THIS MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1907. 3 PRDV STANDARD IS BIG MONOPOLY Evidence to Be Taken This Week in Suit to Dissolve Octopus. CHIEF OFFICERS CALLED William Rockefeller and Banker Benedict to Testify With Many Railroadmen Suspected of Giving ' Rebates. XEW YORK. Sept. 3. The taking of testimony in this city in the equity suit brought by the United States Gov ernment at St. Louis last December to dissolve the Standard Oil Company un der the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law was postponed today until Thursday at the request of coun sel for the defendant company. It was announced that the adojournment of the hearing would really facilitate matters, inasmuch as the opposition attorneys are In ' consultation over various matters which could best be handled, in their preliminary stages at least, out of court. Noted Men as Witnesses. The attorneys for the Government were ready to proceed when ex-Judge Franklyn Ferris, of St. LouIb, the Spe cial Examiner appointed by the Fed eral Court, took the bench In the United States Circuit Courtroom today, but offered no opposition to ---e order of postponement requested by the de fendants. The principal feature of the brief session today was the making public of a partial list of witnesses, which Indicated the importance and the wide scope of the testimony expected to be taken here. Heading the list is Wil liam G. Rockefeller, a director in most of the 70 affiliated oil companies named as defendants In the Govern ment's suit, and E. C. Benedict, Bank Examiner and life-long friend of ex Fresident Cleveland. Mr. Benedict was present today in answer to a subpoena, while attorneys for the Standard Oil Company entered an appearance for Mr. Rockefeller. Many Railroad Men Called. That the testimony desired by the Government will have to do largely with the alleged rebates and discrim inations in freight rates is indicated by the number of prominent railroad officials Included in the list of wit nesses. Among these are Jefferson Justice, assistant controller of the Pennsylvania Railroad; R. W. Down ing, ex-controllor of the Pennsylvania lines; O. W. L. McCullough, auditor of freight department, and W. A. Harris, counsel of the New York Central. Wade Hampton, general auditor of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, is under subpoena, as are C. M. Pratt and U. Q. Barstow, directors of the defendant company; John P. Logan, formerly an official of the Standard Oil Company; W. P. Howe, P. S. Trainer and Charles w. White, all as sociated with the defendant companies. The Government Interests thia morn ing were in the hands of Frank B. Kel logg, of St. Paul; Charles B. Morrison, of Chicago, and J. H. Graves, of the Department of Justice at Washington. POSTPONES ALTON" INQUIRY Judge Landis Adjourns Grand Jury Till Immunity Claim Settled. CHICAGO, Sept. 3. Judge Landis, in the United States District Court, today ordered a postponement of the grand Jury investigation of the rebating charges agulnst the Chicago & Alton road, growing out of the recent trial and conviction of the Standard Oil Company until September 24. It was generally believed that when .court opened today a letter would be pre sented from Attorney-General Bona parte, settling the question of whether the Department of Justice intended to prosecute an action against the Chi cago & Alton. The company has claimed immunity, asserting that it was prom ised by former District Attorney Mor rison, that if it aided the Government in good faith in the prosecution of the Standard OH Company it would be exempt. No such letter was, however, presented in court, either by Judge Landis or by Dlstrlx-t Attorney Sims, the successor of District Attorney Mor rison and when the court opened today Mr. 91ms said: "I am here, if the court please, in the matter of the "grand Jury investi gation, and in that matter I have to ask the court or wish to make a mo tion for a postponement, in compliance with the suggestion of the court, made at the time of the convening of the present grand jury. The facts and cir cumstances in connection with the matter under investigation have been submitted to the Department, and , I had expected to have been able to report to the court this morning Its views and findings. Very recently, how ever, a situation has arisen which in my Judgment makes it highly desirable that I have time to submit to the De partment certain facts and circum stances in addition to those already submitted. "For these reasons I request that further action in the matter be post poned for three or four weeks. I regret the necessity for asking the court for this postponement, but it seems to me in view of what I know in connection with the case to be unavoidable." "Is the grand jury present?" asked Judge