declined to give any answer “on the

requested Commissioner Frederick H.

Mr. Rogers' refusal, to the supreme

Before the opening of proceedings
It was announced that after today the
hearings will be transferred to the |
offices of a reporting company at 62
Wall street The first witness today j
was Mr*. Ida M. Butts, of Marietta,
Ohio.
Mr*. Butts said she was a step
daughter of Ihe late George Klee, of
Marietta, and had Iweu employed In
hi* office. Mr Rice wa* an indepen
dent oil operator and wa* engaged in
litigation with the Hiandard Oil Co
almost constantly for more than 20
years up to the time of his death,
about a year ago.
Whe n Mr lladloy asked the witness
If Rlee wan ever connected with the
Standard OH Co. counsel for all the
oil companies represented objected,
but the witness said:
If holding certificates Is a-member
ship ho was a member of the Stand
ard Oil trust.
"Were those rrrtlflratei Issued by
the Standard Oil trust?"
"Yes."
Counsel also objected to this que*
tion and answer.
Witness said the Standard OH com
pany was organised In 1882 Oeorge
JUco died last year anil witness now

lstratrlx.
•'So Far as 1 Know."
"So far its you know, are these the
only certificates of the Standard Oil
trust tn existence?”
"So far as I know," Mrs. Mutts re
plied. She said that suit was brought
against the Standard Oil company of
Ohio to drive them out of the trust
or out of the stale If they remained
In the trust. In response to a request
by Mr Hadley for a statement of the
hist on of that hllgtlott and what the
Standard Oil company did In defense,
Mrs, Bulls said:
"The Standard Oil trust moved to
dissolve In 1892. and these were liq
uidating trustee's certificates. This
went on until about 1899, very fss>
certificate* being liquidated. General
Munnctt, attorney general of Ohio,
brought suit and I think the supreme
court decided the trust should gel out
of Ohio In IS'J9. and then the Stand
ard Oil contpauv of New Jersey be
catne the holding company.”
Witness Thought So.
"Was this move, in 1592 to dissolve
the Standard Oil company nfier a
JutJgment of the Ohio courts against
the Standard Oil company of that
state?'' asked Mr. Hadley.
"1 think at.”
Mr. Hadley asked if after the ad
verse Judgment of the Ohio court the
Standard Oil company did not enter
ou a dissolution by using liquidating
certificates In place of the original
Oust certificate*, and If In 1899, when
the Ohio slate courts euforced the
order of d solution the Standard Oil
company of Now Jersey became the
bolding company.
NO TWO SKXSATION
Mr. Hagonnan objected, but Mr.
Hadley said he ha* a right under a
decision of the supreme court of Mis
aourt to ask leading questions.
Mrs. Butts said In replv lo Mr Had

exactly correct.
Mr. Hadley aaked If the Water*.
Pierce Oil company was one of the
original members of the Standard OH

One of the Companies.
Counsel objected, but Mrs. Butts re
plied: "It Is one of the companies
named in the trust agreement."
She never saw the original agree

