HARD B10WS FOR
STANDARD Oil
COMMERCE^ COMMISSION
GETS
DAMAGING TESTIMONY AT
CLEVELAND.
OIL TRUST GIVEN ADVANTAGE
FORMER CHIEF CLERK OF LAKE
SHORE LAYS BARE BOLD
METHOD.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 27.—A total of
nineteen witnesses were called by In
terstate Commerce Commissioners
Prouty and Clements in the Standard
Oil inquiry here yesterday. Testimony
bordering on the sensational was ob
tained from several witnesses. That
of George L. Lane of Mansfield, Ohio,
a former employe of the Standard Oil
company, was regarded as particularly
important. According to his evidence,
Lane was for about fourteen months
in 1901 and 1902 employed by the
Standard Oil company for the particu
lar purpose of driving all independent
oil peddlers in a dozen or more of the
principal cities and towns of Northern
Ohio out of business.
Use Fair Means or Foul.
He said he was employed by C. M.
Lyons of the Cleveland office of the
Standar4..°il company to go to certain
designat: p'aces and use every
means, or foul, to force the inde
pendents to quit.
"My instructions," he saifl, "were to
kill them and 1 was told that If I could
not do the job somebody else would be
sent to take my place. I worked in
Youngstown and surrounding small
towns. In all of the towns, with the
exception of Youngstown, the inde
pendent peddlers were forced to aban
don their business. In Youngstown a
man named William H. Vahey was en
countered, and, despite everything we
could do, he held his trade. We gave
oil away by the barrel and tank load,
but it did no good. Vahey's customers
threw it away."
Conduct Literary Bureau.
Cleveland, May 29. After three
days spent in taking testimony con
cerning the affairs of the Standard Oil
company, the interstate commerce
commissioners, Prouty and Clements,
adjourned Saturday afternoon and
shortly thereafter started for Wash
ington, where they are expected soon
to begin the preparation of their re
port on the testimony taken here and
in Chicago for presentation to con
gress.
The report, however, will not be
closed until the Standard Oil com
pany's attorneys have been given
ample opportunity to reply to the
many statements and charges put In
evidence. In the three days' hearing
just completed thirty-five witnesses
have been on the stand.
Important Developments.
Saturday's developments were re
garded as important. The first wit
ness was W. E. MacEwen, formerly
chief clerk in the car department of
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
company in this city. He said the
cars of the Union Tank line (Stand
ard Oil cars) were given a great ad
vantage over rival cars in computing
mileage and freight bills.
The hills of one would be computed
according to one standard of distance
and those of the other according to
another.
The result was that the Standard
was enabled to save a considerable
sum. MacEwen said he was with the
Lake Shore road for several years,
and when he left it he started to work
with the Peerless Transit company, a
small rival tank line.
Forced Concessions.
Knowing how mileage and charges
were being computed, be went, to the
proper Lake Shore officials and asked
for the same advantages extended to
the Union Tank line. The officials,
he testified, made light of his request,
ridiculing him, and said he was show
ing great Ignorance of things.
Not Discouraged, however, he ob
tained copies of the compiloaions oi
car reports, which were duly for
warded to the Cleveland office of the
Standard Oil company, and taking
them to officials of the Lake Shore
finally succeeded in accomplishing
his object.
Special Counsel Monnett endeav
ored to show by» several witnesses
that the Standard maintained a press
bureau for the purpose of subsidizing
Ohio Newspapers.
Malcolm Jennings, who conducts
an advertising bureau at Lancaster
Ohio, admited that he made advertis
ing contracts with Ohio newspapers
for the Standard Oil company, but
said they were no different from those
made for any other concern.
Killed by Pitched Ball.
Kansas City, Mo., May 29.—Howard
Newton, aged seventeen years, was

ball and killed while playing baseball

was struck by a thrown ball, and af

RUSSIA IS ON
VERGE OF CHAOS
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE GOV­
ERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE
IS CERTAIN.
