MUST TESTIFY IN SUIT NOW
ON IN MISSOURI
Rockefeller, Roger* and Plagler Sum.
moned as Witnesses in Action
to Oust the Standard
From the state
*rd Oil company Issued orders to Its
agents to undersell competitors at all
hazards. Ho asserted that upon one
occasion he wus supplied with false
gauges to be used in the attempt to
"drive the enemy from the field."
Morgan's testimony created a sensa
tion and the Standard Oil company's
attorneys offered frequent and vigorous
objections.
Morgan testified that he went Into
the employe of tho Standard Oil com
pany January 1, 1898, as a salesman.
Soon after he was made a resident
manager of the company, with head
quarters at Sedalla. In his Jurisdiction
was included Randolph, Sheridan, How
ard, Cooper and Benton counties. He
was not permitted to sell oil outside of
this territory.
His reports were sent to G. W.
Mayer, who had charge of the Stand
ard Oil interests in Missouri.
"When I took charge of the Sedalia
office," said the witness, "the Standard
Oil company controlled B0 or 60 per
cent, of the business In that territory.
"Inside of a short time I had taken
the business away from competitors,
and the Standard, before I severed my
connection with it In 1901, controlled
90 per cent, of the trade In the Sedalla
territory.
"I was told to go into the field of
our enemy and destroy our competi
tors," continued Mr. Morgan. "I was
ordered to Bell all goods possible — to
cut prices wherever necessary. The
Waters-Pierce company sold within
eighteen miles of Sedalia, and X was
not allowed to go Into their territory."
! Morgan was then asked to tell if he
knew of other methods resorted to by
the Standard Oil company besides cut
ting prices to get business or kill off,
competition.
He answered that the company fur
nished ' him with barrel gauges by
which he would be able to show a cus
tomer that a competitor sold "short"
barrels.
"Did you use these gauges?"
"I did not."
"Why?"
- VWell, I did not think it was proper
to use them."
"Who were your Instructors?"
:"I was told by Mr. Mayer to use
gauges only in extreme cases, , that is,
where a competitor could not be driven
out. by other methods or where other
arguments failed to induce the mer
chant to buy from us."
'."To what extent would these gauges
indicate a barrel of oil was short when
applied to a barrel sold by a competi
tor?" - . . ' •■■■■••.
."From four ?to five gallons."
""Why did you refuse to carry out in
structions sent to you in regard to
these gauges?" .._;..-> :>iii>i, . ■,'-., '
,"I had personal reasons." /.
r "\Vhat were they T\ .:;■'■'-'
/•Well, because I thought these
gaug j were being used with fraudu
lent mteiit. In the first place. a good
salesman could show by sharp manipu
lation that barrels .- were short."

RAMBUNCTIOUS
MAN TESTIFIES
MANNING ON STAND IN THE
INSURANCE INQUIRY
Closely Questioned by Hughes— Was
Paid $450 a Year to Work In
Interests of Insurance
Business
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.— 1t was latfl
this afternoon when Mr. Hughes, coun
sel for the legislative insurance Inves
tigation committee, called to the wit
ness chair William S. Manning of Al
bany, referred to in letters addressed
by John A. Nichols to Senator Depew
at a previous session ns the "ram
bunctious friend up the river,"
Mr. Manning was the most interest
ing witness of the day and was ques
tioned closely by Mr. Hughes as to his
connection with life Insurance com
panies. He detailed his work /or va
rious companies for many years and
came gradually to the time when ho
took up Insurance work in Albany and,
as he testified, "was paid $450 a year
by John A. Nichols to protect life in
surance Interests always in the Interest
of the business, but not in the Interest
of. the officers."
After several years, he said, this
amount was reduced to $300. He did
not know where Mr. Nichols was get
ting the money and had never inquired.
He denied that he had ever received
money from the Equitable Life Assur
ance society. When his fee was re
duced, however, he understood that thn
Equitable, the Mutual Life and the
New York Life had each paid $150, and
that the reduction was due to the fact
that the New York Life had dropped
out of the agreement.
An Interesting part of the testimony
was reached when Mr. Hughes inquired
concerning the state Insurance inves
tigation of 1877. Manning said he acted
as an expert there and found the re
ports Of the proceedings were "garbled
and untrue." He testified that he se
cured a corrected report of the proceed
ings from the official stenographer and
had a volume printed, the alleged
garbled parts having been printed In
Italics. These were sold to some In
surance companies for $50 a copy. The
volume was copyrighted to prevent the
publication of testimony contained in
the work. He denied also that he had
ever made arrangements with insurance
companies to stop the publication of
his book.
"I Just gave it up," he said, when
Mr. Hughes inquired. The committee
adjourned while Mr. Manning was on
the stand, until tomorrow morning.

