Demand Russia Intervene.
The Xovoe Vreyma and the Bourse
Gazette take the lead In demanding to
day that the Russian government Inter
vene Immediately in Persia. The Novoe
Vreyma expressed the Conservative opin
ion, while the Bourse Gazette voices the
sentiment of the IJberal party. The first
p-vper calls for the subjection of Satar
Khan, while the Gaxette demands that
the Shah be foroed to establish a parlia
mentary system of government. Accord
ins; to the Novoe Vreyma, the war office
proposed last Summer to send a brigade
of infantry and artillery to Tabriz, but
tills proposal was overruled by the For

Seek Turkish Protection.
Today the Nationalists In Azerbaijan
province are showing unmistakable signs
of their intention to place themselves un
der the protection of Turkey, and Turkey
Is willing. Furthermore, great quantities
of arms are being smuggled into Persia
bv German traders. Continuing, the
Novoe Vrevma cites the examples of
Khiva, Kuokand and Bokhara, which lost
their independence on account of attacks
upon Russian traders similar to those now
b.ing made In Persia.
It laments this change in Russian policy,
snd demands that Russia take advantage
of the permission of Great Britain and
restore order in Aserbaljan.
ROCKEFELLER IS WITNESS
(Continue Krom First Pas)
the Standard Oil Company Is not the
result of an aggressive policy to gain
mastery of the oil trade, as charged,
but the natural outcome of an eco
nomic development which the ex
igencies of the oil industry demanded.
During a brief recess this afternoon.
Sir. Itockefeller talked to the report
ers on the Standard's growth, saying:
Loan of tJJOfl? Began It.
"What a wonderful thin? it all has
been the growth of "this business. It
all seems like a dream to me and here
1 am aecused of doing the very wicked
thing of selling a good article at a
lower price than anyone elne.
"This testimony 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 bank of T. P. Handy,
who afterward became tme of my dear
est friends. I wanted to borrow money
but I did not have any collateral nor
any one to Indorse niy note. I told
lilr- what I wanted to do 'with It and
then he asked me how much I wanted.
"1 need IMOu.- I said, and I got it.
To that loan I attribute whatever suc
cess I have had in life since."
The taking of Mr. Rockefeller's tes
timony will be continued tomorrow.
No Coercive Methods.
Mr. Rockefeller said that to cope with
the changing conditions It was necessary
to obtain capital and purchase the Cleve
land companies, which, the witness said,
enabled me Standard to borrow large
sums of money by having asstxriuted with
1: many of its recognized friends.
"We realized." said Mr. Rockefeller,
"tint the larcr company decreased the
cost of production and Increased the
volume of business. The companies were
pur-ha."ed part In cash and part in stock
of the Standard Company."
"Did you use any coercive means to se
cure these companies?'
"None whatever." said Mr. Rockefeller.
"Thry were all fair negotiations. I may
say for myj-ii that they were the kind
of negotiations I have always used. I
liave used no other.'"
"Ton had faith In the business, Mr.
Rockefeller?
"Oh, yes." he rep'.!"d.
"Hut some did not?"
"Yes. that is so."
Concerning t..e state of the refinery
business in the early seventies. Mr.
KiX'kefeller said It was generally under
stood that it was on uncertain ground
and encountered unusual hazards. Too
many refineries had been built and it
was rvoognis'd that an Increased demand
for oil would have to he created.
"It was always considered a business
of risk, the refining of ol!." said Mr.
Rook "feller, "and It is a very hazardous
business today and not to b classed with
l-arklnc or some ra:iroAd businesses.'
Paid In Hard Cash.
Mr. Rockefeller then was asked about
trie payments mad? for tlie companies.
"I df not know what proportion was
ca.i or sto-k. ioss:b!y half of cash and
half st vk. ' raid Mr. Rockefeller. "Th
general prefernc was for good hard
cash with whi 'h to invest in something
else. As one i.sr old man said to me.
'You better strike that out. whereupon
everybody In tlie court lauglied.
Regarding t'v. South Improvement Com
pany. ,ir. Rockef -M-r said that while
the Standard t "ok a little interest In it.
Me company hail little to do with It.
"We d'd not entertain the views of
those in charge of it. and we were not in
sympathy with it." he added.
He gave tlie names of those identified
with t.e South Improvement Company,
stating that they were identified with the
iVr-ncvlmnia oil field.
"Tiiev wrre hauling their oil over the
Pennsylvania Railroad." said Mr. Rocke
frU r. " i nese gentlemen were active in
t'.- Pennsylvania oil Held. One of them.
Pefr Watson, was Identified with Mr.
svott. president o.' the Pennsylvania Rail
road." "l".d you ever negotiate for the charter
of the South Improvement Company?"
"I never did." said Mr. Rockefeller.
"We did not share their views and we
frankly told them so mora than once. It
was not a scheme which we ourselves
would care for."
