The invitation was extended to the president today by Harry St. George Tucker, president of the exnositon company; C. Brooks Johnson and Lieut. Gov. J. Taylor Ellyson of Vir ginia.

(By the Associated Press.) Chicago, May 10. The inquiry by i the government through the inter-' state commerce commission into the relations between the Standard Oil Company and the railroads of the country began here today. Two of the points upon which it is said the investigation will endeavor to throw light are the matter of the pipe lines of. the Standard Oil Com pany, which are laid along the rail road rights of ways, and the purchase of the Galena Oil by the railroads for headlight and signal purposes. The first witness was 15. M.'Wil hoit. of Topeka, Kas., now an inde pendent oil operator, but ten years ago an agent of the Standard Oil v,uiiiiau. rit: iiauiivu ...... - the employ of the Standard Oil Com- pany he had, in followln out 111- struct ions of his superior officers, i , bribed clerks in the offices, or rail- roads and employes of Independent j oil concerns lo obtain informal ion ot the details of the business done by ., i,. nf Kh.ndnrd Oil Com I pany. He declared that agents, of j the Standard Oil Company arc hold personally responsible for all oil .sold. In their territory by independ ent companies, and that drivers of tank wagons are expected to keep iup their slock by selling 205 to 208 I gallons from a wagon load of 200 gallons. Me said that the actual I tests of the products of the Standard :OU Company to 'determine the qual ity are. carefully guarded and that iwhen it was found necessary to cut the price to meet the figure of a com petitor a cheaper quality of oil was substituted and guaranteed to be of a higher grad? than it really was. Mr. Wilhoil said that frequently three grades of oil were sold fro:n the same tank by agents of tho ! Standard Oil Company. The hearing was conducted by Al- lorneys .1. F. Marc.hant and F. S.-Mo- meni oi t no Hearing announced mac jit was held in pursuance of a resolu tion passed by congress, and that the present, session was a continuance of the investigation conducted some time ago at Kansas City. i Commissioner Prouty asked Mr. j Wilhoit: ; "Did you ever give short 1 measure to your customers? "Weil, we did not call it Ihat," re plied the witness. . "1 was frequently advised by llgl.nts of the company that my stock w.,s I10t si,owins ,, as it should, und was told that it was a simple matter to sell 203 lo 20S gallons from a two hundred gallon load of oil. The company explained this by saying that the oil expanded in the wagon." Coldest May Day. Reading, Pa:. May 10.

The first, business session of the thirty third national conference of charities and corrections opened today in Hor ticultural Hall. After the presenta tion of the report of Lee K, Frankel, manager of the United Hebrew Char ities of New York, a paper on "Re liefWork of the Salvation Army" was read by Edwin D.

"I find that, somehow, most peo ple have gained the impression that the army has a large number of farm colonies, and that thousands of poor people from the 'slums' have been transferred to them. There are at. present but thre,e colonies, one each in Ohio, Coloradi' and California, having a total of but :lr0 people. These colonists have - become self- supporting, but it would be interest ing to know what percentage of them, while living in the cily, haye been recipients 'of either, public or private i relief, or even dwellers in what the j Salvation Army calls the 'slums', j "The Saivaiiou Army maintains at ! present about seventy-four lodging I houses in our various cities, furnish ' tmr bods at the rate of ten and fif teen cents a night. In its appeals for funds the .army speaks of- 'lodging thousands of homeless' and most people gain the impression that, such lodgings are, in part at least, a char ity, and that the accommodations furnished are much superior to those of the ordinary ( heap lodging house, run for private profit. Reliable in forniMtion from a large number of I .. nical Mnoi ican cities indicates that tjic system of cheap lodging houses conducted by the army have all the effects' of the poorest of the privately 0wned lodging houses and few, if anv, advantages over tliein.

Washington.. May .10. Another im portant step toward the -realization-of the policy of China for the Chinese has been recorded in the 'promulgation of an imperial decree at Pekiu naming Tieh Liang as "minister superintendent of the customs affairs," with Tang-Shao Yl as vice minister. It is feared that this means the complete overturning of the .: system of foreign control of Chi nese customs collections which has been ir. the hands of Sir Robert Hurt, for the past twenty years. Tieli-I.iang is the .lanchu command ing chief of the Chinese army, dividing honors with Yuan Shl-Kai, the Mongol ian commanding chief and he is said to be a loan of -great ability. In lSl'S an arrangement was 'made be tween England and china in eonsidera- t'nder that arrangement Sir Robert Hart has administered the Chinese cus toms service with the greatest satisfac tion to all foieign nations.
