Pettigrew s ac- quisitive and he has been a friend of Hill for many years, but that he was a reciplent of Hill's knowledge during the recent phe- nomenal rise in Northern Pacfle is not cred- fted by those who kuow the two men." Acting Commissioner Tonner, speaking of the rumors of an uprising on the Shoshone Indian reservation fn Wyoming, sald that 80 far as the department could learn there was no truth In the story sent out from Wyoming. He sald that Agent Nickerson had intimated to the Interior department that there might be some trouble should the Indians participate in their annual sun dauce, and to guard against any possible outbreak he had asked that the troops at Fort Washakie be held In readiness for call. This request had been forwarded to the War department, but nothing had been heard from Secretary Root concerning the mat- ter. Commissioner Tonner further sald that it the dance occurred it would not take place until the middle ot mext month and nothing formidable was anticipated. Bank Changes Identity.

It means not ouly a cheap | fuel supply to the largest state iu area in the union, but owing to its close proximity to tide, it promises an export trade such as exlsts nowhere clse in the world. Prepa- rations are being made (o sink hundreds of wells and soon the present output of 500,000 barrels dally may be quadrupled “It Is entirely within the limit of proba- bility that ofl will be found at many plac throughout the coastal prarle, espectally ia | its southern extension toward the Rio | Grande and in the northeastern section of Mexico at Tamallpus. The outcrop of the territory tormations in southwest Texas, In Wilson, Atscola, McMullen, Buvall and other counties, is naturally rich in ofl and the practical ofl men are risking their money {n experimenting in that reglon. As the ofl-bearing tertiary strata extends enst of the Mississippl futo Mississippi and | Alabama, 1t is not beyond possibility that oll may be found in both these states. | "It is impoasible now to state exactly the | extent of the ofl-yielding bed which sup- plies the Beaumont wells and this can only be determined by drilling experiments, “The area of profitable exploitation of the | Beaumont oll flelds is confined between the tan Jacinto and the Sabine rivers, east of | the Houston & West Texas raliroad and | south of Oil City, Nagadoches county. This area may be extended or restricted by fu- | ture exploitation. | "It 18 probable that other ofl flelds may | be discovered in the coastal plain between Beaumont and Tampico fields. Here lies a vast territory underlain by the oll-bearing | eocene formations which has not been ex- | ploited.” BREAKSTHE EMPEROR (Continued from First Page.) undisposed part of her monthly allowance of $2,000. Sanden had complete control of her private fortune of $625,000, every cent of which has been swept away. The kaiser's losses will probably reach an aggregate of $7,350,000. His majesty kept at Sanden's the income of his landed estates. It was the habit of the emperor to draw on Sanden whenever he needed money for speculation, pleasure jaunts or anything of a private nature. Weary of Safe Three Per Cents. In addition to the kaiser's personal loss, 32,260,000 helonging to the “royal princely family feliciomis” had been withdrawn from investment in Prussian consols and dumped into Sanden's banks. Sanden told some of his friends the emperor had tired of the steady llttle 3 per cent rate to be realized from investment in high-class se- curities and longed for 15 and 20 per cent promlised by the less secure Industrial en- terpris Sanden admitted he attempted to gratify the royal wish and frequently earned for the emperor as much as 20 per cent on the money supplied by the latter. The duke of Schleswig-Holstein, brother of the empress, {8 one of the heaviest losers. Sanden’s fallure swallowed up his wite's entiro fortune of $1,500,000 and his own in- dustrial undertakings, the Henrietta Iron works and the Basse-Lusace factorie which will bave to be closed down unless the head of the house of Schleswig-Hol- steln can ralse money enough to continue them. Other Noble Game. Other noble victims of the thrifty Sanden are Grand Master Baron von Mierbach, $250,000; grand master of the emperor's, Count Muslenburg, $125,000; master of the horse, Count von Wendel, $125,000; Baron von Heintze, Count Keller and Baron Lyncker, $25,000 each. It is sald that some of her majosty's ladles of honor were also vietims of Sanden’s lurid promises. All these ladies belong to the so-called pletist party, which curries favor with the empre by attaching supreme importance to the personal goodliness of her majesty. As a result of the Sanden failure, the emperor and empress will be compelled (o practice economy for a long time to come He has directed that all bullding operations on his castles in the royal estates be aban- doned for the time belng. But a few days ago the emperor conceived the project of rebullding and redecorating the famous White hall tn the Berlin schloss. Contracts for the work have all been recalled. The emporer intended to decorate the halls, floors and ceflings In white marble, with cornices of coln sllver. Fortunately for the kaiser, the new stables projected by him to accommodate 350 carriage horses have just been finished, but some of the bills due architects and builders have not been pald. — JACKSONIAN CLUB ON CUBA 1. J. Duun Denles Right of United States to Assume Control The Jacksonian club was addressed last night by 1. J. Dunn, who spoke on the Platt amendment and the duty of the United States toward Cuba, He dened the right of the United States to assume control of Cuba and declared that the Island should be permitted to govern itself, It Cuba is not annexed and the United States attempts to control It on lines now outlined, it will be necessary to throw an army Into the island to maintain the au- thority of this country,” was the closing statement of Mr. Dunn's speech, W.

