COM. OAHriELO’# REPORT. (Continued ‘from Page One.) details. I beg to Invite your attenttoi to the following summary of Us mon prominent features. The manufacture of refined oil, com inonly known as -kerosene is abou i?.000,000 barrels annually, of whicl the Standard Oil Company directly am Indirectly controls about 23.000,000. I also oontrols approximately the sam proportion- of the other finished pro ductr of petroleum. Th the Bureau, and of course there ma> be other secret rales which the Bureau has not discovered. This amount rep resents the difference between the open rates and the rates actually paid Many of these discriminations were clearly In violation of the Interstate commerce law, and others, whether technically Illegal or not, had the same effect upon cennpetitors. On some State business secret rates were ap plied by means of rebates. These discriminations have been sc long continued, so secret, so Ingenious ly applied to new conditions of trade, and so large In amount as to make it were uue to con certed action by the Standard and the railroads. Slardard 011 Company is re ratVs discriminations in open The published rate* from the leadlne Standard shipping point* are relatively much lower than rates from the ship ping points of Its competitors. ThfName of'contestant must be put on vote before sending In.) 1 i ins to prorate, virtually kept Inde pendent refiners from using al. r-.ll ^utes The refusal to prorate increased the rail rates from the West from S to 10 c^ts per hundred pounds These railroads do prorate on all other com modities; their refusal to do so in the •■ase of oil amounted to imposing a substantial tax on all consumers in the region they cover, and is also a heavy discrimination against the smaller re The Standard Oil Co. has been abfe to absolutely control for many 1 years the sale of oil ill the northeast ern part of New York and in a portion of Vermont by means of secret rates Irom its refineries at Oleati and Roch ester. The Pennsylvania Railroad has given the Standard a rate of 9 cents a barrel from Olean, N. Y.. to Rochester, while the independent refineries situated in territory adjacent to Olean were given a rate of 3t> cents a barrel. By means of tills 9-cer.t rate, in combination with a rate from Rochester to Norwood, N. Y.. a virtually secret and very low rate from Norwood. N. Y.. to Burlington, and secret local rates therefrom, the Standard has been able to supply cen tral and northern Vermont with oil at a rate of from lf> to 21 cents per hun dred pounds, whereas no independent refiner could reach tfirt territory from western Pennsylvania save by a. rate varying from 2.1 to HO cents per hundred pounds. Tiie saving to the Standard during 190-1 by the secret rate from Olean to Rochester alone was $115,000. This and other less important rates from th an were unknown to the independent re finers end were not published on the ground that they were wholly iftiite rates; yet in fact they were used for oily consigned to points beyond the state boundary of New York. Fuithcr raore. all the shipments from i Mean on these secret rates were blind-bille 1— 1. e.. the rates wore not shown on ilie waybills. (3) The Standard Oil Company lias maintained absolute control i f ^lm . The railroads have advanced their published rates from Whiting into north a* Indiana and Michigan by about 2 or .1 c* nts per hundred pounds, and have put th** rates !i prac-t Tally an equality, dis tant e considered, with those from Tole do and more easterly points. 7. The New York. New Haven Hart ford Railroad has resumed the practice of prorating on oil. thereby reducing the average freight charge to independent re finers of western Pennsylvania and Ohio on shipments into i large part of Con necticut, Rhode Island and Massachu setts, bv about fc cents per 100 pounds. This will materially increase their oppor tunity for competition with the Standard Oil Company in that territory. The Inter state commerce commission recently de nounced the former practice and recom mended a change. s. A large number of the secret rates of California railroads have been pub lished as open rates. While under th*1 contract system of selling fuel o l gener ally employed in that region th** concerm formerly enjoying the secret rates con tinu t** benefit from them, this revision of tariffs obviously operates to the bene fit of independent shippers on future bus iness. A number of discrepancies in open r.ites on the Pacific coast have also been adjusted. The manges above described, with oth ers ol less importance, mean much more than the increase of freight charges to the Standard. They show in striking fashion the good which has already re suit. 1 from this investigation. They put independents upon a fairer looting and make competition possible in territories heretofore inaccessible. Nevertheless, the widespread discrimi nations In open rates •dill in force leave the independents at serious disadvantage. The investigation has only incidentally touched state shipments from distributing centers, particularly in less than carloads. The few instances examined suggest th*j probability of discriminations on such shipments which, taken in connection with through traffic, may result in dis criminations on interstate business. I have cited these particular Instances to show the various methods by which discriminations are obtained, and to call particular attention to methods which, if legal, are mere devices to obtain exact lv the same result as would be obtained liv rebates paid on interstate business. Any freight discrimination, whether It he state or interstate, tends to give control ot markets to the preferred shipper, and makes monopoly possible. If xisting law pie rely prohibits a special device for ob taining discrimination, and permits the same result to be accomplished in *'t dif ferent way. then the legislation is to that extent a sham. This investigation has shown very Dr. GREENE’S NERVURA HAS CURED THOUSANDS AND WILL CURE YOU. This marvelous remedy is beyond all question the greatest medical discovery of the century.