A HOT FIGHT NOW WAGING
BETWEEN CAROLINA OFFICERS
THE MEAN3-GANTT MATTER 18
LIKELY TO FIGURE IN COMING
POLITICAL SITUATION.
STRONG REPLY IS
EXPECTED FROM GANTT
Means Says Gantt snd Himself Car
ried Keys to Hl* Office and He
Placed Book Which Wat Lost In a
Safe Place—Mr. Gantt it Now Sick
on His Farm.
(By Wm. Banks.)
COLUMBIA. 8. C.. .lan. (Bpe
dll.) —There will be something doing
; In Bouth Carolina polltlca before long.
1 It has been altogether too quiet of
late. For four ycara there has been
on political campaign and that on
which we are verging promises to
open up In grim earnest a .out tho
time the legislature assembles.
One of the matters which already
has come to a head Is the Issue be
tween Jesse T. Gantt, secretary of
state, and I). H. Means, clerk to the
sinking fund commission. The Inves
tigating committee, appointed hy tho
legislature, wss here taking evidence
lately. Mr Means does nt* appear to
have been satisfied with what, trans
pired, so he has written a full state
ment of his side of the esse. As a
result of this cdther Mr. Means of Mr.
Gantt must leave his official position.
Their differences of opinion are en
tirely too marked to permit of their
remaining In official connection with
the state’s business.
Means' Charge Strong.
Mr. Means charges In effect that he
had the custody of a book which wns
a chock on four booka of entry kept
by Mr. Gantt when the latter was
chief clerk to the secretary of state.
All of the charter fees paid to the
secretary of stato wore recorded in
those books. Mr. Means claims that
there were entries on Mr. Gannt's
four book culling for credits which
were not given to Mr. Means to be
recorded In Mr. Means' book. Mr.
Gantt explained at the time that the
amounts had not been paid to him.
The plain trend of Mr. Means' af
fidavit is thlt Mr. Gantt either vio
lated the law In granting charters for
fchleh no fees had been paid, or ho
had received the fees and had made
no note of the fact. Either charge is
grave when applied to a state of
fleer.
Makes Serious Statement.
Another clearly insinuating state
ment made by Mr. Means ia that the
books of the rflTice of the secretary of
state had not been audited for years.

DRY COUNTIES ENFORCE PRO
HIBITION BY OWN OFFICERS.
HIS MESSAGE NOW
BEING PRINTED
Legislature be Asked to Cut Out the
County Board* of Control as Use
less Expense and Dead Machinery.
To Amend the Law.
(By Wm. Banks.)
COLUMBIA, S. C.. Jen. 6.—(Spe
cial.) —Governor Heyward has sent In
his annual message to the state print
er. With reference to tho dispensary,
he will recommend that the county
boards of control be abolished as use
less expenses and complication of ma
chinery. He will recommend also
that in the counties which have voted
out tho dispensary the county author-
Jtle he charged with the enforcement
of prohibition. At present the respon
sibility is on the governor's office and
he thinks the county authorities would
act more in harmony If the constables
should be appointed hy the sheriff or
some other local officer of the law.
Retain the Dispensary.
Governor Heyward declined to indi
eat,, what would he his general policy
with reference to the law, preferring
appointed for this purpose, in a pure
ly formal manner as there was no rea
son for suspicion of any inaccuracies,
Mr. Gantt, according to Mr. Means'
statement, came to the latter gentle
man and urged him not to disclose
to the members of the committee the
existence of the four fee books. Mr.
Means states that he indignantly de
clined to do so, and Informed the
committee of the existence of Mr.
Gantt's four books and of his own
hook checking up on Mr. Gantt’s.
The committee did not make an Im
mediate examination of these books
and, before they could get around to
the final examination a fire occurred
in the office of the secretary of state
one Sunday night about 1 o'clock and
the fee books have not been seen since
that time.
His Book Taken Away.
In addition to this Mr. Means
three hours and was listened to wlthj
the greatest interest in detailing the
knowledge he gained from two visits
to the Philippines, the last one as a
member of the party of Secretary Taft