I sald that I thought there was nothing seri- ous the matter with him. “‘Well,' sald he, ‘the man that Just brought him up in a buggy had to help him out and he told me the doctor had heart tallure.’ ““That may be,' often get over that.' “Then I went to dinner, and afterward down town to my office. Durlng the even- ing I met a friend of mine whom I had known in Maine and stayed downtown with him all night. I knew nothing of Dr. Na- son’s death until yesterday morning, when 1 read an account of it in a newspaper. “So far as I know, Dr. Nason had no cause for committing euicide. He always got along nicely with his wife and they seemed to be perfectly cougenial.” Mrs. Nason Testifies, Mrs. Nason has recovered somewhat from the first shock occasioned by her husband's violent death. *I did not hear my husband enter,” sald she, “and the first I knew of his being in the house was when I heard him speak to Mr. Emerson upstairs. I didn't hear Mr. Emerson go out. The next sound I heard was a mufed explosion, which I afterward learned was the report of the pistol. I then went to the foot of the stairs and called to my caled several times, and s there was no answer I went up aud tried to open the door. It was locked on the inside. Then I became frightened and beat on the panels with my fists and shouted as loud as I could, and as all was qulet inside I knew something was wrong and ran to get some- thing to break the door in. I found a ham- mer and with that pounded on the door un- til it gave way. The rest you know. They told me afterward that I fainted.” Emerson Tells His Story. Dr. W. N. Dorward testified that he was with Dr. Nason as late as 6 o'clock Th day afterncon. “There were three of us playing billlards in a billlard Fifteenth and Haruey streets,” said he, “Dr. W. H.

He was due at the house for dinner at 6:15, he said, so excused himself very naturally and walked away. 1 saw nothing whatever unusual in his man- ner." The other witnesses were Dr. A. K.

The international contest for the long-distanca leaper of the world was the crowning eveni of the week. Lithe grey- hounds from every land were on hand when the day arrived for the great test. Society was all agog over the affair and awalted the tap of the gong. One by one the great leapers whirled through space and the mul- titude made the welkin ring as each daring leaper landed a few inches ahead of his nearest competitor. Mr. Crocker's Rex was the champlon and thousands of dollars wero offered that no successor would be found to take his laurels from him. Two hundred | fine specimens of greyhounds had tried ouly to fall and there was only one other between Rex and the championship of the world. This was Rocket, the pride of the Gentrys. Mr. W. W. Gentry and Trainer Wink Weaver were handling Rocket, and when | the word was given he refused the ta.i. | Several times he was urged to make the at- tempt, but each time declined the ordeal. Mr. Gentry appeared embarrassed and Trainer Weaver looked disgraced. Had the much talked of Rocket trailed the Gentry | colors in the dust and stamped himself coward? It looked that way to 20,000 people who had not hestitated to give both owner and trainer the merry ha! ha! Mr. Gentry is a very sanguine and cool individual and, betldes, ho had a card up his sleeve that | the sports knew not of. Rocket had been | trained to decline the first two commands in order to glve strength to his final great achievement. For three years he had done the same thing twice daily while perforu- | ing with Gentry Bros.’ famous trained ani- | mul exhibition and Mr. Gentry knew that | not a drop of coward's blood coursed through the veins of tho greatest leaper in the world, He took Rocket to New York to win the champlonship and before he left home In Bloomington, Ind., he knew that the championship was within the easy grasp | of the great Rocket. When he landed on | bis feet after leaping through forty feet of space he landed tho world's champlonship | and had nine feet to spare. It was the lougest leap ever made by a greyhound and it 18 no wonder that Mr. Gentry refused $3,000 for him ten minutes after his wone dertul performance. Rocket will continue to thrill the millions who annualily visit the Gentry Bros.' famous trained animal ex- hibition and will repeat his Madison Square | Garden feat in this city next Monday, twice | dally, when the Gentry Bros.' show appears here four days, starting Monday, May 27, at | Bighteenth and Douglas streets.
