Stewart and at his request gave him a vote of confidence. The New. York Herald Tribune says Wall Street views Mr. Rockefeller's ef- forts to oust Col. Stewart as the first test of strength of the Rockefeller in- terests since the dissolution of the Standard Oil trust in 1911. The paper says that the Street is not at all sure of the outcoms, feeling that Stewart can muster as much strength in the Indians company as the head of the family which formerly dominated the entire Standard empire. The Herald-Tribune says there are few disgruntled stockholders in the In- dlana company because of the Hbers | policy of dividends which the company has established under Stewart's regime. In 1912, when several Standard Oil companies distributed large shares of their surplus through stock distribution. the Indiana company declared a 2.900 per cent stock dividend, equivalent to issuing 30 new shares for every old one The same year it paid 6 per cent in reg- ular cash dividends and 7 per cent in extras. Its cash dividends have beer proportionately large up to the present time and in 1920 there was anothe: stock dividend of 150 per cent.
