NEW YORK. Nor. 24. Closing his
testimony today In the Federal sa'i
dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
John I. Rockefeller threw some un
expected light on the popular question
as to what channels of Investment at
tracted his tremendous earnings from
the oil combine. Mr. Rockefeller was
loath to state the names of the rail
roads In which his Investments were
made, but did so after entering his ob
jection. The head of the so-called oil
trust declared that his holdings In rail
roads consisted chiefly of bonds, and
that with the exception of a few roads
In which he held only small amounts of
stocks, he preferred the bonds as a
form of Investment.
Mr. Rockefeller's appearance on the
witness stand today probably will have
been his lust In any court proceeding.
He appeared delighted that his long or-d-al
as a witness was ended and hur
riedly left the room when cousel ex
cused him.
Where Rockefeller's Money Is.
Mr. Rockefeller said that he did not
think that he should be" made to tell
the form of investment, declaring- "that
the gentleman over there In the stock
exchange might not think it very wise."
After some legal contention by coun
sel, Mr. Rockefeller said he held stock
In the Pelaware. Lackawanna & West
ern, the New York Central, the Pennsyl
vania, the Western Maryland, the Mis
souri Pacific, the Texas Pacific and the
Oilorado Southern. He said he owned
no shares In either the Union Pacific
or the Southern Pacific Mr. Rockefel
ler said he was opposed to the keeping
of millions of dollars of surplus by the
Standard.
Arehbold Gloats Over Fight.
John P. Arehbold. vice-president of
the Standard, proved to be a mine of
detailed Information under the direc
tion of the company's counsel, regard
Irg the yearly production of crude
oil and the development of the pipe
line system. Sir. Arehbold probably
will be on the witness stand several
days.
Mr. Arehbold beamed with satisfac
tion in teltng of the Standards early
history. His eyes twinkled when he
told of the industrial fights, saying
that he kept close watch on his com
petitor and "then tried to beat him."
It Is not unlikely that an adjourn
ment will be taken tomorrow until
next Monday.
F.oaiK-s Process-Server.
There was a lively scene in the cor
ridor of the Customs House as Mr.
Rockefeller was leaving the building
at the conclusion of his testimony Ite
today. A process-server tried to
thrust a suhpena Into the hands of the
Standard Oil head, but a law clerk ac
companying .Mr. Rockefeller saw hls
purpose and before the eubpena could
be served, h pushed Mr. Rockefeller
Into an elevator. The elevator shot
downward, carving Mr. Rockefeller out
of the man's reach. The process-server
hurried to the street, but Mr. Rocke
feller had dlsapeared. The man would
not say whether the suit In which he
wished to suhpena Mr. Rockefeller was
a civil actton or one connected with the
present case.
Owns Over One-Third or Stock.
For the'flrst time since he has been on
the witness Rand at this hearing. Mr.
Rockefeller was a little late In arriv
ing today. Frank B. Kellopg, the Gov
ernment's special assistant Attorney
General, resumed his cross-examination,
taking up the organisation of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, where
he ended it yesterday. Mr. Kellogg read
what he said was a list of stocks ob
tained by tnat company In 139 for which
It had exchanged Its own shares.
He said that U2 TST out of a total of
shares of the first issue were In
the name of John D. Rockefeller. Mr.
Rockefeller said he did not own so much
stock as that, but did own shares
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey at that time and that he accepted
the other stock and distributed It to the
proper stockholders. He added that fre
cuently holders of certificates of the
Standard Oil Trust exchanged them for
the stock in the Standard Oil Company
f New Jersey rather than accept shares
of the various subsidiary companies.
"1 turned over my trust certificates to
C'e liquidating trustees." said Mr. Rocke
feller, "and obtained a paper on which
I secured shares In the constituent com
panies, which I turned In to the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey.'
Mr. Rockefeller declared that he never
acted aa an attorney for any one in this
process of liquidation.
Mr. Kellogg stated that Henry M. Flag
ler at first received SvO) shares and
later 7?.ti shares additional. Mr. Rocke
feller said he thought Mr. Flagler did

We want that railroad, that IS
what we want," said "Bat" in prize
ring English. "We haven't got any
road running into Chicago and we
want one and are going to get It."
When informed that a permit would

