ROCKEFELLER MUST TESTIFY.
Standard OIL Magnates Must Tell
What They Know Regarding Al
. legged OIL Trust i'm Missouri.


New York. Nov. A.-Subpoenaes
were issued Thursday for John D.
Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry
M Flagler and other fnanciers to ap-
pear as witnesses in the two suits
pending in Missouri to Gust the Stand
ard Oil company and two other oil
companies from doing business in that
state. The subpoena directed the wit
nesses to appear on December before
Frederick H. Sandborn. Of this city,
who was appointed by Gov. Folk to
act as commissioner for. the state Of
Missouri.
The suits were fled in Missouri on
March 20, 1905, and include, besides
the Standard OIL company, the Re-
public Oil company and the Waters
Pierce OIL company.
The first suit was brought by Attor-
ney General Hadley, Of Missouri, to
exclude the three defendant corpora
tons from all corporate rights and
privileges under the laws Of the state
Of Missouri, and that their franchises,
rights, authority, license and certia-
cate to do business under the laws Of
the state Of Missouri be declared for
feited. The ground for this action
was an. alleged pool or trust agree
ment between the three companies to
regulate the prices paid by retail oil
dealers in Missouri. 1t was charged
also that the companies misled the
public into the belief that they were
three separate and distinct corpora
tons, but that they divided up the ter
ritory of the state, each agreeing not
to sell oil on the others ground.
This suit Is in the supreme court OF
Missouri. The second suit is very
similar to the first, but 1t Is brought
in the circuit court Of Jackson coun'
ty, Missouri.

DEpEw,s FRIEND TEsr1F1Es.


New York, Nov. 24.-It was late in
the afternoon Thursday when Mr..
Hughes, counsel of the legislative in
surance investigating committee called
to the witness chair William s. Man
ming Of Albany, referred to in letters
addressed to John A. Nicholas to Sena-
tor Depew at previous session as the
"rantankerous friend up the river" 4
Mr.. Manning was the most interest,"
ing witness of the day and was cues
toned closely by Mr.. Hughes as to his
connection with life insurance. He
detailed his work for various, compan-
les for many years, and came gradually
ITO the time when he took up insurance
work in Albany and, as he testified,
was paid $3.50 year by John A. Mich
oils ito protect life insurance interests,
always in the interest Of the business,
but not in the interest Of the officers"
After several years, he said, this
amount was reduced to $500.
He did not know where Mr.. Nichols
was getting the money, and had never
inquired. He denied that he had ever
received money from the Equitable Life
Assurance society. When his fee was
reduced, however, he understood that
the Equitable, the Mutual Life and
the New York Life had each paid $3.50
and that the reduction was dhe to the
fact that the New York Life had drop
ped out of the agreement.
An interesting part of the testimony
was reached when Mr.. Hughes inquired
concerning the state insurance investl-
cation Of 1877. Manning said he acted
as an expert there and found that the
reports Of the proceedings were gar
bled and untrue" He testified that he
secured corrected report of the pro-
ceedings from the official stenographer
and had volume printed, the alleged
garbled parts being printed in Italics.
This report was sold to some insurance
companies for $50 copy. The volume
was copyrighted, was secured to pre-
vent the publication of testimony con-
tanned in the work. He denied also
that he had ever made arrangements
with insurance companies to stop the
publication Of his book. n just gave
it up he said when Mr.. Hughes in
quired.

Morgan was then asked to tell If he

Shiloh MONUMENT Inscriptions

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary
Taft today gave hearing to Governor
Cummins of Iowa, in support of the de-
sire of the officials of that state to
have the inscriptions on the Iowa mon
uments in the Shiloh Battlefield Park,
amended so that they shall show the
time that the various Iowa regiments
arrived on the field of battle.
The war department, after an ex-
haustive consideration of tine matter,
recently rejected the request for a
change in the inscriptions. The Iowa
authorities were not satisfied with the
decision, and Governor Cummins ap-
peeled to the president. Mr.. Roose
welt referred the question to Secretary
Taft and today's hearing was the re-
suit 1t is believed that as a result of
the efforts of Governor Cummins the
department will give permission for
the desired changes to be made.

HEAD, ARMS AND LEGS CUT OFF
Police Believe the Murdered Man Was
to Be Witness in a Murder
Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-Blood-
hounds placed this morning on the
trail of a murderer of a man whose
headless, legless and armless body was
ter shortly before midnight. Soon af-
ter taking the scent the dogs went to
an Italian tenement and then took a
zig-Zag course through the quarter to
Russian hill, the scene of many crimes.
The police are inclined to the belief
that the dead man was one of the wit
nesses in the case of Ancio- Brissili,
who was placed on trial for murder
this morning. When the case was
called two witnesses, Rossaria Dom
inia and Frank Cardiff failed to ap-
pear. Search is being made for them.
Hundreds viewed the remains this
morning, but none was able to identify
the body. The work of the butcher
showed that ne had no knowledge of
anatomy. In dismembering the body
he attempted to take the legs off at
the hips, making deep incisions, but
failing to find the sockets, cut the
flesh around the knee cap, laid it back
and pulled the leg out of the socket.
An attempt was made to remove the
arms in similar manner but failing,
they were hacked off close to the
shoulder The mead was chopped off
clear to the shoulders, none of the
bruises, indicating to the police that
the victim was attacked from behind
struck down and perhaps instantly
killed.

Money and his steed were showed into
