He 'added that the net earnings for 1907
were approximately $80,000,000.
Mr. Kellogg again asked If ha considered
the business risky on such a showing and
, Mr.t Rockefeller 'again retorted that the
profits did not determine the risk, it was
evidence that the business was prosperous.
He absented to Mr. Kellogg's figures show
ing that the compmy earned $490,000,000 from
188 .to 1906. Adding the earnings of 1907
would give total earnings of $570,000,000.
, "Then where does' the hasard of the busi
ness come, in?'.' asked Mr, Kellogg.'. ;
"In' the; first place, "since the 'first re
finery was built mora than fifty years ago
we have been prepared at any moment, day
o? night,' to hear the fire alarm. We are
dealing with a very explosive product.
Fires are constantly occurring."
"But your profits were above your fire
losses, which have been charged to profit
and loss account."
, "Yes. "sir."
Mr. Rockefeller said another risk was the
peculiar construction of refining machinery,
which could be used for no other purpose.

NSON THORNE CO,
One could never tell when he would awake
to find the crude old supply exhausted.
Questioned A boat Rebatew.
, Mr. Kellogg then asked Mr. Rockefeller
about the Standard Oil agreement with
the Pennsylvania railroad In 1877, in which
the Pennsylvania agreed to pay back 10
per cent of the freight rates which the
Standard paid.. The witness said this
agreement followed the rate war between
the northern and southern lines, and that
there was an agreement whereby he was to
equalise the amount of freight distributed
between the different railroads.
Mr. Kellogg read the agreement which
showed that it provided that the Standard
Oil company was to ship 2,000,000 barrels
of oil a year. When the government
counsel asked If the other railroads be
sides the Pennsylvania made a like agree
ment for a 10 per cent rebate, Mr. Rocke
feller referred him to the men who con-
ducted the negotiations. ,
i , Replying to Mr. Kellogg's question
whether the Standard Oil company was the
Only one to get the rebates, the witness
said that the greater volume of business
given by the Standard was in part re
sponsible for the rebate and that in those
days It was the custom for large shippers
to receive consideration. "We aought to
, secure what all shippers then and now
seek," said Mr. Rockefeller. He did . not
recall what Daniel O'Day's connection with
thle matter was, but sald'Mr. ODay was
general manager of the Columbia Conduit
company, which was purchased by the
Standard in 1877.
Twenty Cents Barrel Paid. 1
Mr. Kellog then read letters of Mr. O'Day
to Mr. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania rail
road, in which It was stated that the Amer
ican Transfer company received a rebate
of twenty cente a barrel from the Lake
Shore road and it was requested that the.
Pennsylvania give the same rebate. It
was shown that the Pennsylvania did so.
"Don't you know that Mr. O'Day and
Mr. Cassatt both testified that the Ameri
can Transfer company the Standard Oil
company was not only paid a rebate of
twenty cents a barrel on Its own shipments,
but a rebate on the shipment of oil by In
dependent refineries?" asked Mr. Kellogg.
"My attention has been called to such
testmony," said Mr. Rockefeller.
Mr. Rockefeller said that he was presi
dent of the Standard and had general direc
tion of It at that time.
"Did you know of the contract whereby
he Standard was to obtain twenty cents
a barrel in rebate on outside shipments?"
"I may have known of It generally at
the time. I had nothing to do with the
contract."
Mind am Important Affairs.
The witness said he could not recall
whether Mr. Cassatt had testified that
these rebates were paid to the American
Transfer company. . His mind, he said, was
engaged In more important problems.
During the noonday Intermission Mr.
Rockefeller took to task the newspaper
reporters for printing bis maxims on the
care of the stomach.
"Don't you boys think you violated my
confidence?" he asked with a quisslcal
smile. "I. meant what I said for your
special benefit; but I suppose the advice
is good for everybody so I don't care very
much."
Mr. Rockefeller then asked one of the
artists who had been sketching him to let
him sea the picture.
Forgets A boat Rebates.
Mr. Kellogg then read the testimony of
A. J. Cassatt in a case brought by the state
of Pennsylvania against the Pennsylvania
etruction of an independent pipe line for
those refiners who were unable to obtain
the same rate from the Pennsylvania rail
road as did the Standard.
eral Bonaparte was asked today if he con
sidered the testimony of John D. Rocke
feller in the Standard Oil hearing now
going on in New York would secure for

general replied that the Denartment of
"I may have had the knowledge at the
time."
Replying to other questions Mr. Rocke
feller said he could not recall whether the
Standard Oil company controlled the Na
tional Storage company, which was the ter
minal of the Pennsylvania railroad at Com
munipaw, or whether he used those oil ter
minals from 1875 to 1881. He could not state
how long the Standard controlled the ter
minals of the Erie and New York Central
roads. Ha said he was In the western
office and that was a detail.
"Did not the Standard make the terminal
rate which was charged to the independ
ents?" "They were charged fair warehouse rates,
as provided In the agreement."
"But controlled all the terminals and
made all the rates?"'
"We would not have been so unwise as
to charge more than a fair rate."
The witness said that he had no doubt
that tha Independent companies had other
terminals in New York than those con
trolled by the Standard Oil company.
"But you assessed the warehouse and
freight charges against all of tha inde
pendents using your terminals?"
"Probably we did."
Mr. Kellogg asked whether the Standard
did not buy twenty independent refineries
prior to 1874 and dismantle many of them.
"I should think hardly as many as that. '
We used the best of the refineries and t

