have.
Mr.. Bryan also found reason for the
recent financial troubles in wateret

Rockefeller Tells Standard Oil History

The testimony of John ID. Rockefeller,
head of the Standard Oil company, given
for the defense, in the suit brought by
the government to dissolve the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, under the
allegation that it is trust, in restraint
of trade, has occupied much public atten-
tion the past week. Mr. Rockefeller.
who formerly fought shy of such affairs,
appeared this time voluntarily. He was
on the witness stand most Of five days,
and told most interesting story of the
origin, growth, methods, resources, pro-
fits, etc, of the Standard Oil.
Among other things he testified that
with few associates he began the oil
refining business at Cleveland, o., in
1862 on capital of only $4,000. He bor
rowed $4,000 from friend on the strength
OF his representations as to the business
prospect. Good fortune favored the en-
terprise from the start 1t was the con-
stant study of the concern to introduce
all the economics in management possi-
BILE, and ere long it was able to COM
mand sufficient capital to make its own
barrels, instead Of paying a. much higher
York representative who got right after
the trade. 1t enlisted practical refners
and its refneries were built along model
lines.
Finally, the original Standard Oil COM
pany was organized with capital of ST.
100000, which was very large capital
for those days. The company could bor-
row money cheaply because tinanciers
had confidence in it, and was therefore
able to outstrip its competitors in en-
larging and improving its business and
serving the public. 1t was not. long be-
fore the Standard began to acquire other
oil concerns that found it more advan-
tageous to sell than to continue, under
the existing conditions. Sometimes the
purchases were made for cash, sometimes
for stock m the Standard, which was in
creased for this purpose. Step by step
the Standard broadened its field until in
1873 when the so-called trust was form
ed, it was capitalized at $7O,OO0,0OO
As to the Standards present earnings,
Mr.. Rockefeller admitted them to be
$50 900, 900 in 1907, of which onehalf was
livided in dividends and one-half carried
o the surplus, which amounts at present
20 $3O0,000,O00. Since the company's
tart it has paid S59l, 100000 in dividends,
besides its great surplus. Yet Mr.. Rookie
eller maintained that the business was
hazardous because of the
hance that petroleum might give out
ny time. His evidence ended with the
tory only up to 1873, when the trust was
omed, so that cross examination on the
lter record was headed off.

TO THE PEOPLE OF BRATTLEBoRO
AND VICINITY.

The changes that have taken place il
the epidemic of smallpox during the past
week have been extremely satisfactory
as the following facts show.
The number of cases disinfected and
released from quarantine has been 30,
from q houses. There have been 10 new
cases outside of the quarantined places;
inside of the quarantined houses, three
cases. There are now II houses in quar-
antine, having % cases. There are FIVE
cases at the isolation hospital. OF the
whole number only a few have been Sc
we're cases. Most Of them are the mild,
modified form which has been the prevail
ing type for the last 10 or u years.
II is matter for congratulation that
the new cases this week have been so
few compared with what we had reason
TO expect from the exposures which oc-
CURED two weeks ago. However, there
must be no relaxation on the part of any
in observing and enforcing the efforts
previously advised There should be
VACCINATION of everyone who has not
been successfully vaccnated within five
wears, whether thev have been exposed
to the contagion or not.
Do not attempt to conceal any suspic-
ious case. but report all promptly. The
law provides a penalty for anv attempt
to evade by concealment or failing to re-
port.
Persons desiring to come to town on
business can do so without fear of con-
tracing smallpox.
OF the eases out side of Brattleboro one
case in Dover and the case on Dummers
ton Hill have been disinfected and re-
leased from quarantine. The case re-
ported from West Townshend was an err
ror. There have been five new cases in
Dover. one in Dummerston. one in quar-
lntined house in South Londonderry, one
n Bellows Falls and one in West Charles
on. Orleans county. These are all the
'ases. so far as reported in the state.
In behalf of the state board of health.

Much for Legislature to Do-Doe
Shooting Bill Almost Law.

Although the senate and house were in
session less than half hour Saturday
morning, nine bills were introduced in the
house and three in the senate. The bills
in the hands of the revision committee
are now nearly cleaned up and although
several committee bills will undoubtedly
be introduced in both houses after the
1 thanksgiving recess, it can be said that
the introduction of bills for this session
is practically at an end.
Governor George Fl. Prouty announced
Saturday morning the appointment Of
Frederick G. Swinnerton to succeed W..
court for two years from December
next, and of Edward H. Holden to be
Judge of Bennington municipal court to
succeed Z. L. Bates. The appointment of
John w. Redmond of Newport to be
chairman of the state board of railroad
commissioners for two years from Decem-
ber | next was also announced.
The governor has also reappointed Jud-
son +. Cushman of Burlington commits
sioner of state taxes. Mr.. Cushman has
held the office since Dec. !, 1900.
Senator Thayer introduced a bill in the
senate Saturday morning which gives the
Of the house of correction
at Rutland authority to appoint his as
sistants.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Croft of
Berkshire which provides for plurality
election of representatives to the general
on the third ballot.
When the legislature adjourned Satur
lay morning 547 bills had been intro
luced in the house and lis in the senate.
)f these the house had passed and sent
% the senate l40, had refused third
'eading to 50, had dismissed three, had
ordered to a third reading IS, leaving 80
,ills in the house committees hands.
Among these are the bills bearing ON
axation, temperance, the employers liza
'ility bill, the public service commission,
primary election and educational and |
highway bills without number. Of the |
40 bills sent to the senate, so have been |
assed, killed and the remainder are |
n the hands of the committees.
When Hale X. Darling, clerk of the
evision committee, went to his home
aturday morning he took with him from
randolph a life size sepia portrait of |
'hief Judge John w. Rowell, presented
Y him to Orange county court in honor
his 50th year of practice. 1t will be
ung in the court house at Chelsea.
The bill allowing the shooting of does
uring the open season which was passed
riday by the senate has not vet been
aced in Governor Prouty's hands and it
i'll go over until after the Thanksgiving
cess. Although strong pressure is being
-ought upon Governor Prouty to veto
lis bill it is believed he will sign it.