la*t summer. He paid particular at
tention to the tobacco feature of tho
measure.
Fought Filipino Freedom.
Mr. Mondell, of Wyoming, who has
led the fight against the bill in the
Interest of the beet sugar industry of
this country, spoke vigorously against
the measure and against the policy
of helping the Filipino people by
granting them open markets In the
United States. He said the passage
of tills bill would be the death knell
of the beet sugar Industry In the
l ulled States.
The abolition of the tariff on hides
was pleaded for by Mr. Lawrence, of
Massachusetts, who presented the po
sition taken by the republicans of
his state
Mr. Mill said the agricultural land
of the Philippines was but nine and
a half per cent of the total area. He
the witness not to answer.
William V. Rowe, a lawyer, also ob
jected and demanded that his objec
tion be noted. The commissioner de
clined to note the objection for the
reason, he said, that Mr. Rowe rep
resented nobody. "1 decline to an
swer." said Mr. Rogers.
The commissioner Instructed him to
answer. Mr. Hadley asked if Mr.
Roger* claims any personal privilege
under the laws of the Fulled Slates,
New York or Missouri?
"I claim my personal right.” said Mr.
Rogers.
"Do you mean that to answer you
might tend to Incriminate you or sub
ject you to penalty or forfeiture?" ask
ed Mr. Hadley. "I do not," said Mr.;
Rogers."
Objects to ths Camera.
Mr. Rogers here objected to the
presence of a photographer, who. he
said, was taking his picture. The
photographer was told to desist.
Mr. Hadley asked whether If the
supreme court ordered him to answer
he would then refuse?
Mr. Risers said: "It will be de
cided at the time."
"By whom?" "That also shall be
determined at the time.”
"By whom?" Mr. Rogers did not
answer.
"I Am a Director."
"Are you connected with the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, the Wa
ters Pierce Oil company of Missouri,
or with the Republic 011 company of
New York?" asked ar. Hadley.
"Yes. with the Standard OH com
pany ot Indiana, as director," replied
Mr Rogers.
to wait for the legislature to meet and
for his message to bo read, but It Is
believed that be will recommend that
the dispensary law per se be retained
and be amended so as to do away
with unsatisfactory conditions.
The dispensary Investigating com
mittee will go before the legislature
with a request for more power before
It will submit Its final report. This
committee has spent the $3,000 appro
printed by the general assembly and
has borrowed $4,000 additional. It
is said that a part of the fund re
mains unexpended.
Senator Blease has offered a reso
lution that an Itemised account of ex
penses be rendered to the legislature,
Mr. Blease and some of the other
members of the committee do not seem
to have acted in harmony and it is
not known whether or not this mo
tion was made for the purpose of
"showing up" the expenses, but the
expenses will be examined with In
terest when the report Is given out.
Special Attorney Working.
Senator Christensen and Mr. Fraser
Lyon, who have worked indefatigably
on this case, state that they have
employed a special graft attorney to
work up evidence and this will be one
of the heavy expenses of the Invest!
Ration. The attorney, Mr. Klingen
berg, of Washington. Is reported to
have visited the office of every dis
tillery with which the dispensary has
ever done business. Ills report may
create a wild sensation In this state
or may prove to be a failure. At
any rate matters are simmering and
the pot may soon boil over.
claims that his own book, in a sep
arate office entirely, removed by a
hallway from the office of toe secre
tary of state, disappeared. He con
tends that he had put the book in a
place of safety known perhaps to
hlinself and Mr. Gantt alone. He
makes affidavit that Mr. Gantt had a
key to his office.
Reply Expected From Gantt.
Mr. Gantt has not been very well
lately and has removed to his farm
on the outskirts of Columbia. He was
not in his office yesterday or today
and it is not known what kind of
reply he will make to Mr. Means'
statement. But Mr. Gantt can hantTle
a pen with vigor and it is expected
that there will be some warm rending.

