BIG CROWD SEES 60.

CONTEST WAS HARD FOUGHT FROM START TO FINISH TURK GETS ONE FALL, FIGHTING LIKE TIGER. j rhnrlpv Olson last evening In a clean cut, decisive manner again demonstrated his superiority over Bob Manogoff, the Turk, by taking two out of three falls after one hour and five minutes of desperate fighting the most spectacular and scientific ever; witnessed in this city. At least 1,500 people attended the match, the largest i crowd that has ever seen a local bout and when in the third Big Bob told Referee Jack Rice of Indianapolis that he would "give up" because of the unbreakable toe-hold Olson had on him, the crowd went crazy and would have swarmed Into the ring to greet the victor but for the presence of six or seven police officers, who surrounded the ring and held the excited fans at bay. '- The match was rough from start to finish but both men showed more science than they had heretofore and the Turk gamely made the fight of his life. He showed great improvement in speed and by his fast work repeatedly b'rofce hold that looked certain to be his undoing. Bob fought on the offenslve as much as he did on the defensive and its a safe bet that Olson never had a harder battle in his career. The first bout went forty and onehalf minutes and was extremely exciting. Twice Olson nearly downed his Wg opponent with the toe hold and the full nelson, but each time Bob broke clean and turned on the Indianapolis lad like a tiger and Olson only saved himself by the cleverest kind of work. Once Olson lifted the Turk high in the air, head downward, and bumped bis head on the mat twice, like using a crowbar. Another time Olson lifted the Turk high above him, then hurled him violently to the mat. Despite' this rourh treatment Manogoff was not shanen up much and came back gamely to the fight. Olson finally downed him with a toe-hold and half nelson. : The second bout was the Turk's from start to close. He gamely out fought and out generated the light heavyweight champion and completely wore him out. Bob finally put Olson on his back by using his favorite hold, a. leg clasp about the bead and an unbreakable grip on his opponents legs. This bout lasted seventeen minutes. In the third bout the wiry, cat-like moving Olson went after the big Turk with a fury not to be denied. He hurl ed him about like a bean bag, roughing it constantly. Finally Olson wriggled out of a good hold Manogoff had on him and with the rapidity of a lightning flash, turned the Turk on his stomach then grabbed bis foot and locked it Into such a hold that it w-as up to Big Bob to throw up the sponge or be, turned over on his back at the risk' of a fractured leg. "I give up," gasped the Turk to Referee Rice, who patted Olson ou the shoulders the sign of victory. THISTLETHWAITE GETS POSITION Richmond Boy Appointed Marshall's Private Secretary.

The match between Olson and the Turk was probably the latter's farewell to dear old Richmond, but next week, some time Olson will meet either Demetral, the Greek, or Hackenschmidt's wrestling partner. If the match Is as good as the one last night the fans won't ask for any better. The Turk cried like a baby In his dressing room last evening after the match. He was confident of winning. Anyhow he has the satisfaction of knowing he gave Olson one of th hardest battles of his career. It is said that the pronoun "I" occurs no more than 23,000 times in Bat Nelson's new book.

(Continued From Page One.) all seems like a dream to me, and here I am accused of doing the wicked thing of selling a good article at a lower price than any one else. Recalls His First Loan. "This testimony here today brings back to my mind so clearly early days In Cleveland, where we were all friends and neighbors together. How well I remember that day in Cleveland when I went into the iank of T. P. Handy, who afterwards became one of . . , . - my dearest friends. I wanted to bor row money, but I did not have any collateral nor any one to indorse my note. "I told him what I wanted to do with it and then he asked me how much I wanted. 'I need $2,000, I said, and I got it To that loan I attribute whatever success I have had in life since." Rockefeller Gives His History. "Mr. Rockefeller, what is your full name?" "John D. Rockefeller." "Where do you live?" "My legal residence is this city, at 4 West Fifty-fourth street." "What was your first connection in the oil business?" "About 1800 orlS62, not earlier 'than 1800 nor later than 1802. I was quite a young man, much younger than I am now." In reply to the question as to who were associated with him in the oil business in the beginning he gave the names of Morris James and Richard Clark and Samuel Andrews. "A copartnership was formed," said Mr. Rockefeller, "known as Andrews, Clark & Co., which operated at Cleveland. O." Mr. Rockefeller said the refinery was a small one, and his copartnership with Andrews, Clark & Co. continued until 1SG5, when it dissolved. Buys Out His Partners. "I bought the business and the property and I organized the firm of Rockefeller and Andrews," he said. ' "Did you continue in the refinery business?" "Yes." "Did your business increase?" "Yes," said Mr, Rockefeller, "it increased steadily. "What developments or change In the company took place later?" "Well, In 1806 there was a change The firm wm William Bockefeller & Co.

