Washington, Juno 10. Ex-State Sen
ator Theodore P. Davis, of Ohio, was
tho first witness before the industrial
commission yesterday. He is both a
producer and a refiner of petroleum, lo
cated at Marietta, and his testimony
dealt with the operations of tho Stand
ard Oil trust and the Argand Oil com
pany. Ho complained of the discrimina
tions of tho railroad companies, saying
that the managers of some of the roads
were interested in rival companies
which were so favored that his com
pany had been compelled to suspend
business. This discrimination was
also practiced by the pipe lines against
producers not in the combine. Out
siders were also unable to secure fair
rates from railroads, witness averred,
forcing Hho conclusion that the rail
road companies were concerned for the
success of the pipe lines.
Mr. Davis said that the Standard com
pany had been able to come into con
trol of most of tho producing area
through co-operating companies, lie
declared that as a refiner he had
purchased considerable oil from
the Standard company and that
it was tho custom of the
Standard company to charge up its
losses of oil 13 fire, leakage, etc., in
any given district to the purchasers in
that district. Ho also said that the
Standard company had such close rela
tions with the railroad companies and
bo completely controlled tho markets
ns to render it almost impracticable for
any refiner to enter upon tho manu
facture of lubricants.

they havo been drowned. The wheat
crop was swept away by the ilood, en
tailing a loss of thousands of dollars.
Cattle, horses and hogs wero drowned
by tho hundreds. From all reports re

A NEW EXPERIENCE,
Phclic Ann AVim Grcntly "Worried
Over the Aotlonn of the
TrceM 1111(1 IIOIINC!.
She is only a little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under a dozen
years in age and until a short time ago had.
passed all of her life on a rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what PhchcAnn .
knew of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning ot a primer.
She was hcing educated for a house servant,
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
hoiifc all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along iu the season, for some good rea
son, it became necessary for the lainily to .
move into a city. The little negro girl was -wanted,
for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates.
So it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phehc Ann was in a state of suppressed ex
citement. She sat beside "Miss Amy," aa
she called her mistress, ami with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com
ment. When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat gin
gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win
dow and generally seemed uncertain con
cerning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the tram commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
sullied audibly.
"What's the matter, Phebe Ann?" asked
her mistress.
"Oh, .Miss Amy," wailed the pickanning,
whah all dciu houses and trees a-goiu' at 'i
A seat on the iloor was the only means
possible to quiet the fears of the child. Chi

SHE PREFERRED DEATH FIRST
AV011I1I Ilrnrc the Ilorrorx of (lie Deep
Ilefore She AVonld JInUe 11 Fright
of Hornelf with 11 l.lfo Preserver.
She was a very plump woman. There
arc people who say they would like to be
just as plump, but the woman herself is al
ways thinking of ways and means by which .
her appearance of diameter and circumfer
ence may be reduced, and anything that will
apparently increase she regaids with a dis
like that is little short of abhorrence. Uut
if there is one thing that she dislikes more
than her comfortable plumpness, it is the
water. So, when one day, on a steamer in
a fog, there was a collision, she was even
more unhappy than most people arc under
such circumstances, though it was related .
nftcrwat d that she behaved with great cool
ness. There was fortunately no more seri
ous result from the collision than several
hours delay, but no one was ignite sure in
that time what the next minute would bring
forth. The husband of the woman with the
comfortable plumpness, like the good hus
band that he was, immediately after the ac
cident found life preservers, and in a mat
ter of fact way started to assist his wife to
put one on. Hut sue recoiled with such hor
ror that for a moment he was not sure but
the shock had deprived her of her senses.
"Put on one of those things?" she almost
ehrieked. "Never! .lust look at that fat
woman over there with one of them on.
She looks a perfect sight."
And she didn't put the life preserver on,
and it was her good fortune that she had
no reason to regret it. N. Y. Times.
