THE QffIGIOUS JENKINS
 WHY HE WAS FIRED
American Consul to Salvador Was Encouraging Central American Strife.

Mexico City. July 6.-According to a special cablegram received today from Salvador the recent removal of Consul General Jenkins has caused a great sensation in official and diplomatic circles of the republic. An open ac- cusation Is made that Consul General Jenkins was the organizer and insti- gator of the revolution of Salvador.
 It is alleged that charges were conveyed to Washington and Inspecto: of Consuls Murphy was instructed to months investigation Murphy recom- mended that Jenkins be removed and he was consequently recalled.
 It is charged that during the recent war Jenkins delivered cables to secret agents of Zelaya who were stationed in San Salvador. These cables it is suspected bore the signature of Unit ed States Minister Merry. The gov ernment at Washington has demanded an explanation from Zelaya because ol his unwarranted use of the name of United States diplomatic officer.
 In support of the charges. the Sal vadorean government has filed with the state department at Washington copies of the cables which passed be- tween Zelaya and his agents through the alleged connivance of Jenkins. Zelaya is stationing 1000 troops or the Salvadorean border at the port O Cosiguila preparatory to a second in vasion of San Salvador.

DRIVEN TO CRIME
 BY GOLD WEATHER
A Shivering Burglar Entered Two Phoenix Houses During the Wind
 storm Last Evening.

Since the thaw on the 3rd instant the summer has frightened up again and yesterday the thermometer only reg istered 1O9. Some people who have lit- tie resisting power against cold wealth CT. positively suffered. Last evening. between s and o'clock one man was even driven to criminality in order to keep himself warm.
 He chanced to be passing along Third street near Madison, when the wind storm came up and chilled him so he made a mad dash through a window on the Madison street side of the residence of J. A. Johnson. That particular apartment has been occu- pied for many years by Frank Griebel, but he did not chance to be at home. nor was anyone else about the premises just at that time. The shivering bur glar put on a coat and vest belonging tn MT. Griebel and looked around for an oyercoat. but could not find one.
 He left the place as suddenly as he had entered and continued his search. next entering the adjoining house through window This building is occupied by Jesse Mcdonald. but he also had his overcoat put away for the season and all the visitor could find that he thought he could use was a small diamond ring and 90 cents in money. which he took.
 As soon as the robberies were dis covered the fact was reported to the police but no clew to the identity of the shivering wretch had been found at a late hour last night.

MADE A BAD GUESS
 ON BANK STATtMtNTS
The Reserve Was Many Millions Away From Spectators Estimates.

New York, July 6.-The cash reserve showing in the bank statement was from ten to over twelve millions away from the preliminary estimates. $5.- 100000 cash decrease comparing with the expected increase of-five. to over seven million.
 The loan item. at the same time showed a contraction of nearly eleven million resulting in the scaling down in deposits and helping to restrict the decline in the surplus to s1.653. .025. but leaving for that item only sS5625O. The loan showing. following upon the con- traction of last week, makes il evident that the corporations depended on the money market much less than usual No explanation is offered for the huge discrepancy in the cash showing. The stock market placed reliance Non the downward tendency of call mOney rates as an index of actual banking conditions.

Sir Archibald Geikie and Sir Charles Lyall. Tonight Mir Clemens was the guest of the Savage Club where he was welcomed by large gathering.
 He wore his white flannels for the first time in England. He spoke for twenty minutes and his remarks were received with the greatest enthusiasm. The club presented him a replica of the Ascot cup and MT. Clemens remarked that he would not be able to sell the replica because they had given such publicity to the fact that he stole it.

BATTLfSHIP MOVEMENT
 THE BUREAU OFFICIALS
Have Not Been Informed of the Officially
 Confirmed Report
An Explanation of Whatever Activity There is In Strengthening the Navy and Improving Navy Yards and Coast Defenses.

