favor of the proposition.
The matter ro In connection with the
joint resolution for the amendment of the
constitution recently reported from the

The situation was such as to arouse the
Immediate Interest of, the senators. Mr.
Sutherland was prompt In obtaining the at
tention of the chair. He wanted to amend
the resolution so aa to strike out the pro
vision riving the state leglslaures super
vision of elections and making other
changes.
ment went to the heart of the question
there should be time for consideration.
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. "The ayes appear to
have II." announced the chair.
"NeverT" exclaimed a half doen sen
ators. "I.et us have tha ayes and noes."
Vote Against Adjournment.
' Accordingly a roll t all was ordered, with
the result that forty-three of tha sixty aen-
' ators present voted against adjournment I

said, and added he would not do so If he

w ith the request. . Mr. Borah's colleague,
(Senator Heyburn, had not said a word tip
to tliis time, but when the chair put the
request for unanimous consent he aald
"no" and spoiled tha entire plan.
Mr. Borah seemed, displeased and pro
ceeded to discuss the situation, saving the
Sutherland amendment had been offered
In committee ana waa perfectly understood,
as was the general propoaltlon.
Mr. Carter did not agree. He wanted
time for ooiiHlderation and for the diges
tion of the Hutherland and other amend
ments which by this time had been pre
vented by Senators Depew and Nelaon.
Mr. Cullom preferred a request for an
executive session. Such requests by 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.
"No; he couldn't." rtspotuhd Mr. Kl
lofcg. purchaser of the barn gave notl-e that
the barn would be juoved. Hiienther gave
the beur to the Kagle a lodge under certain
conditions, and awoke bruin to take him
lo the rJttgics' property. "Teddy" had no
