Republic Is Determined to Continue Its Policy in Moroce LONDON, April 6.—The British Gov- t has not received from Count Metternich, the German Embas- , or any other source, a memo- n regarding Morocco similar to handed to Secretary Taft by that Baron Speck von Sternburg, -the Ger- man Embassador to the United States, vesterday. Germany's action in sing- ling ovt the United States for an of- ficial notification of her attitude toward has created some feeling in where no attempt is made to conceal the leaning of Great Britain toward France in the Moroccan controversy. A well-informed official of the Brit- ish Government said to-day that France would continue her policy in Morocco, and it is firmly believed that the next step on the part of France is iikely to develop a climax and bring | the situation to a head. | Not much attention is paid here to | the suggestions from some quarters of | the Continent that the King’s visit to | France may be preliminery to an An- glo-French alliance. Neverthedess, | following as it does on an active ex- | change of views between London and | Paris, it is expected to help in smooth- ing away some of the international controveries. Although'King Edward’s tnp to the Mediterranean was arranged some time ago, no steps were taken to arrange a meeting with Loubet until after Emperor William’s visit to Tan- | gler.

He was informed that Bar- on Speck von ‘Sternburg’s note had been forwarded to the President. Jus- serand assured Secretary Taft that the “open door” was the policy in Mo- rocco now and that there was no inten- tions on the part of the French Gov- ernment to alter that policy. —————— WITHDRAWS FROM ENTRY 506,000 ACRES OF LAND Sacramento Valley Irrigation Project | Causes Issuance of Order by Sec- i retary of the Interior. | WASHINGTON, April 6.—The Sec- | retary of the Interior has ordered the | withdrawal from entry of the 506,000 acres of land in the San Francisco and Susanville (Cal,) land districts on account of the Bacramento Valley ir- rigation project. On account of irregularities in the bids on the Yuma irrigation dam on the Colorado River in Southern Cali- fognia the Secretary of the Interior has directed that all of them be re- Jected and new bids invited. —— It takes a woman to trust what is not to be trusted just because she ‘wants o SPORESHAN TALES Fon 1L TRIST Subordinate of Rockefeller Bitterly Assails the Clergy men Who Oppose Accept: ance of “Tainted Money” |DENIES STATEMENTS MADE BY DR. GLADDEN S Says the Standard Company Owns No Railroads and Denounces Assertions to | the Contrary as “Vile” NEW YORK, April 6.—S. C. T.l Dodd, chief solicitor of the Standard Oil Company, gave out a statement to- day with reference to the recent dis- cussion as to the acceptance of a gift of $100,000 offered by John D. Rock- | efeller for missionary work. Dodd declares that the statement that Rock- efeller made his money dishonestly “is false, is vile, and, being made by ministers in the pretended interest of morality, is doubly vile.” Dodd says that the Standard Oil does 1ot own a share of stock in any company and does not con- d that, since the enactment of the interstate commerce law, it has not received lower rates than other shippers by re- bates, arrangements, devices or plans of any character. The testimony of Howard Page, freight agent of the Standard Oii Company, before the in- dustrial commission is quoted in this connection. - 'With reference to gas and copper companies Dodd sa No doubt many have been prejudiced against Mr. Rockefeller by sensational writers, whose articles, accompanied by portraits and cari- catures. are intended to create the impression that Mr. Rocksfeller was principal in the af- fairs relating to the organization of the gas and copper companies, aithough show- ing s ed. e Sta denfed that it t, directly and on the bes! nority is now made for John D.

