STOCKHOLDERS ARE LEFT OUT}; REPORT THAT STANDARD WILL BE REORGANIZED DENIED BY ARCHBOLD. New York, Sept. 25.—The ways and means by which the Tidewater Pipe Company of Pennsylvania came under virtual control of the Standard Oil company was unfolded yesterday in the hearing of the government's suit against the oil combine. The affairs of the Tidewater company were dis- closed by the testimony of Robert Benson, president of the company, and from a mass of accounts and con- tracts. The Standard was shown to own at present 31 per cent of the Tidewater stock, and by an agreement entered into in 1883 between the two companies the oil business was divid- ed in such proportion that the Tide- water did 111-2 per cent and the Standard 881-2 per cent. Jump Stockholders’ Meeting.

Counsel for the government obtained evidence from Mr. Benson and the records of the company that certain interests had held the Titusville meeting without is- suing a cali to the stockholders, as provided for by the company’s by- laws. The litigation in the Pennsyl- vania courts that followed the Titus- ville meeting resulted in a decision against these officers. Mr. Benson was asked to examine the record and see if any stock now held by the Standard Oil interests had been voted at that meeting Standard Men Got It. Mr. Benson said that 1,864 shares of stock voted at that meeting came into possession of gentlemen whom they considered to represent the Standard Oil interests, and that this stock in 1900 was transferred by William G. Rockefeller to H. C. Folger, who still owns it. Mr. Benson gave testimony to show that, under the existing contract with the Standard, of 95 per cent of oil re- fined by the Tidewater company 77 per cent was sold to the Standard and the remaining 23 per cent was sold in a territory in which the Standard was not interested. The president of the Tidewater company, when asked what disposi- tion was made of the remaining 5 per cent refined for domestic purposes, said that the Standard secured 97 per cent of it.
