He spoke glowingly of Bemidji and said, “Excepting International Falls and Duluth, Bemidji has the greatest possibility of any northern city. It should be the capitol of a new state, should that state ever be created. International Falls is not suggested for that honor, because we have had trouble enough to become capitol of a new county.” At the close of the general meet- ing, a business session was held. The secretary gave his report for the past year and showed that he had attempted to get _the old books and records from the former secre- tary, J. W. Speelman, but he had failed in his attempt. The election of officers for the ensuing year, resulted as follows: Geo. H. Wetsel,of Tenstrike,presi- dent, L. G. Pendergast of Bemidji, vice president, H. Stechman o\f Ten- strike, secretary, and Earl Geil of Bemidji, treasurer. The matter of a place for holding the next meeting was left to the president, vice president and secre- tary, but no doubt they will decide to hold their meeting at the same time the fair association meets next year.

New York, Sept. 2,—Captain Cas- slus Marshall Sandford, only son of the late John Sandford of Covington, Ky., Who was referred to in the afii- davit of Mrs. Lulu Willlams Clark as “John Sandford” and as having been present in the statehouse at Frankfort ‘when Governor Goebel of Kentucky ‘was killed, has issued a positive denial of every one of the statements through his attorney, Charles Strong of New York, Captain Sandford, who is now living in New York after a residence of eight years in China and the Phil- ippines, said:. - “Every one of the statements of |’ Mrs. Clark is absolutely false. I never knew her (Mrs. Clark) or Gertrude King, to whom it is said I paid atten- tlon, or Turner Igo or any one else mentioned in the afiidavit. At the time of the killing of Governor Goebel, Feb. 8, 1900, I was in the Philippines on business, living with a number of army officers, by whom I can prove my residence there at that time.” - 0L TRUST'S DEFEASE Plans Revealed by Questions on Cross-Examination. EVERY CHARGE WILL BE MET Standard Official Declares That the Fight in Colorado Was Started by the Independents, Who Were the First to Cut Prices, New York, Sept. 2 —The line of defense of the Standard Ofl company of New Jersey to the allegations made by the federal government in its suit against the company was indicated in the heiring during the day when Wes- ley H. Tilford, treasurer of the Stand- ard Oil company, was cross-examined by John G. Milburn, chief of counsel for the defendants. Mr, Milburn’s in- terrogations to the witness were de- signed to show that in the oil fight in Colorado between the Standard and the independent companies the first to cut prices were the independent companies and there were no troubles made for the independent companies excepl those which arose from natural causes, Mr. Tilford explained the reason why the supply of crude oil had been cut down to the sixteen in- dependents in the Pittsburg fleld just hefore the agreement was made with the Standard was because the oil sup- ply in that district was diminishing. Mr. Milburn developed that the oil firm of Schofield, Shurmer & Teagle of Cleveland, an independent com- pany, was not forced into the Stand- ard’s control but had been taken over after many suggestions from the offi- cers of the Schofield company. The questions that adduced this testimony and others put to the witness showed that the defendants intend to meet the government oun every point raised in the long bill of complaint. On redirect examination Mr. Kellogg sought to draw from the witness that where the Standard had the selling in a field without opposition it sold its oil for over 15 cents and that where there was competition the Standard sold its oil as low as 8 cents. Mr. Tilford said that he did not know if that was the fact. EXPECTS T—O BE ACQUITTED Standard Oil Company Then Proposes to Reorganize. New York, Sept. 2 .—Official denial is given to reports that a conference of Standard Oil interests is to be held at the home of H. H. Rogers in Fair Haven, Mass. It is stated that Mr. Rogers has not been consulted re- garding Standard Oil affairs since he became ill. A representative of the Standard said: “The statement that a conference of Standard Oil interests has been called for the purpose of changing the name of the company and effecting reorgani- zation in general is without founda- tion. We can do nothing in this re- spect so long as the company is under investigation. I can say, however, that as soon as the Standard Oil com- pany has freed itself from the laby- rinth of litigation now involving it then there will be a reorganization. The capital stock will be increased to an amount more in harmony with the value of its assets, say to’$400,000,000 or $500,000,000. “We also purpose to issue periodical statements of earnings, operations, etc. We propose to give the repre- sentatives of the government every- thing in the way of information that it calls for, which is all we can do. It we are guilty of violations of the law then practically all other corpora- tions are guilty of the same offenses and should be tried accordingly. But we are confident we will win out.” WOULD ANNUL CHARTER. ' Ohioan Brings Suit Against Standard Oil Trust, Findlay, O., Sept. 2 —The case of George Phelps of this city against the Standard Oil company and its sub- sidiary concerns and many of the big company officials individually has been called before Judge Duncan in the common pleas court here.