'-’ommissioner ot Corpoiatlons. Tlic President. Commissioner Garfield said: “The general result of the investiga tion lias been to disclose the existence of numerous and flagrant discrimina tions by the railroads in behalf of the Standard Oil Company and its affiliated corporations. With comparatively few exceptions, mainly of other large con cerns in California, the Standard lias been the sole beneficiary of such dis criminations. in almost every section of the country that company has been found to enjoy some unfair advantages over its competitors, and some of these discriminations affect enormous areas. "Discriminations in the transporta tion of oil embrace a variety of forms, the most important of which may be classed under the following heads: "1 fciecret and semi-aeoret rates. “2—Discriminations in the open ar rangement of rates. •^Discriminations In classification and rules of shipment. "4—Discriminations in treatment of private tank cars.'1 Many of the secret rates discovered by the bureau of corporations have ap plied only on shipments of oil wholly within single states. The Standard Oil Company which controls refineries in 12 states, is obviously in a position to make extensive use of such Inter-state rates, or as they are ordinarily desig nated state rates. For iiie purpose of more effectually concealing the secret rates given to the Standard Oil Company, railroads in several important eases have used peculiar methods ot billing and ac counting. In some cases, oil has been "blind billed," that is to say. the waybills have been made out showing the kind of product transported and its weight, but without showing as in the usual custom, any freight rale or the amount of freight charged. In such instances, tlie collection of freight is ordinarily made, not by the local agent of the rail road, but through the central ottlee, by the presentation to the .-standard of a summary bill showing the amount of freight charged at secret rate. Local agents often do not know what tlie actual rates used on blind bills are. An especially large number of secret rates and rebates in the traimportation of oil was found in California. In all more than SO distinct violations of tar iffs in oil were discovered in this state, tlie total concession to shippers anil consignees under tlie rates as contapred w itli tlie publihed tariffs may lie safely estimated al about $200. Ooo per year, of which amount about $100,000 went to the Standard. The commle.-iioner under the head of possibility of further discriminations says: “it seems wholly possible that there may exist a multitude of other dis criminations, effected by secret rates or even by rebates, of great aggregate importance, involved in the local dis tribution of oil, especially in less than carload lots. The Standard Oil Com pany ships enormous quantities of oil in less titan carload lots, and although the distance involved in such cases are usually comparatively short, tlie amount of freight charged under the high rates wtiich prevail on such busi ness under regular tariffs would be very great and the possibilities of de parture front these charges extensive. “It Is perfectly clear that tile dis tinction between the rebates and the secret rate is merely one of account ing.” Regarding discrimination in the open arrangement of rates, Commissioner Garfield declares: "Different methods are used in dif ferent places and under different con ditions but the net result Is that from Maine to California the general ar rangement of open rates on petroleum oil is such as to give the Standard an unreasonable advantage over its com petitors. "Tile conclusion is unavoidable that the Standard oil Co., lias had an im portant voice in the construction of such rates anil this conclusion is sup ported by specific evidence developed by the investigation.” in many cases he says, there are tin reasonable differences between t lie rates on oil in carloads and in less than carloads. No charges that dis crimination is practiced in some in stances in the treatment of private tank cars. On this point lie says: "In most sections of the country all refiners operating tank cars of their own receive equal treatment in re spect to the mileage allowance. On the Pacific coast, however, most inde pendent refiners receive but six-tenths cent per mile and this on the loaded movement only. An exception is made where the haul exceeds 800 miles in which case three-fourths cent per mile is allowed on the excess mileage over that distance but again on the loaded movement only. The Union Tank Line Company and the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.,—also a Standard concern—are the only oil companies operating tank cars on the lines of the Southern Pacific Company and the Santa Fe, on the Pacific coast, which receive three fourths cent per mile on both loaded and empty cars. “Similar discriminations in the mile age allowance are practiced by some of the trans-continental system traversing the Northwestern states. The advantages of the Standard Oil Company would alone give it a highly favorable position in the oil industry. To a certain extent, a natural policy of railroads would be to neutralize the advantages by giving favorable rates to the smaller refiner. ‘The Standard Oil Company, through its pipe lines and its fleets of oil car rying vessels, is an active and power ful competitor of the railroads. Kx cept in the Texas and California fields, it has already taken the transportation of crude oil, almost'wholly away from rail carriers. “The general policy of the railroads with regard to other freight traffic has We have nothing to conceal!

