[By Associated Pressl

New York, Nov. 23.-Subpoenas
were issued today for John D. Rookie
feller, Henry Fl. Rogers, Henry M
Fligler and other fnanciers, to appear
as witnesses in the two suits pending
in Missouri to oust the Standard Oil
company and two other Oil companies
from doing business in that state. The
subpoenas directed the witnesses to
appear December 4 before Frederick
Fl. Sanborn of this city, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Folk to act as
commissioner for the state of Missouri
The ground for this action is exis-
tence of an alleged pool or trust agree
ment between the three companies to
regulate the prices paid by retail deal
ers in Missouri. 1t is charged also
that the companies misled the public
into the belief that they were separate
and distinct corporations, but that
they divided up the territory of the
state, each agreeing not to sell on the
others ground.

London, Nov. 23.-The persistent
refusal of the Turkish government to
accept European control of the reve-
nues of the vilayets of Macedonia, not
withstanding the ultimatum presented
by the allied powers, is about to lead
to the putting into operation of the
threat of a naval demonstration with
the view to compelling the acquies-
cence of Turkey in European control
of the administration and institution
of the proposed reforms in Macedonia
The obduracy of the sultan appar-
entity is based on the belief that he
has the passive support of the en-
peror of Germany and upon the jeal-
ousies supposed to exist among the
powers interested.
In diplomatic quarters 1t had been
supposed to the very last that the sui
tan would yield and even now 1t is
expected that he will do so before the
international feet takes active meas

Moscow, Nov. 23.-By a scanty ma
jority of 20 the zemstyo congress to,
day accepted the first section of the
resolution drafted by the executive
committee. This declares solidarity
of the congress with the principles of

into effect the liberties promised by

representatives by a general, direct,
equal and secret ballot and formal
granting to the first douma of the

concession which the premier consid-
ers it impossible to grant, but this

Devanter said that the definition Of

deeply into both the legal and COM
mercial meanings of the word.
He held that the agreement was not
consummated until the representative
of the Rialto company who conducted
the negotiations with Senator Burton
on the train enroute' from st. Louis to
Chicago had returned to st. Louis, and
Senator Burton's proposition had been

Tells About That Former lnvesti-
gation--Amount He Received Not
Large.
[By Associated PressI

New York, Nov. 23.-It was late in
the afternoon today when Mr.. Hughes,
counsel for the legislative insurance
Investigating committee, called to the
witness chair VIM. s. Manning of AL
bany. referred to in letters addressed
by John A. Nichols to Senator G. M.
Depew, at previous session as the
"cantankerous friend up the river"
Mr.. Manning was the most interest
ing witness of the day and was ques-
toned closely by Mr.. Hughes as to his
connection with life insurance. He
detailed his work for various COM
panies for many years and came grad
ually to the time when he took up in
surance work in Albany, and, as he
testified, was paid $3.50 a year by John
A. Nichols "to protect life insurance
interests, always in the interest of the
companies, 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 get
ting the money and had never in
Quired. He denied that he had ever re-
ceived 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 due to the fact
that the New York Life had dropped
out of the agreement.
Garbled and Untrue.
An interesting part of the testimony
was reached when Mr. Hughes inquir-
ed concerning the state insurance In
vestigation Of 1877. Manning said he
acted as an expert there and found
that the reports of the proceedings
were "garbled and untrue" He testi-
fed that he secured a corrected re-
port of the proceedings from the Of
fetal stenographer and had the volume
printed, the alleged garbled parts
being printed in italics. This report
was sold to some Insurance companies
for $50 copy. The volume was cops-
righted, but Manning declined to ad-
init that this copyrlgh. was secured to
prevent publication Of the testimony
contained in the work. He denied
also that he had ever made arrange
ments with the insurance companies
to stop publication of his book.
II just gave it up" he said when
Hughes inquired.
The committee adjourned, while Mr..
Manning, was on the stand until to-
morrow morning.

ELKINS CONTINUES TO FAVOR
LAW PERMITTING RAILROAD POOLS
LBy Associated Press]

Washington, Nov. 23.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day continued the discussion of meas
ures relative to amending the railroad
laws. There were many ideas ex-
changed but no developments of i'm
portance.
Senator Elkins, chairman of the
committee, occupied much of the ses-
sion in making suggestions and dis
cussing propositions which he thought
ought to be incorporated in any bill
that may be reported. These sugges.
tions were numerous and would mean
quite lengthy measure, aside from
any regulation provisions. Senator
Elkins did not bring forward the pool
ing proposition, but intends to present
1t later in modified form, so that
there may be freer traffic between rail-
roads. One particular point made by

gested. There was great deal of
talk by other members of the commit

Townsend bill was up for comment. 1t
did not seem likely that this measure
would be made the basis of action by
the committee, as several members
have made drafts of measures which
they will present for consideration.

of forcing the brain against the walls
of the skull on the other side and
causing the compression in that way.
Blows Killed Branch.
All the medical officers gave as
their positive conviction that Branch
died from the effect of the blows he
had received in his fight with Meri-
wether
The cross examination was for the
purpose of showing that death was due
to organic weakness in Branch or to
the unskilled treatment he received
from his friends after the fight and the
delay in getting him into the care of
physicians. Stress was laid on the
fact that no autopsy was held and the
admission was ELECTED that a more
certain opinion as to the cause of
death could be given if an autopsy had
been held.
The medical witnesses belittled any
possible effect Of the treatment Branch
received after the fight and gave it as
their opinion that no treatment could
have ssayed his. life.

Alton Men Indignant Over Employ.
ment of Train Auditors.
Chicago, Nov. 23.-President FELTON,
of the Alton road has decided to en-
ploy train auditors to protect the COM
pany against further peculations.
The order has been promulgated
which will place upon every Alton
passenger train next Sunday two men
in charge instead of one. One of the
men will be the regular conductor of
the train, while the other will be the
collector. The collectors, or train
auditors are paid salary of $100 a
month, and are regarded by the con-
ductors as spies. The return to the
system by the Alton has aroused the
animosity of the men, who declare
that the charge of stealing is unfound-
ed.
In the presidents Office, however, it
is insisted that the employment of col
lectors will save the company at least
$4,000 every month in addition to the
salaries of the men.
