MACON, GA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1908 EIGHT PAGES DAILY. »7M A YEAR, TO TO BITTER END Issues First Statement Since lie Was Shot By Tool of Graft King SAN FRANCISCO. Nor. 28—Fruv els J. Heney, who was shot down In Judge Lawlor’s court room by Morris Haas, has aufflclently reoovered from the effects of the bullet wound to dic tate a statement to the public. The K rosecutor thanks Almighty God for Is life and declares providence di rected the bullet which crashed through his Jaw. He charges that corrupt men leveled the weapon, and calls upon his friends to help In the war on crime. His statement follows: “I humbly thank Almighty God for my miraculous escape from death. It was the corruption of man that lev eled the murderous weapon, but a di vine providence directed the bullet. Henceforth my life shall be conse crated to the Just enforcement of the law and to the principle that no man shall be above the law. Great Human Battle Against Vice. "In this great human battle against vice and corruption let no one believe that the true source Is to be found In the Individual dynamiters, Jury bribers, kidnapers and assassins, and th.-t their extermination means ulti mate victory. Such beings aro but the bubbles emanating from the pool of filth that him been years in making. Ti • sied hag been sown and we must reap the harvest, but In gathering the t*ra»; let us be satisfied with nothing but the roots. Plea Against Tolerance of Crime. • Let us all now highly resolve that we shall not only not tolerate crime In any form, but that we shall likewise ca»t out and discredit the tolerators, th«> apologlsers and the abettors ot crlrv.e; that Justice shall not be made a mockery In our courts either by vio lent methods or through debased per formances of men. professional or otherwise, sworn to uphold the law; that the plausible shall not be ac cepted for the true, whether uttered by the higher ups or lower downs, by honest-minded weak men or by de signing trimmers. Greetings and Thanks to Pqblio. "It has been a terrible sacrifice, but if my blood has not been shed In vain, If the assassin's bullet has suddenly disclosed to the public eye the hide- ousness of the gigantic conspiracy to defeat the law, then I shall feel that I have not lived In vain, that my poor efforts have met with Immeasurable benefit to mv beloved city and state. "Toward the poor, wretched lrtstru- ment of this crime I have no feei.ng but pity. "To my friends <and the public who hare so long and so faithfully stood by me and cheared mo on during days of hope and during days of despair, and to all those who have helped by word, deed or thought In this last tragic battle, 1 send my heartfelt greetings and thanks.” . The seriousness of tho wound which SECRETS OIL TRUST BARED BY KELLOGG RECENT HEARING BRINGS OUT MUCH OF INNER HISTORY OF THE STANDARD. NEW YORK. Nov. 28—Since the hearings in the case of the government against the Standard Oil Company thousands of words of testimony have been taken and two witnesses have be^n examined. These witnesses, J, D. Rockefeller, president of the trust and John D. Archbold, vice president, were called by the corporation’s law yers. The former was subjected to a searching cross-examination at the hands of Chief Prosecutor Kellogg, of the federal forces, many hidden se crets of the company were laid bare and many facta were established fo» which the prosecution has long been on a hunt. The mor© salient facts brought out during the six sessions are hereby pre sented: First—It was established that the Standard OH Company was not a pio neer In the oil field. It was not the first discoverer of oil, it was not the first builder of barrels In which oil was transported, nor the first to at tempt pipe line transportation or tank storage It reached its present pr“ perlty by borrowing vast sums at Interest and buying and improving the holdings of weaker corporations. Rockefeller Starts With $4,000. Second—That as a member of the firm of Andrews. Clark & Co., John D. Rockfeller started In the oil busl ness with $4,000: that the business pro gressed until In 1907 alono the profits amounted to $80,000,000. behind which was a reserve fund of $300,000,000. In eight years the earnings amounted . $67,000,000. Dividends In all amount ed to $591,000,000. Enormous sums, sometimes as high as $32,000,000 have been kept In Wall street and loaned on stocks and bonds. By adroit ques tioning Mr. Kellogg drew out the fact that the present stock of the Stan dard Is $98,338,000. Mr. Rockefeller himself began as a personal borrower, getting $2,opo with no other collateral than his ruddy cheek* and frank man ner from T. P. Handy, a banker of Cleveland. Th|r«S—That no sooner had the Stan dard Oil Company become prosperous than It watered Its stock. In 1882 the appraised value of the properties of the varldus companies was $55,710.