STANDARD OIL
MAGNATES QUIT
ROCKEFELLER AND ROGERS
LEAVE MUTUAL
Latter Explains Just Why Such Action
Is Taken and Incidentally
Scores President Pea.
body
By AMOClsted Tress.
NEW YORK, July 17,-The commit
tee of trustees of the Mutual I-lfo In
surance company appointed to nomi
nate a new board of trustees to bo
voted for nt the Annual meeting of tho
company In December, made its final
report today, nnd In doing so disclosed
the fact thnt Henry H. Rogers nnd
William UocUefeiler hud withdrawn
from further connection with that
body.
In seeking from President Pen body
the cause of this action on the part
of the Standard Oil Interests Mr. Pea*
body gave uut a personal letter from
Mr. Rogers, upon which he said ho
would m.'iUf no comment. In this letter
Mr. Rogers paid:
"When the troubles came upon tho
company I felt it my duty ns a trus
tee to stand by nnd do anything I could
of service to my fellow members nnd
policy-holders. I believe I have rendered
sonw assistance.
Denies Accusation
"The statement has been frequently
made thnt 1 on used your election to
the presidency of the Mutual company.
No one knows hotter than you how
false this is. You know that I had
but the plißhtost acquaintance with
you before your election; that I never
exchanged a word With you respecting
your candidacy, nor was I in any souse
the Inspiring cause of your selection.
"Apparently the people who are most
active In their hostility to the present
administration are using the fact of
my connection with the Standard Oil
company as a ground for criticism.
"While this is a sufficient reason for
my retinal to ho a candidate or trus
tee, since no one has a right to put
such large interests In jeopardy for
the sake of achieving a personal vindi
cation, it is yet true that, aside from
tho rolatlons of Mr. Rockefeller or my
self, as pollcyholders and trustees,
neither tho Standard Oil company nor
anyone occupying an official position in
that corporation has ever In the slight
est degree had any business or any
other relations with the Mutual Life
Insurance company; and in the case
of Mr. Rockefeller, who is now absent,
his policy matured some months ago
and was paid, nnd he therefore is no
longer a pollcyholder. He wishes' to be
relieved from any further service as a
trustee. •
Defends Rockefeller
"If one imagines that the Standard |
Oil company or any of its officers have
profited out of any relation to the Mu
tual Life Insurance company ho must
be strar.goly ignorant of the facts.
Neither Mr. Rockefeller nor myself
has been Identified with any under
writing scheme, nor have we been en
gaged In any business affairs with the
Mutual company by which we have
been the gainers. On the contrary, we
have given business to the Mutual and
Its allied companies from which they
have largely benefited."
In giving out a list of theytrustees
nominated by the committee •it was
announced that acceptance had not
been received from all the candidates,
but it was Bald that few or no refusals
were expected.
From a source of information that
should bP authoritative, it was learned
that President Peabody would not be
a candidate for re-election In the sense
that he would make any effort to suc
ceed himself. The full ticket Is as fol

Confession of Jett That He Alone

Crime Results In Their
Acquittal
By Associated Prefw.
rtEATTYVILLK, Ky., July 17.— Tho
Jury In the Hargls-Callnhnn trial re
turned n verdict of not guilty aft or
being out twenty-two minutes. The
case was ono of th» most desperately
fought battles In a Kentucky court for
years. The men were charged with the
murder of J. B. Mareum.
Marrtun was a mountain Republican
lawyer of excellent standing. He was
engaged throe years ago n.i.nn at
torney against Jnmes and Edward Cal-
Inhnn, respectively Democratic county
judge and whorlff, to oust thorn from
their offices on an allegation of cor
cupt election. Much bitterness was
aroused, in May, IMS, Mareum was
shot to death from behind In tho Jack
son court house. Curtis Jett and Tom
AVhlte wore convicted nnd given life
terms for the murder. It was charged
that they wore tho tools of Callahnn,
Hargls nnd others. Jett. aftor his con
viction, confessed that he shot Ainrcum
and that this act was Inspired by Cal
lahan and Hargls. On the witness
stand here he repudiated the confession
and said he alono was responsible. The
acquittal follows largely on this re
pudiation.
A jury of Clark county cltizons re
turned a verdict for JSOOO damages a
year ago against Hargls on the nllegH
tion that he had caused Mareum to be
killed. The suit was filed by Mrs.
Mareum. Ilargis and Callahan are yet
