| \ DENIED BY OIL TRUST Octopus Replies to Allegations in Government Suit. DID NOT STIFLE COMPETITION Asserts That Unlawful Deals Charged Against the Corporation Were Le- gltimate and Not for the Purpose of Monopolizing the Trade. St. Louls, July 16.—The answer of the Standard Ol company and its allled companies and officers to the action brought against them here by the federal department of justice was filed during the day. Taking up each of the specific allegations of the com- plaint it denies that the defendants have engaged in any conspliracy In re- straint of trade in ofl; that it has at- tempted to stifie competition by com- pelling competitors to sell out; that it has crushed competition or that it secured rebates which were denied to 1ts competitors. Special denlal 1s made that in 1876 and 1877 the Erie and New York Cen- tral Railroad companles made prefer- entlal rates to the Standard Ofl com- pPany on shipments of oil from West- ern Pennsylvania to New York as low as 20 oents per barrel for oil, while competitors were compelled to pay $1.40 to $1.75 for simllar shipments. The higher rates are declared to have been well known to all shippers as nominal and that they knew that the actual rates were matters of special arrangement between the shippers and the rallroads because of the rate then prevalling between railroads anx- lous to secure oil traffic. Dental {3 also made that these pref- erential rates were made to enable the Standard Oil company to make war on the Empire Transportation company or destroy its competition. The answer denles that an agreement ‘was made between the Standard Oil company, the Erie, New York Central and Pennsylvania Raflroad companies in 1877 by which the oil trafic was divided between these roads under an agreement to pay the Standard Ofl company an exclusive rebate of 10 per cent. Its Intentions Legitimate. The allegation that the Standard Oil oompany forced a sale of the business of the Empire Transportation com- pany 1s denled, but it is admitted that the Standard bought out the business in order to extend its own. Denial is made that in 1872 or 1882 the Standard Oll company secured a monopoly of the pipe lines from the Western Pennsylvania ofl field, en- abling it to fix the rates of trams portation, or that the Standard Oil company caused the railroads to dis- criminate against competitors or to monopolize the commerce In ofl. Admission {8 made that in 1887 or 1889 the Continental Ofl company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil com- pany, contracted with the United Btates Oil company and the Florence Ofl and Refining company to take thelr entire products and that it con- tinues to do so now that the contract has expired, but the defendants de- olare that this was not done to sup- press competition. The allegation in the government’s complaint that the Standard Oil com- pany has secured a monopoly of the ofl trade in ‘the Northwestern states by Inducing the railroads to refuse to make through rates from St. Paul and Duluth to Eastern points is denied. The charge that the profits of the Standard Oil company In excess of dividends are enormous is declared to be false. In conclusion the defendants denied that they have entered into any un- lawful combination or confederacy. YAMAMOTO STARTS HOME. Leaves for Japan by Way of Boston and Montreal.

