Archbold tesumed the stand for a brief examina tion and Henry 'J Ilford, president of the Htundard OH Company, of California, tf stifled at some length as a wltnesa for defense.

Mr. Tilford raid he tied little knowledge of these contracts. Referring to nil trade rate rutting wnr* In Colorado end In the west Mr. Tilford said the Standard never (id prices to undersell Its competitors, but simply lowen-d rates to meet duetlnna of its rivals. *' Tilford'* examination likely will nctuded tomorrow and either V/||- Rockefeller or Frank A.

Little Dealers Forced Out. Mr. Archbold said th* establishment of marketing stations to compete with the rival* of th* fltandard naturally forced amall dealers and Jobbers grad ually from th* field. Regarding th* fltandard Oil Company, of Indiana. Mr. Arohbold said It was ori ginally capitalised for $1,000,000 and had borrowed large autna from other compa- nb'H which It had paid out of earnings.

On cross-examination Mr. Kellogg de veloped that the Continental OH Com pany In 1901 made 111.10 per cent on tta capital stock. The purpose of the gov ernment Inquisitor was to show that the price* charged for oil product* In the west were not warranted.

NBW TORK. Dec. T.—Proeltfenl' elect William H. Taft, vriio came to Now York today to address ths North Carolina floclety of this cKy, waa given a tumultuous reception tonight by the members of the organisation and by prominent men of all parts of the south at the annual dinner ol the North Carolinians, at the Hotel Astor. Five hundred members and K ests of <the society Ailed the bril- ntly decorated banquet hill, which was redolent of the pines of the Tar heel state, the cones and branches of th* resinous trees forming tbk back ground for more fragrant blooms which were scattered everywhere over snowy linens and fler-draped walls. Intertwined ensigns of the state and nation were conspicuous In the deco rations of the banquet hall and larger' flags were displayed in front of ths hotel throughout the day and even ing. Mr. Taft, In the course of on ad dress which was confined entirely to the south and Its problsms. urged again that the voters of south should break away from th e outlived senti ment and traditions of their past po litical afrillaUons and cast their bal lots In aooordance rather with their economic and real political beliefs. Taft Would Unify Sections. Mr. Taft declared that nothing would give him greater pride during hla coming term In lh* chief executive office than to so direct the policy of tho national government with respect to the southern states as to convince the latelllgent dtlxeni of th* south of tho desire of his admlnlatratlon to Md them In working out satisfactorily the serious problems before them and of bringing them and their northern fel low cltlxena closer and closer In sym pathy and point of view. At tho conclusion of practically every on# of his pointed sentences Mr. Taft waa Interrupted by applaus# and cheering. He frankly expressed him self regarding tho so-called “njgro question.” and declared that neither ha nor the Republican party had any Idea of forcing upon the people of the south the dominance of an Ignorant class. Judge Taft’* Speech. After paying a tribute to North Carolina, which, he «a!d, presented an admirable type of present conditions in the south, the public spirit of Its clttscns. progress of Its industries and tho charming companionship which the northerner always found there, the speaker pointed out that the laws'were made for the north and the aouth ana tho functions of tho government ex tended from tho CanMjIan border ti the Gulf of Mexico, and led up to this question: "What ts It that sets the south' 1 apart and taken from the southern (peo ple the responsibilities which the mem bers of a republic ought to share In respect to the conduct of the national government?" He'continued: "Why la It that what la done at Washing ton seems to be tho work of ths north and the west, and not of the south? Should this atafe of affairs continue? Theao are tho question that force themselves on those of us ooncerncd , with the government, and who are i most anxllus to have a solid, united j country, of whose will the course of tho government shall bo an Intelligent Interpretation and expression. We can answer these questions as the his torian would and wo can explain tho situation as It Is; but I do not think w* can Justify or excuse a contin uance of K. Looking back Into tho past, of course, the explanation of tho difference between the SQUth and the other two sectllons was In th# In stitution of slavery. It Is of no pur pose to point out that early In the history of tho country th# north was os responsible for bringing slave* hero as the south, because wo are not con cerned with whose fault It waa that there wa# such an Institution as slav ery. Nor are we concerned with tho probability that, had tho northerners been Interested In slaves, they would have Viewed the Institution exactly aa the southerners view It, and would have fourht to defend It, because It was as sacred as the Institution of private property Itself. It does not help In th# slightest degree In th# preaept day to stir up the embers of the controversy of the past by attempt ing to flx# th# blame on on# part of the country or the other tn respect to an Institution which has gone and hap pily gone, on the one hand, or In re spect to the consequences of that In stitution whkh we still have with us on the other. These consequences we are to recorntte as a condition and a fact and a problem for solution, rather than as an occasion for crimi nation or recrimination with respect to whoee fault they may tnvolva.
