It was admitted at the Office Of the
Hegeman Company that several OF
the Standard Oil men had as individ-
uals invested in the corporation. Its
president Is John H. Flagler.
According to Samuel Childs, vice.
president of the Childs Restaurant

! ports that the Standard group had In

leading confectionery companies, and
one of them has within the last week
sent out circular to the trade ex-
plicitly stating that there has been no
change whatever in the management.
G. r. White, assistant treasurer,
who has an Office on the fourteenth
floor. was asked If there were any
truth in the report that the Standard
Oil Company was becoming extensive
ly interested in outside ventures.
"That is not the fact" was his en-
phatic reply. &
Mr.. White referred to the various
glucose companies as being under the
control of men also affiliated with
Standard Oil and to the National
Starch Company IS subsidiary cor
poration of the Corn Products Com
pany.
AS to the Investment Department
which the officials and stockholders
of the Standard find so useful, he said
that If there was such thing it was

AMERICA
FRIENDLY
To CHINA

New York, July 22.-That aggres-
siveness will mark the policy of the
United States in the Orient Is appar-
ent today from the statements at
tributed to Charles r. Crane, of Chi
cago. who has been appointed re-
Gently minister to China by Presi-
dent Taft. In an interview with a
local banker, Crane is reported to
have said:
This nation does not propose to
allow any other power to become a
commercial dictator in the Far East
This nation will Insist on the strict
enforcement Of the open door policy
and I am certain that President Taft
desires that America shall become a
powerful factor In the orient.
"The interest OF the government
at Washington and Pekin's knowl-
edge that our friendship is not
prompted by desire for financial
gain, should certainly have tend
ency 10 add impetus to the cam
paign that is now being made by the
Chinese government to extend and
develop the empires domestic and
foreign commerce"
The New Yorker then went on
say: America has at last awakened
to the vast possibilities for invest
ment In the Orient ana the selection
OF Mr. Crane is the best that could
be made for the opening of the cam
paign we intend TO make. Mr. Crane
elbows great interest in his new work
and is alive TO the situation. He re-
allies that the coming year will mark
an epoch in China, and in relations
OF America with that country"
