IOUS METHODS USED BY
STANDARD OIL CROWD IN
IT'S DEALINGS WITH HIM.

New York City.-Frank Jay Gould
advised by his friends. has determin-

lone hand fight against the most
powerful financial influence In Ameri-
ca.
The fight which Mr.. Gould has
opened has the entire sympathy and
support Of other young and wealthy
financiers.
Mr.. Gould gave today his initial
statement regarding the action of the
Standard Oil Company. 1t follows:
The public has read often in. the
last two or three years innthe news
papers and the magazines Of the
methods used by the Standard OIL in
great business transactions involving
the public welfare. But never, I'M
til the present, have I known of my
personal knowledge that such a sys-
tenn did exist. A few days ago, be-
fore the annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Missouri Pacific Rail
way Company, a representative Of the
Standard Oil came to me and made
direct use Of these un%principled
methods toward me as a threat. I,
did not succeed because I refused to
Join with them in any deal.

what, I consider is my duty to the
public. the investors. the citizens o.
this republic. That is. I shall pub.
lish an accurate account Of the exac,
methods used by this representative

STATE CAn'TlEASE
LANDS THIS YEAR
NEW LAW PASSED AT RECENT
SESSION PERMITTING FARM
ING OF SCHOOL LANDS
TOO LATE.

Pierre. S. D.-The state land de-
partment is receiving % many in
quifies a to the rights Of lessees Of
state lands under the provisions OF
the law which provides for the cul-
tivation Of state lands, that they are
sending cut q circular letter to- all
holders of state lands under lease, as
to the rules which govern. The de-
partment will not make any agricu.-
tural leases this year. as 1t will be
impossible to get the provisions Of
the new law into practical working
shape until too late for the carrying
on Of agriculture for this year. None
o fthe present holders Of grazing and
meadow leases are given any addi-
tional rights under the provisions of
the new law, and cultivation under
the provisions of their present leases
is just as much a violation Of the
trespass laws Of the state, as IL they
had no lease at all to their tracts.
Along with the letter the department
is sending copies Of the trespass laws
as they 10Y stand, and a warning
against violation Of the same. All
leases which have been made in the
past hold just the same status as they
have had under the old law, and
there will be no change in conditions
before next year when matters will
be in shape to take up practically the
work of leasing the lands for agri-
cultural purposes, and not until
such leases have been made will it
be legal to attempt cultivation of the
lands held under lease.
