Sir. Raynor did not press his point, but hla pela was taken up by Senator Hale of Maine, whose position on the merits of the measure is diametrically opposite. He said he was sure that the resolution could not br arted upon without protracted debate. He urged deliberate movement and moved an adjournment of the senate. The first vote was viva voce.

Yesterday the KELLOGG BEGINS ARGUMENT He Says Record of Standard Oil Com pany is Record of Oppression. ROCKEFELLER AFFIDAVIT FALSE Attention la Called to Contradictory Statements In Testimony of Oil Klnar Under Oath. WASHINOTON. Jan. IS.-The govern ment's side of the story of the Standard Oil corporation, with all the charges of sins laid at Its doors was placed today, j In part, before the supreme court of the j United Statu. After a few words of summary by John CS. M.ilburn for the Standard, Frank B. Kellogg, special assistant to the attorney general, begun an address In an effort to show thut the Fiandard Oil company of New Jersey should be dissolved In accord ance with the decree ordered by the fed eral court ln Missouri. ln closing. Mr. Mllburn said: "Oamned for ai.ything, but pralsnd for nothing, was the way the Standard OH has been treated by the government. It has done some things In strenuous times that it should not have done. That was human. H has done nothing that goes to the Issue here." Mr. Kellogg first referred to the rebates the Standard received "up to the time this suit was begun." He took Ixsue with Mr. Mllburn'a position 'that before the passage of the Interstate commerce law In 1K87 It was legal for a big shipper to receive , a lower freight rate than a smaller shipper. "I have listened with admiration." he said, "to the charming story of growth and centralisation of this benevolent In stitution. It was told as only a great ad vocate could tell It. It was a story of how the Standard Oil was the result of natu ral growth, gu'ded by the master mind of Mr. Rockefeller. "But I say on my oath as a member of this bar that the equal of this record In oppression Is not to be found In the com mercial history of this country." During the course of hla argument the question came up as to whether or not John D. Rockefeller had made a slip once upon a time. Mr. Kellogg said that Mr. Rockefeller either did not tell the truth In an affidavit he made In a suit tn 180 about the alleged eonrertlon of certain re fineries with the trust, or when he wan on the stund In the present suit. Justice Holmes supested the affidavit could he true literally. "IMdn't he offer an explanation In t tie affidavit when he was on the stand In this cuce?" inquired Justice I.urton.

BILL CUTS STOCK YARDS YARDAGE Two House Members eleo First Opportunity to Henew Ilattlo for Loner Charges at Sooth Omaha. (From a Ptaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 1.1 (Special Tele gram.) A resolution favoring San Fran cisco as the logical point for the pro posed Tanama Canal exposition waa intro duced Into the house this morning by W. A. Prince of Hall county and one In the senate by Senator Tibbets. The resolu tion sets forth as four reasons for th choice the benefit to the state from tho passing across It of thousands of people, the opportunity to advertise Its resources, the benefit from those who stop on their way, and the benefit to-the transportation companies of this state. The resolution aa laid over under the rules to be takeu up next week The text of the resolution follows: "Whereas, congress now has under con sideration the selection of a location for the Panama Pacific exposition to be held In 1915, and will act In reference thereto within a ery few days, "And, wheras. both the cities of Han Francisco and New Orleans aro desirous of being selected as the place for holding said exposition, and, "Whereas, our senators and representa tives in congress no doubt desire to be ad vised aa to the wishes of the people of Nebraska; therefore, be It "Resolved, That this house exprcssea to our senators and representatives ln con gress its preference for Kan Francisco aa the location for said exposition. In ex pressing this choice, we take into considera tion the following very material facts: "I. That the holding of the exposition la San Francisco will bring into and across the entire state thousands of people who have never seen It nor had opportunity tu obwerve Its wonderful possibilities and ad vantages. ."2. That It. will afford the people of this state a splendid opportunity to advertise Its resources. "3. That it will benefit the cities and towns of our state for the reason that many visitors to the exposition will stop a, leaat temporarily and thereby form a better and more Intimate knowledge of our advantages and resources. "4. That It will greatly benefit tbe trans portation companies of this state. "For these reasons, as well as others, we express our preference for San Francisco. The chief clerk of this house Is directed to send a copy of this resolution to each of our senators and representatives." gtautp Art Rftlvrd and 1'assed. Although the usual custom of furnishing stamps to members of the house aggregat ing an amount of Hm during the session has been once definitely abandoned this year, It waa taken up again this morning and successfully carried through. The mem bers have many Inquiries for Information and copies of bills and hesitate to expend their own good pennies for postage, so when! Dostal of Butler moved to reconsider the former action he was vigorously sup ported. Gcraes of Richardson, who mad the fight against the resolution before, tried to have the amount cut down from 15 to 14 centa a day, but that failed a,lso. Twenty one republicans and thirteen democrats voted against the measure and it was car ried by en overwhelming vote. Prince of Hall, introduced a resolution to have a committee of five consult with the state auditor and treasurer and devise a system of auditing for all state accounts. The committee appointed was Gerdes, II. ti. Taylor. Harrington, Colton and McClellan. A bill declaring stock yards to be public markets and fixing the rates to be charged fur taking care of stock was Introduced lit the house by Representatives W..Z. Taylor and Frank Dolezul as 11. R. 80. The intro duction of thla bill recalls the long and bitter fight that waa made In the thirty first aesslon. of the house by Taylor and his friends tq get a similar measure through. The bill this year provides that charges for loading and unloading, water. Ing and weighing, shall not exceed S6 a load. Yarding, loading and watering charge are fixed at 20 oents per head, calves 8 cents, horses or mules 26 cants, hogs 6 centa and sheep 4 rents. Hay must not be charged for at a rate of mors than 15 cents per hundred pounds mors than the wholesale price In the same market on the same day, or similarly 35 cents over the wholesale price per bushel of corn. i stock yaids companies must file with the I State Railway commission annually an liteinUed account (f transactions and gross receipts and expenditure. The penalties run from a thw fine, to six months' lm- prison merit. There has aluas been considerable feel ing among the shippers represented In the legislatui o against the sl.uk yards as they are more or less hereditary enemies, but last set-Hlon the skillfull! efforts of a stock yards attorney, who held a seat in the ; senate were too much for them and the legislation was defeated. At one committee meeting ln the senate this Omaha lawyer appeaitd before his own colleagues as an attorney for (he stock yards and argued against the rates In the Taylor bill aa too low fur business administration.
