A YANKEE COMMANDS
THE TURKISH NAVY

Paris, May 12.-If trouble ensues be-
tween Turkey and England as a con-
sequence of the dispute over the Ia
bah territory the Turkish navy will in
all probability be commanded by an
American-Admiral Ramsford Buck
nam.
This officer is a native of Bucks
port, Me-. and for many years sailed
between San Francisco and Oriental
ports. Later he became the trial cap
tain for warships built by the Cramps.
He commanded the vessels sent by
Cramps to Turkey and was then Offer
ed a berth in the Turkish navy, which
he accepted. He became naval adviser
to the Sultan and is in high favor with
the ruler Of the Ottoman Empire, who
at once took a great fancy to the Yam
kee captain.
Two years ago Capt. Bucknam, as
he was then. made the Turkish feet
weigh anchor for the first time in
twelve years and sail for Mitylene. He
arrived there on July 4, and made the
entire fleet celebrate the American ma
tional holiday.
For this prank, which many pre-
dicted would cost him his commission,
he was not only not reprimanded but
was even cOmplimented by the Sultan
who was delighted to find a man who
acted as he really felt, which is a rare
happening at the Turkish court.
The admiral has under his command
twenty-three fine ships and since he
was made commander chief they
have been kept in first class condition.
They are all cruisers but would be able
to give good account of themselves.
Admiral Bucknam, who has been on
a visit to England, has returned to
ConstantinOple, having been hastily
recalled by the seriousness of the sit
uation.

STANDARD OIL METHODS
Testimony to Raseality on the Part of
the Corporation That Would Put
Any Poor Man IT. Jail

Chicago. May 12.-CorruptiOn Of
railroad employees and agents Of in
dependent oil companies. dishonest
methods OF procuring land leases. the
giving of short measures and the sell
ing Of three kinds of oil out of the
same tank were charged against the
Standard Oil Company at yesterdays
hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The inquiry is
held under an order Of Congress, and
yesterdays session was along the lines
followed some time ago in Kansas
City.
The principal witnesses Of the day
were z. NJ. Without Of Springfield, No,
formerly for ten years agent of the
Standard Oil Company at Topeka
Kan, and H. c. DOran Of Fremont, o.
Without made the charges of bribery
and dishonesty against the company.
He said that the Frisco road discrim-
mated in favor of the Standard Oil
Company.
E P. Ripley, president of the At
Gibson. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad,
and NJ. Maxon, a former agent of the
Standard Oil Company in Illinois, also
testified.
WiIhoit's Revelations
Without. in the course of his testi-
mony, said that while in the employ
of the Standard. he had, in following
out instructions of his superior Off
GERS, bribed clerks in the offices of
railroads and employees of Independent
oil concerns to obtain information of
the details of the business done by the
rivals of the Standard Oil Company.
He declared that agents of the Stand
ard Oil Company are held personally
responsible for all oil sold in their ter
ritory by Independent companies. and
that drivers Of tank wagons are ex-
pected to keep up their stock by SELL
ing POS to 20S gallons from a wagon
load of 200 gallons.
He said that the actual tests of the
products of the Standard Oil Com
pany to determine the quality are
carefully guarded, and that when it is
found necessary to cut the price to
meet the figures of a competitor, a
cheaper quality of oil was substituted
and guaranteed to be of a higher grade
than it really was.
Three Grades From One Tank
Mr.. without said that frequently
three grades of oil were sold from one
tank by agents of the Standard.
The hearing was conducted by At
tOrneys J. F. Marchand and F. S. Mo-
nett for the government. and Commits
sioners Clements, Coclxrell and PrOuty
heard the evidence. John S. Miller
and A. G. Eddy appeared for the

er Clements, at the commencement of
the hearing, announced that it was
held in pursuance of a resolution pass
ed by Congress, and that the present
session was a continuance of the in
vestigation conducted some time ago