Washington. July 6.-The heads of the navy bureau assert ignorance of the plans of the administration to send battleship fleet to the Pacific. not withstanding official confirmation of the reports. The bureau chiefs say they are engaged only in routine work preparations They assert they had no orders to do otherwise.
 On the surface there are few signs of abnormal activity in the depart ment. Many of the chiefs are away and the usual proportion of subordinates are on vacations. But the plans of the department for this particular summer fit in well with the exigencies of the moment.
 The matter of the coal supply is an instance. The movement of fuel to the far east and Pacific coast may be to meet the average demands of the ser- vice. In fact. it is stated that coal would have gone forward before this. had money been available before the beginning of the new fiscal year. The supply reserve of naval guns ammuni- ton and torDedoes is found to be much nearer the needs of the service than It has ever been at this season of the year.
 The construction of guns for the new ships is progressing and arma- ment for the armored cruisers is about to be turned over to the government and will be ready by the time the con tractors have finished the hulls and fittings of the ships. Headway has been made with the great guns for the two big 10000 ton battleships all though the contracts for these have not been signed. Orders for forgings for these guns were placed two months ago with the Bethlehem. Mid vale and Carnegie works

 DEMANDS HIS SALARY
He Also Wants to Apply the Contin-
 gent Fund to His Offices in the Jail.

San Francisco. July 6.-Mayor Schmitz today sent a formal demand upon Auditor Horton for his full sal ary for the month of June and the $500 contingent fund allowed the mayors office for July. The letter contained a warning against paying these or any other sums upon the order to James L.. Gallagher. acting mayor. The auditor was notified that he with his bonds men would be held personally respon- sible. The auditor decided that his only safe course is to refuse to pay the mayoralty demands unless they bear the signatures of both Schmitz and Gallagher.
 It is stated today that District At torney Langdon has decided to advo- cate the selection of w. J. LeBreton to succeed Schmitz as soon as the latter is sentenced by Judge Dunne. LeBreton is banker and philanthropy ist. He has been active in previous nOnpartisan political movements.

THE HISTORY
 OF HAYWOOD
Will Be Told In fuII This
 Week.
Every Incident of 1t Will Be Laid Bare to the PrOs- ecutiOn.

Boise, Idaho July 6.-counsel for the defense in the Haywood case had an extended conference today both at their down town office and in the day cell of Haywood. Mover and Pettibone in the county jail. It was stated after ward that it would be Wednesday be- fore Haywood takes the oath as wit ness in his own behalf.
 The program as it now stands is to begin on Monday by reading the depo- sitions taken in San Francisco as to the explosion at the house of Fred Bradley. These dispositions are to be supplemented later with the evidence of an expert on explosives. It is con- 1 tended by the defense that ten pounds ! of dynamite expoded as Orchard swears the Bradley bomb was. would have blown Bradley to pieces and de- | stroyed the whole front of the house. ! After the dispositions there will be additional testimony to show that be- |, fore he fled from the Occur D'Alenea in 1899 Orchard attempted to sell his | interest in the Hercules mine and then | there will be a showing as to the movements and actions of Jack Simp- kins, when he went to Denver in the fall of 1905 after having parted with | Orchard at Caldwell. This will prac- ! tically conclude the case with the ex- ception of the testimony of Mover and Haywood.
 | Steve Adams will not be called by the defense. To call him would be tC open the way for the state to get his repudiated confession before the jury and it is deemed better strategy tC avoid that.
 The direct examination of Haywood will according to the statement of the defense. be very extended. He will bs taken over a stretch of his life that vii embrace all important events, inelud- ing his connection with the Federation with which his later life has beer closely interwoven.