SCHEME TO STEAL TRUNKS
Roads Running Out of Chicago Are
Victimized by Clever
Swindlers
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.— The Chicago
& Alton and several Western roads
are Buffering from the operations of
baggage check Bwlndlers. The game
is a new one. Most of the railroads
have discarded the old-time brass
checks and now use a card on which
is written the destination, route and
other particulars.
These cards are easy to Imitate, and
when the sharper notes, the wording
and number of a check upon a piece
of baggage that has just arrived it
is the work of but a few moments to
prepare a duplicate and present it tv
the baggage man. In many cases the
baggage has been delivered several
hours before the real owner called for
it, thus giving ample time to maku
away with the plunder.

SENATOR ELKINS *IS HEARD
Offers Many Suggestions as to Rail-
road Rats Regula
tion
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, NdV. 23.— The senate
committee on Interstate commerce to
day continued the discussion Of mea*-.
ures relative to amending the railway
regulations. Many Ideaa were ex
changed, but there were no develop
ments of importance. Senator Elklnd
chairman of the committee, occupied
much of the session in making aug
pfptlons and discussing propositions
which he thought ought to be Incorpor
ated in any bill that may be reported.
These suggestions were numerous and
would mean quite a lengthy measure
aside from regulation provisions.
Senator 101) Ins did not bring; forward
the pooling proposition but Intends to
present it later In some modified form,
so that there may be freer traffic be
tween railroads. One particular point
made by Senator Elklns looked to com
pelling trunk lines to afford better
facilities to lateral lines and small
romlH, which are compelled to use big
roads to reach a market. The better
management of the private car lines so
as to meet the demands of shippers and
amendment of the laws bearing en
terminal companies and terminal
charges also were suggested.
There was a great deal of talk by
other members of. the committee, and
during the afternoon the Esch-Town
send bill wns up for comment. It did
not seem likely that this measure
would be made the basis of action by
the committee, as several members
have made drafts of measures which
they will present for consideration. The
committee will meet again tomorrow
at 10 o'clock. . •>':'„:'■:',

Market
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.— Lead ore
sold at the highest price in twenty
five years in Missouri when sales were
made today at $5.50 per 100 pounds.

FRUIT GROWERS HAVE
MADE GOOD PROFITS
SEASON JUST CLOSED HAS BEEN
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Manner of Selling Haa Been Greatly
to the Advantage of the Ranchers.
Average of Shipments Exceeds
That of Other Years ;
By Associated Press
SACRAMENTO. Nov. 23.— The suc
cess of the present fruit season that
is just now drawing to a close gives
zest to the Thanksgiving spirit which
pervades the entire state. One feature
that is particularly pleasing is the
manner in which the producers have
cleaned up the money. A great deal
of this year's fruit has been sold "on
growers' account" and their profits
have been great. Just to illustrate it
may be mentioned that on two car
loads of persimmons shipped by Ell
wood Cooper he will realize over 12500
V; cash, clear of all expenses. Practi
cally every ounce of fruit produced in
the state has been marketed, or will be
taken within the next two weeks.
George B. Katzenstein, manager of
the Karl Fruit company, in speaking
of the present season and the satis
factory results obtained by all con
cerned In this great industry, says: .
Always. ttfnff2«ber the Fidl JNeiae * . ".,•■ '

"The season has been a remarkable
one in many respects. With seriou*
disadvantages and apparently un-
promising outlook at tho outset, the
close indicates from the growers'
standpoint a most prosperous season , ;
and on the whole the largest recorder! 1
shipment of deciduous fruits In any
one year. . •■. ■<* wi i '
"Aside from local shipments to th«
larger centers within the state such an
San Francisco. X.os Angeles, 'etc., tt.o
carload lots shipped out of the state, I
mostly to the far Eastern points, may
be recapitulated in quantative order as
follows:
Peaches, 1945% carloads; grapes,
1592%; apples, 1493; plums,. 1391 V4:
pears, 1013; apricots, 29S^; ' cherries,
79' i; assorted, 16V4; Bhlpped Easts to
date, 7810. .. , V«-£J£»«s*
"It may be stated In a comparative!
way that the average similar-shipments'
during the past ten years have bee/T
6852 carloads. - ;•'.'••..»'.
' "As to the value in dollars and cents
I should say that" an average of. 11000
per car for the season just closed on
the whole would not be far out of 'the'
way; so the value of our export --of,
Eastern shipments of green declduoua
fruits alone would easily approximate,
$8,000,000. This takes no account of the
vast quantities consumed in the home'
markets." ', ' •.;