Landis. "In court now. yes. your honor." "How much time do you want?" "I think not less than three weeks. It seems to me highly desirable that when the matter rs again called - we will be able to take definite action on it. Three weeks from today will be the 24th." "You may inform the grand Jury," said Judge Landis. "that they are at liberty to take a recess until 10 o'clock on the morning of September 24." After leaving the courtroom Mr. 81ms declared that he Intended to submit cer tain facts to the Attorney-General and said they had arisen within a few hours. He said that he would have to go to Washington within a short time to pre sent personally to the Attorney-General (his reasons for asking the postponement. MAY IGNORE PROMISE GIVEN Landis Disposed to Prosecute Alton, Despite Immunity Pledge. WASHINGTON." Sept. 3. It is believed at the Department of Justice that Judge Landis, of Chicago. Intends trying to villi the SDirit of Mr. Morrison's prom- i Aitoiv Also District Altornerj Sims, while here, called the attention of Mr. Bonaparte to the fact that F. G.. Hollands, a traffic clerk, in testifying be fore the petit Jury showed an astonish ingly defective memory, while before the grand jury he remembered many things that showed the preference given the Standard toy the Alton. Judge Landis once suggested that he had better leave the stand and retire from tne court room and. when addressing the jury, the Judge threw out a suggestion that some of the testimony given at the trial ought to be laid before the grand jury with a view to having its attention called to conflict ing statements which might be considered as indicating perjury. That Judge Landis can have the Alton and other roads prosecuted even against the wish of the Administration is freely admitted by lawyers at the Department of Justice. Attorney-General Bonaparte may refuse to prosecute, but cannot pre vent Judge Landis from appointing an attorney to handle any indictments voted by the grand Jury. IV1D0RS" RECKLESS URGE FREXCH REPEL CAVALRY WITH ARTILLERY FIRE. Great Battle Near Casa Blanca Ends In Defeat After Repeated French Charge. PARIS. Sept. 3 Admiral Phllibert, cabling yesterday, reports that a ser ious engagement occurred on Sunday near Casa Blanca, when a large force of Moors of the Taddert and Mzab tribes was dispersed by the French troops. The French cruisers Gloiro and Guerdon participated in the action, firing 60 shells. Four French soldiers were wounded. The fanatics showed extreme reck lessness, but eventually retired under repealed sweeping French charges and the terrific fire of the artillery. The fighting was started by the Arabs at tacking a reconnolterlng party which the French had sent out and which was reinforced by five companies of infantry, several batteries of artillery, hussars and Albanian cavalry. The loss of the Moors is not known. A scouting party of native auxilia ries was the first to discover the enemy. It found that the Taddert column was under arms and, after fir ing a few shots, retired, drawing the Arabs to a spot where the French In fantry and artillery were concealed. When this maneuver had been accom plished, the scouting party wheeled and unexpectedly charged the Arabs, while at the same time the Infantry and ar tillery unmasked and poured In a rain of shot and shell. The Arabs made desperate signals for reinforcements, which soon began to arrive in such numbers as to threaten to overwhelm the French. General Drude thereupon came out with fresh infantry and artillery and soon after the advent of these men into the fighting, the Arabs grew dis pirited. By nightfall they had all re tired. General Drude says he is en tirely satisfied with the outcome.. The Arab patfols left their dead on the field of battle. This they never do except in the last extremity, and it is taken as a sign of their profound discoura gement. Tedala, which the French cruiser Guerdon bombarded, was used as a supply center by the Moors. SOLDIERS DEMAND BACK PAY Sultan of Morocco Can't March Be cause Army Mutinies. BERLIN, Sept. 3. Official reports from Fez say that Sultan Abdul Aziz has not left the capital for Rabat, owing to his inability to pay the troops, who refuse to march without an assurance that their pay will be forthcoming.

Great excite ment was caused here today by the shoot ing of Acting Marshal A. L. Kopf, when he was attempting to arrest Charles Anderson, a tramp, and the shooting of Anderson by Dr. A. L. McNay. Anderson and three companions got into a quarrel. Mr. Kopf approached the tramps to stop the disorder, when Ander son suddenly shot the officer and fled. Dr. McNay was hurriedly summoned to attend Mr. Kopf. who was probably mortally wounded. While driving to the spot Dr. McNay was intercepted by Anderson, who ordered him to give up his rig.