The based money cbjection to Mr. Rockefelier's gift is upon the allegation that he made his dishonestly. This accusation is false, and, being made by ministers In the ndeq interest of -morality, is doubly faise, | assertion should not be made unless it an be readily estabiished by specification and proof. 1 have seen no proof and no attempt even at specification, except inf the protest of Dr. Gladden. He s “In this case the investigation has been | thoroughly made and the facts are known. 'he legislative inquiries, the records of the courts have given the reading people of this ry the materials for a judgment upon the methods of Standard Ofl, and never wae & day when their minds were as clear on this subject as they are now. | Then follows the “‘Mr. Rockefeller may deny that rebates are now given to the Standard, but the Standard now controls about two-thirds of the railroads f country and its power is exerted in hing classification of freights in such that it can kill competition. Rebates are no longer necessary.” CONTROLS NO RAILROADS, The assertion s not t No such state of | fact has ever been disci: d by any investi. | gation, nor supported by evidence in any court | of law No su: facts exist to be proved. The Standard Oil npany does not own a share of stock in any rallroad company, nor does it ton- tr any raijlroad company. sStockholders of the Standard unig dly invest in railroad as in other shares, but stockholders of the Standard Company are not a majority on the board of directors of any railrcad, so far as I am aware, and, therefore, cannot control, The question of railway rebates and Standard control of rallwaye was mvestigated by the United States Industrial Commission in 1000, and they reported no such facts. Members of the Standard and the railways were questioned in relation to these subjects. It was shown that prior to the enacument of the interstate commerce law the rebate system was universal. Railroads made their nominal rates higher | than they expected to obtain from regular ship- pers, and the amount of actual freight to be paid was a matter of contract. Each shipper made the best terms he could. The Standard did not invent this system, ott it found it ex- isting and could not do business without sub- mitting to it. Like all cther shippers, it made | the best,terms it was able to make with the ! railroads. Its refineries were located at points | where it could take advantage of every compe- | titjon. It also strove to give equivalents for reductions in freight. It shipped not only car- | loads, but trainloads. It provided terminal and other facilities and assumed all risks of loss, Public opinion, mcre cnlightened in these davs than in those, ay have discovered that it was all wrong, but at that time the busincss man who dld not accept that method would better ' have closed his shcp REBATES CHEAPEN PRICES. ! The stories told of the immense aggregate the rebates paid to the Standard were investigation to be untrue. A of the rebates pald were not dis- y. They were paid to all shippers who shipped exclusively by rail. It was im- possible for any shipper to know with certainty | what rats his competitors were paying. 1 The Standard often found that its competi- | tors had been paying less rates than it paid. Furthermore, the public obtained the advan- tage of the low rates received. A reduced | price for refined ofl kept pace with the reduc- | tion in rates, whether this reduction was by | way rebates or otherwise. And the %\2:0' at which the public for many years has been obtaining oil would simply have been impoasi- | ble had not shippers forced the railways to | reduce the rates, which they did, first by re- bates and later by open schedule. The system of rebates has Iy received the condemnation of law. The ard wel- comed the change as a beneficlal one. But to say now that it should not have obtained the t rates under the old situation which its | position enabled it to obtain is an impossible | counsel of perfection. | The evidence before the ‘Industrial Commis- | ston_shows very clearly to any unprejudiced | mind that since the enactment of the interstate commerce law the Standard has obeyed it in every particular. The evidence of the Stand- ard managers and freight agents was corrob- orated by the certificates of managers and freight agents of all the leading rallways of the United States to the effect that by 5o re- Character had the Standard recelved less rates R o Yrue ibet allegations to the contrary weve ‘Taade betore ‘the Commission, bat thes pon_surmise and were not sus- tained by proof.

Daniel Evans, chairman of the com- mittee of the Congregational clergy- men who have entered a protest against the acceptance by the Ameri- can Board of Commissioners for For. eign Missions of a gift of $100,000 from John D. Rockefeller, was shown to-night the statement given out in New York by General Solicitor Dodd of the Standard Oil Company.

REJECT yoters of a Ncbraska Town Shy at C “Tainted Money.” PAWNEE CITY, Neb., April 6.—At the municipal election here yesterday a proposition was submitted to the voters to levy a two mill tax on city property to maintain a free public library and to accept a donation of $7000° from® Andrew Carnegie to build the library. The proposition was de- feated by three votes. The opponents of the acceptance of the grant made extensive use of Dr. ‘Washington Gladden’s arguments against the acceptance by the Con-: gregational Mission Board of Rocke- feller's money, contending that Car- negie, like Rockefeller, had “piled up his fortune by robbing the poor.” SELMA, April 6.—The Board of Trustees at a meeting last Saturday formally accepted a gift of $6000 from Andrew Carnegie for a free library, and the citizens of the town have se- lected a site for the building. The report from Fresno that the gift would be declined is an error. —— MUSSULMANS LYNCH - SERVIAN PRISONERS ¢ Exasperated by Turkish Government’s Inaction Against Marauding Bands.