DOUMA SLAPS CZAR'S FACE
GOVERNMENT'S POLICY REJECT­
ED AND DISMISSAL OF CABI­
NET DEMANDED.
St. Petersburg, May 26. The gov
ernment seems to be hesitating about
executing the resolution taken a week
ago to grant partial amnesty. The of
ficial statement justifying the govern
ment in not granting plenary amnesty,
seems designed to pave the way for a
refusal on the ground that in the pres
ent circumstances the release of the
political prisoners deserving freedom
can be left to the local authorities.
The Twentieth Century, formerly
the Russ, prints in parallel columns
the text of identical telegrams sent'to
the emperor from widely different
places protesting against the demands
of the lower house for amnesty, prov
ing them to have been Inspired from a
common source.
At Kieff the local branch of the
League of the Russian People decided
to organize for the coming war against
parliament and pronounced itself in
favor of the creation of a dictatorship
to crush the revolution. Officers of
the guard regiments in St. Petersburg
at a meetiijg just held openly advo
cated the dispersal of parliament,
Rushing on to Revolution.
St. Petersburg, May 27. Premier
Goremyliin at 3 o'clock this afternoon
will read before the lower house of
parliament the government's response
to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, and announce the
government's policy.
The Conservative-Liberal newspaper
Strana (country), which claims to
have inside information, says the rec
ommendation will be largely negative,
but there will be a positive proposal
for reform in local adminlstdat.lon, in
cluding the abolishment of the hated
"zemsky nachalniks" or petty adminis
trative despots, whose tyranny is one
of the main grievances of the peasant
ry, and the placing of gendarmes and
rural police under the control of the
judiciary Instead of the administrative
branch. With regard to amnesty, the
cabinet will declare for a continuation
of the wholesale release as fast as pos
sible, but will insist that a general am
nesty is inexpedient.
General Strike Likely.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Moscow says that denial of ^ull
amnesty probably will be followed by
a general strike. Similar news has
been received from other. industrial
centers.
In spite of the moderate counsel of
the leaders, the Constitutional Demo
crats are being pressed on by the de
nunciations of the radical elements to
ward an open rupture. Revolutionary
activity is increasing throughout the
country and there is evidence that rev
olutionary emissaries are traveling
through the country stirring up hatred
against the nobles and landlords and
encouraging the peasants to strike for
the ostensible purpose of forcing par
liament to hasten the distribution of
lands.
Daily Conflicts Reported.
Oh the other hand, the agents of re
action are adopting the same tactics in
favor of a dispersal of parliament, and
a return to autocracy. As a result of
this propaganda, threatening letters
have been received by many members
of parliament and dispatches from the
interior report daily conflicts between
the followers of the two extreme
parties.
Revolution in the Air.
St. Petersburg, May 29.—At the end
of a memorable seven-hour session,
the lower house of parliament Satur
day indignantly rejected the govern
ment's policy as presented by Pre
mier Goremykin, and, with only seven
dissenting votes, voted a lack of con
fidence in the ministry, practically
trhowing down the gauntlet to the
bureaucracy with a demand for the
dismissal of the present cabinet and
its supersession by a ministry ap
proved by the majority in the house.
The spirit of absolute revolution is
in the air, and a conflict between the
crown and the nation now appears to
be inevitable.
THE RUSSIAN CRISIS.
PHILIPPINE LEPER COLONY.
Two Hundred Lepers Taken There
From Cebu.
Manila, May 29.—The first perma
nent leper colony in the Philippines
has been established on Cullon Island,
and 200 lepers have been removed
there from Cebu. All cases discovered
in the future will be sent there. Fojjr
Catholic nuns have volunteered their
services and are en route to the set
tlement to devote their lives to nurs
ing the afflicted.
rrrf
5.
While the house avoided the ap
pearance of delivering an ultimatum,
the government seems to have no al
ternative except surrender or war.
The gloomiest forebodings are ev
erywhere expressed and the general
Impression is that the country Is on
the verge of- a titanic struggle, which
may be delayed but not averted.