"When the protests of the people of Owens Valley were taken before Sec retary Garfield," said Smith, "he re fused to grant the water to Los Angeles except for municipal pur poses. The matter later came before the President and he said: "'While the farmers have certain rights, these reights must be disre garded.' " "What we ask is that the power of the Secretary of the Interior and Sec retary of Agriculture be curtailed. Let the people know their rights and not be governed by any man's will, even though he be President of the United States. Fair play Is all we ask. I will also say the delegates are sov erlgne and not the committee of reso lutions." When Roosevelt Said "Damn." The name of Roosevelt figured also in the remarks of ex-Governor Pardee, of California, who in telling of a ride he had with the President when they were choked by the smoke of brush Bros, said: f "The President asked the cause of the fires and was told that lumbermen were responsible." "Damn the lumbermen," said the President. "I being a devout Gov- Senator Francis G. Newlands, of Ne vada, Leading Speaker at Irrigation Congress. ernor of California," added Mr. Pardee, "said amen. The President later qual ified his remark by saying he did not mean all the lumbermen." The remainder of the day was marked by nothing out of the pro gramme order. Interesting addresses were listened to and committees or ganized. ' The first step, taken evidently with the idea of- shutting off the alleged grievances of the so-called "kickers" from Tuma Valley and other points coming directly before the Congress, developed, when Matthew Dougherty, of Utah, moved that all resolutions be deferred to the committee on resolu tions by title only. This was seconded by John E. Raker, of Modoc, Cal., and unanimously adopted. A letter from Secretary Garfield was read, regretting his inability to attend and speaking of the big work done. Newlands on 'Waterways. Senator Francis G. Newlands, of Ne-x-ada. a member of the Inland Waterways Commission, was then introduced, and re ceived a warm welcome. Mr. Newlands delivered an address dealing with the whole scope of the work of the Inland Waterway Commission. Speaking of the needed legislation to carry out the ends sought, he said: "I should say that 'some plan In which the chiefs of the great scientific services of the country could be brought together in a natlonl board of public works, with power to make comprehensive plans, and to work them out gradually, might be the most ef ficient way. I cannot Imagine an or ganization more perfect than one which would Include the chief of the En gineer Corps of the Army, the director of the Geological Survey, the director our Coast and Geodetic Survey, our Panama canal service, our reclamation service, the chief of our Forestry serv ice, and of the Bureau of Soils. Such a board would mold Into unity of ac tion these great services, each of which is now engaged in some form of study and work relating to our waterways; and there could be created a fund simi lar to the reclamation fund, which could be placed under their control. Their work could, in a measure, be made self-compensatory, by tolls, charges for water power, and other means of revenue. Their action would cover all questions relating to the im provement of harbors and rivers, the construction of canals, the development of water power, and all the related questions of irrigation, reclamation, forestry, soil treatment, etc. , Their action would not be spasmodic and dis jointed, as has been the action of Con gress upon these subjects; but great and comprehensive . plants could be inaugurated, which they could gradu ally work out within the limits of the fund created by congressional action." Let Nation Control All. He spoke of the National control of currency, banking, irrigation, quar antine as illustrations of he awaken ing of the people to the necessity of utilizing the national power for the promotion of the general welfare. He continued: "We are now taking up the question of nationalizing the development of the inland1 waterways embracing lakes and rivers, and connecting canals, and including alj the related question of forestry, of Irrigation, of clarification. Of bank protection, of channel opening, as well as navigation; and the South, in this latter movement, is taking the Jead for national action, realizing, as it does, that the promotion of inter state and foreign commerce was one of the primary causes of the union of the states as a nation." He then said that the demand for national action on this subject would necessitate national incorporation of companies to handle this commerce. Such companies would own connect ing ocean, rail and inland water lines And, make Joint rates subject to ap proval of the Interstate Commerce Commission. There would be no need of ship subsidy. He launched out into an exposition of the advantages