Two Young Men.

Shrill outcries coming from Plum alley,
near Second South street, about IL O'Clock
last night, caused Policemen Mccormick
and Burton to hurry into that narrow
thoroughfare. There they found Ye Hing,
a Third South street laundryman, yelling
at the top OF his voice in one of the dark
est corners. Hing pointed toward boy
who was leaving the alley and said that
the youth had robbed him. The boy was
taken into custody. He gave the name of
Victor Buckle, II years old, of $50 South
Seventh East street
According TO Kings story. he was pass
ing through the alley when the Buckle boy
stopped him. While he was speaking to
the boy. another lad of about the same
age came up from behind and seized his
arms, pinioning them behind him.
Hing claims that he was then robbed
of IS.
When young Buckle was searched, no
money was found in his possession.
Hing thinks the other boy got away
with the money.

BLOCKADING OF STREET.
Street Railway Company Says City
Forfeited Riqhts.

Judge Armstrong yesterday listened
to arguments in the case of the city
against the Utah Light & Railway COM
pany, in which the city seeks to have the
company fined for blockading Fourth
South street between Fifth and Sixth
West streets. The case was appealed
from the city court.
At the conclusion of the hearing yes
terday the court ordered a continuance
in order to allow the city time to produce
more evidence.
The contention of the company is that
the city has forfeited its right of way
over the street and has not the right to
complain of a blockade. Whatever rights
the city ever had in the street, it is al
legged, have been given up.
The city says that the request of the
company for a new franchise, which in
cludes the street mentioned, is evidence
that the rights of the city are recognized
by that concern.
P. ]. DAILY, assistant city attorney, is
prosecuting the case and asked for the
continuance in order to allow him time
TO secure the original patent from the
federal government giving the property
to the city.

GENDER 2.

New York Oct. 1S.-William G. Rookie
Teller, assistant treasurer of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey. was a wit
ness 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 other
thar Standard" He testified that these
loans had been made to financial interests
in this city.

Line company from 1899 to 1903 show that

expense account.
do you know anything about these
loans? was asked.
Really Didn't Know.
81 really do not" answered Mr.. Rookie
Teller
Mr.. Kellogg then took up the loan &C
count of the Standard Oil company of
New York, in 1906, which reached $S2.-
''Mr Rockefeller. find here among the
items a loan to T. NJ. Barnesdale of ST.
6500H. What was that loan for?'
''The money was paid out from time to
time 10 Mr.. Barnesdale at the direction
of John Archbold. The collateral was
stocks and bonds of oil and gas com
panies in West Virginia and Pennsyl-
Vania."
cot the whole loan of $s2,oOo,OoO made
last year, what amount was loaned to
Wall street brokers and what to indi-
viduals?'
well about s19,5oOOO0 was loaned to
Wall street brokers and the rest to Mr..
Barnesdale and to individuals" replied
Mr.. Rockefeller. Said he:
Large Sums Loaned.
The Standard sometimes has large
sums in the street and again 1t has little
out at interest. The collateral is safe
stock exchange securities. We require a
margin of 20 per cent at all times"
Mr.. Rockefeller said that 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, eX-
cept, perhaps, that 1t might be used in
construction work.
But Mr.. Rockefeller, those sums ag-
gregate Millions" said Mr.. Kellogg.
Mr.. Rockefeller disclaimed familiarity
with the accounts of the pipe line COM
panies.
After several statements concerning the
business of the Standards pipe lines had
been placed in evidence. an adjournment
Of the hearing was announced until Dec.
2, in order that counsel may have time
to go over the evidence developed.