The Chicago and St. Louis express was sent west from Huntington *»n the cut-off and the two trains met at Springfield Junction, where there is but one track. The cause of the disaster is said to have been a misunderstanding of orders by the operator at Springfield Junction. Physi cians have been sent from Altoona. The railroad officials at Huntington and Wil linmshurg have received a report that both locomotives, the express and mail cars and passenger roaches are complete ly demolished. One of the trains was running reversed, -with the coach next t the engine. Twenty-five passengers were In this coach and it is reported that all are either dead or wounded. The railroad officials say it will he im possible to tell the exact details of tin accident until morning, as several people are pinned under the .wreckage. It is fear ed that the number of dead will exceed the fust estimat**, reaching possibly eight or 10.

Women in Our Hospitals Appalling Increases in the Number of Operations Performed Each Year—How Women May Avoid Them. Going1 through the hospitals in our large-cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations. Why should this be the ease? Sim ply because they have neglected them selves.

After climbing to the very edge of the crater of Vesuvius before It had fairly ceased belching forth death and destruction, he made a visit to Paris when the army was fighting strikers and rioters and when the whole city was in confusion. Most men In the king business feel that it is hardly necessary for them to go out looking for trouble like that. The people of Ohio elected a Demo cratic governor last fall whose slogan was economy. He made all sorts of promises about the great things he would accamplish in cutting down state expenses. Yet the total of the appropriation bills to which he has put his signature exceeds the total of the previous year by $l.2r>0.000. It was the usual difference between Democratic promise and performance, between Democratic preaching and practice. The full st ore of the Olympic games emphasizes the victory of our little band of American boy's who maile the long voyage in quest of laurel wreaths anti glory. The championship in the great meet is won by the United States with a score of 7:»'/2 |toints. Second place is won by Kngland, counting Ireland, Scotland. Australia ami Canada, with ".G points; Greece stands third with 071^ points; Sweden is fourth with 2G points; Hungary is fifth with IS points; Austria is sixth with 12 points, and the list is closed tints: Germany, 7 2-3; Finland, G; France, r. 1-S; Italy. 3, and Belgium, 1. Thus the Failed States won over 3f> per cent, of the possible points in the competitions, a record which will challenge the ad miration of tile world.

