STANDARD OIL IS
OWNED BY $500
Government Files List Of Holders
Largest Holdings Held BY Seven
Known as standard Group

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 9.-The gov
eminent today met the claim OF the
Standard oil Co. that II has been own
ed by one group OF men continuously
by filing a list OF $500 shareholders OF
the corporations stock. These stock
holders are scattered throughout the
country. The larger interests are held
by the seven men known as the
Standard group" but MANY others
have holdings varying from 10 TO 500
shares each at a market value OF 5000
apiece.
The largest holdings are by the
Rockefellers. John ID. and William.
who have respectively 247.69O and
l1.700 shares: H. NJ. Flagler, 10000;
II. II. Rogers, 1920. and John ID.
Archbold. 5000. Four women In tho
Hartman family own $50 shares, a
mere trifle OF about 100000.
John d. Rockefeller. Jr.. OF Bible
class fame, has a modest holding OF
l20 shares. or 100000. The stock pays
"a per cent per annum. This stock Is
small part OF John ID. Rockefellers
wealth In stocks that have grown out
of the original investment. II repre-
sents only that which he holds In the
New Jersey corporation. With respect
to its ratio 10 the total OF 9SS,3SS
shares. John d. has an interest In ev-
erything else owned by the principal
corporation. This includes the Ma
tional City Bank. Of New York; Stand
ard oil pipe lines. railroads, rehneries,
lands. cooperages and other interests
valued at many times the value OF the
New Jersey corporation.
The list is filed to disprove the con
tention OF the defense that the mer'
ger Of the capital invested was simply
a uniting of the separate ownership OF
the Standard group into q closer
Organization. BY this list the govern.
ment claim to prove that through its
manipulations the Standard has d.
verified many millions Of dollars out OF
competitive channels into a combina'
ton In restraint Of trade.
Attorney Moritz Rosenthal recovered
from his sudden illness and will ad
dress the court today. But one other
speech. that OF Attorney John G. John
son. of Philadelphia. is to be made for
the defense. Special Counsel kellogg
expects 10 make a final argument In
rebuttal tomorrow after which the
court will adjourn to read the evil
dence. This will require at least two
months. A decision is not expected
before the latter part Of June. An ap-
peal will follow and the case get 10
the United states supreme court about
October or November. Already both
sides are perfecting their records for
the appeal.

PEOPLE SACRIFICE CHRIST
OR OWN WILL ON CROSS DAILY
Bishop Williams Gives Last Of lenten
Addresses Before Bio
Audience.

Inc Gross was the subject dis
cussed by the Ri. Rev. Charles d. Will
liams In the closing MONDAY Lenten
service in the Detroit opera house, Fri.
day, before the largest audience of the
five weeks during which these meet
ings have been held.
The bishop said that the cross domi.
mates Christian theology. and inquired
what was the meaning Of IT, The
cross" he said, often appeals to US
only in an objective way. but that
part has been overdone in Cur popular
theology and In our popular preaching.
II has been a substitute for Christian
life instead of an inspiration thereto.
That sort OF preaching has made re-
ligion eliminate, has made II senti-
mental, has substituted the passive &C.
ceptance OF the cross for salvation. fo-
the heroic call to duty. to life and 10
love- We cling to the cross Of Jesus,
instead of shouldering our own cross"
Bishop Williams declared that the
popular conception Of the cross, OBJ
tanned often from the picture OF the
Rock of Ages" in which a female
figure in white garments. clinging to a
cross rising out Of storm-tossed sea.
was not the true conception; that each
person was obliged to bear his own
cross.
Jesus first laid His GROSS on His
followers before He hung on 1t Him.
SELF" he continued.
"The cross, what is Il? Shall we
say 1t Is the thing we cannot escape,
the thing that IL inevitable. the thing
that Gods providence puts on US? No.
that Is never your cross. Your cross
is the thing you might escape II you
would. 1t 10 the thing you have vol
unfairly taken up. the burden you
have put on your own shoulders. II Is
put there by no providence OF God.
You take II up yourself in order that
YOU may follow Christ, In order that
you may be true TO His Ideals.
Suppose the business man tried 10
live strictly by the rule OF Jesus. Do
YOU think there would be no diminu-
ton OF profits? My brother employee,
suppose you tried to follow the golden
rule. do you suppose there would be
no sacrifices to make? And In taking
high rents for poor tenements. sa-
looms and perhaps brothels. do you
suppose there would be no sacrifice TO
make II you followed strictly the
golden rule? Then, take the woman
in society, with its shams and It's
hypocrisy, do you suppose there would
be no difficulties for her II she tried
10 live a sincere life? II you would
follow Jesus. you must take up the
cross.
There are two lives In every one
of us. One is continually clamoring.
4 want and the other Is whispering,
4 ought There Is your cross and on
that cross every day you are either
sacrificing Christ that you may live FOR
the world, the flesh and the devil, or
YOU are sacrificing your will that you
NAV live according TO the Will OF
God

ALDR|CH IS BEHIND
REAL TARIFF BILL
Senator La Toilette, in Magazine,
Says Statesman Is Making Measure
For Special Interests.

MADISON. Wis. April 9.-"The
Boss and His Associates " is the title
OF an attack on United States Senator
Aldrich and his attitude towards the
tariff legislation In this weeks number
OF La Follette's weekly magazine TO
be issued tomorrow. The article de-
clares that the real tariff bill" Is not
the one being discussed In the house,
but the one that is being worked out
by Aldrich in the senate. The article
continues:
Judging by the manner OF its
making the Aldrich tariff bill will be
worse bill and bigger bill for the
ultimate consumer than even the
Payne bill, which the house rs to be-
forced 10 swallow merely as pre-
liminary dose of tariff revision by the
system
This real tariff bill Is being wrought
out behind the closed mahogany doors
OF Boss Aldrich's sumptuous com
mittee room. II Is being done prac.
tically in secret by the boss and his
associates. They have the assistance
OF some officials from the customs Of
fice In New York. Also they have the

mo, gentle reader, these are not
public hearings such as were held In
the house committee on ways and
means"
at is clear from remarks Of Boss
Aldrich as they stand in the printed
page OF the Record that what is said
and done behind those big, dark doors
Is not for us, the public, to know
What transpires is strictly between
the boss and his associates and rep
resentatives of the interests who ap
pear and hold these private CONVEX
sations'
"Of course he (Aldrich) Is shocked
at the suggestion that the minority
members be allowed to be present and
TO determine for themselves what
would be valuable to them. You see
this proceeding is a series OF private
conversations, just such as you might
have with your mother upon the
tariff-only different"

Another shot was taken at oil to-
day. The ways and means committee
had printed in the record a list OF ar
ticles on which the maximum tariff

other countries. At a meeting Of the
committee today IL was decided to
recommend that oil be stricken from
that list. Payne brought no this mat.

into law, would be tsat no tarin could

form OF a motion that the house re-
commit the bill to the committee on

alterations in the bill:
