NEW YORK. Nov. -5. Detailed fnfnr
mat ion of th maKnftwto and diersity
f the Standard oil Company's business
was plven y John D. Arehhold. .vice
pre.sirlent of the company, on the resump
tion of his testimony today In the hrar-
ln of the Federal suit to dissolve the
dl combination. Mr. Arehhold said that
it was the Standard which, by eliminating
the jobbers and retailers, stepped In and
jcreatly redured the price of oil to the
consumer. The hearings were adjourned
t.Klav. after a brief session, until nex
Monday, when Mr. Archbold will resume
his testimony.
That even those closely Identified with
the Standard in Its early days did not
recognize Its future possibilities was
broujeht out today when Mr. Archholi
said that in the eighties fears were wide
spread that the supply of crude oil would
be depleted and that, accordingly, he
parted with some of his shares at 70 and
o cents on the dollar.
Got Closer to Consumer.
John D. Archbold, vice-president of the
company, was late In arriving" today.
Moritz Rosenthal, of counsel for the
Standard Oil Company, developed from
Mr. Archbold's testimony facts regarding
the early market for oil. In the early
days he said the Jobber and retailer ex
acted extortionate profits, which caused
complaint and the Standard tried to get
closer to th consumer. OH was taken in
hulk cars Instead of barrels to the mar
kettng centers, where it was retailed to
the consumer In wagons. This increased
the oil trade and xeduced the cost to the
consumer.
Counsel for the company placed In evi
dence reports showing productions of
crude oil In various cities.
The mid-continent field, which includes
Kansas. Oklahoma and contiguous states.
said Mr. Archbold. showed a constantly
Increasing production till the Standard
started purchasing producing properties
In when the "shut in movement
started.
The witness stated that In l$9fi the
total crude oil production In the l nited
States waa 124.493.936 barrels, of which
the Standard produced 14.052.113 barrels.
In llHMi the total production of oil by the
Standard Oil Company was 64.9oS.30l
ba rrels.
Mr. Archbold said that in the early 'Sn's
there were constant anxieties that the
crude oil would be exhausted.
Archbold Feared Exhaustion.
" "I must say that at the expense of my
own sagacity." said Mr. Archbold. 'I
shared in the ame anxiety and I sold
Home of my Standard Oil shares In the
curly S0s. after the trust was formed,
at Trt and 10 cents on the dollar."
Mr. Archbold laughingly said that he
had little opinin of the production ca
pacity of the mid-continent field when
it was first discovered, and said:
1 aid at that time that I would un
dertake to drink all the oil that was
produced In that section.'
The value of the refineries that went
frto the Standard OH Trust In 1SR2 was
$17.n0.fort. said Mr. Archbold. and the
alue In ! of the refineries in the com
p.ny. Including manufactories, was $57.-
Mr. Archbold spoke of the policies of
ttie Standard with respect to the local
construction of Its refineries.
The manufacture of these products,
said Mr. Archbold. played a most im
portant part in the refining of oil. He
said the Standard had employed the
greatest experts In chemistry to discover
and improve the by-products.
An adjournment until next Monday was
then taken.
PRINCE LEADS GAY LIFE
(Continued from First Page.)
times as M. Bonnet dramatically enacted
om? of the scenes.
Asks Allowance for Children.
George Gould, as trustee of his sister's
estate, is party to the suit. In which it
Is sought. In addition to securing the
custinly of the children, to obtain a large
annual allowance for their maintenance.
M. Bonnet asked for &s much as wo.V
a year for this purpose, but said that he
was willing that the court should fix the
amount.
It Is evident from today's proceedings
that iM. Bonnet had detectives constantly
on the track of the former wife f .his
client.
De Pagan's attorney, M. Clemenceau,
is expected to retaliate next week by
laying bare Count Bonl's record.
The opinion is that today's array of
evidence was strong, rendering" a dcls
Ion In favor of the withdrawal of tne
custody of the children from their motljer
much more likely than had been expected.
Reason for Count" Action.
