MUCH INFORMATION SOUGHT Attorney Kellogg, for the Government, Guestions Witnesses at Length Re- garding the Methods of the Octopus and Subsidiary Companies. New York, Sept. 1 .—Profits aggre- gating $499,315,934 were made by the Standard Oil company in the seven Years from 1899 to 1906. Testimony to this effect was given by Assistant Comptroller Fay of the company in the federal hearing here. In the same period the company’s gross assets in- creased from $209,791,623 to $371,664, 631. This is the first time the com- rany’s earnings have been made pub- lic. New York, Sept. 18.—Taking of tes- timony was begun during the day in the federal suit against the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. The hearing here in the federal suit, which was brought in St. Louis last Decem- ber, has twice been adjourned at the request of counsel for the defendants. In the meantime, however, Frank B. Kellogg, who is in charge of the gov- ernment’s case, has obtained many books and papers from the Standard Oil company, which has enabled him to proceed expeditiously with the case. Mr. Kellogg intimated that the gov- ernment would also inquire into the character and nature of holdings ot the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, us well as its affiliations, if any, with rafiroads. The United States government has named not only the Standard Oil company of New Jersey as defendant but also seventy sub- sldiary companies of the main cor- poration and the following individ- uals: John D. Rockefeller, Willlam Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, Oliver H. Payne, Charles M. Pratt ind John D. Archbold. Only William G. Rockefeller and Charles M. Pratt have been subpoenaed to ap- pear before the hearing, though Mr. Kellogg may subpoena the others later. When the hearing was called be- fore former Judge Franklin Ferriss, sitting as special master, E. C. Bene- dict of Greenwich, Conn., was called as the first witness. Questioned by Mr. Kellogg Mr. Benedict said that he and Anthony M. Brady, as the Manhattan Oil company, had an oil producing plant near Galatea, O. Mr. Benedict sald that there was a pipe line con- nected with the company. Refreshing his memory from a slip of paper he said that in October, 1898, he sold 1,175 shares of Manhattan oil stock at $100 a share. He could not recall who was the purchaser of the stock, but after further questioning Mr. Kellogg brought out the fact that the Standard Oil company now con- trols the Manhattan company. Charles M. Pratt, a director of the Standard Oil company, followed Mr. Benedict on the witness stand. Mr. Pratt said he had been an officer of the Standard Oil company since 1899, Is now secretary and has charge of the company’s books. Mr. Kelloge showed the Witness a list of securities held by the Standard Oil company or. Sept. 14, 1907, which had been fur nished on subpoena by the company. Mr. Pratt sald the list was made up in the comptroller’s office and he could not say whether the statement shown him was correct or not. “As secretary of the Standard Oil company do you know anything about its acquisitions of other companies?” he was asked. Much Information Sought. “Not necessarily,” replied Mr. Pratt, Who further stated that his knowledge of the company’s holdings was only general. Asked if the Standard Oil company controlled the Ohio Oil com pany the witness replied that it did. Mr. Pratt sald that the Standard owned 4,994 shares of stock of the Solar Refining company, which was all but six shares of the company’s entlre stock issue. Mr. Kellogg then asked Mr. Pratt to produce statements showing the officers and directors of the Standard Ofl company and of all its rubsidiary companies, together With the officers and directors of all companies in which the Standard Ofl company had a stock interest, Mr. Kellogg also asked for a statement of caplitalizations of the varlous com- panies, Mr. Pratt, referring to his dutfes in the Standard Oil company, said that he was an officer of the Standard Oil company of Kentucky, whose prin- cipal business was the distribution of oil south of the Ohio river. He said the Kentucky company obtained its ofl chiefly from the Standard Ol com- pany of Indiana. Mr. Kellogg questioned the witness -at some length about the Pratt Invest. ment company, the stock of which was shown to be held by the Standard Ofl company. He said the Pratt com- Dany represented the stock of the Wa- ters-Plerce Oil company of Texas, which he was holding for the Stand- ard Oil company. Mr. Kellogg devel- oped the information that the C. M. Pratt Investment company came into existence at the time that the Waters.

Chicago, Sept. 1'—The Standard ©Oil company of Indiana, in order to obtain a supersedeas staying execu- tion on its property to satisfy the Judgment of $29,240,000 recently im- posed by Judge Landis in the United States district court, must furnish bonds to the amount of $6,000,000, This was determined by Judge Grosscup in the United States circuit court, much to the chagrin of the at- torneys on both sides. The counsel for the ofl company had contended strenuously for a bond of not more than $1,000,000, while the attorneys for the government had demanded that the bond be as high as the judg- ment imposed by Judge Landis. Judge Grosscup ordered that two bonds must be filed and approved by the court before the supersedeas shall issue. One bond is to be for $4,000,- 000, covering the propes of the com- pany at Whiting, Ind., and the other to be for '$2,000,000, to cover the prop- erty of the company outside of Whit- ing, Ind.
