Statements Filed With the Industrial
CommissiOn.
At the meeting Of the industrial commits
sion yesterday several affidavits were 1e-
ceived and formally accepted for inclusion
in the commissions report.

Standard Oil Company, in an affidavit Wig
orously attacks the affidavit submitted in
June by former Attorney General F. S.
Monnett Of Ohio, Charles B. Matthews, NJ.
L. Lockwood and ]. w. Lee declaring that
Mr.. Monnett in his reiteration of charges,
reflects on the purity of the Ohio supreme
court. Mr.. Monnett's charges of attempted
bribery by the Standard Oil Company he
characterizes as false"
Concerning Mr.. Monnett's testimony
charging the Standard Oil Company with
burning it's books, Mr.. Archbold's affidavit
says:
..There was in his evidence both suppress
sion of truth and suggestion of falsehOod;
and now, after two years granted for re-
Election and repentance, thoroughly Gis-
credited by the records of the court he
represents, he again returns to the charge

in June, 1901, pretending he has found new

record that the commission may Judge

specifically covering the buying, receiving
and selling of any money, goods, bank
notes or other things which may be stolen
or taken felOniouSly.T
E. j. Hall, vice president and general
manager of the American Telegraph and
Telephone Company, submits an affidavit
concerning telephone conditions He says
the charges for the service are higher in
this country than in Europe, but that fair
comparison is almost impossible because
of the many differences between the SER
vice here and abroad. The greatest single
factor, he says, is the comparatively low
cost of labor in Europe. He puts the
United States in the lead in telephone de-
veopment Next to this country in the
number of telephone stations are Germany,
with 29,391; Great Britain, 171,6G0; Swe-
den, 1880; France, 59,927; Switzerland,
3S,SG4; Austria, 1885; Russia, 31,376, and
Norway, %, ,446.
A supplementary affidavit made by Prof
Frank Parsons of Boston is designed to re-
flute testimony of Vice President Clark Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company and
General Manager Bethel of the New York
Telephone Company. He charges that the
Western Union is overcapitalized. and sub
mits detailed figures from official reports to
support his charge The average actual
receipts for all telegraph messages in Eng
land, according to him, are fifteen cents, as
compared with thirty-seven cents in the
United States. He claims that comparisons
as to the relative extension of the use of
the United States, compared with that
abroad, are misleading, being based on
carefully selected cities.

Mr.. Edward n. Lewis, who died at his
residence 1916 street northwest, the
4th instant, and whose funeral look place
today at Rock Creek Genet cry, was widely
known and esteemed by all members Of the
old resident circles Of Washington and
Georgetown. He was born in this city No
vember -, 1886, and when a mere youth
commenced life page in the United
States Senate. where he served during the
memorable days of Webster, Clay, Hous-
ton and other noted statesmen of that time
Having completed his first apprenticeship
in this environment, he became a mes
senger in the Treasury Department In the
latter position his efforts soon earned ad-
vancement to clerkship in the second
controllers office, where he remained four
teen years, receiving several further pro-
motions as a reward of merit. AS result
of political views adverse to those of a new
administration, Mr.. Lewis resigned from
brokerage He thus adopted an indepen-
dent business career in the early days of
"ashington's real estate activity and his
enterprise proved to be successful, con-
tinuing so until the following notable de-
cline of properties when he entered mer-
camille life and built up a successful pro-
vision business
Upon the renewal of real estate activity
about fifteen years ago Mr. Lewis re-en-
tered that business, associating himself
with Mr. John A. Prescott. Foreseeing op-
portunities for Independent enterprise he
later severed his connection with Mr.. Pres
colt to resume real estate brokerage under
his own name, and he thus continued until
the time OF his death.

Miss Annie Lewis, and four sons, William

Sketch of His Career.

FOrmerly ffOmlnent as an Editor
Sketch of His Career.
Mr.. James G. Thompson, who was for
many years prominently ident...ed with
journalism in this city and elsewhere, died
yesterday after protracted illness at his
residence No. 1853 Roanoke street north
west. He was a native of Philadelphia,
where he was born in 1896 When the
civil war broke out he was among the
first volunteers to go to the 'front.' enlist
ing in the list New York Regiment He
rose to the rank of captain, and at the
close Of the war was on the staff Of Gen.
eral Rufus Saxton. Resigning in 1865, he
settled In Beaufort, 8. c. After carrying
out several contracts calling for the burial
of Union dead in cemeteries in various To-
calities in the state, Mr.. Thompson estab-
lished a newspaper, the New South, in
Beaufort. The vigorous opinions he cher
ished on all matters of public concern drew
considerable attention to the publication,
it's policy being to urge the southern peo-
pie to accept the conditions placed upon
them by the war ard to devote themselves
to commercial and substantial develop
ment. The arguments he then put for
ward in this behalf were similar to those
afterward enunciated by the late Henry
w. Grady and others of the progressive
school
The community in which the New South
was published did not support the venture
and some years later Mr.. Thompson re-
moved to Columbia. S. c., where he be-
came proprietor and editor of the Union
Herald. He gave up the latter enterprise
to come to Washington and be editor Of
the National Republican. continuing as
such for several years. He was afterward
connected with :he Sunday Capital and
the Army and Navy Register. For sew
eral years past he has been a clerk in
the Post Office Department. While a good
deal of philosopher, Mr.. Thompson held
radical views that he expressed with un-
conventional freedom, and possessed a keen
humor that frightened his conversation
and added zest to mis- arguments. His wife
and six children, all of whom reside in
Washington, survive him. 1t was Mr.
ThOmpson's oft-eXpressed wish that his
body should be cremated after death, and
his dust inferred in the Thompson me-
mortal cemetery, near New Hope, Bucks
county. Pa, and his wish will be complied

An elderly man, who gave his name as
Wilton N Hupert, called on Sanitary Off

Gods detective" He admitted he had
hallucinations, and said he was a fugitive
from the Lancaster county asylum for the
insane
do you see this?' he inquired, pointing
to India ink marks on his chest. This Is the
all-seeing eye, the devil fish and the key
of hope / thought you belonged to the

The sanitary officer frankly admitted he
was not a member of the order, but he
was willing to assist the caller. Hupert
gave his age as seventy-six years, and said
he was a member of the 45th Pennsylvania
Volunteers during the war of the rebellion.

Iowa Infantry and a private in Company

added, but if 1 asked Him for brown

He was twice sent to the asylum at Har-
risburg. Pa, he said and the last time he
was there he was transferred temporarily
to the asylum of Lancaster county, where
he was given kitchen work. This work
was Objectionable to him and he deserted,
going to Columbia. where he boarded

came here and called on Capt. Yeager,
agent for the Disabled Volunteers Home,
who after short conversation with HUI
pert referred him to Sanitary Officer Frank.
Hupert is now occupying witness room
at the first precinct station.