Humphrey of the Central district of the Indlan Ter- ritory. As a result of the Investiga- tlon Judge Humphrey has been exon- erated of all charges reflecting upon his integrity, but has been admon- ished that the form of certain proceed- ngs were such as to subject him to eriticlsm. SEIZED SHIP'S PAPERS. American Flshing Bark Boarded by Ruosslan Gunboat. - San Francisco, July 16.—The bark- entine §, N. Castle, Captain Pedersen, has arrived here from the cod fishing grounds off the coast of Siberla and reported that the vessel had been boarded by the Russian gunboat Mand- jur, her ship’s papers taken and warned to stay thirty miles from the shore under threat of belng confls- Gated and the officers and crew taken to Pctropaviovsk in Irons. Captain . Pedersen stated "that on June 18 he was cod fishing in the Ok- hotsk sea elght miles from the shore in company with the schooner J. D. Spreckels, the barkentines Fremont and City of Papete, all from San Fran- clsco, when the Mandjur hove in sight. The commanding officer, said Captain Pedersen, boarded the Castle, seized not only the ship’s clearance papers, but all of Captain Pedersen’s private papers and his master's commission and certificate. Captala Pedersen re- monstrated, declaring that his vessel was outside of the .three-mile limit and therefore he was violating no law. The Russian commander, however, stated that no fishing would be al- lowed within thirty miles of the shore and gave the Castle and other vessels seven days to get beyond that limit. As a number of the Fremont's crew were on shore at the time the vessels remained for six days awaiting their return. When on the sixth day the gunboat again appeared on the horizon the Castle and Spreckels sailed for San Francisco, leaving the Fremont and the Papete In the Okhotsk sea. Cuptain Pedersen will lay the matter before United States District Attor- ney Robert T. Devlin and request that it be taken up by the Washington au- thorities at once. FAILS TO HIT M. FALLIERES Would-Be Assassin Fires Twice at French President. Paris, July 16.—When the national fete was at its helght, just after Pres- ident Fallicres had reviewed the troops in the presence of an enthusi- astic crowd, the galety of the day was marred by an attempt to assassinate the president of the French republic by Leon Maillee, a naval reservist of Havre, who, it is believed, is suffering from the mania of persecution. Maillee fired two shots at the president, but did not hit him. He was at once ar- rested. The attempt on his life occurred on Avenue des Champs-Elysees while the president was returning to the palace from Longchamps, where he had re- viewed the garrison of Paris in the presence of 250,000 enthusiastic peo- ple. Premier Clemenceau and M. Lanes, the president’s secretary, were with the presideat In his landau, which was escorted by a squadron of cuiras- slers. The carriage had safely emerged from the Boise de Boulogne, where the anti-militarists had stationed them- selves with the intention of hooting the soldiers, and was descending the broad Champs-Elysees amid the accla- mation of the crowds thronging the sidewalks when, at the corner of Le- Sueur street Maillee, from the curb, fired two shots point blank at the president in quick succession. Miraculously no one was hit. Pres- ident Fallleres was cool and collected when the cortege stopped. The diplo- mats who were following the pres- 1dent’s landau alighted from their car- riages and hurried to the side of M. Fallieres. Finding that nobody had been injured by the president’s orders the cortege moved on. BAIL FIXED AT $15,000. Court Authorizes Release of Annle M. Bradley.

Mrs, ‘The Married Woman’s Sympathy. When a married woman meets a pag- tleularly attractive, busy, contented spinster, she says plaintively: “Poor Ada, or Virginla, or Emmeline!

DEFENSE SPRINGS SURPRISE Declares Multi-Murderer's Maternal Grandfather Was Insane on the Sub- Ject of Imaginary Crimes and That His Uncle Suicided While Demented. Boise, Ida., July 16.—Harry Or- ohard, the principal witness for the state against Williagn D. Haywood, was called in'rebuttal when the trial of the secretary of the Western Fed- eration of Miners was resumed. Or- chard was In the chair about twenty minutes. The questions of ,the state wore few and in less thanyfive min- utes Orchard was turned‘over for eross-examination. E. F. Richardson, cross-examining, brought out a new feature when he asked 1f Orchard’s maternal ;grapd- father was not insane on the subject of imaginary, crimes. Orchard admif- ted that his uncle, Peter McXinney, who lived in Northumberland, Ont., bad hanged himself while insane. He denled all knowledge of a)grandfather named Patrick McKinney., This cross- oxamination was based on a,letter received by the defemse from'B. F. McKinstrey of Alemedia, Pa. Neighbor Gave Information.\ The writer claimed he receivedtthe information from Mrs. Margaret Bull of Woller, Ont.,, who was a neighbor of Patrick McKinney, the grandfather of Horsley, or Orchard. She sald Patrick McKinney was “an old style country gentleman, but he became in- sane and raved of crimes he had com- mitted in Ireland, as a result of which his family kept him: chained for years.” Orchard appeared ajlittle paler than when on the stand in} direct examina- tion, but he showed ’the same quiet self-nossession. p Willfam Dewey,(the witness who made a confosSionson Saturday, and other witnesses in rebuttal testifiad briefly. When the trigl was resumed Jud, ‘Wood announcefl the had decided to sustain the objection of the defenselto the admission in evidence of the rec- ords of the state finsane asylum show- ing the commitment to!that institu- tion of John M. Elllott, who as a wit- ness for the defense related a long conversation #which Me said he had with Harry * Orchard in November, 1806. The court cited;a statute which prowides that “insane persons shall not be‘accepted as gitpesses.” Ap- parently, he said, the; priosecuting at- torneys knéw of Ellickt’s commitment when he appeared on the stand and they shoui,d have objected ‘to his tes- timpny atthat time. ' ~ ' Dewey Again ‘on Stand. Willlam Ddewey, who startled \\the oourtroom Saturday by confessing .to participation , in the Coeur d’Alene riots and the attack on the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines, was recalled turther to identify W F. Davis as the man who handed outguns andiammu- nition the day the imob started for the mill. The defenge took advantage of Dewey's reappearance to question him further, as to hs motive for testi- fying at this time. Dewey denied that he had been allowed to go in debt to the extent of $300 to the union store at Cripple/ Creek through the lenfency of Davis, ‘who had finally refused fur- ther credit, but he admitted owing the unlon $20 ors$26 for supplies from the store. Lawrence Guibbini, the San Fran- oisco grocer who lived across the street from the Bradley apartment house, was recalled to deny that he served & drink to a man named Rellly the morning of the Bradley explosion. Rellly, who appeared as a witness for the defense), declared: Guibbini and his wife had served him a drink. Mrs, Guibbini ‘also took the stand and de- nled what: Rellly had said. = On crogs-examination Guibbini sald he had received $325 as traveling ex- penses for returning to Boise from San Francisco. Orchard Again Called. T Harry Orchard was called to the stand.; He denied he had ever been called “Shorty.” Pat Moran, the Cheyenne saloonkeeper, testified that the Nevilles came to his saloon with & man “Shorty,” whom he supposed 10 be Orchard. Orchard denied that he ever intro- duced Pinkerton Operative Gratlas to Max Malich or Joe Mehilit or that Pinkerton QOperative Riddell intro- duced him to Joe Barnes. The cross-examination by the de- fense was devoted to'inquiry into the family history of the famous criminal. “Do you lmow Patrick McKinney?” msked Richardson, i wNoW “Wasn't your grandfather named "Patrick McKinney?” “His name was McKinney—that’s 'all I know.” i “He was insane, wasn't he?” \ ! “I don't know.” nj\ “And dtdn’t he hang himself?” “I don’t know.” “Well, didn’t you have an uncle who ‘went insane aud imagined he had ‘committed a crime and hanged him- ‘self?™ ) “I never had an uncle who imagined hé committed a crime, but I did have an uncle who hanged Mmself He had been demented a year and a half. His name was Peter McKinney, a son of my grandfather on my mother’s side.” STEAMER GOES ON /ROCKS TwotHundred Passen ru\'l’lktniofi‘ Damaged Vessel, i New York, July 16—The)Long/Isl- and sound amer.

