power of the department. As part of
the Department Of Commerce, the COM
missioner sent out list of questions to
all the so-called trusts in the country
covering their capitalization and other
financial items. All of the trusts replied
to the commissioner save the Standard
Oil Company, which refused to answer
any questions. Information Of the atti-
tude of the company has been conveyed
to high officials Of the government, in
cluding the President, and it is believed
that Commissioner Garfield will take
legal means to compel the company to
answer. He may call supon John D.
Rockefeller to furnish the desired infor-
nation, and, in the event of formal re-
fusal, the case will be taken into United
States District Court and an order
sought to compel the company to answer
the question. Upon the decision in this
case will hinge the future policy of the
new department.

 Thus far the general public has been shut out entirely from the proceedings, only those having a direct connection with the case being allowed to enter the court room, Yesterday the avail able space was we'll filled by the court officials. newspaper men and the tales
 men awaiting examination as to their qualifications for jury duty, and the officers who guarded all the doors had no little trouble in keeping back the crowds which gathered in the corri- dors. Whether the ban would be kept down during the whole progress of the trial was not known, but many who desired to take advantage of the first opportunity to gain admittance were
 on hand early today.
 John Millin, who was Caesar Youngs
 racing partner and who 1t is under

 nesses for the prosecution was made to sit in the rear of the court room upon the request of the prisoner Millln had a seat near the bar enclosure and had been watching Miss Patterson | closely for some time when she asked | that he be ordered away from the rail. | As Millin passed the defendant in go- ing to the rear of the court room she
 shrank back on her fathers shoulder. An eyewitness to the shooting of Young was discovered In a most unu-
 sual way today while the trial was in progress.

 permission to speak with Justice Da- wis. who is presiding at the triI. Af-
 ter a whispered conversation counsel for the prosecution and defense were
 called to the bench and a moment later
 Anderson was excused and joined
 counsel for the prisoner within the bar enclosure.
 Daniel J. O'Reilly, one of Miss Pat | terson's attorneys, said that an eye | witness to the shooting had been dis covered. Information to this effect | had been communicated to Justice Da- wis by Mir. Anderson.
