Jan. 2.5.--(Special.1 roe is to be a lor.g hard fight before any pee food bill get through this congress Usual the senate seems to be selected ly the representatives of the special interests to protect therm Patent mc-dleine men, many of the packers, et compounders of whisky.

and other intermits, all have representativts here now, and although the fight has not at all reached an vats rage there are indications that certain mugs are preparieg to oppose the bill on poenal principles. It was said at first that the packers are cot generally opposed to a pure food bill. provided it did not attempt to Interfere with the Use of harmles3 preservatives. They claimed it was impossible to put up meat for eIpment any distance without making use soma chemical on. the outside to prevent decompnpaition.

To provide for the packers a special section was inserted in the Hepburn bill which excepts from the prohibitions of the proposed tha temporary preservatives which are ruhed off the outside preparationor which ars applied that they do enter into the composition as a food product. To satisfy the retailers and larg? jobbers who would etspoes of the products and therefore be the trat ones to be prosecuted. a stction was touted providing the seller should be protected if he depended upon a guarantee made ha good faith by the manufacturer. These two, and some other sections-6in the rze food bill as it is before he house and aerate appear to satisfy the objections made ty honest dealers and manufacturers who feared they would be made victims of arCnial standards set up for them by the government or. on the other hand, would have to suffer for selling it, good faith artides of food they believe to be pure and properly branded.

Cleve lard. Oa Jan, and fraud In the Inception of the Republic Oil company is charged agalnet the Standard oil comparty by Attorney General Hadley of Missouri.

Testimony to support these charges was given today by Louis H. Turret', a former secretary and treasurer of the Republic 011 company. He was the only witness examined on this, the first day of the Cleveland investigation of the oil truste affairs. but he ripped wide open the secrets of John D. Rockefeller and some of his associates.

Further, Turret' supplied the evidence for which Attorney General Haalley worked in vain to extract from Henry H. Rogers and others in New York. Turretl swore that the Republic Oil company was organized by the Standard oil company; that all Its stoek was owned by the Standard Oil; that the 'officers and directors were Standard Oil employ: and that they were instructed to pose as officers of an independent company engaged in fighting Standard OIL Case for Grand Jury. Attorney General Hadley said this evening that Turrell's evidence warrants criminal proceedings under the laws of New 'York. Ile continued: Louis H.

Turret', the accountant, of Detroit, and for fourteen years an emptcya of the Standard Oil company. sho has been on the stand all day. has given us the best exposure of. Standard Oil methods of anything which we have yet obtained. I shall send a copy of his testimony to District Attorney Jerome of New York, with the request that It be thoroughly examined, and that criminal be brought against the parties guilty of causing a false signature to be attached to articles of incorporation.

Mr. Turret' has sworn here today that he was induced by Standard 011 officials to sign the name of F. A. Turret' to the documents, when in reality his name is Louis Turret'. Ills testimony further shows that his Cs-nature was never sworn to, and the notary who took his affidavit can, under the laws of New York, be prosecuted for forgery in the first degree.

It will be up to Mr. Jerome to say whether the persons who induced Turret' to sign his name falsely can be in-eluded in the prosecution." Surprise for "the System." TurreWs evidence came as a surprise to the Standard Oil attorneys. He was discharged from the Standard Oil company's employ two years ago. For more than a year Attorney General Hadley has been searching for him. for Turret' was one of the three original incorporators of the Re-public Oil company.

But Mr. Hadley was looking for him under the name of F. A. Turrell." which appeared in and was signed to the articles of incorporation of the Republic Oil company. As Mr.

Hadley was leaving New York at the conctusion of his investigation there he received a letter from Mr. Turret', who offered to reveal all the knowledge and information on the ownership of the Republic Oil company by the Standard that he had. On Attorney General Hadley's solicitation Mr. Turret' came to Cleveland and Wednesday night met the Missouri attorney general at the Hollenden hotel and told the story of the secret workings of the oil trust as regards the Repttblic Oil company. Names the Alleged Forger.

A. T. Doremus, notary public and statistician in the Standard Oil company's New York office. is named by Attorney General Hadley as the perpetrator of the alleged forgery. But, as was shown by today's testimony.

all the business of the Standard Oil company and its subsidiary cempanies are controlled by a few men, the employs being mere puppets. and Attorney General Hadley believes that a New York grand jury under District Attorney Jerome's guidance can go back of Doremus and find the real violators of the law. Only the mere mechanical work of the forgery. Attorney General Hadley believes. was committed by DOTeM11.