CAN'T DICTATE TO HOUSE
On Arrival In Capital 'Tncle Joe"
Makes Clear He No Longer
Stands Pat House Respon
sive to Popular Will.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Declaring
that there would be an honest revision
of the tariff and that there was no
present need of "fretting" about the
election of a Speaker for the House In
the 61st Congress, Speaker Cannon ar
rived today from his home in Illinois
for the approaching session of Con
gress. To Jhe newspaper men who
greeted him he added that he believed
the people would get the sort of tariff
revision they had voted for.
Mr. Cannon Issued a statement later.
In which he said that he was not at
tempting to dictate to the House and
that through the system of election
of members the people were certain
of having their views enacted into
law. Citing an example of hasty ac
tion leading to a misinterpretation of
public sentiment in regard to a tariff
bill, he expressed an opinion that no
mistake would be made next Summer
In the revision of the tariff. In his
statement the Speaker said:
Caucus to Name Speaker.
'The election of the Speaker for the
61st Congress Is yet a consider
able distance In the future. When that
Congress is able to assemble which I
presume will be" some time in March
the Republican members of the House
of Representatives will hold a caucus,
as has been the custom from the foun
dation of the party, and select a can
didate for Speaker, to be supported by
the party at the organisation of the
House. I presume that the Represent
atives will be perfectly competent to
select tholr Speaker, and I do not see
any present need for fretting about
the matter.
Honest Revision, of Course.
"Of course there will be an honest
revision of the tariff. We made the
campaign on that Issue and every Re
publican member was elected with that
In view. Every one of those Republi
cans, without an exception, will, I be
lieve, strive to the best of his intelli
gence and ability to -sustain the tariff
results desired by the people who
elected him. All will not have the same
views, and each one cannot have his
own way altogether. There must be
mutual concession and compromise, out
of which will come the result which,
on the whole. Is most acceptable or
least objectionable to all. That is ac
cording to civilized and enlightened
government, it is the barbarian who

Miss i Ruth Watson Returns From
Orient and Lists Value or;
Curios Too Low.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24. (Special.)
Miss Roth Watson, a Portland teacher,
who has been touring the Orient, arrived
on the Mongolia Sunday, along with
quite a collection of curios, silks and
other interesting articles from the land
of the chrysanthemum and cherry blos
som. She is now at the St. Francis, de
nying herself to visitors on the excuse
that she Is ill, while the customs offi
cials are .appraising, her baggage at the
appraisers' building.
She made her "declaration," listing her
Importations as of a value of 400, and
there is where the sticking point comes,
for the keen-eyed Government agents
assert that another figure should be
added. Miss Watson, however, added
to the regular "declaration" a statement
to the effect that part of the articles
enumerated were for her personal use
and a part to be sold or for other par
ties. This simple statement has relieved the
returning teacher from the charge of at
tempted smuggling and the penalties of
undervaluation, for as soon as she is
able to' visit the Custom-house she may
pay the duty on the articles which were
"for others" tinder the valuation made
by the authorities and go her way, takT
Ink her doll ciothes with her.

TROOPS ARRIVE TOO LATE
Judge Holds Hurried Session When
Lawyers' Pleadings Fail to Paci
fy Mob Demanding Lives of
Deputy's Murderers.
UNION CITY, Tenn., Nov. 24. The llt-
rtle town of Tiptonville, bordering on Reel-
foot Lake, which has been the scene of
many stirring Incidents in the rast month,
witnessed the lynching late this afternoon
of three negroes, who were arrested this
morning for having murdered Special
Deputy Sheriff Richard Burruss and
fatally wounding John Hall, a Deputy
Sheriff.
The negroes were Marshall Steinback,
Edward Steinback and Jim Steinback.
These brothers created a disturbance at
a religious meeting near Tiptonville, Sat
urday night, and, when the officers at
tempted to arrest them, a fight ensued.
In which the negroes shot the officers
and made their escape. It was barely
daylight Sunday morning before a posse
of citizens from Tiptonville and surround
ing places was in pursuit, but they suc
cessfully eluded the white men until 8
o'clock this morning, when they were
surrounded and captured in a swamp near
the village of Ridgeley.
Mob Demands Lynching.
The vicinity is known as "the old river
bed canebrake" and it is difficult to trace
a man or beast through its tangles. Once
captured, however, the negroes, covered
by a hundred guns, were quickly landed
In Jail at Tiptonville. They had two
guns in their possession, tot had run. out
of ammunition.
News of the capture spread quickly to
the Burroundlng country and, in addition
to the 600 members of the posse, men be
gan arriving by every road and soon the
Jail was surrounded by a mob which had
no hesitancy in threatening a lynching.
Pleads in Vain for Law.
J. L. Burnette, a well-known lawyer,
pleaded with t.ie mob not to lynch the
negroes. He recited the recent outrages
which had disgraced the vicinity. He
admonished his hearers not to do any
thing desperate, but to let the law take
its course, although at the same time
promising that full Justice would be done
the three black men. This met with
growls of disapproval and Mr. Burnette,
seeing that his remarks were of no avail,
pleaded with the men, if they were de
termined to lynch the negroes, to wait
until nightfall.
Taylor Hall, a brother of the injured
Deputy Sheriff, followed Mr. Burnette.
He said In effect that a postponement of
the lynching until tonight would be sat
isfactory to him.
The mob, however, was relentless and