Didn't Care to Break.
"Why did you take an Interest In itT"
"It should be remembered that Mr.
Scott was a potent factor In the Penn
sylvania Railroad who was not to b
disregarded by the railroads or shippers.
W e did' not wish to break with these gen
tlemen, especially with Mr. Scott. We only
had a minority interest."
The scheme of the South Improvement
Company, he declared, was a failure. It
having aroused great opposition among
the oil interests in Pennsylvania.
"It did not take very long for the pro
ducers there to make opposition to It. they
having the characteristics of miners ths
world over." said Mr. Rockefeller.
He was about to tell of the formation
of the producers' union when on raquest
of the Standard's counsel, an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow.
Mr. Rockefeller Interrupted the motion
to adjourn, stating that he was willing
to remain as long as desired, htit nodded
assent to counsel when his lawyers shook
their heads.
In answer to a question Mr. Rocke
feller said that Cleveland was the best
distributing point to obtain the domes
tic trade. Its disadvantage was that
they had a long haul to the seaboard
for the export trade.
"What was the comparative size of
your refinery to others at that time
In 1870?"
Largest in Country Then.
"I believe It was the largest in the
country at that time."
"The company was capitalized at
Jl.0ftO.n00. Was that considered n large
capitalization V asked Mr. Milburn.
"Yes," replied Mr. Rockefeller. "It
was considered very large as we start
ed in I860 with 14000."
Mr. Rockefeller said they made many
Improvements in the business. One
thing they did was to manufacture
their own barels at a saving of one
half. He said the saving on the bar
rels represented a large saving to the
company and represented one of the
Innovations in the development of the
company.
"The things that we used from time
to time we were enabled to produce at
prices lower than those which we pre
viously paid, as our capacity in
creased," said Mr. Rockefeller.
"Let me ask you about the' house
you established here," said Mr. Milburn.
"Yes that was an advantage; it gave
us an opportunity to learn of foreign
markets and export trade. We were
constantly in need of Increasing capi
tal as our business developed 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 thankf::i to say we always
had good credit. We always kept our
covenants and paid our bills. Our abil
ity to secure large loans was of great
advantage to us. Thus we extended
our faciities with New York bankers
with whom we kept our deposits and
we got our money at the cheapest
money market In the world.'
Borrow Large Sums.
Through the Acquaintance made by
William Rockefeller with wealthy men
in New Y'ork, 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 Amza Stone and Benjamin
Brewster. New Y'ork. he said, was the
largest expot ting point at that time
and Is today."
Hard times came early In the 70's.
The business was much overdone be
cause refineries bad been erected so
rapidly that the profit was much less
ened. A recess of five minutes was taken
to ventilate the room and meanwhile
Mr. Rockefeller went over and talked
with the newspaper men. He suggest
ed that they ought to have a room
five times as large, but Mr. Milburn
said (hat there would be five times as
many- people If they did: that the only
way would be to charge admission.
"Oh no." said Mr. Rockefeller, "not
If they are as nice as the people here."
"fid you have negotiations after the
organization of the Standard till Com
pany of Ohio with oner Interests look
ing to their purchase?" Mr Rockefel
ler was asked after the recess.
."Yes. In the last part of 1871. We
consummated negotiations for the then
firm of Clark. Payne & Company. This
company was a very considerable re
fining company, next to us in size.
The members were Colonel Oliver
Payne. James H. Clark and John Hunt
ington. "The next one thnt we bought, if
I am right, was the Alexander. Scho
field & Company. They were next in
importance In the business."
Begin Buying Out Competition.
"Did these negotiations result In
controlling Clark. Payne & Company?"
"Yes."
"Were there other negotiations?"
"Yes. there were other refining con
cerns having lesser Importance which
we purchased. I don't remember their
names. I should say that I had nego
tiations with six or eight concerns.
These concerns were nil in Cleveland.
I could not say definitely how many
were purchased. There might have
been a dozen, more or less, heginlng
with Clark. Payne Company. They
were rot all at one time. Some were
in 1S71 and early in 1S72 and some in
the last of 1870."
"How did these negotiations arise?"
"In the natural way." said Mr. Rocke
feller. "We were all friends and en
Joved prosperity together. We found
that changed conditions were lessen
ing the chances of profits. AVe were
unsuccesful in obtaining large capital
at that time and many capitalists
feared to risk money In oil refining,
there were many schemes floated on
propertv of little value. Owing to the
dissatisfaction with such concerns it
was hard to obtain money. I remem
ber that I visited J. H. Wade In Cleve
land and he told me politely and firmly
that he would not invest any money in
the oil business."

ROOT FOR SENATOR
Taft Regards His Election as
Practically Sure.
PREFERS HIM IN CABINET;
Says Root Mtonld Retain State Port
folio It Possible, and Praises His
Statesmanship Cannot At
tend Cuban Inauguration.
