Rockefeller and a dozen other trust magnates to prison for a long term of years ll and one of the most vital que?- C' tions before the people will have ^ been solved," declared Wm. J. ^ Bryan yesterday at a banquet ^ given in his honor by Dr. Sol O ' cc Dickey, president of Winona j Lake Ass?mhlv. "President Roosevelt and otheis 11 are now bringing to successful issue the principles and ideas I f advocated 17 years ago,'' Mr. nl * Bryan continued. <kThis is par- 8* rti ticularly true as regards the tariff. The President is compiling my future speeches for me." Hi Mr. Bryan took a fling at the w President's Cabinet, sayiug that there was not a man in it who agreed with ^Roosevelt. Referr ing to the controversy between the United Slates and Japan Mr. B.'yan, who, during his trip around the world visited the n< Eastern Empire, said a little more m backbone at Washington would ai settle the difficulties for all time ^ to come without a conflict betweeu the two nations. ai Rockefeller as a "Witness? His Answers about Standard Oil Co. Unsatisfactory. . bi Chicago, July 6.?John D. ^ Rockefeller, president of the ^ Standard Oil Company, of New ^ Jersey, occupied the witness stand in the U. tt. District Court ^ today while Judge Landis piled ^ him with questions regarding J the financial strength and busi-> ness methods ot the corporation ^ of which he is the head. ^ Mr. Rockefeller was a very willingand equally unsatisfactory ^ witness. He was ready to tell all that he knew, but he said that he knew practically nothing. The net result of his examination rc was that he believed that during the years 1003, 1004 and ^ 1805, the period covered by the indictments on which the StanV( dard Oil Company, of Indiana, tl was recently convicted, the net C8 profits of the Standard Oil Com ^ pany, of New Jersey, was approximately 40 per cent of an outstanding capitalization of T $100,000,000. ] # ?There will be a meeting of the trustees and patrons of Unity school at the school house next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, ot Every one that is interested in to school work is requested to be w there. in W.
