(United Prtu Leased Wtre.l New York. Deo. 1. John D. Archbold. active head of the Standard Oil com pany, took the stand again today In the government hearing. Attorney Rosen thal, for th Standard, asked the final questions, closing the direct examina tion. Archbold. In answering th questions of Attorney Rosenthal, said the Stand ard of New Jeraey was organized in 1882 with the funds of the Standard of Ohio and capitalized at 13.000,000 to take over the real estate and refineries at Bayonne and New berg, N. J. The Standard of New York was organized under similar circumstances, he said. He admitted that he was a trustee of the Standard Oil trust from 1882 until 1892, when It was dissolved. When Kellogg took up the cross ex amination he Immediately brought out the faot that Archbold had been very active In th affairs of the Standard. Archbold' Memory Oone. Kelloer asked about the contract be tween the People's Oas and Coke com tianv of Chloaeo and the Standard, by whloh the Standard waa to furnish oil at 14 cents delivered at the works. Arcnooio couia not rememDr aDouc it. "Wasn't that the price r asked Kel- l0f" cannot remember,," said th wit ness. Wasn't it a low pricer- "I suppose It was a fair price," said Archbold. The witness said he could not remem ber what the company received from th Consolidated oas company ox inw id for the same oil. ..... .... Kellogg asked If th consonaaiea aia not pay 4V4 cents. Archbold said h could not recollect but b thought he could find out. Kellogg then brought out th fact that Archbold knew James McDonald of Lon don, once manager of th Anglo-American Oil company of London and later chief of the General Industrial Develop ment company, limited, of London. The Inquisitor asked whether Archbold could recall a loan of $3,000,000 by the Stand ard Oil to McDonald about the time the Manhattan Oil 6ompany was taken over bv the London concern. Archbold said he had no recollection of the loan being entered on the American books. Re plying to a question, h said he could not produce the books of the Anglo American company. Kellogg was endeavoring-to show that the Standard Oil company really ab sorbed the Manhattan company, but did so through the London concern. He asked whether the 13,000,000 loan were not adopted bo the London company could acquire the Manhattan, but be fore Archbold replied a recess was taken and the question, was temporarily lost. Memory Still Bad. Archbold was late in returning to the courtroom this afternoon. "Can't you remember the loan to Me DonaldT' questioned Kellogg, resuming the inquiry. "No, said Archbold. "As director, didn't you Investigate the loan after Controlling Cuthbert. treasurer of the Standard, had professed ignorance of It In a previous hearing?" persisted Kellogg. "No." "Why not?" M "I was not especially called upon to do so," was the answer. "Was the loan ever paid?" "I don't know." The witness said he would try to find out If It was. He admitted that the Standard bought the refinery pipe line of the Indiana Pipe Line company but that he did not know the purchase price. IFOGEElSllI TO KIIOW FATE (Catted Prei Leased Wire.)

It was feared that spectators might be stirred to summary action by the details of the testimony relating to Russian atrocities, which yesterday were so horrible that many were forced to leave the court room. Attorney Rlgbv. representing the In terests of Russia In the case, said to day that he had received a second threatening letter. He said the mis sive was from Pittsburg and was signed "An Anarchist." The signer threatened to stab him unless he withdrew from the case and left Chicago. Books admitted in evidence In the hearing tend to show that a revolution existed in Russia at the time alleged by the witnesses for Rudovitj. thus overthrowing the contention of the Rus slon counsel that no revolution existed and that therefore Rudovitas was not a political prisoner.

Such is the question that Is to be decided at a special meetings of the club next Monday evening in the "club rooms In the Hotel Sargent, Grand and Hawthorne avenues. Upon the decision of the members will rest the Drobable future of any and all east side social clubs which undertake to compete in club equipment with the organisations of the west side. When the East Side club was formed some two years ago great Interest was shown In It. and wide publicity was given the splendid furnishings of th club rooms in th Sargent building. , Gradually, however, tho members began to lose interest. When they wished to spend an evening: at the club, as man haa done since Adam took a turn about the Garden of JCden every evening or so, it seemed strange to stay on fbqir own side of the Willamette. So fixed has become the habit of crossing the river for recreation in th minds of even the most ardent ihouters of "Talk, Trade and Try the East Sid," that the club rooms in the Sargent gradually lost their throngs.

Following out the procedure prescribed by law. Receiver Walter Neidner closed the deal by notifying T. J. Scroggin that the bid of the United States National had been aaccepted In view of the fact that no higher bids had been presented during the five days which Circuit Judge Knowles set aside for that pur pose When the bid of $25,000 was made by the new banking firm, a certified check of $1000 accompanied th bid. This sum has been turned in on the purchase price, leaving $24,000 which must be paid on or before January 2, 1909. From the ranks of the new bankers nothing as to future plans can be as certained, but at the meeting of the stockholders to be held In the near future steps will be taken for the pub lic announcement of permanent officers and future policies. December 10 is the likely date of this meeting. Receiver Nledner was In Ontario Sat urday looking after the Farmers,: Trad ers National bank property there which has been listed as worth $8000. It con sists of four lots and a large hotel building. In the opinion of the receiver the property is worth between $7000 and $O00 and when he la able to realize a sflm within these limits, ha will apply for an order of sale. While there he was offered $5000 in cash, but refused it, believing a larger sum can be real ised. The matter of sale is now In the hands of a real estate firm at On tario. Neidner Is confident of being able to secure $7000 for the property at least. This is an asset of the de funct bank.
