Despite Antitrust Laws Of Com,
monwealth Ct!?slGana Oil Com
pdny. Branch of Great NGW
Jersey Corporation. Is
In Business There.

New York, Sept 19.-John D..
Rockefeller Is the owner of more than
a fourth interest in the old Standard
oil trust, according to the testimony
of W. IL. Tilford in the federal pro-
ceedings against the Standard oil
company of New Jersey here today.
Tilford testified that 1t was correct
that Rockefeller owned 256,S54
shares out of total of 972, 900 shares
of the Standard Oil trust certificates
of 1892 and that later an assi"~.,.
was mace; ennrerring To Rockefeller

stocks of subsidiary companies.
Trust Active In Texas.
Evidence was adduced today at
the hearing which Frank B. Kellogg.
who is conducting the governmert' :;
actions, says tends 40 prove that the
Standard Oil company Is operating in
Texas under the name of the Corsi-
cana Refining company. Texas anti
trust laws forbid the Standard from
doing business within the borders OF
that state. Kellogg developed from
Wesley H. Tilford that H. G. Folger
and ~ Nj. Payne, who. Kellogg SAYS,
are the owners of the Corsicana COM
pany. are officials of the Standard
oil company.
TiIford Tsilss,
Wesley II. Tilford Is treasurer of
the Standard Oil company, and he
was questioned today by Frank 3.
Kellogg, who is conducting the fed
;eral suit against the oil combine, in
the effort to CLEAN further facts and
figures concerning the development
iof the Standard OIL trust and its sub
sequent liquidation into the present
Standard oil company of New Jersey
Tilford was shown a copy of the
agreement of 1882, giving a list of
the companies that entered into the
trust.
1T appears that the Chess-Carley
company signed that agreement;
have you thought about that since
spoke to you last night?" asked Kel-
logg.
81 have not" replied Tilford, who
yesterday testified that he had been
a member of the Chess-Carley COM
pany of Louisville before he became
Identified with the Standard.
How They Did IL.
Tilford testified that between 1892
and 1899 the trustees received divi-
dends on the unliquidated stocks of
the subsidiary companies ana distrib-
uted money to the holders of trust
certificates and the holders of liquid
ating assignments. The trustees did
no; vote this subsidiary stock as they
had done before the company under
went liquidation. Prior to 1892 he
said the trustees voted the stock and
elected directors in all the subsidiary
companies.

LAST DAY FOR THEN"
DECLARES STATESMAN
insurgents Are Preparing TO Az
tack Seoul and Are Killing jap
anese OfiCials--FOrelgners
Are Fleeing to Hills For
Safety From Mobs,

Toxic, Japan, Sept 19.-The pos
sibility that Japan may have to an
mex Korea seems again to have arls-
en-. Marquis Ito is quoted as having
said that it may be necessary to al
ter Japan's policy owing to the pres
ent situation, and If the Korean peo-
pie persist in their attitude OF un-
friendiness, it will be the last day
Tor them" Toxic papers are receiv-
ing reports that the insurgents are
gathering around Seoul to attack II.
Rowing parties are killing japanese
officials and the civilians are feelng
to the mountains upon the approach
of Japanese troops
Japan Wants Peace.
Marquis Ito, I'm the official paper
of the government, today states that
all Japan wants is peace in Korea
and that the Koreans seem unable
to realize that fact. He denies MAT
his country has any strong desire to
annex the country, but insists that
such move will only take place in
the Interest of peace.
The situation in Korea has reached
such a point that armed interference
is necessary on the part of Japan,
according to the marquis. Only yes
terday a Japanese official was att
tackled by a mob and nearly killed
just inside the Seoul gate and 1t was
to his assistance to prevent his being
murdered. The same condition pre-
walls outside of Seoul.
Koreans are Savage.
1t was generally believed by Jap
anese officials that the abdication of
the former emperor, who ruled with
an iron hand, would be hailed with
delight by the people at large, but
their hatred for the Japanese has
been so marked. that the wisdom OF
that move is now seriously doubted.
The Korean people are savage in
their hatred of everything Japanese
and their soldiers, many of whom de-
serted, while others are held as pris-
oners by the Japanese, aid the COM
mon people in every possible man
ner.
Annexation Only Possible End.
Annexation of Korea by Japan has
been looked upon by the world pow
ers as the only possible end and, de-
spite the fact that the powers will
not all approve Japan's expansion,
Il is not believed that there will be
any serious objection.
The Korean government is now in
control of the emperor, son of the
ex-ruler, who Is only a puppet in
the hands OF japanese officials, hence
annexation would mean but little
change TO the Koreans except IN
name of government.