ThLs Is the first time the French news
papers, which are forbidden to publish
divorce proceedings in court, have had
an opportunity to ventilate this scandal,
and they were represented In force by
reporters and artists.
M. Bonnet presented the general
ground upon which his client stated
that the three children be con
fided to the care of their grandmother,
the Count's mother, and that the Prln
cces should be compelled to contribute
to their support. The allegation is In
three a,-Tji:
First, the alleged scandalous conduct
'f Prince Helie d- Sacan In the past;
t-econd. that he had not reformed since
his marriage M. Bonnet said he was
prepared to prove that the Prince had
h-vn two of lits former mistresses since
t'-e date of his marriage and. third, that
t.ie conduct of trie Princess before her
n:nrr'ae to IV Sagan had been improper.
Proc eeding. 3d. Bonnet developed this
theme:
Dragged Into Abyss of Shame.
Xeeplrg constantly to the fore the
clhim that the Count was seeking only
.tne weif.ire of his children, he atd it
was with a sad heart that the Count
ha- he n compelled to bring a suit in
volving his former wife, whose alli
ance with I e Sagan. he declared, was
dragging hr into an abyss of shame,
and who.He pride and hatred rendered
a settlement out of court Impossible.
To prove that the princess had con
templated seeking a separation from
her present husband. M. Bonnet re
counted certain alleged consultations
held November 8 between the Prince
and Princess de Sagan ani the Count's
lawvers. He said the Princess on this
occasion admitted the difficulty of hav
ing the children live under the same
roof with the Prince, and proposed to
turn two of them over to the .Count
and keep tho third herself. The Prince,
at this consultation,, complained that
if there was a separation his creditors
would descend upon him and seize his
effects. Two days later, however, the
Princess publicly denied that a separa
tion was contf inplated ar.d this ended
the hope oi compromise.
Anna's Hatred of Hon!.
M. Bonnet declared that his client de
sired to respect the dignity of his form
er wife. He said that if the Count had
committed a grave wron? in the pant,
this had been fully expiated, and that
he would not Intervene now had the Prin
cess married a man of reasonably moral
respectability, but by her marriage to
the Prince, she had forfeited her right
to her children.
M. Bonnet then entered upon an elab
orate exposition of the grief of his client..
He described,- among other things, the
humiliation to which the Count on several
different occasions had been subjected.
Once, when he brought the children back
to their home after a visit to him. the
servants of the Princess, on their mis
tress orders, refused to allow- him to
pass the gate, and after his election to
the Chamber of Deputies she replied to a
telegram of congratulation from ona of
his constituents in the following words:
"I am happy that you're content that
you have elected a rogue instead of a
worthy man."
Intimacy Before Murrhie.
This was before she secured her di
vorce from the Count. Turning to the
Prince de Sagan, M. Bonnet said that
before his marriage he was reduced to
a pitiable plight. He was hounded by
his creditors and renounced by his fam
ily; that he had no abode and was liv
ing in questionable company. After
ridiculing De Sagan's public profession
of love for his future wife, counsel, for
the Count referred to the Princess al
leged improper conduct with De Sagan
before their marriage. He said she re
reived him Intimately in her house on
the Avenue Malaknff. rode and dined
with him alone in Paris and that while
in Italy they traveled together and
carefully concealed their whereabouts
from the Count, thues rnaKlng It impos
sible for him to communicate with his
Children.
Furthermore. M. Bonnet went on,
De Sagan last Summer, in the name
of his chauffeur, rented an $sm.000 villa
at St. Cloud and received his future
wife there secretly and nt her country
seat, the Chateau Mantis. The Prince
occupied a room on the same corridor.
While in New York the members of the
Could family declined to receive Ie
Sagan, hence the clandestine departure
of the Prince and the Countess from New
York on different -steamers. At Rome
they tried to secure the annulment of
the marriage of the Count and Countess
by the Pope and, failing in this, De
Sagan became a Protestant In order
to make their marriage possible.
Scandal to Hotel (Quests.
M. Bonnet dwelt at length upon what
he termed the demoralizing Influence of
De Sagan upon the Princess, saying 'he
had dragged her into the Bohemian life
which he loved, to the complete neglect
of her children.