Chicago. July 6.-John D. Rockefeller occupied the witness stand in the dis trict court today while Judge Landis piled him with questions regarding the financial strength and business meth ods of the corporation of which he is the head.
 Mir. Rockefeller was a willing and equally unsatisfactory witness. He was ready to tell all he knew. but he said he knew practically nothing The net result of the examination was that he believed that during the years 1903. 4 and 5 the period covered by the in dictments on which the Standard Oil company of Indiana was recently con- Victed. the net profits of the Standard oil company of New Jersey were ap- proximately 40 per cent of the out standing capitalization of s100.000. 900.
 The investigation held today was in- stituted for the express purpose of de- termining whether or not the Standard oil company of Indiana was really owned by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. whether the Union Tank Line, whose cars were used for ship ments made in violation of the law was similarly owned and also to obtain an idea of the financial resources of the convicted corporation in order to inflict fine proportionate to the of fense. It was stated by officers of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey that it owns the greater part of the stock of both the Union Tank Line and the Standard Oil company of In- diana. Specific figures al to the earn ings of the parent corporation were given by Charles M. Pratt, secretary and they are close to the estimate giv- en by Rockefeller.
 The prospective appearance of the man reIuted to be the richest in the world brought about a spectacle the like of which had not been witnessed in Chicago court rooms. The hour set for his appearance was 10 o'clock. An hour before that time the hall outside the court room door was densely pack ed by a crowd all of whom were an- xious to obtain seats to hear the tes- timony. A large squad of deputy mar shals under the direction of United States Marshal Hoy, and a numerous detail of police were on hand but they at times were unable to control the crowd. The crowd was so dense that frequest cries for assistance W ere heard and people who were jammed against the wall begged for relief. Ad mission to the court room was by card only. but many people succeeded in evading the guards. Even after the court room was filled the crowd be- came so heavy and insistent that the marshal was compelled to telephone to police headquarters for further assist ance. This was promptly sent and the crowd was held in check. Inside the court room perfect order prevailed.
 John D. Rockefeller arrived at the federal building in the automobile of Harold NJ. Mccormick. son-in-law of MT. Rockefeller. at 9:30. The party first crossed the street to the offices of the Standard Oil and after remain ing a short time returned to the fed eral building. The party was compell- ed to halt at the building while the police fought with the crowd. Five local detectives and a number of secret Service men gathered closely around Mir. Rockefeller, protecting him from the crush and possible injury at the hands of some crank

 "I believe about s1O0.O0O.000 outstand ing" said MT. Rockefeller. I do not state this definitely. your honor"
 You think it about S100. ,00O?"
 That is my idea"
 Mir Rockefeller spoke very deliber- ately. invariably looking toward his at torneys before answering a question. but listening closely to the judge as the latter. leaning toward the oil magnate. slowly enunciated his questions.
 Generally speaking" resumed the judge. what is the business of the Standard oil of New Jersey?'
 ''The production of oil.' succinctly replied MT. Rockefeller. and the crowd smiled.
 Then Mir. Miller again objected to this line of questioning. The judge overruled the objection and MT. Rocke- feller resumed his answer.
 Your honor" said he. 'I have been so long out of the business. could not we'll answer tte question. It is a doz- en years since I have been actively re- lated with it's affairs. It is eight or ten years since I have even been in the office at all"
 Well. what is your general impress sion of what the business of the Stand ard oil is?'
 They have refineries to refine oil This is as near as I can say without study of the charter"
 Does the Standard Oil of New Jer- sey own any stock in the Standard Oil of Indiana?'
 q object" came instantly from MT Miller. He offered lengthy objections to questions of indirect ownership ir the course of which he said the gov ernment has a purpose in this investi- gation."
 What do you mean by purpose asked the court.
 ''I have seen such statements in the papers"
 'I will say for the information oi counsel" replied the judge, that the government has no part in this partic- ular inquiry. It is pertinent for ths court to prosecute the investigation. tC obtain knowledge of the wealth of thi. lcorporation Have you any impression, Mir Rockefeller. that the Standard oil o New Jersey is interested in any othel refineries than this one you mention. ed?"
 'I only know of the operation of tn, refineries in New Jersey owned by tn, Standard oil of New Jersey"
 Do you know if it controls othel companies?' ''I do not know. It may he so." In reply to further questioning tn, witness explained that he could no say that the company has had an, other business than the refining Of oil You are rather technical" he con cluded.
 What were the dividends of tn, Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1905 ?'' ''I cannot say. but approximately for. i ty per cent" This concluded the questions of Judg, Landis and District Attorney Sims ask. ed if the witness was familiar with tn, circumstances surrounding the forma. tion of the Standard Oil of Indiana 'I don't think I care for that sait Judge Landis.
 What officers of the Standard Oi 1 company will be able to give me tn, earnings of the Standard Oil com. pany during 1904 and 1905?" 'I think possibly MT. Archbold ol MT. Pratt"