- 898. Immediately trust certificates were Issued for $70,000/ Fourth—That the company bought firm after firm, plant after plant and dock privilege after dack privilege and that in one Instance It entered Into a contract to restrain trade by restrict ing the output of oil. Ii\ July. 1870, Mr. Rockefeller personally, negotiated a contract whereby the firm of. Scho field. Shurmer & Teagle. of Cleveland, should not use over 85.000 barrels of crude oil In any -year, The firm was to be g\ .. of $35,000 annually, but tho balance of profit up to. $70,000 was to belong to the Standard, above this profits,.were, to be divided. Later the Standard sued for vlo- iff "firmly but gently.” and warehouse privi leges were gobbled up In New York and elsewhere. Mar *“* — also acquired. [any terminal privileges were How Rebates Sprang Up. railroads. As early as 1872 John D. Rock efeller bought 180 shnres of stock In the South Improvement Comnany and Wm Rockefeller and Mr. Flagler, his assocl ates, bought more. This company stood very close to the Pennsylvania railroad and the Standard looked for rebates. Be- Heney received can best be described latlon of contract, but the papers have In the words of. Dr. Beasley, who hi ' disappeared from the cltv clerk’s office attended the patient unceasingly since m Cievelsnd. Competitor* in the manu he was shot. factors of kerosene oil were squeezed out ‘‘He Is In bully condition," remarked “■* the surgeon yesterday, and It is all due to his wonderful determination and recuperative power. That Haas* bullet, did not end Heney’a life is, without exception, one of the most re markable accidents I have ever wit nessed In my medical career. That he Is now able to sit tip and has full pos session of all his faculties Is another. Wound Very Dangerous. "The rapidity with which Heney has recovered would lead any one to be lieve that the wound was superficial. Contrary to this. It was most danger ous. extending as It did directly through his he.ad, and missing by only the slightest fraction of an Inch Important veins and arteries, the sev ering of any one of which would have ended his Ufa. "Although we all consider Mr. He ney out of danger -■•w, he must have the utmost care and attention. His apparent vigor, while encouraging and admirable, does not by any means In dicate that the serious stage has passed. He will be attended con stantly for some time to come." SURGEON’S TOOLS SCARE Rip DEATH TRUCKMAN PALES AND EXPIRES AS HE IS PLACED ON OPERAT* t INC TABLE. NEW YORK. Nov. 28—Daniel Qulg. ley. forty-nine year* old, of No. 264 West 124th street, was driving a truck laden with heavy stones up the steep Boscobei avenue hill under the Wash ington bridge ivefcterday aftYynjoon. when, at 117th street, he slipped from left foot. Quigley was about to bandage his foot himself when a policeman sug gested his removal to Fordham Hospi tal. and called an ambulance. When Quigley was carried Into the operating ward and saw the doctors end nurses grouped around the table he became very nervous and asked Dr. Platzek. the house physician, if hia case was serious. "No.” said the doctor, "your Injury truckman refused to be reassured and as he woe being lifted onto the operat- Ing table he grew pale and died In an orderly's arms. The physicians do not believe the man’s heart was weak, but that the sight of the doctors, nurses and sur gical instruments actually scared him to death. How is Your OfQtstlon. Mrs. Mary Dowling, of No. 2*8 Eighth kvenue. San FYanciseo. recom mends a remedy for stomach trouble. She says: ‘‘Gratitude for the wonder ful effect of Electric Bitters In a case of acute Indigestion, prompts this tes timonial.

Scott, tho latter of the Pennsyl vania railroad, signed rebating agree ments. 8cott had been Interested In the South Improvement Company. By virtue of this agreement the ^Standard was to transport a certain number of barrels «vf oil over the Pennsylvania lines and In turn was to bb granted a 10 per cent rebate.

Sixth—It was established that the Standard began buying up oil-producing propertlas In 1890. shortly after the "shut- in" movement that It Joined with S Bthers In atte> ting to restrict the pro- Buctlop, and failed.