KIDNAPPING CASE IS ONLy
TALLY
SOLVED
italian Boy. Stolen Month
Ago. Discovered Near
Home Today.
FATHER RECEIVED
THREATENING LETTERS

New York, Sept. 19.-The Italian
kidnapping case which had puzzled
the police for month past, has been
solved, Nicola Temaso, four years
old, the son of a boodblack in East
Houston street, being found in front
of a house in Fifth avenue today.
The boy said that a man named Tony
had him and two little girls and an
other boy away on long trolley
ride and told him to wait on the
street until he came back. Nicolas
father got many threatening letters
before the boy disappeared on Aug
ust 19.
No Clue TO Kidnapers.
The police have watched every
possible clue but no trace of the alb
ductors has ever been discovered,
and the boy who was found today is
unable to show the police where he
has spent the past month. He mere
ly knows that he was well fed and
we'll treated, outside of the fact that
he was not permitted to leave the
house. which was inhabited by sew
eral Italian families.
1t Is not believed that the boy was
kidnapped by the Blackhand society
but the crime is laid at the door OF
parties with whom the boys father
had trouble In the past. The let
ters, while they bear some resem-
blance to blackhand letters, are
hardly of a nature to be laid at the
door of the society.

Willard, y. NJ, Sept 19.-(Spcc-
iaD-The latest development in the
trouble the Willard Townsite COM
pany is having in proving a title to
the Willard townsite is the rumor
that the government will take abso-
lutte control of the land in question
and hold a public auction, at which
the Willard lots will be sold to the

Jumpers Withdrawn.

The fight for improved properly,
which began when it became known
that the government had turned
down the scrip offered by the Will
ard Townsite company, has ceased,
the jumpers Withdrawing and leaving
the property in possession Of the
parties owning the improvements,
But the unimproved property Is be-
ing jumped and held by the right Of
possession.
The scrip offered for the tsnd by
the townsite company is said to have
been Sioux Indian scrip and it Is said
that it was considered void because
it lacked one power of attorney. The
alleged irregularlty has caused a
great deal Of confusion and has de-
preciated the value of Willard prop
erty TO a large extent, and the gener-
al opinion is that as a result there
will be little troubles in Willard for
some time TO come, If the matter
is ever Strengthened out.

DRUNK PUNISHED TEN
TIMES SINCE MAY

Frank Grau has broken his record.
Up until yesterday the best he could
do in the way of being arrested for
drunkenness was once and a half a
month, but yesterday he pleaded guilty
in the police court for the tenth time
in six months and was sent over for
a months rest on the reef. To find
the time and energy to be found drunk
ten times in six months, between SEN
fences, is no mean accomplishment.
John Richards, who is only dilletante
compared with Grau, and who doesn't
cross the line once where Grau does
twice, got the second prize from Judge
Andrade, ten dollars and costs. Three
others appeared among the also rams
and paid in the regular entry money
of three and costs.
Eleakala Kaui, who last appeared at
the police station under the name of
Haleakala, was up for trial for the al
legged stealing of a Panama hat from a
hat cleaner on Liliha street. His case
went over until November 5. The
story of the complaining witness is
that Kauf got away with a Panama
skypiece which had just been cleaned
and was put away to dry, lifting it as
he passed out of the shop. A police Of
ficer, sent to recover the hat from
Kaui's room, was met with a denial on
the part of the accused, but eventual
ly located the stolen property in
box Then Kauf suddenly remembered
having purchased the hat from Chi
nese secondhand dealer, giving name
and place. The officer took him to the
Chinaman, who denied ever having
seen him before.
James Sheldon, an eX-soldler, ar
rested for disturbing the quiet of the
night, was up for sentence, but the
Judge decided to take until this morn
ing to consider his case.
William Munroe who didn't know
that Phares w. Rider, superintendent
of the Kakaako Mission, carried
commission from Sheriff Iaukea to ar
rest all evil doors, and who had object
ed to his butting in on a little family
row, was called down severely by
Judge Andrade, who thought that Will
liam ought to have firsthand knowl-
edge of every police officer in the city
bv this time He didn't send him to
iafI. however. letting him go under a
suspended sentence.

WHY ABDULLA KHAN
WAS WANTED So

Abdulla Khan, the Hindu put under
! surveillance by Chief Taylor during the
few hours the China was last in port
on her way to the Orient. while an
attempt was made to get the Oakland
police to tell for what he was want
ed. and who was allowed to sail away,
is said to have worked a double-cross
on a number of his countrymen on the
Coast. A despatch from Oakland, in
the Coast papers, tells the following;
OAKLAND. October 19.-Chief of Po-
lice Wilson has cabled to Honolulu for
the arrest of a Hindu named Abdulla
Khan. who is accused by fellow
Hindu. G.. Nukerji of 2209 Union street,
Berkeley, of double crossing" him ana
a number of others. Nukerji said that
a Hindu of the Singh caste was robbed
of 1925 and that the others made up
that amount TO reimburse him. Fear
ing that if it was put in a bank the
money would be confused with the
stolen funds and prevent prosecution
in the event of an arrest, the whole
amount was given TO Abdulla Khan TO
keep.
Khan left with the money and only
recently the police learned that he was
in Hawaii. He will be brought PACK
for trial on an ENLIGHTENMENT charge