of na tional incorporation. Many of the sentiments expressed by Mr. Newlands were warmly applauded, especially his references to truBts and monopolies. Message to Roosevelt. , After the Newlands address, the fol lowing telegram, sent to President Roosevelt at the request of the con gress, was read: "Your splendid message, read by Hon. Glfford Plnchot, is deeply appreciated by the members of the Fifteenth Na tional Irrigation Congress, and I am directed by unanimous and enthusiastic vote to extend to you, the thanks of this body. The congress meets under most favorable auspices, with the larg est and most representative attend ance In the history of the irrigation congress, and promises to be a great value to the country as a factor in the wise development of our splendid re sources of forest lands and waters." Hon. George Barstow, president of the National Drainage Association, read an interesting paper on the "Alms of the National Drainage Association and the claim which drainage work has on the Government support." On motion of Matthew Dougherty, of the Utah delegation, the thanks of the congress were extended to Mr. Garfield for his able address sent in the letter of regret. Motion to Free Lumber. Following the address of Mr. Plnchot, the first excitement of the congress de veloped when Judge John E. Raker moved that it be the sense of the gath ering that all duties on timber be repealed, that the timber of this coun try be preserved to the largest extent possible by allowing other countries to ship their lumber in. Mr. Kelsel, of Utah, interrupted by seeking to ask Mr. Plnchot a question under the ten-minute rule, providing for such matters. White Smith at once was on his feet with a second to the motion of Judge Raker. There were at once objections that such motions should be at once Bent to the commit tee on resolutions. Congressman J. H. Smith, of Utah, acting chairman, ruled accordingly, and declared Mr. Smith out of order. There was considerable confusion, but Mr. Smith finally took his seat. Mr. Kelsel then asked Mr. Plnchot what is being done by the Forestry Service. The reply was that the Serv ice cannot plant sufficient trees to keep up with the consumption, but that as fast as Congress appropriated funds irrigation and other watersheds are being protected. At this point Mr. Fairweather drew from Mr. Plnchot his admission that he favored free lumber. Mr. Plnchot said that if Mr. Fairweather would meet him "behind the barn." he would tell Mr. Fairweather what he thinks on the subject. Later came the admission that Mr. Fairweather had smoked him out. Orator From Oregon. W. A. Williams, of Oregon, caused much merriment with an address. His oratory was like' the flow of a river, and his word-pictures delighted the thousands of men and women who listened to him. Two resolutions introduced by Matthew Dougherty, of Utah, and W. A. McAllis ter were read and referred to the commit tee. Mr. Dougherty's resolution pro vides for the leasing of Irrigable land, while Mr. McAllister's looked to the di rection and regulation of emigration towards Irrigable lands. John A. Fox, of Arkansas, representa tive of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, spoke at the opening of the afternoon session on the Important work of his organization. Dr. W. J. McGee. of the United States Bureau of Soils and a member of the Inland Waterways Commission, then delivered an address on "Conservation of Our Soils." J. A. Holmes of the Department of the Inte rior, followed with an address on the "Conservatism of the Mineral Resources." He was followed by M. O. Lelghton, United States Hydrographer, on "Con servation of Water." Mr. Lelghton said in part: "We could now use with profit all of the water that goes to waste. In a comparatively short time the saving, of that water will be a dire necessity. If started now, the conservation of water resources could be accomplished with comparatively small expenditure. Every year that It is postponed will add to the price. This is a Federal matter, con forming closely to the accepted definition on Federal matter, and It would be diffi cult to find a question that affects more specifically every man, woman and child without 'reference to locality, or that is so utterly regardless of state boundaries. The problems were laid down ages before state boundaries were thought of, and it would be as futile to attempt to separate these problems according to state boun daries as it would be to bring about a distribution of the winds to conform to the specific needs of each state." ;At the evening session Morris Bion, of the United States Reclamation Service, spoke on the "Community Idea In the Reclamation Act." "The work o Na tional Reclamation Service," was the subject discussed by F. H. Newell, direc tor of the United States Reclamation Service. It was illustrated Vlth stereop ticon views.