The lawyer then declared that the con
duct of the couple at the Hotel Des Res
ervoirs at Versailles was so scandalous
that the other guests refused to allow
their children to play with the De Cas
tellans children. De Sagan spent his
evenings In the apartments of Mme.
Gould. After h left Versailles for Eng
land under the name of Thompson, one
of the children1 fell ill and the Count
had the child removed by force. The
Countess thereupon notified the husband
that she would not be responsible for his
bill.
No relative of either the Prince or
Mme. Gould was present at their mar
riage In London on Judy 7, but De Sagan
sent a telegram to Berlin requesting that
Emperor William be notified of the cere
mony. Since the marriage the children
had complained to their grandmother,
the Marquise de Castellane. that the
conduct of the Prince was distasteful to
them, giving examples and incidents.
Prince Has Been t'nfaithftil.
Going back to the record of the Prince
before his marriage, M. Bonnet reviewed
his escapades. Of recent years De Sa
gan's life has been a veritable vaudeville
performance. M. Bonnet said. He ex
plained that De Castellane had been In
formed of the Prince's conduct through
a chauffeur with whom the Prince had
had a misunderstanding. He declared
that the Prince had called upon his for
mer mistresses since his marriage. Spe
cial mention was made of one Jeanne
I-jabouehe. Since his marriage he had
taken luncheon and dined with Mile. La
bouche. gone on trips with her and had
deposited 2"0 to her credit. For this
money the Prince took a receipt, which
he hid in his stocking. He subsequently
turned this paper over to his chauffeur,
who in turn gave it to De Castellane. In
the same manner De Castellane got pos
session of a receipt for $10 which he gave
to another woman on July 10.
The lawyer then said that, when the
Princess chided her husband for these
actions, he confessed the fault and said
that, if she would give him an allowance,
he would enter a monastery for the r?st
of his life. This remark was greeted with
laughter from the crowded courtroom.
Kctaliate on Honk
M. Bonnet Insisted that his client had
refused all money considerations for crtn-
nt to leave the children in the posses
sion of the De Sagans.
There was a lively tilt between the at
torneys after the Introduction of the
names of De Sagan's mistresses. M.
Clemenceau, who represents the Prin
cess, gave warning that he would re
taliate In kind when he discussed the
career of De Castellane.
To show the Count's solicitude for his
children M. Bonnet read some letters
written by the Count to them while they
were In America. In which he asked
them to pray for him as he was praying
for them. After the marriage of the
Prince and Mme. Gould, the Count wrote
to his children that he was sorry they
would be forced to live with a 'bandit."
Anna Will Hue Marriage.
The Princess will some day rue her
marr'aee to a man of De Sagan's type,"
M. Bonnet declared He closed with a
high tribute to the Marquise de Castel
lane and said the keeping of the children
In her custody would be a proper solution
of the whole affair.
M. Bonnet said that, while he asked for
a year with the view of creating a
fund for the children or protecting their
interests In the future event of another
child being horn to the Princess, he was
willing to allow the court to fix the
amount of this payment.
M. Clemenceau, for the prince and Prin
cess, will reply next week.

Ifl ITALIAN AUTO
Splendid Race for Interna
tional Championship of
Light Cars.
HILLIARD FINISHES FIRST
Little lied Lancia Car Is. Swiftest,

citing Incidents of liace.
RACK COURSE, Savannah, Ga., Nov.
25. A little, red. Italian car, with four
cjllnders. that hummed like giant bum
blebees and with an American driver at
the wheel, today won the .first Interna
tional light-car race ever held in this
country. In doing so, the car and driver
st;t a high record of 52.56 miles an hour
for 196 miles' journey over a part of the
circuit, which tomorrow will be used by
the grand-prize racers.
William M. Milliard, of Boston, in a
I.ancia car. named after the famous
Italian driver, proved the winner. The
elapsed time was 3 hours 43 minutes and
23 seconds. Robert Burman, driving
Buick car No. fc. iinished second, more
than six minutes behind the winner. L.
