ported l.ere today that President Elect

' -Washington. Deo. 1. President Elect
Taft, Frank H. Hitchcock and Repre-
(tentative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio
have held a conference at Hot Springs
and it has been decided that under no
circumstances will Burton be a candi
date for the speakership of the house.
This is the statement given out today
by Hitchcock.
-The rumored withdrawal of Burton
from the Ohio senatorial race makes
him a possibility for a cabinet position.
Hitchcock Is known to be anxious to
settle the party's difficulties in Ohio,
' and If a cabinet position were pffered
Burton It would allow him to retire
jrrace fully and open a way for the set
tlement of the trouble. If the contest
. between Burton and, Charles P. Taft
had continued, soma of the Republican
lenders feared Foraker might have been
; able to regain his old strength In Ohio,

THE WITNESS
Archbold Ends Story of Con
solidation;, Then Mem
ory Leaves Him.
(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.

Extra guards were thrown about the
court room when the hearing began to
day. 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. The books consisted
of a stenographic transcript of Jfhe pro
ceedings in which the- Russian govern
ment charged 65 members of the douma
with fomenting a revolution throughout
the empire, resulting In a widespread

Members of East Side Organ

Decide Next Monday.
Is the East Side club to die or is It
to take a new lease of life?
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.
The board of directors and President
Whitney U Boise have sent out notices

Company of La Grande Men
Buys the Farmers &
Traders Structure.
(Special Diipatch to Th Journal.)
La Grande, Or., Deo. 1. The Farmers
& Traders' National bank building is
now the property of tho United States
National bank, a local association
formed for the purpose of conducting a
general banking: bupslness in this city.
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.

If you are subject to headache,
backache, neuralgia, epilepsy, weak

organs get their energy from the
nerves, and when they are out of

force.

MODERN ELECTRIC
MARVELS
The action of th modern high
potential, high frequency currents
Is entirely different from that oj -ordinary
electricity. Although
glass is considered to be an insu
lating material, we see thi form
of electricity apparently pass
through the glass electrodes used
In treating skin diseases, ulcers
and enlarged glands, and an In
tense current may traverse the
body without producing- any sen
sation whatever. As the nerve
currents of the body are essen
tially electric In character. It fol
lows that this powerful form of
electricity Is the best possible
form of treatment for all nervous
diseases, and experience shows
that it cures nervous debility,
neuralgia, sciatica, nervous head
aches, neurasthenia. Ia rheuma
tism It 1 equally effective, and
aided by th radiant heat of th
high powr lectrla light. It re
move Inflammation from the
joints, or from any part of th
body. This power over Inflamma
tion makes the treatment curative
in a great many condition whloh
are not influenced to any extent .
by medicine or ordinary methods
of treatment: such a gastritis,
rhronlo bronchitis, consumption
(first and second stages), catarrh
of the stomach, appendicitis.
Such troubles as Indigestion,
asthma, chronio constipation and
piles yield readily to It, and wher-.
ever there is an Infection It Is
" killed by tbe action of antiseptics
driven through th tissue by th
electric current.
N. B. This treatment is pe
culiarly effective In disease of
the . prostate, and being applied
dlf-ectly to the part affected, will
remove congestion and reduce an-.