Soaih Improvement Company.
He said that the Standard had little to
say about the South Improvement com
pany, but participated in the meeting when
It was organised. Mr. Kellogg then read
the list of stockholders of the South Im
provement company and asked Mr. Rocke
feller about the agitation which follewed
the organisation of this company.
"I can hardly explain tha reason for the
excitement of those gentlemen," replied
Mr. Rockefeller.
tWae it not the enormous rebates that
the railroads were to pay?"
"It was probably due to misapprehension
on tha part of tha Independent shippers."
Mr. Rockefeller's attention was called to
tha agreement with tha South Improvement
company, the rates provided therein for re
bates on olL '
"Is it not a fact that all other parties,
according to this agreement, were to be
charged the full gross rate?
'Probably so."
"Isn't It (hat feature that created the
excitement among the Independents?"
"It might have been one of the causes
but I could hardly recollect after forty
years all the causes."
"You say the Standard did not agree
with the propositions of the South Im
proveraent company, but is it not a fact
the Standard Oil company signed a man!
festo supporting the South Improvement
company ?"
"It may have been. I rather think It
must have been the Standard OH company
of Pittsburg. I have no recollection of the
Standard Oil company of Cleveland signing
It."
"Were you a stockholder of the South
Improvement company?"
"I never received the certificate as far
as I can recollect."

CHICAGO, Nov. . Two persons were
drowned and six others rescued from the
water today, when an automobile in which
they had been speeding toward Chicago
swerved from its course at the approach
to the Torrence avenue bridge over the
Calumet river. .
The occupants of the machine were four
chauffeurs and four young women, all
living at 210S Armour avenue. The car
plunged over an embankment and struck
a platform fifteen feet from the shore, the
occupants being shot as from a catapult
into the water. The bridge tender and
three companions plunged into the water
and rescued three girls and helped three
of the men to reach shore. Joseph Meyer
and Margaret Atklna, however, were

DUrapt Federation laoalry
Made lata Reason for
Opposition.
DENVER. Colo., Nov. . The convention
of the American Federation of Labor got
Itself In a parliamentary wrangle today
over a resolution Introduced a an amend
ment to a part of the report of the com
mittee on president's report asking the con
vention to InveMlgnte the source of the
soda Hut party's funds in the Iste polltlrsi
campaign. An amendment calling upon the
fifteen socialist delegates to the convention
to explain allegations detrimental to tha
federation officials, appearing In the social
istic press, was agreed to after .a number
of speeches, and considerable disorder.
This action of the convention probably
will lie reversed at the afternoon sesMon,
but tha socialists have accomplished their
purposes to make socla'lst speeches before
tha convention fend get thrm In the record.
When the convention met today consid
eration of the committee's report on presi
dent's report was then Tesunied whore it
stopped yesterday afternoon. The recom
mendation of the committee on the subject,
"Legislation and Political Action," which
caused a' long debate yesterday, carrying
with it tha recommendation that any mem
ber of the executive council who does not
agree with any action by the executive
council should resign. was adopted without
debate.
When the point In the committee's report
endorsing the Federations, the official or
gan, was reached, Delegate J. M. Barns of
the Clgarmakers protested against an edi
torial which had appeared during the po
litical campaign asking "Who is financing
the Red Special?" with which Presidential
Candidate Eugene V. Debs made his cam
paign. The editorial charged that the forces op
posed to labor were financing tha "Red
Bpeclal."
Mr. Barns offered a resolution calling
upon tha convention to appoint a commit
tee to go over the books of the socialist
party and ascertain where the funds were
obtained.
T. 3. Duffey of the Pottery Workers
moved that before the amendment to the
report be considered the socialists present
be asked If they endorsed editorials ap
pearing In socialist organa attacking the
federation and its officers.
President Gompers defended the editorial.
He asked why the only paragraph In the
editorial in which he had expressed an
opinion la taken up and every charge in
the editorial is overlooked for he did make
number of charges. Mr. Gompers
charged that the socialists were trying to
disrupt the trade union movement.
He said that there never has appeared a
more severe arraignment of the officers of
the federation In tha hostile press than
has appeared in tha Cleveland Cltlxen,
edited by Max Hayes, a representative of
the Typographical union in the oonven
Uon. Mr. Gompers stated he had no ill
will against any man personally and that
be fought solely for the trade union move'
ment. , He had no ill will towards even
Debs or Daniel DeLeon of the Industrial
Workers of tha World, although both were
trying ' to destroy the trade union move
ment.
; Delegate Duffey's motion asking for ex
planatlon from the socialists of editorials
in certain socialist papers attacking tha
federation officers was finally agreed to.
a. li. urant Of the Metal Polishers, a
socialist, said he was not responsible for
the editorials, but that he believed that
there bas been cases where labor leaders
had sold out, although he made no charges
against the federation officers.

Tht government, it Is said, may find it
necessary, Inasmuch as the source of the

LONDON, Nov. 20. The Board of Agri
culture late this afternoon was Informed
officially of the extension of tha foot and