HOT SPRINGS. Va Nov. 18. There
was a conference at the Taft cottage
todav on New Y'ork politics, general
political affairs and especially regard
ing persons and measures pertaining
to the next administration. The con
ferees were President-elect Taft. Vice-President-elect
Sherman and William
Ward. National Republican committee
man from New Y'ork.
While no one at the conference
wishes to be quoted on the subject, it
may be stated as the opinion of all
that Secretary Root will be the suc
cessor in the United States Senate of
Senator T. C. Piatt. This, of course, is
based upon the understanding that Mr.
IJoot wishes the place.
Would Like Iloot for Premier.
Mr. Taft has had no hesitancy from
the first In giving- positive expression
to his desire to make Mr. Root the
premier of his Cabinet. He has said
also that, if his persuasion could pre
vail, the present Secretary of State
would retain that portfolio despite his
Senatorial ambitions.
"Mr. Root is pre-eminently a states
man," said Mr. Taft today in referring
to his cordial feeling and admiration
for the Secretary of State. "He has
the most wonderful faculty for plan
ning for the future, both with respect
to domestic affairs and to international
relations, of anyone I have known.
He has such a plan for the development
of our relations with the South and
Central American countries. Such plans
must, as indeed must those of true
statesmanship in any direction be
worked out step by step, with patience
and. time."
Cannon to Re Speaker Again.
It is understood that Mr. Sherman
gave it as his opinion to Mr. Taft at
the conference that Speaker Cannon
would continue to hold that office in
the 61st Congress. Further details
were unobtainable, the explanation
given by Mr. Taft being:
"It was a general talk regarding
many matters and persons. Just such
talks as desire and expect to have
with party leaders and those men who
had to do with the campaign, and as a
result of which in the end I shall be
able to form opinions and make decis
ions. There was nothing definite done
nor was the discussion of a character
that its publicity would be either inter
esting or opportune."
Congratulations to Cuba.
Mr. Taft sent a cablegram tonight,
extending his hearty congratulations
to Cuba, through Governor Magoon,
on the conduct and result of the recent
election there.
Mr. Taft expressed doubt tonight
that he would go to Cuba to witness
the withdrawal of the American and
the inauguration of the Cuban admin
istration. This function will take place
Just at a time when, Mr. Taft said, he
would be decidedly engrossed with the
affairs of the administration.
COUNT WANTS CHILDREN
Ex-Husband of Anna Gould Jealous
of Prince Helie's Kule.
PARIS. Nov. J8. The hearing of the
suit brous.it by Count Boni de Castellane
against Prince Helie de Sagan for the
custody of three children was today post,
poned until November 25. Thi-s action
was taken at the request of Albert Clem
enceau. counsel for the Princess, who an
nounced that he had just entered the case
and it was consequently impossible for
him to proceed 'today.
Princess de 3agan was Anna Gould, of
New York, before she married the Count
de Castellane. She secured a divorce
from him, after which she married Prince
Helie de Sag an.
M. Bonnett, Count de Caetellane's law
yer, did not oppose the request of M.
Clemenceau for postponement, but he
formally petitioned the court to place the
children In the care of the Marquise de
Castellane, mother of Count Boni, pend
ing a settlement of the case, on the
eround that they were uncomfortable and
ill In the house of their mother, the Prin
cess, and because 'it was desirable that
they should escape the atmosphere, un
healthful both morally and physically
which, he alleged, pervaded the home of
the mother. The court ruled that it
could not pass upon the question today
and the entire matter went over for one
week.
Count de Castellane was present in
court and listened attentively as M. Bon
nett set forth that the Count was unable
to see his children on account of their ill
ness and that the doctor had been for
bidden to send him any news of them.
"The children havo need of that calm
and peace which they will find in the
home of their grandmother,' M. Bonnett
declared. He then said that he had
agreed to various propositions already
because he understood that the Princess
had decided to seek a separation from
her husUand, but Inasmuch as the Prin
cess had denied this report, he could see
no reason why the suit should not pro
ceed. The court, however, granted the
postponement.
FIREMAN BLOWS UP SALOON
Butte Man Carries Out Threat Made
When -Tressed for Bill.
Bl'TTB. Mont., Nov. 18. Mike Butler,
a member of the Butte Fire Department,
was arrested today and charged with

The proprietor of the place says Butler
declared, when pressed for payment of
a bar bill, that he "would get even."
Y. .V. C. A. Work Praised.
WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. "I doubt if
there is a movement among the move
ments that can be broadly termed phi
lanthropic in the country which better
deserves the interest and support of our
people than the movement for Young
Women's Christian Associations."
Thus spoke President Roosevelt to a
gathering of prominent young women at
Washington, who called at the White
House yesterday on the President's invi
tation to receive his congratulations on
the splendid work being done by the
Young Women's Christian Association in
this city.