Toledo, O., July 16.—Motlons in ar- rest of judgment were flled in the lumber, brick and bridge cases here. The attorneys for the companies ap- pear to hold that sentencing their cli- ents to the workhouse is-in contra- vention of practically all of the art- fcles of the Constitution of the United States and an undoubted outrage on the rights and privileges of sald cli- ents.

Harriman, popularly dubbed the “czar of the Pacifics,” and Harrimanism in the transportation world are given a remarkable scorching in a report just made public by the interstate com- merce commission. For several months the commission and its attor- neys have been conducting a search- ing inquiry into the affairs and opera- tions of the Harriman roads. In its conclusions the commission. says: “The effect of the control of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific has been to unify and amalgamate the management of these two railways and their steamship lines and to elim- inate competition between them in transcontinental business and in busi- ness through and from Oriental points. “The joint control of the Alton road by the Union Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific has undoubt- edly eliminated competition between the Alton and the Rock Island be- tween Chicago, St. Louls and Kansas City. “These are conspicuous {llustra- tlons of the development of the theory of ‘community of Interests’ and ‘har- mony of management’ which Mr. Har- riman suggested when he demanded representation upon the Santa Fe board. “If the policy of purchasing and controlling stocks in competing lines is permitted to continue it must mean suppression of competition.” DUE TO VOLCANIC OUTBURST Peninsula of Kamchatka in Darkness for Forty-eight -Hours. San Francisco, July 16.—The out- burst of a volcano on the peninsula of Kamehatka on Feb. 18 last threw the whole country into_ utter darkness for more than forty-elght hours and re- sulted fn the starving of scores of natives, according to the officers of the barkentine 'S, N. Castle, which has reached port direct from the Ok- hotsk sea. The natives, some of whom caould speak English, told Captain Pe- dersen and his men that they had no knowledge of the gource of the terri- ble storm that had come upon them. They knew only that while they were crossing the valleys in the first flush of spring a wave of dust fell upon them, followed by utter darkness that gontinued for two days . and nights. Lava, almost hot, fell all about them and there were such show- ers of black ashes that their progress was stayed and they were lucky to find undried creeks and springs. But the party of natives was in dire straits and some of them had succumbed to their harships. In response to their request Captain Pedersen sent off two boatloads of provisions which the suf- fering natives said would suffice to keep them on the way to— Petro- pavlovek, = SENT.
