Rockefeller Denies Fault in Standard Oil Arrangements
In New York on November 21 John D Rockefeller resumed testifying in the government case to dissolve Standard Oil. He said he had nothing to do with rail rebates and noted the company’s long history of profitability with high dividends. He addressed trust values, earnings, and agreements with railroads including a 10 cent per barrel rebate, insisting profits did not define risk and acknowledging warehouse charges at Erie and New York Central terminals. Meanwhile off Corsica the French cruiser Conde struck rocks in a heavy storm with no loss of life.
