BULLS CONTROL MARKET
Stocks Advance in Spite Of High Rates

securing stocks at the present level of
prices.
Such was the spirit that dominated
an extraordinary stock market which
ignored money conditions that have
been the signal for panicky unload
ing of securities in the past experience
of the stock exchange.
There was something of scramble
to unload stocks during the early
transactions in the market, owing to
an apprehension that it would be
found impossible to borrow money on
any terms. Probably the liquidation
thus effected caused some relief in
the money tension. The extraordin-
ary INTEREST," rates also had their effect
in bringing offerings into the market
from unexpected sources. Some of
them insignificant in themselves, in
Guiding some private deposit accounts,
but making up a considerable aggre-
gate.
Some banking funds were made
available by outside sources. The
strictly local character Of the strin'
gency is a remarkable feature of the
episode.

tinue to assure their followers that all
goes well.
At Moscow, where early victory is
assured, they, deliberately keep afoat
the story that several regiments have
joined in the uprising, explaining the
retreat of the revolutionists, as the
war Office used to explain the Russian
defeats in Manchuria, as "being part
of preconceived PLAN to draw the
enemy on.
The government authorities have
taken elaborate precautions to prevent
the execution of the threat to blow up
the bridges of the railroads running
out of st. Petersburg. Artillery has
been posted SO as to command the
crossing over the Volga, and also the
smaller bridges of the Warsaw line.
In the Baltic provinces, however, the
Lettish insurgents, while acting indie
pendently, have adopted the same plan
for preventing the arrival of rein
forcements, but with better success
They sawed through the timber bridge
at Kausika 40 miles from Reval, and
caused a frightful accident to a pas
senger train, which fell through the
bridge into the river. The number OF
dead and injured has not yet been es
tablished.

Annapolis, Dec. 28.-The court mar
tial proceedings against Midshipman
Trenmor Coffin, jr., member of the
third class, on the charge of hazing
Midshipman ]. P. Kimbrough of the
fourth class, began at the naval acad-
emy today. The charge is supported
by the specification that the accused
caused Kimbrough to stand on his
head continuously for a period of 10
minutes, or thereabont, and until he
became unconscious. This, it is speci-
fed, took place the evening of Dec
ember IL, last. Midshipman George
w. Wheelock, a classmate of the ac-
cused, was the first witness.
He testified that he had looked in
the door of room So, in Bancroft hall,
on the evening of December IL and
that he had seen Kimbrough standing
on his head and Coffin, Kimbrough's
roommate, in the room with him. The
witness continued, and said he left the
vicinity of room So for five minutes.
When he returned Kimbrough was still
on his head and the other person in
the room.
The witness was asked to illustrate
what standing on the head" meant
He put his head on the floor and raised
few inches from the ground in 9
series of jumps. The exercise appar
emily put much strain on the legs and
arms and was hard on the head.

PASS REFINERY BILL
TO CURB STANDARD OIL TRUST
State of Kansas Will Build Refinery
to Be Operated by Convict Labor.

Topeka, kans., Feb, ia bill pro-
viding for the establishment of a state
oil refinery passed the Kansas House
of Representatives yesterday by vote
of 81 to 80. Governor Hoch will sign
the bill at once.
Under the provisions a refinery will
be located at Peru, Kansas. Another
penitentiary will be built there to pro
vide convict labor for the refinery. An
appropriation of 100000 is made for
building and maintaining the refinery
and penitentiary.
This ends one of the most bitter
fights ever before Kansas Legisla-
ture. The Standard Oil Company and
the railroads have maintained strong
Hobbies here, vainly trying to defeat
the bill.
Senator Fitzpatrick's bill, establish
ing maximum rates for transportation
of oil, which passed the Senate, was
taken up in committee of the whole
and passed.
The Kansas Oil Producers" Associa-
lion yesterday sent the following tele-
gram to President Roosevelt:
The undersigned, representing the
oil producers of the state of Kansas,
and speaking for the intelligent and
Industrious people of the state, and
voicing the spirit of American free play
play everywhere, appeal to you, and
through you to your secretary of the in
terror, and by you to the Congress of
The United States, for help in the I'm
dertaking of the Legislature of the
state TO protect the oil industry of the
state from the oppression of the Stand
ard Oil trust.
''IlapnnCn | n1tg c los q c
10 exercise a natural function of gov
eminent by legislating for the welfare
and protection of industries within the
borders of the state against the oppres
sion of all monopolies; and because
the Legislature proposes to try the eX-
pertinent of public oil refinery, as
means of preserving and making prof.
table the oil industry, the general
manager of the Standard Oil Company
has declared boycott upon Kansas
oil, and one Of his subordinates has in
suited our people by expressing in the
public prints groundless fear that
they will destroy the company's prop
eTty.
I'VE further represent to you that
menace to the crude oil market is a
continued ownership by the Standard
Oil Company of what is known as the
Foster lease of the Usage Indian res
ervation. This reservation includes
and and one-half million acres of land,
which contains reservoir of petro-
leum so rich that if the Standard con
tinues to own and develop it, that com
pany will have a supply of oil that will
make it Independent of private pro
duction, not only in the West, but all
over the United States. The lease is
nominally held by straw men, but it
really is in the grip OF the Standard Oil
Company and the oil producers appeal
to the President, the secretary of the
interior and the Congress TO refuse the
application now pending for its eXten.

DEATH OF LEW WALLACE.
Famous War Veteran and Author of
Ben Hur" Passes Away.

Charlottesville. Ind, Feb 16.-Gen.
eral Lew Wallace, author of Ben
Hur," one time minister to Turkey and
a veteran of the Mexican and Civil
Wars. died at his home in this city to-
night, aged rs years.
The health of Gen. Wallace has been
waning for several years ana for
months. despite the efforts of the fam
lily to keep the public in ignorance of
his true condition. it has been gener-
ally known that his vigorous constitu-
ton could not much longer Withstand
the ravages OF a wasting disease.
For more than a year he has been
unable to properly assimilate food. At
no time has he ever confessed his be
lief that the end was near, and his
rugged constitution and remarkable
vitality have been responsible for pro
longing his life several months.
The death-bed scene was one of calm
ness. Beside his physician only his
wife, his SON Henry Wallace of In
dianapolis, and Mrs. Wallace. were
present. Two grandchildren were in
the house but were not admitted into
the room.
When told by his physician that he
was dying Gen. Wallace was perfectly
calm, and his last words were express
sions of cheer to his grief-stricken
family. Bidding them farewell, he
said:
81 am ready to meet my Maker" and
lapsed into unconsciousness from
which he did not recover