According to the testimony of Turret', Doremus. as notary public, attached to the articles of Incorporation of the Republic Oil company his sworn statement that Turret' was personally known to him. and that Turret' had appeared before him ore June 1. 1901, and sworn to articles of Incorporation. In this statement Doremus also said he knew that Turret" was a resident ef New York.

These statements are denied by TurrelL Ile testified that he never appeared before Dortmus, that he had rever seen the ma. and never had made any oath as to the articles of incorporation. Turrell said Lis place of residence was not New York. but at that time was at St. Joseph.

Mo. Was a Standard Oil Concern. Mr. Turret'. in his detailed testimony.

gave the facts concerning the formation of the Republic Oil company of Cleveland. which Mr. Iladley holds to be a Standard Oil con' cern. Turret' stated' that in 1901, while in St. Joseph, he was called to the Standard Oil company's offices' in New York.

and was asked to become a director and stockholder In a new oil company, which afterwards proved to be the Republic Oil company. Ile stated that he was induced to sign articles of Incorporation as F. A. Turret', inetead of Louts IL Turrell, and was asked to say nothing about being a Standard Oil Mr. Turret' then gave a complete history of all the transactions in the organization of the Republic Oil company.

He stated that he subscribed to 300 shares of stock for which he did not pay a cent, and that he was made secretary and treasurer and a director of the company, and was given charge of the accounting system in the Cleveland field at 26 Broadway. He testified as to meetings of the directors of the Republic company at the Standard company's offices at 26 Broadway.

The essence of Mr. Stickney's speech Is contained in the following paragraph: The law of self-preeervation. as well se of Carness and justice. demands that the people. through the government.

should con- trol railway rates by law. The time, has come when congress should provide a com- mission to investigate actual facts. and hi, systematic arrangement and consideration dtscover the principles of reasonable railway rates." Going Into fuller detail, be said; The railways have not been altogethee ito blame for the rebates. Attention is called to the evident fact that no railway can commit the rebate crime alone. It takes at least two.

the shipper as well the railway- rience has proven that. until the universal railway monopoly shall be effected by consolidation into two of three, or perhaps one huge corporation. the large shippers at cornpetitive points have irresistible power to get lower rates than small shippers Rebates Sustain Trade lionopolies. Experience has proven that under pres- ent conditions. without effective support from the law, railways are powerless to pre vent rebates and kindred devices.

and experts ence has proven that. as long as rebates exist. no manufacturing or mercantile bust? nese Is safe. It Is a notorious and undisputed fact that most of the great trade monopolies of this country are founded stnd sustained by the rebate in connection with the protece tive tariff, which has. in effect, taxed the pee pie hundreds of millions of dollars.

tot to produce revenue for the government but to enrich trade monopolies. It is my conclusion that, because the railways have assumed the common law obliged tion of common carriers, and because they are public highways, it Is fair and rIght to control their rates by law. and that. because railways are monopolies. the law of self-preservation, as veil as of fairnees and justice, demands that the people.

through the government. should control railway rates by law. Such laws, however. to be effective. must be fair and just and intelligently directk cd to substantial facts.

ythich are the basis of reasonable rates. Lauds Roosevelt for Stand. "The country is Indebted to Theodor, Roosevelt for the couregccue course be has taken in regard to legislative control of rates. Ile has recommended that whenever the tea-Le sonabieriess et any rate is challenged the I legislative commission, after full I tIon. shall have the power to determine and put a rate which the CGMMISE1071 shall deem just tied reaeonable.

And if thos principle le incorporated in the bill. it will be an assertion on the part of coegreas of Its right to fix all railway rates. For this purpose the enactment of such a law will be immerstly valuable. because it will be a precedent in future legislation. when the whose problem shall come gently before coegrees in the final contest which will.

sooner or later. come. Congressional committees and the inter-la state commission have produced a surfeit ot expert opiniens by expert witnesses. and I submit that the time has come when cenle geese should provide a CuttIMIS1011 to leveetigate actual facts anti by go, attematic arrangement and cereideration discover the principles of reesonable railroad rates.