Request for Seemly, Modest Apparel
Taken as Ban on Decollete
Gowns.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. , 24. (Special.)
Bishop Williams' ban on bare heads and
bare necks was observed by the society
women' of Omaha, who attended- the wed
ding of Miss Nathalie Merriam and Bar
ton Millard at Trinity Cathedral this
evening. Although the bishop's edict had
evoked a storm of criticism, every head
was covered and there were no decollete
gowns in evidence.
In asking that women who attended
the wedding come with their heads
covered, the bishop made the request
"that all right-minded women shall obey
the rule of the ohureh rather than the
behests of fashion as to seemly and
modest apparel In the house of God,-'
which was interpreted as meaning that
decollete "gowns were not desired.
The bishop also disclaimed any desire
"to prescribe "what women should wear
on their heads beyond what the require
ments of Christian courtesy for other
people demand as to sight and hearing."

Negro Boy oh Bicycle Almost Runs

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Because he

Church last Sunday, Gilbert Boyer, a
negro youth, was arrested on the charge
of "not having a suitable, bell on his
bicycle,"
Boyer was released upon putting up
$5 collateral, which he forfeited rather
than stand trial yesterday upon the
charge.
When President Roosevelt shouted at
Boyer to admonish him for his reckless
riding, the , negro - merely grinned and
pedalled swiftly away. It was not until
he was pursued and arrested by the
Secret Service men that Boyer became
aware of the President's identity.

Shown by Officers of Nearby
Boats. Which. Refused to

MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Nov. 24. (Spe
cial.) A terrible story of lake marine
privation was told today by six Mil
waukee members of the crew of the
steamer Pascall P. Pratt, which burned
a few days ago off Long Point, Lake
Erie. The Milwaukee survivors are
F'ank Brooks, Thomas Cunningham,
Jessie Haines. Edward Peterson, J. A.
Goodrich and Edward J. Farmer.
Crew,Escapes In Boals.
The boat burned Wednesday last and
the crew escaped in small boats. "The
steamer might have been saved from
total loss, or even great damage but
for the fact that four or five other
vessels moored near us Ignored our
predicament." declared Steward Farmer.
"Our captain, blew a call for help when
fire was discovered and swung the
Pratt around so that one or two lumber
hookers nearby could come alongside.
"They paid no attention to us, how
ever. Boats from one of the tow
barges took six of our crew of 17 men
ashore when the Pratt was abandoned,
but when the boat was returning to
take off the others the captain of the
tow barge signaled his men to return
to the barge and they left us in the
lurch.
Fire Cuts Off Pumps.
"One yawl, however, was able to
land the rest of the crew. Had it been
rough, we would all have perished. As
it was the yawl was crowded nearly to
swamping with members of the crew.
The -Are cut off the engineers from
the pumps, which forced us to aban
don the vessel at once.
"We had a bad trip before the fire.
Owing to the heavy sea which went
over us at every sweep. It took 11
hours to make 63 miles to Long Point.
The Pratt was leaking like a basket,
so we then ran to the Canadian shore
to pump her out before starting to re
sume the trip to the upper lakes. Then
came the Are."
