Both Books and Ohlctals.
New York, Oct 13.-The investigation
into the affairs of the Standard OIL Com
pany by the commission from Ohio was
resumed this morning.
John d. Rockefeller, whose examina-
ton was concluded last night. was in
the witness chair for about thirteen
hours in all, but the effort to get him to
tell something of Importance was barren
of results. Attorney General Monette
said the time was almost wasted.
Commissioner Allen T. Brismeade went
at o'clock to the offices of the Standard
Oil Company to select the books he de-
sired to examine. He said he would sub
poena both Secretary Flagler and Treasu-
rer Wardwell. If he could find them. On
his return he reported that he could find
neither the secretary, treasurer, nor the
books.
Mr.. Kline. the company's counsel. on
being asked If he would not produce the
books and the desired witnesses, replied
that he would do so in good time. but not
necessarily at this sitting of the commits
sion.
Attorney General Monette then said
that there would have to be subpoenas
issued for the books and witnesses. He
then went out to md deputy sheriff.
The company's counsel offered no objec-
tion.
The attorney generals assistant was
asked il he thought the company was un-
der obligation to obey the subpoena. He
said this was the first time the State of
ohio had appointed a commission to take
testimony out of the State. He could
not say whether it would be contempt of
court for the Standard Oil officers in
New York State to refuse to obey the
subpoena of an Ohio State commission.
The hearing was adjourned until after
noon because of a lack of witnesses.
Under Sheriff Mulvaney received from
Commissioner Allen this afternoon sub
poenas for IL NJ. F'lagler and w. F.
Wardwell. Mulvaney was requested to
see that the subpoenas were served at
once and placed them In the hands of a
deputy who Immediately went to the Of
flee OF the Standard oil Company for
the purpose of serving them. The sub
poenas command Messrs. Flagler and
Wardwell to produce the books of the
company.
He did not find them. and when he re-
ported this at the New Amsterdam Hotel
where the meetings are being held. 1t
was suggested that the sheriff might sue
ceed better. Deputy Sheriff Halligan was
sent to serve the proper summonses. but
he was no more successful.
Mr.. Monette telephoned that he thought
he had discovered a way to force the wit
nesses to appear through the New York
courts, and the commission adjourned
proceedings for the day.
