MAKE MILLIONS
IN SINGLE DAY
Thomas w. Lawson Tells of
the Deals Carried Out by
Standard Oil Magnates
GOLD BRICKED BY DAILY
Says at No Time in History
Of the Country Has Power
OF Dollars Been So Great
SPECIAL Dispatch to me can

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-In the Sep
TENDER issue Of Everybody's Magazine
Thomas ". Lawson tells how the Stan
dard Oil magnates made" $50, 900, 900
within q period OF twenty-four hours
and quotes Henry II. Rogers as saying
10 William Rockefeller at the cOnclu-
sion Of the deal: William, I feel as
though I had done an honest days
labor"
Mr.. Lawson adds: "Thirty-six mil
Lion dollars for one honest days labor
Thirty-six million dollars, and Alaska
cost US but fourteen millions and Spain
relinguished her claims on the Philip
pines for only twenty millions. Thirty
six million dollars, more than hun
oreo times as much as George Wash
tngton, Thomas Jefferson and Abe
Lincoln together secured for the pa
.triotic labors Of their lifetimes."
In beginning the article Mr. Law
son says the Standard OIL Com
pany has tried to have him cease his
attacks on the company by asserting
that Il, too. had been gold
bricked" by Marcus Daily and that it
. was duped as much as any Of the thou
sand other victims Of Amalgamated
Copper.
Talking OF the power Of money as
yielded by the Standard Oil Company,
the erstwhile copper magnate says: AT
no time in the history Of the United
States has the power OF dollars been
so great. Freedom and equity are con-
troIlzd BY dollars. The laws which
should preserve and enforce all rights
are made and enforced by dollars. 1t is
possible to-day with dollars to steer
the selections Of candidates Of both the
great parties for the highest Office in
our republic, that of President Of the
United States, so that the people as
4 matter Of fact must elect one Of the
fsteered' candidates.
The most startling part Of LaWson's
narrative is that in which he describes
what he calls -'audacious deception
practiced upon him 10y Mr. Rogers"
After explaining hat he, H. II.
Rogers and William Rockefeller had
gone into an Arnalsamated Copper deal
on She basis Of equal partners. Lawson
describes how his two partners kept all
the information from him and how he
compelled them TO pay double the
amount due him according TO their own
accounts.

INCREASE IN AVERAGE
OF BANK CLEARINGS
New High Records for Specie, Cash
and Deposit, and Expan-
sion of loans

and Deposit, and Expan-
sion of Loans.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The F,inancier
says: The features of the official state
ment of the New York Associated
Banks last week was new high records
for specie, cash and deposits, a further
expansion in loans bringing the total to
within $674, 800 of the maximum on July
%, and an increase in the surplus re-
serve to within SO, 400, ,475 of the highest,
which was on July 2, 1898. The net cash
gain last week was 81. .491, 100. or less by
1886. 200 than that which was estimated
on the basis of the traceable movement
of money. This discrepancy may be
satisfactorily accounted for, it probably
being due to the system of averages.
The deposits increased 81, ,438, 600, which
was less by $1,736, 100 than the sum of
the increase in loans and the net gain
in cash. Therefore the statement does
not balance. The reserve requirements
were augmented $685. as the result
of the increase in deposits, deducting
which sum from the net gain in cash
left 1881, 900 as the increase in the sur
plus reserve to $58, 613,O75, the highest.

the surplus is $64. 457 800. The loans
were expanded by s2,693, 900. probably
rejecting syndicate borrowing and also
loans of the proceeds of sterling and
finance bills. The daily average of bank
clearings last week was 1886 900, 600. or
s21, 600, 900 more than in the previous
week, rejecting the increased specula-
ton on the Stock Exchange.

All that was martial and picturesque
about the tournaments held when God
frey de St Omar and Hugh de Peyens
guarded the pilgrims road" and
lodged in the palace of the Latin Kings
will be brought to earth again when
the crack drill corps of the Knights
Templar go through their evolutions on
September Z.
Of course, there will be no crashing
of lances, 10 changing of battle axes
on steel helmets, no horses mangled and
no gallant riders. hacked to death. The
world has grown softer and wiser in
these days. But the love of gaudy
color, pageantry and the blare OF
brazen trumpets is undiuinished. Per
haps ii has increased. This desire will
be fully satisfied by the drill Of the
knights of the Temple.
Without the bloodshed the amphi-
theatcr at Golden Gate Park will be a
scene from the days of chivalry The
spirit of knighthood will be there. The
same natural carpet over which
Launcelot, Sir Launfal and others of
the Round Table rode-the green sward,
viii be spread along the amphitheater.
Ladies as fair as Guenivere and
gentle as Elaine, the Lily Maid Of Asto-
lot, viii sit and encourage their favor
ties. Even as it was in the days when
knighthood was in flower will it be on
that day.
Around the edge of the jousting field
will be gathered thousands. The trum-
pet will signal, as it did Of old, and
plumed knights of the Temple will
march into the amphitheater, headed
by a mounted troupe. They will go
through the evolutions prescribed by
the rites Of the Order of the Temple,
rites that are almost as old as the
Round Table.
The drill corps that will compete are
the finest in the country. Among them
are: The De Molay Corps of Louisville,
KY; the Malta of Birmingham, n. Y;
the Ivanhoe of Milwaukee and the st.
Bernard of Chicago.
The California Communicates will not
enter their drill corps, as they are
hosts, but there will be separate con-
test for the California Templars at
some other date.

RICH TROPHIES OFFERED.

The Californians have appropriated Il
princely fortune for trophies, in order
TO make IL worth the while of the best
drill CORDS in the land to compete. The
original sum set aside for the commit
tee on competitive drill was $l5,750.
That was intended to provide trophies
for each Of the drill corps that had en-
tered the competition at an early date
Since then it has been decided to add
to the original amount in order that
each competing drill corps shall receive
a valuable prize, and each commandery
whose drill corps competes will be pre-:
sented with a handsome stand of col
ors, consisting of a silk beausant and
the national colors. The last prize will
be worth not less than $1,000.
The prizes are perhaps the most val
liable ever offered at any competitive
drill. They are made of California ma
terial-gold, silver, bronze and the rich
est gold-bearing quartz. They embody
the highest conception Of art and are a
credit to California genius and work.
manship. They will be given without
distinction, the award to be made by a
commission Of officers of the United
States army and the drill masters of
the drill corps. One of the trophies is
especially admired by artists and peo-
pie accustomed to see the best in that
line. 1t represents a Knight holding
aloft the laurel wreath Of victory and
leaning upon the sword Of his order In
repose.
