Jail Rockefeller and Other i
T) Magnates, Says Brya:
* L
Chicago July 7.?A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Warsaw,
Iud , says:
''Send Johu D. 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. ]