New Company Formed. Mr. Rockefeller said the refinery of this company was in Cleveland and that afterward another refinery under i the name of William Rockefeller & ' Co., was organized in New York. The same firm members that composed the Cleveland company made up the New York company.

Consolidation Is Made. "When did the next change take place?" "In 1867 all the properties of Rockefeller & Andrews, William Rockefeller. & Co., and Rockefeller & Co. were ta'sV en over under the firm name of Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler. Mr. Flagier was a man of large business experience and was a valuable addition to the firm. A large amount of capital was put into the firm Mr. Rockefeller said that this company engaged in the refining of oil, which was sold in this country and abroad. "What was the next change?" "I think that three years later, In 1S70, the Standard Oil company of Ohio was organized with a capital of $1,000,000 and we enlisted much capital in the company. The Cleveland headquarters were established then." Owned Largest Refinery. "What was the comparative size of your refinery to others at that time, in 1S70?" "I believe it was the largest in the country at that time." "The company was capitalized at $1,000,000; was that considered a large capitalization?" "Yes. It was considered very large. We thought it very large, as we started in 1860 with $4,000." "We many improvements noted in the business?" "Yes, many Improvements were made. We improved machinery and

It gave us an opportunity to learn of the foreign markets and the export trade. We were constantly in need of increasing capital as our business developed, j and in New York we were enabled to secure larger sums of money at lower rates than in the West. We were always able to obtain large sums of money, and, I am thankful to say, we always had good credit We always kept our covenants and paid our bills. Our ability to secure large loans was of great advantage to us. Thus we extended our facilities with New York bankers with whom we kept our deposits, and we got our money at the che??J r?;es ln e cheapest money market in the world "Through the acquaintance made by William Rockefeller with wealthy men ! in New York connections were formed enabling the company to borrow large sums for the further extension of the business, the witness stated. Some of those who aided him in obtaining funds were Amasa Stone and Benjamin Brewster. New Y6rk, he said. was the largest exporting point at that time and is today. The refined oil passed through the warehouse here, after which It went tc the cooperj ?e, where it was gone over before it was placed on board ship." More Expenses Saved. Mr. Rockefeller said that further to save expenses the company found it profitable to lighter its cfvn oil from the cars to the warehouses in this city. He added: "We made these improvements as fast as we could provide capital for them. Other companies hM to pay the expense of lighterage, which, with the commissions for selling oil and the wrjehouse charge, made their charges heavier than ours." Hard times came upon the oil trade early in the '70s. The business was much overdone because refineries had been erected so rapidly that the profit was much lessened. Competition Brought Up. "Did you have negotiations after the organization of the Standard Oil company of Ohio with other interests looking to their purchase?" "Yes, in the last part of 1871. We consummated negotiations for the then firm of Clark, Payne & Co. This was a very considerable refining company, next to us in size. The members were Colonel Oliver H. Payne, j James H. Clark and John Huntington. The next one that we bought, if I am right, was the Alexander Schofield & Co. They were next in importance in the business." "Did these negotiations result in controlling Clark, Payne & Co.?" "Yes." "Were there other negotiations?" "Yes, there were other refining concerns having lesser importance which we purchased. I don't remember the names. 1 should say that I had negotiated with six or eight concerns. These concerns were all in Cleveland. I could not say definitely how many were purchased. There might have been a dozen, more or less, beginning with Clark, Payne & Co. They were not all at one time. Some, were in 1871 and early in 1S72 and some in the last of 1S70. Says Risk Was Feared. "How did these negotiations arise?" "In the natural way. We were all friends and enjoyed our prosperity together. We recognized that chaging conditions were lessening the chances of profits. We were unsuccessful in to obtain money. I remember that I visited J. H. Wade in Cleveland, and he told me politely and kindly that he w-ould not invest any money in the oil business. We realized that the larger company decreased the cost of produc1 Uoa and iMTMted the volume of busi-

ness. The companies were purchased part in cash and part in stock of the Standard company." "Did you use any coercive means to secure these companies?" "None always used. I have used no other." "You had faith in the business, Mr. Rockefeller?" "Oh, yes." "But some did not? "Yes, that is so." Tells of Big Hazards. Concerning the state of the refinery business in the early '70s, Mr. Rockefeller said it was generally under stood that the business was on uncertaln ground encountered unusua, hazards. There had been too many refineries built, and it was recognized that an increased demand for oil would have to be created., "It was always considered a business of risk, the refining of oil," said Mr. Rockefeller, "and it's a very hazardous business today and not to be classed with banking or some railroad business." A large crowd saw Mr. Rockefeller leave the customs building and depart for his home. NEW BUILDING IS10ICAIED I. 0. 0. F. Hold Appropriate Exercises When New Temple Is Thrown Open.
