The Standard OILS Spy system.

Another interesting disclosure was
made in the Standard Oil case at New
York Tuesday when Mr.. Kellogg, the
governments counsel, almost by accident
uncovered a department of which little
or nothing had been known. This de-
partment is known as the statistical de-
partment, and includes one Of the most
perfect systems OF espionage in the world.
From William G. Westcott, vice president
of the Standard Oil company of Ken
lucky Mr.. Kellogg drew out the fact
that through this department the Stand
ard Oil company has for years kept tabs
on every gallon of oil sold in the world,
has kept record of every can, barrel, or
tank-car load which has been taken from
the oil fields by competitors, and has
traced the oil to market, learning each
charge incurred and the final selling
price. In perfecting this spy service It
appeared that the railroads furnished
valuable aid to the Standard, and, in fact,
have made possible the successful out
come of rate wars for the Standard OIL
co,,ateiy Of New Jersey and it's many
suiie ocerns.

B., of Chicago. Mr.. Young is a member

closes the action of pure and noble
thoughts, not only upon what is called
the human mind, but also upon the hui
man body" The lecture will be compli-
mentary.

WORK AT THE DAM

A Section Of Crib Built and Floated In to
FIJI the Opening In the Upper Crib
River Has Fallen Two Feet.
Aside from the work of the steam drills
the rock blasting, and the piling up of
the broken rock ready to go to the stone
crusher, the essential work now being
done at the site Of the dam is on the
loading and completion of the cribs of the
cofferdam.' On Monday and Tuesday a
section of crib was built to fill the open
ing which was left in the upper crib for
the high water ~ flow through. This
section of the crib was successfully
fioated into place Wednesday afternoon
and it practically stops the water from
flowing over and through the upper crib.
The work of building the upper crib to
its full height and of erecting a deck
upon the crib is proceeding rapidly, and
by the use of the big derricks and the
railroad trains many tons of rock are
loaded upon the upper and lower sections
of the crib day by day. The water has
fallen about two feet during the week
and the outlook is favorable for a sue
cessful prosecution of the work ready to
pump out the cofferdam and prepare to
lay the concrete of the dam itself.
The towers for the cable way, which
will bring the cement over from the
Vermont side, have been erected on either
shore ready to string the cables
The saw mill is as busy as ever and
the streams from the big pumps are
rapidly making way with the remnants
which remain of the high bank on the
New Hampshire shore.

Sensations on EXCHANGE in New York.

Sensations followed each other in rapid
succession in the financial district at New
York yesterday as the result of the COL
lapse of the projected corner in United
copper and the suspension of a prominent
brokerage firm Wednesday. The firm of
Otto Heinze & Co. was suspended on the
stock exchange yesterday. F. Augustus
HeinZe, the Butte copper magnate, re-
signed the presidency of the Mercantile
national bank of New York and the
Amalgamated Copper company at its
directors meeting cut its quarterly divi-
dend from per cent to 1 per cent. The

Attorney General Boraparte has rem
dered an opinion to the erect that the
action of state in furnishing financial
assistance or giving promise of employ
ment to secure immigration is a viola
tion of the immigration laws, under
which the state is in precisely the same
standing as an individual. The occasion
of this opinion was the case of one
Geronimo Garcia, who came to New Or
leans from Cuba, his passage money having
been paid by the Louisiana state board
of agriculture and immigration. He had
also been given assurance that employ
ment as farm laborer would be secured
for him, and he had promised to return
TO the state the money advanced for
his passage.

The paper on our Vermont vital statis-
tics. which Dr. Holton read before the
American Public Health association at
Atlantic City the other day, is a very in
teresting document. 1t shows what has
been accomplished through the operation
of our Vermont registration law during
the past half century, and, what is much
more important, it shows how the death
rate from acute infectious diseases has
been largely decreased and the average
length of life has been appreciably pro-
longed through the enforcement of mod
ern sanitary laws. 1t is a suggestive pa
per in more ways than one.

the prompt successes which followed her
debut in Paris. Nine. Szumowska has
her pattle half won when she appears"
declares the New York World. ''She has
a most winning personality, and yet she
has abundant artistic power as well. The
brilliancy of her technique is fairly daz-

titled to foremost place among living

The New Haven, Conn, city election
was carried by the Democrats last week,
and the significant thing about the result
is that the Republican leaders believe It
was mainly due to the fact that the
large negro vote of the city was cast
almost solidly for the Democratic ticket.
A quiet but effective campaign was car
ried on among the negroes based on the
bitterness growing out OF the Brownsville
incident and President Roosevelt's dis
charge of the negro regiment in disgrace

The Merger Will Erect a Building to
Cost $5,OOO,OOO.

Chicago, April 3o.-A hotel and the
alter building to cost nearly $4,000, 900
including the ground on which it will
stand, will be erected inside the elevated
loop district of Chicago.
The theater will be the property OF
the United States Amusement company,
the outgrowth of the recent merger Of
Klaw & Erlanger and other syndicates,
while the hotel will be the property OF
the same people, although they will in
corporate for this purpose under another
name. A site for the structure has been
practically agreed on, but will not be
made public until another name, the
final one to the deal, has been deter
mined.
A. L. Erlanger, president of the com
pany and its managing director, spent
the day in Chicago yesterday. He left
last night on tour of inspection of the
various properties held by the concern
all over the country. He was in consul
tation for some time with Levy Mayer,
counsel for the company, and afterwards
he said the plans for the theater, which
will be known as THE Chicago" had
been drawn. The new theater is due to
open within year or so, and it is ex-
pected the hotel will be ready soon af-
terward. +

A Too Jealous Juror Causes Suspen-
sion of a Murder Trial

New York, April 30.-Excessive
zeal by a juror in the murder trial of
Nine. De Massey caused an abrupt adj
journment of the trial yesterday and
may result in a mistrial. Nine. De
Massey, who is reputed in some quar-
tiers to be a baroness, is charged with
having fatally shot Gustav Simon, a
waist manufacturer.
The juror whose absorption in the
case caused summary action by JUS
tice Blanchard, who is presiding over
the case, is George w. Guernsey, a
bookkeeper. Without asking the per-
mission of the court or being accom-
panied by any fellow jurors he visited
the scene of the alleged crime and ex-
amined a stairway there. Justice
Blanchard hastily adjourned court to
give himself time to consult authori-
ties before deciding whether the trial
can go on under these circumstances.