Maryland is just starting in to col lect a debt of $72,000 which it claims Uncle Sam has owed it for 11G years. Tlte money was advanced in 175*41 to assist in building the original capital at Washington. Maryland has been very slow in reminding Uncle Sam of his little obligation, but if it is per sistent enough it will probably get its money back by tbe time another cen tury has passed. It appears that at the same time Virginia loaned the na tional government $120,000 lint it is not stated whether this lias been paid book or not. Presumably not, though It does not appear that Virginia Is after the money in the manner that Maty land Is after hers. These facts seem odd reading nowadays, blit a century ago the States had more ready easli that the federal government. and everything about the latter was new. even Its credit. Aggressive baseball is one thinganti It is the kind that wins games, but rowdy baseball is another thing and i, is the kind that hurts the great na tional sport. The ehtintpion New York nine, .led by the famous •’Mtlgsy" Me (•raw, is starting out to beat all rwe ords for nntekerisni on tlte diamond. J.ess than 20 games have been played but in three of them Melitaw lias been put Off the.Held after bis vile language and ..Ittet had tried tin tnueh-titduilng umpire to the limit.

Me Gtavr, Metlitnrt and llresnulian all welt I put oil' the field in one game in Boston Melitaw refused to go. but finally left Under duress. That sort of thing hurts the game.

Among the Unsslan there were 000 immigrants with than $50, and ll.ooo with less; j r„ Poles had more than $;.0, 82.000 had liU Chicago and San Francisco. The SpriiiRfield Republican draws an interesting parallel between the situa tion of Chicago alter the lire of lSil and that in which San Francisco finds itself at the present time. From the best figures available it places the Chicago property losses at the con st r\at ive figure of $17.r*.00C,(MM). and those of San Francisco at $300,000,000: Chicago. Son Francisco.

Jlut tlie San Francisco account of as sislance rendered is not yet made up. The insurance may exceed $150,000,000. Chicago, at the end of a month, had received $:i.r,00.000 from voluntary con tributions, and the final report of its relief committee showed the receipt from that source of about $5,000,000. If at ihe end of two weeks, as calculated. $_>0,0ou.000 has been contributed by in dividuals for San Francisco, the fund may run to $30,000,000 or over—though this scheme lo bring the government credit in to a large extent is calculated lo dry up Ihe fountain of individual giving very quickly. Chicago had much less of tin destroyed wealtli to start in with after 'he fire than the California metropolis now has, and it may be safely assert ed that it had a greater net loss lo con tend against. But it proved its ability to go ahead, and at a pace to amaze lne world, without government help or ioan; and San Francisco, whose sources ot help outside of the I’nited States government are by no means exhaust ed as yet, can and will make a similar demonstration of resistless energy and boundless hope and enterprise. Germans in South America. For it long time tin* bugaboo of the German colonization of South America has been held up before the people of this country. Alarmists have told us that the German government was secretly sending great numbers of its subjects to South America with the object of gaining a foothold there for the ambitious K.aisar. They have pic tured South America as a German colony in the near future, the Monroe dm trine fractured beyond hope of re pair and this country itself in danger of a German invasion from tin- south. Of course, all this lias been folly of the most foolish kind, but the alarm has doubtless disturbed many good Ameri can citizens. In the May number of the Not th American Review Baron yon Sternbmg, the German ambassador at Washington, frankly discusses litis subject. As he speaks with a full un derstanding. his arti. le will command wide attention. He gives the follow ing table of German emigration during reeettt years: United Other South States.

