George Rice, the oil operator who
fought the Standard Oil company for
many years, and finally went down 10
defeat, was the first witness today
when the taking of dispositions was re.

against the alleged trust of oil com

Attorney General Hadley announced
that Rogers request for a private

the fact that Rogers announced that
he might be aggravated by the pres.

today to larger quarters, as Attorney

Sanborn is on the verge of writer's

taking of dispositions on a typewriter,

CITY ADMINISTRATION NOT AZ
FEcTED BY COMPLAINTS OF
SHUTTING UP TIGER.
Interesting Communication from Clerk
of Town of Evanston to City Clerk
of Laramie and Outline of Reply
Latter Will Make-Gamblina Not
Incident in This Town.

City Clerk Tyvold this morning re-
ceived the following interesting note
from the city clerk of Evanston:
Evanston, Wyo., January 8, 1906.
Hon City Clerk, Laramie, Wyo.
Dear Sir:-Would you please IN
form me of the amount of your total
city tag rate for the year 1905, also
whether you think the loss of gambling
fines will require an increased levy
this year, the object being to compare
with ~neighboring towns in the state be-
fore passing the annual appropriation
bill next March. Our levy last year
was eight mills on the dollar, and it is
quite probable that it will be higher
this year on account of the loss of gam
bling fines.
Hoping for ar early reply l remain,
Yours respectfully,
civilian COOK, Iown Clerk"
Mr.. Tyvold will reply that the word
gambling is unknown here and has
been for years; that Laramie, being a
model town, does not fine gamblers
and does not find any, and that the
subject Of collecting fines from gam
blers does not enter into the admins
tration of the city.

read the questions, but this was re-
fused. He stated: 81 think my name
Is Henry Rogers; my residence, New
York. | am in the oil business"
What oil companies are you con-
nected WITH"
Attorney Rowe shouted out the ad-
vice not to answer. Sanborn said:
THE witness will take no advice
from Rowe. Rowe represents no par
ties in this action. Rowe, | insist you
do not further interrupt"
Rogers declined to answer on the
grounds Of personal privilege.
Hadley asked: Would your answer
incriminate or degrade your"
NO" replied Rogers.
"lf this question were certified to
the supreme court, would you claim
such a privilege If ordered to answer"
That would be determined at the
time"
Question: by whom?"
Rowe jumped into the proceedings
again and had q long, wordy war with
Sanborn. which resulted in the COM
missioner ordering an adjournment
for lunch to avoid a ~disgraceful ter
mination. Rowe had persisted in in
%terrupting the proceedings in the face
of Sanborn's threat to eject him. Fin
ally Sanborn ordered Rowe out. Rowe
did not go. The matter was becoming
awkward when Rogers exclaimed,
wish 1t was me-" Then another
pause. Then Hagerman, the Standard
lawyer, suggested an adjournment,
which was taken.
Mrs. Butts testimony is valuable.
From her father she inherited one of
the trustee certificates of ownership
issued by the Standard when the Ohio
antitrust suit threatened to drive the
company out of business and it liqui-
dated itself. Her testimony told Of
numerous oil companies the Standard
controlled, including the Waters
