The evidence of these loans was found in
last years balance sheet, which was pro-
duced in court. When asked directly
what this account meant, Tilford replied
bluntly, Il do not know" or Il cannot
recall To secure this information the
treasurer of the company, w. q. Rookie
Teller, son of William, the brother OF
John, was subpoenaed. 1t was thought
that possibly these vast loans, which Off
Gals of the Standard could not explain,
might conceal the purchase Of ostensible
rivals. On a preceding day the specta-
Gle was presented of the head of an oil
company reputed to be a competitor of the
Standard, the New York Lubricating Oil
Company, refusing on cross examination
to put in the hands of the Standard coun-
sci the private papers and original con-
tracts of the firm. He said he would not
thus put in jeopardy information which
could be used against his concern. The
fact was brought out here that all the
big railroads pay from $4,000 to $780,
600 more for their lubricants bought of
the Standard than would be the cost at
the rates charged by the independent
company. A complete balance sheet and
income account of the oil trust were made
public for the first time. They showed
that while the company paid $4,000, 600
in dividends last year, more than $S3,
100000 was carried in the income ac-
count, leaving surplus of nearly $44,-
100000. This made total surplus of
1851 100000. The balance sheet shows
total assets about 1911 1854, 532. The val
ues of the various subsidiary companies is
given. Records of the liquidating trustees
were introduced to show that the dissolu
ton of the trust, which occurred osten-
sibly in 1892, never occurred.

Town Ii Hopeless Ruin.
Tuesday morning Fontanet was n
prosperous. coy little town OF 1000
persons. That night it was a hopeless
ruin. Every building, including homes.
stores, offices and factories, was shaken
into pieces. A hand of infinite power
sweeping all before it with demoniac
wrath could not have worked greater
havoc.
The dead and more seriously hurt
have been removed to other points
most Of them to Tere Haute, eighteen
miles distant. At least 500 inhabitants
Of Fontanet remain, however. Nearly
all Of them bear bloody traces Of the
visitation. They are camping out in
tents hurried there by the Governor,
and must be fed and cared for during
many months to come. The town is
devastated. Yet its people, so far as
possible, seem determined to remain
and make the hest of their misfortune.
The explosions at the powder mills
came without warning. What caused
the first one Is a mystery and may
never be explained.
Once the combustion had started
there was no stopping 1t and one by
one seven mills were shot into the air
in splinters. Two hundred men were
employed at the works, but luckily only
seventy-five were at their labors when
the first explosion took place.
Big Mill Ii Shattered.
The big press mill was destroyed
first. This was at OILS o'clock. The
shock and defamation were indescriba-
BILE. The ground shook for miles around
1T is reported that the effect was felt
at distance of 200 miles-buildings
rocked as IL riding n seismic swell.
And then within two minutes the
glazing mill was ruined. The building
burst outward and upward, shooting
timber, metal and glass in all directions
and killing many.
Next, the two coming mills and final
ly, as an unspeakable climax, the mag
azine and cap mill were torn to bits.
The magazine was situated about 300
yards from the main buildings of the
plant and did not ignite for over an
hour. Then the flames which were
licking up the debris had so heated the
atmosphere that the magazine respond
ed.
There were 10000 kegs OF blasting
powder stored In the magazine and
every one blew up seemingly at the
same moment. 1t was this defamation
that shook to pieces the homes and
stores and factories in FOntanet and
which brought death or injury to scores
miles distant.
Shock Is Felt Far on.

far from the powder plant, were hurled
