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.” .

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-

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-
