representative of the Post-intelli-
gencer wires from Port Angeles that
the rescue ship City of Topeka picked
up O life raft six miles of Cape Beale
with twenty survivors OF the Vaien-
cia on board. The condition OF the
survivors was pitiable. They were
half frozen and practically uncon-
scious from the exposure. Tne raIt
was sighted about IL O'Clock, but ow-
ing to the thick weather 1t was sup
posed to be nothing but a log. Al
last, by the aid Of powerful glass, It's
true nature was determined. A terri
BILE sea was running. One minute the
raft was poised on top of wave ana
the next It would be lost from view IN
the gully formed by the mountainous
breakers.
The twenty men on their frail sup
port battled brayely with a pair ol
oars to reach the City OF Topeka.

making fast q line to the raft and
towed 1t to the steamer.
After picking up this raft the steam

teller refused 10 appear DelOre AttOT-
ney General Hadley and testify in the
hearing in connection with the action
of the state Of Missouri against the
Standard Oil company.
A deputy sheriff served a subpoena
upon Mr.. Rockefeller. The deputy re-
ported that Mr.. Rockefeller had said:
Il won't appear; can't appear and
there Is no use talking about it. They
may send me to Jail il they want to-"
No service was obtained on John
Teagle, w. E. Judd, w. F. Lowe or
w. p. Mckee. Lowe Is OF the Navarro
Oil company and Judd and Mckee OF
the Republic Oil company.
When the taking of dispositions be-
gan Louis Fl. Turrell of Detroit, Mich,
a former accountant of the Standard
Oil company in st. Joseph, Mo-, and
other cities, was the first witness.
Mr.. Turrell testified to facts con-
corning the formation of the Republic
Oil company of Cleveland, which At
torney General Hadley of Missouri
holds to be a Standard Oil concern.
Turrell stated that In 1901, while In
st. Joseph, he was called to the Stand
ard Oil company's Offices In New York
and was asked to become a director
and stockholder in new oil company
which afterwards proved to be the
Republic Oil company. He stated that
he was induced to sign articles OF in
corporation as r. A. Turrell instead OF
Louis H. Turrell and was asked to say
nothing about being Standard Oil
employe.
Standard Oil Methods Exposed.
Mr.. Turrell then gave complete
history of all the transactions IN the
organization of the Republic OIL com
pany. He stated that he subscribed to
800 shares of stock for which he did
not pay a cent and that he was made
secretary and treasurer and director
of the company and was given charge
of the accounting system in the Cleye-
land field. He testified as to meetinas
of the directors of the Republic COM
pany at the Standard company's Offices
at 26 Broadway, New York city, on
several occasions and said that every
thing done was upon suggestion and
order of III. M. Tilford, one OF the ex-
ecutive heads of the Standard COM
pany. He was present, he said, when
the final settlement for the property
of Sci ofield, Shurmer & Teagle, which
was later transferred to the Republic
Oil company. He stated that the set
tlement for the Scofeld, Shurmer &
Teagle property took place In the Of
flee of Virgil p. Kline, Standard OIL
attorney in Cleveland, and that the
firm of Scofield, Shurmer d Teagie
received in payment check and notes
signed by the officials OF the Republic
Oil company. The witness said he
signed the check and notes In his
capacity as secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Turrell said he was instructed not
to use any of the forms of the Stand
ard Oil company in his accounting sys-
tenn so that 1t would not become
known that the Standard had any
thing to do with the Republic COM
pany. He further testified that all OF
his communications were directed to
81 New street, New York, which was
the back entrance to the Standard
building at 26 Broadway.