“As a stockholder?” asked Mr. Had-’

Mr. Howe advised w itness not to i
answer. The commissioner told Mr. |
Rowe not to Interrupt.
Mr. Hagerman objected to the ques- 1
tion and said he wanted the right of:
Mr. Hadley to meet at the last of
the stockholders of the company to
be decided by the courts.
Is Witness Telling Truth?
Mr. Hadley said the question bore
on the creditability of the witnesses
as showing his Interest.
John D. Johnson, of counsel for the
companies, said the state called Mr.!
Rogers and should not question his,
creditability.
"I beg respectfully to he excused,"'
said Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Hadley then asked that the
question and refusal to answer be
certified to the supreme court.
Do you know who ow ns a majority i
of the stock of the Standard OH com-1

Mr. Rowe again advised Mr. Rogers;

told him he would have to request him

SOME TRICKS IN THE
TRADE OF S. C.
DISPENSERS
TWO STRIKING DEALS WERE
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
THIS WEEK.
Empty Cases Carried and Returned
as Stock of Goods—One Dispenser
After Being Fired Ordered a Lot of
Goods and Sold Cases.
(By Wm. Banks.)
COLUMBIA. S. C., Jan. 6.—(Spe
cial.) —The session of the dispeneary
InvestigrJUng commission in Colum
bia this week was productive of no
results except to bring out the fact
that the dispenser at Beaufort was
$2,400 short when last checked up be
fore he was discharged. He had been
carrying empty cases in his stock
and returned them as full cases in
stock.
Empties Were Discovered.
The commissioner having had his
attention called to the disreputable
actions of some dispensers ordered
that the inspectors cease to take the
word of dispensers that, cases were
full when apparently in stock. In
spector Nichols made an examination
of the cases In Walsh’s dispensary
in Beaufort and found that the cases
representing $2,400 on the stock lists
were entirely empty. There has been
no prosecution.
Another matter brought out was the
"Yankee trick” played by Dispenser
Hollis in Fairfield county. The Rich- j
land Distilling company had announc- I
ed to dispensers that it would send
50 bottles in cases supposed to con
tain 48. and that it would pay 25
cents each for empty cases returned
to the distillery in Columbia. This
was looked upon as a bait or a bribe,
to get the dispensers to order the
goods of the Richland distillery in
preference to the goods of same
grade turned out by other dealers.,
Hollis lost his job on the lath of one j
month and was to go out of office on
the first day of the succeeding month.
Bought a Lot of It.
Although his stock by inventory
showed only *2.000 at that time, and
his sales for an entire year but $15.-
000, yet Hollis in the 15 days between
his defeat for re-election and turning
over the keys of the dispensary or-'
dered out SB,OOO worth of liquor from
the Richland distillery and in the two
weeks received two extra bottles for
every 48 ordered
tion has not eradicated this condi
tion.” continued Mr. Ciayton.
"O! yes." replied Mr. Hill, "and
we would have slavery in this country
today if it had not been for that great,
republican party."
Mr. Hill reviewed at length the to
bacco industry In the Philippines, ex
plaining the primitive methods of to
bacco culture and the limited manu-;
fature of smoking and chewing to-;
baeco and cigars. He said single sac-l
lories in the United States make
more than the entire output of manu
factured tobacco in the Philippines.
U. S. Has Nothing To Fear.
Mr. Hill said a careful study of to
bacco production in the Islands and
the export tobacco trade had persuad
ed him that the United States has
nothing to fear from competition with
Philippine tobacco because of its In
feriority and the impossibility of ex
tensive tobacco culture in the is
lands.
! Speaking of the argument that the
cheap labor of the Orient would be
brought in direct competition with
American tobacco workers by a re
duction of the duty on Philippine to
bacco. Mr. Hill called attention to
the fact that American exclusion laws
keep Chinese out of the islands and
contract labor cannot be employed
He said practically all the cigar and
i cigarette makers are Filipinos, few
Chinese being now employed. As all
work of this sort is piece work he said
a man's earnings increase as his abil
ity Increases. Mr. Hill said the manu
facture of a first class hand made
cigars in Manila is almost as expen
sive as in the United dates.

BIG FORGEDY OF N.
& IN. COMMON
STOCK
DETECTED BY PICTURE OF EN
GINE BEING TURNED WRONG
WAY—BROKERS WILL LOSE ON
ALL THEY HANDLED.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. C.—A num
ber of forged certificates of the com
mon stock of the Norfolk and West
ern railroad have recently been detect
ed. It is not known how many of
these fraudulent certificates are in
circulation, but eight certificates of
100 shares each have been discover
ed. Detectives have been at work on
the ease for several days and they
are reported to have learned that a
New York brokerage firm is involved.
MORE THAN $77,000 WORTH.
NEW YORK, Jan. fi.—More than
$77,000 worth of forged Norfolk and
Western stock certificates have been
offered to the public. The New York
stock exchange announced today that
such certificates for 300 shares of’
this stock have already been
and it is not known how many
may be in existence.
Shares of Norfolk and Western were
quoted at. SBG each on the stock ex
change today. The forgery was dis
covered only a few days ago. Detec
tion was made through a mistake in
printing an inch and a quarter long
picture of a locomotive on the cer
tificates. In the genuine certificates
this engine appears headed towards
the left, whereas on the forgeries it
is headed to the right. It was an
nounced that the Norfolk and West
ern Railway company is not liable for
any loss sustained by brokers by
whom the certificates are passed.