Bridgewater, Mass., May 4.—Artliur W. Chesterfield of New York City, wanted in Worcester. Fall River. Ever ett and many other New England cities and towns for Ills alleged connection with a series of burglaries, some time during the early part of today made a mysterious break from the Bridge water Hospital for the Criminally 1 li st n*-. Chesterfield s room was found va- cant when the attendant made his morning round. The door was locked securely and the bars at the window were intact, but there was no trace or the former occupant. None of the doors hading to the outside yard showed any signs of having been tampered with. •Surrounding the hospital is a high stone wall, supposed to be unsaleable without the aid of a ladder or rope, but nothing was found there to show how the prisoner could have got out. Fiom all these circumstances the hospital authorities thought it probable that Chesterfield must have had some as sistance from outside. Chesterfield, who is sometimes known as Thomas Finoran, is well known to the police of several New England cities. lie is supposed to have been one of a gang of five men who left New York City for a series of wholesale burglaries in New England last fall. Among this group is said to have been two young men known to the police as Howard and Carr, who made a sensa tional escape from the Charles Street jail about two months ago with the aid of saws smuggled in from the out side. Howard has since been recap tured. but Carr lias so far eluded de tection. It is claimed that Chesterfield was seen by a polio-man in Everett last fall while in the act of breaking into a dwelling. The officer gave chase and Chesterfield darted into a house and. pointing a revolver at the liousekei p i r, threatened to shoot her If she did not hide him. The frightened woman fainted and with the pursuing police I man close behind the young man was forced to flee. After a run of several blocks he was caught and placed in jail. A short time later Chesterfield was found guilty of breaking and entering and sentenced to the Charles Street jail until officers from Worcester came with writs of habeas corpus and took the prisoner to that city where he was tried on several counts of breaking and entering and sentenced to state prison. But even then Chesterfield's troubl-s were not over for, following closely upon the action of the Worcester au thorities, the Fall Rivet police served a writ of habeas corpus before the su perior court on a complaint with 11 counts of breaking and entering charg ed against him. Chesterfield pleaded guilty to two counts and volunteered information as to where some of the stolen property was found, and. It is said, also made statements implicating hia....companions. Sentence was not passed upon him at the time, such ae tlon being deferred until June and Chesterfield was taken back to the state prison at Charlestown. Chesterfield's stay in tin- state prison was not of long duration, however, for he soon began to act strangely, lie was examined for his sanity and upon the report of the alienists was sent to the Bridgewater hospital for the criminal ly insane. Here, the hospital authorities say, his general health improved and he gave little trouble, but still had hallucinations that lie was being per secuted. At the hospital today the following description was given of the missing man: Aged 22 years, height f> feet, 7 Inches, weight 171 pounds. He had brown hair and blue eyes and when the institution's attendants last saw him he wore the regulation hospital gar ments of reddish brown with a brown striped shirt and slippers. At the base of liis right thumb was a small dot of Indelible India ink and a heart pierced with a dagger was tattooed on his right foreatm. At the base of liis left thumb was a small five-pointed star and there was a vaccination scar oil liis left min. REFUSED ADMISSION. District Attorney Keeps Muenter’s Counsel Away from Inquest. Cambridge. Mass.. May 4.—City So liritoi G. A. A. Pevey, counsel for Erich .M urn tor. was resused admission Friday to the secret inquest opened at the Third District court into the death of Mrs. Deoil Muenter, who died re cently here under mysterious circum stances. Lawyer Povey made a request ot Judge Aliny to bo permitted to be present at the proceedings, but the judge ruled this was a question for the district attorney to pass upon. District Attorney Sanderson held that as the inquest was purely a gov ernment inquiry to determine die cause of death and not a trial of any one per son. counsel for Muenter had no right to attend. The first three witnesses to enter the court room were Prof. Whit ney of Harvard, who reported to the police that Mrs. Muenter had died of arsenical poisoning. Dr. Herbert McIn tyre and Dr. F. W. Taylor, both of whom attended Mrs. Muenter in her last illness and whose suspicions were aroused on account of certain condi tions found with the patient. No word from Muenter was received Friday and the police were as ignorant of tlie man's whereabouts as ivf \sylum Lodge and all visiting Odd Fellows in the rity meet at tile lodge -oom at 9.15 A. M.

The igent urged on Hit members the net t s iity of purchasing none but union la id garments, showing they were made jnder sanitary eonditions. Tile union voted to endorse the label and instruct 'd tlu> members to purchase in the fu ture none but garments bearing tin label of the garment workers. They ilso voted to tlo all in their power t have the retail clothing dealers handle none but garments and mechanics’ vlothing bearing the union label. The agent will visit Gardiner and Hallowell in the interest of the organ ization lie represents during his sta; here. The Outlet. J. W.