Slap in the Face.
With breathless anxiety society
awaits the government's response to
the bold action of the lower house of
parliament which, in censuring the
ministry and demanding its retire
ment, was like a deliberate slap in
the face and a direct challenge which
the government, though inclined to
prefer its usual policy of temporiza
tion and compromise, can hardly
avoid meeting. Parliament has burned
the bridge and virtually taken the
step which the French states general
did when it transformed itself into a
national convention. By flaunting the
fundamental laws and practically de
claring that it purposed to exercise
full parliamentary rights with a re
sponsible ministry, it has become in
the eyes of the law a revolutionary
body, and from that position there
seems no retreat.
Government in Panic.
The news of the action of the
house came like an electric shock,
the people generally being as greatly
surprised as the bureaucracy at the
promptness with which the whole of
the government's policy was abso
lutely scorned. Both sides recognize
the acuteness and seriousness of the
moment, but panic is in the govern
ment and not in the popular camp.
The Constitutional Democratic
chiefs are displaying calmness in the
face of the crisis. They declare that,
having delivered their reply, they
purpose to go calmly ahead with the
work before them, forcing the goy
ernment to take the initiative.-
May Lose Crown and Head.
"The government, if it dares to
fight," said M. Kekoshkine, one of the
Constitutional Democratic members of
the house, "can disperse the parlia
ment but the victory of the bureau
cracy would only be temporary. It
would inevitably by followed shortly
by a bloody revolution which would
not leave a stick of the present gov
ernment standing. The emperor
must choose between a real constitu
tional government and the loss, not
only of his crown but probably of his
head."
Terrorists Get Busy.
The terrorists were quick to seize
the opportunity for a series of blows
in widely separated parts of the coun
try, the news of whlcu forms a prom
inent feature in this morning's news
papers, instead of the expected decree
of amnesty. The attempts at Tiflis
and Sebastopol are convincing indica
tions of the determination of the fight
ing organization to resume its cam
paign of assassination with full vigor.
The press' to-day, almost without
exception, is pessimistic, recognizing
the extreme gravity of the situation
and the tempest which the denial of
the right of expropriation of land will
provoke among the peasantry.
Eleven Victims of Bombs.
Dispatches received here concern
ing the bomb outrage at Sebastopol
during the review of troops after the
celebration of the anniversary of the
emperor's coronation, say that eleven
persons were killed, including five
children and that more than a hun
dred persons were wounded. The
dispatches also say that four arrests
were made.
REFUGEES FLOODED OUT.
Heavy Rain Storm Causes Much Dis
comfort in San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 29. A heavy
rain storm swept over the city and
surrounding country Saturday night
and yesterday, damaging truck gar
dens, flooding basements and bringing
much discomfort and misery to the
refugees camped out on low ground.
One and fifteen-hundredths Inches of
rain fell, the heaviest fall for this
late season of the year since 1884. la.
several parts of the city refugees
camped in low places were dricen out
of their tents by the rush of water.
Several stores on FiJlmore street,
which was impassable between Post
and Eddy streets for a time, were
flooded. .V
MAY BE FINED $50 A DAY.
New York Oil Company Warned by
Officials.
Rochester, N. Y., May 29.—The at
torney general of Ohio has notified the
Vacuum Oil company of this city that
unless the company desists from cer
tain methods and business dealings
a penalty of $50 a day will be collect
ed as long as the alleged violations
shall continue. The attorney general
charges that the Vacuum Oil company
is violating the provisions of an Ohio
anti-trust law.
Killed by Blast.
Glenwood, Wis., May 27. While
blasting rock in the stone quarry of
Pat Deneen at Cranetown, a little set
tlement south of here, William Camp
bell was instantly killed by a flying
rock. He had prepared a charge of
dynamite and lighted the fuse and
stepped back, but did not get far
enough away and was hit by a pieoe
of rock when the charge exploded. He
was about eighty years old and had
lived near this city for the past twenty
years.' .....