There has." declared the 'President,
"been a tendency to do more for -.-our
men than for young women.
"I desire to say that this is one of the
few gatherings seen in the White House
that has come not on it suggestion, but
on mine."

CHINA FOR REFORM
Grand Council Impresses New
Ideas on People.
JEALOUSIES STIR , PEKIN
Prince Chun Guards Manchu Pre
rogatives Fourteen Banks That
Were Closed Reopen and Begin
Paying Off Depositors.
PEKIN, Nov. 18. An edict issued to
day declares that the era of Pu YI, the
infant Emperor of China, be named
Nsuan L'ngr, meaning "proclaimed suc
cesion." This characterization is interpreted
ns signifying the unification of the
nation upon the reform programme
of the throne.
Another edict orders a posthumous
title for Kwang Hsu in recognition of
his merits. It enlarges upon the re
form programme to which the vale
dictory of the Emperor committed the
throne, nnd thus commits the govern
ment again to the details set forth in
the programme.
Impress Reform Idea.
The grand councl apears anxious to
Impress the idea of reform upon the
new generation of the reigning Man
chu clan.
The regent has appointed 9 A. M.,
November 25, for the members of the
diplomatic corps in I'ekin to apear in
the forbitiden city and express con
dolences of their respective govern
ments on the death of the Emperor and
the Empress Dowager. Three mem
bers from each legation will be re
vived. Thev will bow three times be
fore the coffins of the Emperor and
the Dowager Empress and once to
Prince Chun, the regent
The Dowager Empress, acting on a
memorial presented to the princes and
the ministers, has issued an edict that
the period of mourning be reduced for
the regent and the court to 100 days
and for the people to only seven days.
Rumors are rife of political Jealous
ies at the palace. Considerable adverse
comment has been roused by the fact
that Prince Chun, the regent, is ig
noring the Chinese in announcing the
composition of the committees that,
are to have the obsequies of the late
Emperor and Empress in hand. The
only two Chinese appointees are Tuan
Phi Kai and Lieuchun Lun. The re
mainder are Manchus.
Jeaionsy Aroused.
The selection of Prince Pu Lun and
Chen Pi to proceed to the western
tombs and select the site for the
mausoleum for Kuang Hsu, the late
Kmperor. has been received with dis
satisfaction, principally because Prince
Pu Lun was at one time very active
in the endeavor to secure power for
himself. Chen Pi is a former Boxer
and anti-foreign in his sentiment.
He ow-s ills position and power to
the eunuchs.
The acts of Prince Chun are clothed
with full imperial authority and show
that he is jealous of theManchu prerog
atives and guards them sedulously.
His edicts show clearly the literary
stvle of Chang Chi Tung, a member
of the Grand Council, but otherwise
Chang Chi Tung Is not active in af
fairs of state and appears to have
been eclipsed. -
It is reported that Prince Chang,
president of the Board of Foreign Af
fairs has suffered a partial collapse
on account of his exertions and ex
citement of the last few days.
The political position is precarious
and it is believed that his career is
practically at an end.
The 14 native banks that suspended
payment a few days ago today were
reopened and began to pay out money
from funds supplied by the government
for the purpose of tiding over the
panic. They are under police super--isior..
The payments are to continue
for a period ot five days.
Japan Remains Passive.
TOKIO. Nov. IS. All official advlr re
ceived from China show that Pekin and
Tientsin are quiet. There is reason to
believe that an agreement has been
reached between the conflicting elements
and no disturbances are expected for the
prei-ent. It is deemed probable that no
important action of any kin'd will be
taken before next Spring. The Japai.ese
government is not considering any .-: -affirmation
of its policy toward Chi',
believing that the position of Japan Is
well understood by all the powers. The
announcement of the Associated Press
on November 15. when the policy ' Ja
pan. consequent upon the d2ath of the
Emperor of China, was clearly defined,
is now confirmed officially. Japan is not
considering the dispatch of any warships
Into Chinese waters.
MEASVKES TO KEEP ORDER
Best Chinese Troops in Manchuria
Ordered Into Pekln.
HARBIN, Manchuria, Nov. 18. Extraor
dinary measures have been taken to
preserve order in case of any outbreak
as the result of the death in Pekin of
the Emperor and the Dowager Empress
of China. Immediately after the death
of the Emperor was known here the best
Chinese troops in Manchuria were or
dered hi to Pekin.
Viceroy Will Remain.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. Tuang Fang,
the influential Chinese Viceroy of Nan
kin, who it was thought might go to
Pekin in consequence of the changed
conditions there, has decided not to pro
ceed to that city, according to a dis
patch received from Consul-General
Charles Denby at Shanghai, because the
situation at the Chinese capital does not
require his presence. All is qulot at
Shanghai. '
