Eifty Miles to Market.

1t Is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer forty or fifty
miles from home in wet weather with
a load. If he sees II prospect OF n
three days rain. he puts his tarpaulin
over his load. Il cover over his horses
and a waterproof coat on and starts
off to market. lie may go fly miles
before he finds market that suits him,
or he may know in advance just where
he is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm IN the United States to find n
market for load Of hay, but it is not
uncommon to see farmers wagons FOR
ty or fifty miles from home in France
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-William G..
Rockefeller. assistant treasurer Of me
Standard OIL company of New Jersey,
was a witness today in the federal suit
for the dissolution of the oil combine, and
gave testimony regarding the large loans
which appeared on the company's books,
as having been made to interests otner
than the Standard"
He testified that these loans had been
made to financial interests in this city.
The balance sheets of the Southern
Pipe Line company, from 1899 to 1905,
show that loans amounting to many mil
lions were made to II. S. Trainor and
charged to expense account
do YOU know anything about these
loans?" was asked.
Il really do not" answered Mr.. Rookie
teller.
Mr.. Kellogg then took up the loan
account of the Standard Oil company of
New York. in 1906, which reached SS2,-
100000.
"Mr. Rockefeller, find here among the
items a loan to t. M. Barnsdale of ST.
630.O44 What was that loan for?'
"The money was paid out from time
to~time to Mr.. Barnsdale at the direction
of John Archbold. The collateral was
stocks and bonds of oil and gas COM
panies in West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vanla."
Millions Loaned to Brokers
"Of the whole loan of 32,000,000 made
last year, what amount was loaned TO
Wall street brokers, and what to in
dividuals?"
"well. about s19,5oO,OOO was loaned to
Wall street brokers and the rest to Mr..
Barnsdale and to individuals" replied the
witness. 1.-THE Standard sometimes has
large sums in the street and again it
has little out at interest. The collateral
is safe stock exchange securities. We re-
quest a margin of 20 per cent at all
times
Mr. Rockefeller said the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey did not loan
money in Wall street. He said he did
not know why the subsidiary pipe lines
kept on deposit such vast sums of money,
except perhaps that it might be used in
construction work
.'Eut. Mr.. Rockefeller, those sums ag-
gregate millions" said Mr.. Kellogg.
Mr. Rockefeller discaimed familiarity
with the accounts of the pipe line com
panies.

gave the name of Dominica Bardi, but
later admitted he had given the wrong
name when Josephine San Marco arrived
at the recsiving hospital with, her dying
sister and identified the prisoner.
During his confession Laturco then told
story admitting his guilt, but laying
the blame upon his father said the po-
lice. The Italian identified his pistol
shown to him and said he had fired into
the air to frighten the people in the room
of the San Marco house, where he and
his father lived and where his rival for
the hand of Josephine San Marco was
sitting.
He declared his father said xiii the

his rival, had fired the shots at his
father, Francisco Laturco, which had
struck Maria San Marco, causing her
death. and pierced the wall making three
holes. When asked who did the shooting
he said, Joe Desparti shot at my father

Francisco Laturco told his story through
the interpreter. His account was differ

room when Despart arrived and the lat

Francisco said he told Desparti he could
not understand English. Desparti he
says, then addressed him in Italian and
told him to quit singing and leave the
house. When he heard the shots he
said, he became frightened and crawled
under the bed
"I was drunk and did not know how
many shots were fred" admitted the
Italian.
Joe Desparti took the stand and denied
