CHICAGO has not had sensation loi
weeks that compared with that 1t e1Pe'
rienced Saturday when it gszed upon Mr.
John d. Rockefeller in the witness chall
in the Uaited States Court. Mr.. Rookie
fellers knowledge of dividends paid by
the Standard Oil Company was tolerably
full but he knew very little about the
relations between the company and other
companies which are supposed to be sub
sidiqry to it, or aliases under which II
operates in different lines or over va
rious sections of territory. Some OF bis
partners have told the public that the
head of the concern had not been &C.
lively engaged in conducting its bust
ness for ten or a dozen years, and this
seems TO be justified by the scantiness Of
his answers after swearing to tell the
truth. In fact the courts knew Just as
much about Mr.. Rockefeller's affairs be-
fore he took the witness stand as they
did afterwards and the whole proceedings
seem to have been farce.

P. Thomas, millionaire, athlete, club
man and aeronaut has been able TO offer
no explanation of the remarkable auto
mobile accident in which he and two
young women companions suffered such
injuries early today that two of them
may die. How DR.. Thomas met Misses
Frances Haas and Alseyle Weissman,
who suffered with him, or induced them
TO accompany him on the mad speed
burst which ended so disastrously, is a
mystery. Mrs. Thomas has sent word
that she is on her way to see her hus-
band. She received notice of the acct
dent near Belamr, N. j., where she is
spending the summer. Physicians at
Fordham say DIR. Thomas magnificent
physique may pull him through with

hopeless cripple, as 1t will be necessary
to amputste his right leg.

The war spirit is growing. Naval and

launch a morning paper in New Orleans
With a united party they hope to DO
more than roll up the 10 per cent VOTE

that Mr.. Park Agnew, of this city, when
he WAS chairman of the Virginia stale
