New Bullet Develops Muzzle Velocity Of

LONDON, July 0.--Experiments have

Of the German pointed projectile, trials
were made by the English authorities
with n bullet longer than the ordinary

to fine point. The experiments were
made with the present Lee Enfield rife
In order TO avoid the necessity Of re-
arming the entire army with the new
weapon, an expense which the govern
ment Is disinelined 10 incur. The re.
suits exceeded all expectations. In
stead Of a muzsle velocity Of 1000 feet
per second "a velocity Of from 2,400 to
$500 feet was obtained. This gives a
point blank range OF 500 yards. The
authorities are convinced that the point
ed bullet is the projectile OF the future,
II win be given an exhaustive trial at

BOISE, July 6,-Counsel for the de-
fense in the Haywood case held an ex.
tended conference today, both at their
Office and in the cells Of Haywood, Moy-
or and Pettibone and It was stated
afterwards that II would be Wednesday
next before Haywood takes the witness
stand in his own behalf, The present
program now is TO begin reading the
Bradley dispositions Monday morning,
.these to be supplemented later with ex-
pert testimony TO show If Orchard ex-
ploded 10 pounds OF dynamite at Brad
ley's home, II would have blown Bradley
to pieces and destroyed the whole front
Of the house.
Following this additional testimony
win be introduced to show that before
he fed from the Couer d'Alenes in 1900
Orchard attempted to sell his share in
the Hercules mine, and il will be shown
that Simpkins went to Denver in the
fall of 1905 after having parted with
Orchard in Caldwell. This will practi-
cally conclude the case with the excep.
tion OF the testimony of Meyer and
Haywood. Steve Adams will not be
called by the defense. To call him
would open the way for the state to
get his repudiated confession before the
jury and it is deemed better strategy to
avoid that, Direct examination of Hay
wood will, according to counsel for de-
fense, be very extended. He viii be
taken over his past life including his
connection with the Western Federation
of Miners. It is claimed that there will
be no limits and that bars will be let
down to the prosecution for minutest
cross ss-examination. Haywood will ex.
plain that the 800 sent to simpkins a
few days before the Steunenberg mur-
der was the balance of the expense &C.
count that Simpkins left with Haywood
TO be forwarded to Spokane. Presenta-
tion of states case in rebuttal will prob
ably be carried over into the succeeding
week.

ly after 10 o'clock. He was shown to
seat to the left Of the Judges bench
and was well up into the room before
his presence wa snoticed. There was con-
siderable excitement and some confus-
ion resulted from the efforts OF the
spectators to obtain closer view. He
looked around with some curiosity and
then commenced whispered conversa-
ton with his attorneys.
Before the hearing Of the Standard
Oil case, Judge lands disposed Of sew
eral minor matters. When the case was
called, the Standard Oil attorneys came
forward to the Judges desk and made
an earnest plea that Rockefeller be ex-
cused because he could give no informa-
tion that could not better be obtained
from some other source. The Judge
however refused to yacate the subpoena.
Mr.. Miller OF counsel for the defense,
objected to the present proceedings on
the ground that they were entirely out
side the jurisdiction of the court. The
Judge overruled the motion. Miller then
announced that defense objected to every
question put to every witness. Judge
lands said that every objection was
overruled and exception allowed.
The first witness was Frederick A.
Wann, former general freight agent Of
the Alton Railroad Company who was
questioned regarding the rate at which
oil should have been shipped from Whit
ing. Ind, to East st. Louis. Witness
said that he had issued instructions for
l0-cent rate.
Wann was followed by Harry E. Fell
ton, president of the Union Tank Line
FELTON, testified that the Alton paid the
Tank Line 3-4 cent for hauling both
loaded and empty cars. He said that
the Tank Line owned these ears. Wit
ness testified further that by far the
major portion of the Union Tank Line
stock is owned by the Standard Oil
Company of New jersey. He said that
the Tank Line never paid dividends be-
cause there was no money in running
tank cars, as an investment, at ga cent
per mile,
The next witness was Rockefeller.
Witness was questioned by Judge Ian
dis. He spoke with much deliberation,
pondering his answers before making
them. Before giving reply he almost
invariably fixed his eyes upon his at
torneys as if waiting to see whether
they desired to interpose an objection.
Once satisfied on this point he answered
promptly. Rockefeller testified that he
was president of the Standard Oil Com
pany Of New Jersey, but that for ten
years the position has been an honorary
one and that he had not rendered any
service. He said that the outstanding
stock of the Standard Oil Company is
about $lOOOoO,OOO. though he could not
give any definite amount. Rockefeller
said that he had been SO long out of
the business that he could not state
whether, generally speaking, business Of
Standard Oil Company is production,
distribution and sale Of oil
He had general impression that
they have refinery and refine oil, but

CHICAGO, July 5.--John d. Rockefel-
Ter occupied the witness stand in the
United States District Court today while
Judge Lands piled him with questions
regarding the financial strength and
business and the methods Of the corpor-
alton OF which he is the head. Rocke-
feller was very willing and equally
unsatisfactory witness. He was ready
to tell all he knew, but he said that he
knew practically nothing The net re-
suit Of his examination was that he be-
lieyed that during the years 1904 and
1905, the periods covered BY the indict-
ments on which the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana was recently convicted,
dividends OF the Standard Oil Company
OF New Jersey were approximately 40
per cent of the outstanding capitaliza-
ton Of sl00,OO0,OOO Investigation held
today by Judge lands was instituted
by him for the purpose of determining
whether or not the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana which was convicted of
violation of the rebate law was really
owned by the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey; whether Union Tank Line
whose cars are used for the shipments
made in violation Of law was similarly
owned and also to obtain idea OF finan-
cial resources of convicted corporation
in order to inflict fine proportionate
to the offense and assets of the con-
victed company. 1t was stated by ofti'
GERS of the Standard Oil Company OF
New Jersey that it owned the greater
part of the stock of both the Union
Tank Line and Standard Oil Company
of Indiana. Specific figures as to the
earnings of the parent corporation were
given by C. NJ. Pratt, its secretary, and
they were close to estimate given to
Rockefeller
Prospect of appearance in court of the
man reputed to be the richest man in
the world brought about spectacle
the like of which has never been wit
messed in the vicinity of Chicago
court room.
The hour set for Rockefellers appear
ance was 10 o'clock and an hour before
that time the hall outside the court
room was densely packed by a large
crowd, all Of whom were anxious to
hear the testimony. A large squad Of
deputy United States marshals and
numerous police officers were on hand
but even they were unable at times to
control the crowd, and assistance had to
be summoned from police headquarters
Admission to the court room was by
card, but many people succeeded in
cvading the guards AMI when the Judge
took his seat upon the bench, the court
room was packed to the last inch.
Lines Of people stood around the walls,
and dozens of chairs held two occu-
pants; every inch of standing room was
occupied and men sat upon the steps Of
the jury box and squatted on the floor.
Perfect order was maintained except at
the immediate opening when Judge Ian
dis threatened to clear the room if
absolute quiet was not preserved.
Rockefeller, attended by five local de-
tectives and several secret service men
to protect him from some chance crank,
was conducted to the court room short
