New York City.?Standard Oil
men, with Standard Oil dividends, are
reaching out for the larger retail
trade.
They arc applying to the field of
investment the Standard Oil methods
which have proven so potent in every
line of competitive business to which
they have previously been applied.
The retail lines which have recently
attracted the attention of the men
who have been trained by the master
hand of John D. Rockefeller embrace:
Drugs,
Soap,
Candies,
Peanuts,
Milk,
Starch,
Gluoose products,
Restaurants.
For more than a year the work
of absorbing or, at any rate, gaining
a controlling interest in entemrlses.
which in many Instances seem to
have no connection with the production
of oil. has been going on quietly
but actively, and the complete roster
probably would make Interesting
reading.
Acquiring Many Businesses.
Some of these concerns in which
*rdividual stockholders of the Standard
Oil Company are heavily interested
are the Hegeman Drug Company,
Childs' chain of restaurants,
the Corn Products Refining Company,
the New York Glucose Company and
the National Starch Company. But
there are more to come Reports,
which bear every evidence of verity
are current that a great candy establishment
with many branches in New
York and other cities has recently
passed into the control of Standard
Oil interests.
Peanuts and milk probably will be
next on the list, for the same reports,
based on excellent authority, are that
these oil interests have already obtained
control of what is known as
the peanut trust, and will soon, if
they have not already, acquire one of
the most extensive milk producing
businesses in the country.
All these transactions are the outcome
of what is known as the "investment
department" of the Standard
Oil Company. This is entirely
for the benefit of the large stockholders
and the work is conducted in an
unobtrusive manner.

So thoroughly does the Standard
Oil Company now cover the ground
and the earth that It has all the capital
that It needs and is practically Impossible
to put more money back Into
the industry, which yields annually
millions in profit. Standard Oil dividends,
therefore, are constantly seeking
reinvestment, for It is one of the
axioms of John D.- Rockefeller himself
that money must not be idle. The
head of the investment department
or bureau was until recently a man
who is now a banker and broker in
Wall street. There has been a reorganization
lately, but the search for
good opportunities Is under the general
direction of an accomplished
financial scout who has a corps of
trained assistants.
There are numerous firms or companies
which have an established reputation
and feel that if they had ad[
dltional capital they might greatly
extend their business. While they
are making inquiries they may receive
a visit from an agent, who says
that he has heard something of their
endeavors and intimates that if the
enterprise meets the approval of his
principals it would be possible to
come to an agreement.

followers by the election of Mrs. Mirandi
B. Tulloch, of this city.
With a majority over Mrs. William
Cummings Story, of New York, of
only 8 votes out of 873 ballots cast.
Mrs. Scott's victory goes down upon
the records of the eoeiety as one of
the most closely contested in the history
of the orgnnizatin. Scarcely had
the Ihst wave of disappointment at
t lie narrow defeat of Mrc. Story 1
swept over her followers before
action was taken to renew the light
to elect the retiring State regent as
president-general two years hence,
whn Mrs. Scot's term of office will
expire.
So close an election stirred the congress
beyond the experience of years.
It was characterized by a bitterness
that prevented the motion of Mrs.
Story to make the election of her
_ rival unanimous being adopted, with
S dissent from a group of anti-administration
delegates.

n_ In the Senate Wednesday cotton
e- seed oil was the subject of an exIn
chancre of opinion between protectionists
Republicans and tnriff-fo<r-re venue
Democrats.
>n Senator Simmons, of North Caros?
lina, protested against such action,
!n declaring that he was free to say that
he was not in favor of placing cotton
seed oil on the free list.
ie Stating that the importation of
of cotton seed oil in 1008 was 202 galIons,
w-?rth $81, and yielded revnue
ts of $8.28, Mr. Aldrich said the tax
e_ on that article was "for protection
pure and simple."
r- "Any pretense," declared Mr. Till1
man, rising in his place and speaking
of in vigorous language, "that, there is
protection on cotton seed oil through
10 such a duty is a humbug. Cotton
*r seed oil producers do not want any
lv protection at nil."
p-| Senator Cummins' bill for an in'k

The Sultan was practically a prisoner

afternoon t??-* within two and

the attack upon tiie citv,
which bejran at "? o'clock Sunday

and small parties of cavalry had
vcontioitered the trrtmd. After desulorv
liriny. just lie fore dawn, a strong
idvatice was made in the southwest
art of Pern. The attacking forces
ipreail out in a Innjr line ami made
.111 assault upon the Matchku and
T;t.chkisehia barracks, south of the
alacu. Here they met with a stubhorn
resist anee.
Tiie invaders continued to advance

was overwhelming. and the

Almost imcmdiatcly the loyal solliers

liany of them fell, the Saloniki

a sudden attack from the artillery
ii the Taxim barracks but these were
>nly supplied with rifles.
Muksstar Hey, commander of the
Saloniki forces, fell den<l and many
were killed or wounded on the first
assault.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of the attack upon the city was
the srreat number of people of all
lationalities, including many Eurolean
women, who thronged the
streets immediately outside the zone
?f fire. Everybody showed that confidence
had been inspired by the discipline.
valor and friendh courtesy of
the invading troops, particularly the
gendarmes of Saloniki.
The number of casualties probably
will never he known, hut it is estimated
far into the thousands. Around
the Taxim barracks alone it is believed
that a thousand or more men

In one (junrter some (>.000 or 7.000
troops were engnircd in the conflict,
l?ut with the terrific exchange of
shots, few non-combatants were killpcl.
At noon the batte ceased. and precautionary
measures were immediately
taken by those upon whom victory
had rested, to insure the safety of
the residents. No disorders of any
kind occurred during the afternoon,
\nd no looting was permitted. General
satisfaction seemed to be felt
at the swift change from uncertainty
to constitutional order.
A cablegram of Sunday says: The
Yildiz garrison surrendered to the
Constitutionalist forces. The commanders
of these battalions began
sending in their submissoion to Maliamoud
Schefket Pasha Saturday night
and the whole of the troops protecting
the palace gave their formal ami
unconditional surrender shortly after
dawn. Niazi Bey. called the hero of

Turkish, French and English warships