B. Lorimer. seated at the throttle of the
Chalmers-Detroit No. 10. fought his way
into third position: E. H. Hearns, -fiuick
No. 11, was fourth, and Al Poole's Italian
Usolta was tlfth.
Flock Brings Vp Hear.
Then came a whole flock of two-cylinder
Maxwells, Arthur See in No. 9 fin
ishing sixth and Carl Kelsey in No. 17
finishing seventh. Costello's Maxwell
No. 12 and Munweiler'w 15 were in eighth
and ninth positions resp3ctively when the
rare was called off. The only other car
running at this time was the French car
Spo. which had been especially rebuilt
for the rare, but was continuously In
trouble, succeeding finally In making only
live circuits of the 9.S-mlle course.
The race whs run under Rapphire skies
and in the warmth of a Summer's sun,
which made overcoats uncomfortable.
A crowd of many thousands filled the
firand stand at thd finish line and many
thousands lined the course on all sides.
But the crowd remained at a respectful
distance, for fc'uo militiamen were thrown
about the circuit and they kept the path
way or ine cars absolutely free from
trespass.
One Mechanic Knocked Out.
While there were many minor mishaps
to the cars, the only serious wreck came
at the very close of the racing. Easter
man, driving Buirk No. 14, had been In
trouble early in the day and was driving
pellmell on his fourteenth lap when he
lost the road and went crashing Into the
ditch. The mechanician-, Frank Thomp
son, was hurled from the car and ren
dered unconscious. It was thought at
first that he had been killed, but he re
gained consciousness later and It was
said tonight that he would surely re
cover. Car No. 1.1. a Chalmers, driven by w.
R. Burns, went crashing Into a tree on
the very first round of the course and
the chauffeur lost four of his front teeth
Burns did not draw No. 13 originally, but
exchrnced with a more timid driver, who
wiis fearful lest fh.. fated number should
bring him ill luck.
Duel Between Two Cars.
The race was a duel between the cars
that finished first and second from the
very start. Burman in his Buick held
the lead for the entire fir-c ....
rare: Then he slopped to replace a lost
nut and Milliard drove the Lancia into
the lead, which he never relinquished.
Only once did the little red car come to
a standstill. Then it was only for a sec
ond, to allow the mechanician to take
on board two small cans of lubricating
oil. which he fed by hand later into the
throbbing motor. Burman fought valiant
ly to regain his lost advantage, but to
no purpose. The Lancia kept humming
away over the ground with engines muf
fled, while Burman in his Buick and
Lorimer in a Chalmers kept tapping and
barking with an open exhaust at his
heels.
Figlit for Second Place.
Once Lorimer got by Burman and held
the honor of second position during the
14th. 15th and 16th of the 20 laps, but
Burman. known as one of the most
daring drivers at the course, kept crowd
ing his engines and urging his car for
ward until lie was again in second place.
Milliard in the Lancia meantime had
gained nearly a lap on his rivals. Early
In the rare it was seen that the Lanria
was running more smoothly and holding
the track better than any of the other
cars and was hailed as a winner by the
knowing ones as early as the third lap.
Hilliard seemed to be driving with ease
and nonchalance, as though out, for a
pleasure trip, and did not seem to be
using the maximum of his power at any
stage of the contest. The little Lancia
is rated as only 12 to 16-horsepower, but It
fairly swept the heavier "baby racers"
on" their feet.
Buirk car No. 11. driven by Hearne, was
In a contending position throughout and
hold third place for a long while, fight
ing over every Inch of the roadway with
Chalmers No. 1.
Spectators. Always on Feet.
The IS cars starting in the race 12 of
American, two Italian and one of French
manufacture were sent away at half
minute Intervals and kept in clusters
throughout. At times there were as high
as four of the .little racers In the home
stretch in view of the grandstands and
the sharpness of the struggles between l
them kept the great crowds continuous
ly fin their feet.
The ofricial time In hours, minutes and
seconds of the seven cars allowed to finish
was
Lancia. 3:43:3.1: Buick No. s, 3:49:45:

rected the rescuing boats. Captain
Littler's body, terribly mutilated, was
landed in the presence of large crowds,
which stood uncovered. The other
bodies were also mutilated and burned.
