NEW YORK, Oct 21.—The Wash ington correspondent of the World says In a special: Has the Htandard OH Company been persistently favored by the Roosevelt administration over other companies socking concessions In Oklahoma? The foots established by official doc uments seemingly justify nn affirma tive answer. These facts, which aro admitted by officials of the government, art: 1. That the Prairie OH and On* Co. Is a subsidiary of the Standard OH Co. and has a monopoly of the oil transportation business of Oklahoma. 2. That the Prulrie Oil and Gag Co. secured Its original pipe line permit 3. That the company has persistent ly refused to conform to the regula tions promulgated by Beoretary of the Interior Hitchcock and that Its refusal has been sustained by Becretary Gar field In a modification of the Hitchcock order of 190$. under tho terma of which the company is now the only plpr lino company In Oklahoma that lias been given inch permit. 4. That the company hna been os pedally favored by a special set o; regulations drawn to conform to th* demand mad*? by the general counsel of the Htandard OH Company, that the corporation need not avow Itaelf "common carrier,” B. That thla regulation, which equivalent to a contract between 1 government nnd the Htandard t Company, gives tho Standard « for OelK-ston.

That the. favoritism shown the Standard OU Co. by the Roosevelt ad-< ministration woe in deflance of tho- policy of the interior department, and was made ih th® face of a personal protest by Mr. Hitchcock when he wav secretary of that department. i Got Congress to Act *' Secretary* Hitchcock reached the con-- cluslon early In the flrst 'administra tion of Tresldent Roosevelt that the Htandard OH Company, through the Pmltie Oil and Gna Company, its sub sidiary company, was trying to mo- ' hopollze the oil business of Oklahoma. After vainly appealing to Mr. Hitchcock to issue permits to It to construct pipe lines, the Standard went to its friend* In congress In 1904. It appealed to Mr- Sherman, now tho republican candi date fo vice president; Senator Pen rose, of Pennsylvania, nnd Representa tive Vreelnnd, of New York. Tho re sult was the passago of a bill to per mit the construction of pipe lines under conditions to be Imposed by tho secretary of tho Interior. Mr. Hitchcock refused to make th* . < sort of conditions tho Standard wnnt-8^ ed. Tho into Gov. Higgins, of New York, wroto to President Roosevelt complaining of Mr. Hltchcock’a sptlon and urging him to Intercede with Mr. Hitchcock nnd have thn permit grant ed. President Rooaovolt did so, nnd Mr. Hitchcock, under protest, Iiwu<-d tho permit In April. 1904. It wns with in a few weeks of this tlmo that thn Htandard Oil Company contributed in a lump aurn $100,000 to tho republican national campnlgn fund. Secrotnry Hitchcock stoutly contend ed that his policy in dealing with th* oil Industry of Oklahoma was being overriden by the president through po litical influence. In order to vlndlerasi his position Becretnry Hitchcoeg sued a pnmphlet giving the exact facts about tho transaction. Tho pamphlet appeared during the New York stnlo campnlgn in 1006, when Mr. Hughe: when ho learned of the action or hi* secretary of the interior and wlr-1 from Oyster Bay to hav* tho pnmph- let snmressed. Agents of the Interior department collected it from the news paper offices In Washington nnd New York and a copy Is not now obtain able. All the copies of It. wero ship ped to Oyster iBay. Secretary Hitchcock followed up hie wnr on the Standard by Issuing an or der rendering all pipe line privilege* subject to the control of the laws of Oklahoma, which hnd the effect of making them ’'common carriers” snd requiring them as such to transport the oil of any company, whether con trolled by the Standnrd or any other producing concern. The Standard then refused to transport tho oil of the in* dependent producers. Modified the Order. Complaints from independent rre* ducers wero referred to Secretary Gar-« field, who hod succeeded Mr. Hltoi- cock. That official demanded that the Standard comply with the "common currier” order. Tho Htandard refus ed nnd Mr. Garfield Anally agreed tn modify tho Hitchcock order -by elimi nating tho “common carrier” clause.. Thoro was ft howl of protest from the independent producers, which Inspired Mr. Garfield to Issue another ord.»<* characterizing th© construction of pipe lines by the Hlnndnrd rh "extensions;* not subject to the Oklahoma Jaw relate ing to “common carriers.” President Roosevelt caused the In* terlor department to deny the charge that the administration had favored the Standard 0!l Company In the fol lowing letter written by Assistant Sec retary Peirce: ’The secretary of the Interior ha* never treated one applicant better or worse than another and has alwaye enforced his rules without favor, re pealing or changing them for one rea son—namely. to make them moro ef fectively curry out th* Intent of tho law nnd Insuro protection to.the interest* of nil tho people.” Tho statement, as If to excuse th* favor shown the Standard Oil Com pany, added that It had been the prac tice of the department “to allow ant* plpo lino company which had already constructed n line to extend that lln* If thn public Interest flgmanded." It is no secret In cabinet circles thaf the friends of Mr. Hitchcock believe h« was forced out of the cabinet hccaus* he persistently refused to aeoede to th* demands of th* Standard OH Company. The defenders of Gov. Haskell of Okla homa any he VU branded by President Roosf volt an the tool of the Standard Oil Company because, as governor oe Oklahoma, he sought to protect the ■any In tho exercise of the very rights which the president 1 tration hnd conferred upon It a* a ape-* clal favor. i We are making a run on Lumber Mill Blocks at $1.25, Get a supply as the price will soon advance. ; Redmond-Massee Fuel Co.