One of the rescued passengers gave
a graphic account of the disaster.
Story of Passenger.
"The Sardinia." he said, "left Valetta
at 9:15 this morning. We were Just
outside the harbor and the crew was
securing the anchor when the cry of
fire was heard. Flames could be seen
issuing from the port side. A hose was
promptly brought up and a stream
poured down the ventilator, from
which the flames were issuing, but
this did no good. In less than ten
the other ventilators. The whole vessel
amidships was wrapped in flames.
"The Ara"b passengers were told to
leave the hatch, to which they clung
desperately, but they refused to move.
All who remained forward perished,
except those who leaped into the water.
Arabs Refuse to Jump.
"In the meantime naval pinnaces hur
ried to the scene. They could not ap
proach close on account of the high
seas and failing spars. The European
passengers being aft. were in compar
ative safety and the great majority of
these eventually succeeded in reaching
shore. The Arabs, among whom were
many women and children. . clung to
gether, shrieking, and but few of them
would jump overboard, although urged
to do so by the men manning boats wait
ing to pick them up.
"The ship's boats were rendered use
Ices by the flames and no attempt was
made to get them over the sides. Soon
the hatches were blown off with loud
explosions, throwing Arabs into the air
and killing and Injuring many of them.
Amazingly good order prevailed among
the crew, considering the rapidity of
the terrible affair. After a few minutes
had been spent in trying to put out the
firjj nothing remained but to jump over
board. Arab Women Calmer Than Men.
"Many of the Arab women behaved
with greater calmness than the men. who
were panic-stricken." -
The cause of the fire is not known, but
denial has been made that there were
explosives aboard. Unquestionably, how
ever, explosions occurred and it was at
first believed that the rapid spread of
the flames was largely due to the flowing
napththa.

PORT AU PRINCa Haytl. Nov. 26.
The report that General Ijecomte, the
Haytien Minister of the Interior, has
been killed at Jeremle, was confirmed to
day. .
Upon arriving at Jeremle at the head
of a government detachment sent out
against the revolutionists. Lecomte, it
appears, found the government gunboat
Sroyant ashore. He accused the com
mander. Captain Ostema, of treason and
forthwith had him executed.
Lecomte then landed at Jeremie for
the purpose of recruiting men to fight
against the rebels. Some of the people
of Jeremie protested against this course,
whereupon Lecomte had two of the most
prominent citizens executed. -
These outrages wrought the people up
and they armed themselves and advanced
against Lecomte. Lecomte was taken
prisoner and in his turn was executed by
a fusillade upon the same wharf where
he had caused the killing of Ostema and
the other two men.
General Tancrede Auguste has been
named Minister of the Interior in suc
cession to Lecomte. He is a man of en
ergy. The revolution is progressing.

Halloway Fears to Tell of Situation
Kxisling In Corea.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Nov. 25. W. S.
Halloway, of London, who for five years
had charge of the British concessions in
Corea, and is returning after a short ab
sence, is now in this city. Mr. Halloway
said that if privileged to talk he could
tell a tale of cruelty on the part of Jap
anese in their treatment of the Coreans
which would make every member of the
white race get up in arms against the
Mikado's people.
"I am returning to Corea, and not
leaving." said Mr. Halloway, "or I would
talk. It would be one of the most start
ling stories ever published if a compe
tent newspaperman was sent to Corea and
the real condition of Japanese oppression
told to the world. It would make every
white man revolt and turn against the
Japanese. I wish I could talk, but I can
not. "1 could tell how the Japanese sur
rounded the Corean Emperor's palace
witli Maxims even after they had secured
what they wanted in the way of abdica
tion, and how no life was safe. Neither
the Government of the United States nor
England knows of the dishonesty and
lack of principle of the Japanese."
After a few days in this city Mr. Hal
loway will. leave for San Francisco, and
then sail for Corea.

people not only does not increase the pop
ulation at all, but, on the contrary, fails
to reproduce itself.
