STATEMENTS UNsUBsTANTIATED
Moffett Fails to Make Good Charges Of
General Relating.

General Relating.
Chicago, o ct. 5.-The grand jury
retained by Judge Lannnd is to inves.
tigate the charges made by President
Moffett, of the Standard Oil Comany
of Indiana, namely that other con.
Germs besides the Standard Oil Com
any were benef1ciaries Of rebates from
the railroads, reported to the court
that the Moffett statements were en-.
tirely without foundation. The re-
port declares:
''From careful and thorough inves-
tigation it appears that while the state
ment credited to Mr.. Moffett was pre-
pared largely by Moritz Rosenthal,
one of the attorneys Of the Standard
Oil Company in the case Of the Unit
ed States versus the Standard Oil
Company, it was given out by Mr..
Moffett over his name as his own
statement" It developed that Mr..
Moffett had no knowledge whatever of
any facts relating to shipments of
property from Whiting, Ind, and
points in Illinois over the Chicago and
Alton or any other road, by any ship
per other than the Standard Oil Com
pany, and that the statement in ques-
tion was based entirely upon the tes-
timony of F. S. Hollands, an employe
of the Alton, given at the Standard
OIL trial.
Mr.. Moffett was unable to give a
single instance to sustain his charge
published in the Stndard Oil circular,
and he assured the grand jury that
neither Mr.. Rosenthal nor any one
else connected with the Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana, of whom he
knew, could give to the grand jury
any information, except that gathered
from the Standard Oil trial, as to
such alleged rebating. :. Is,

new line TO STRAITS
MILWAUKEE, ROAD FILES CONDEM.
NATION SUITS.
Surveyors Have Been Active for
Many Months, But Definite In
formation as to What They
We're Doing or for Whom It
Was Being Done Was Lacking.

Port Angeles, WASH, Oct. After
having been engaged for more than
eighteen months in making careful
surveys for railroad extending along
the Pacific ocean on the west side Of
the Olympic peninsula, the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroay Com
pany has located definite route for
this line and commenced condemna-
tion suits to secure rights of way for
the road.
The railroad will have the Olympic
peninsula branch completed shortly
after it's transcontinental line is in op-
GRAFTON. A branch line Of the Mil
waukee will extend from Tacoma to
Olympia and Grays harbor aud the
Port Angeles extension will be an Off
shoot of this branch.
The Milwaukee's. invasion Of this
peninsula is of tremendous Importance.
It means that the line around the Pc
ninsula which has been surveyed by
the Northern Pacific will doubtless be
completed. Two rival transcontinen-
tai lines will engage in battle for the
development of the big timber, min
eral and agricultural resources of this
great territory that is now practically
without railroad facilities and is in
the infancy of it's development.
Surveyors Have Been Busy
All summer the woods west of this
city ave been full of surveying parties.
For whom they were working and what
they were doing it has been impossi
BILE definitely to ascertain. Saturday
what they we're doing was made known
publicly by the filing in the superior
corut of this county by the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad of q
petition for condemnation proceedings
against Samuel B. jerks, Charles 81.
Ruddock and Timothy Mccarthy for
the railroad right of way through Sec
lions and Is, township %, range IA
west. This land is situated in the vi
entity of Forks. In its petition the
company states that it has surveyed,
staked and intends to build railroad
from Grays harbor to some point on
the straits of Juan de FHca and that
this land is necessary for the purpose.
Recent transactions and the fact
that the survey is completed. to within
twenty miles of this city demonstrate
that Port Angeles is the point on the
straits of Juan de Fuca mentioned in
the company's petition.
Last week the railroad company
closed deal with q. M. Lauridsen of
this city for the purchase of 1850
acres of timber land on Indian creek,
and it is known that Mr.. Lauridsen
has been instructed to buy more land
for the road. The timber land sold is
situated about eight miles from Port
Angeles.

NEW HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL HAS
 FINE LIST OF GAMES.

Henry Elliot, manager of the New Haven High school baseball team, has just completed his schedule for this season. From the schedule, which is the best that the local school has ever had, 1t is almost sure thing that the High School Athletic association will make money this year.
 Hartford High school Is seen on the list, butthat will not be a championship game, as that school was excluded from the league at the meeting of the managers, held several months ago. There are also other games scheduled, which are not championship games. The final championship game will be played in this city June 15, and New Haven will in all probability be one of the contestants in that game.
 The following is the complete sche- dule:
 April 6-Yale freshmen, in this city.
 April -Middletown High school, in this city.
 April 20-Morgan school, at Clinton.
 April 27-DeWitt Clinton school, in this city.
 May l-Merlden Hlgh School, in this city.

 Has Been Reached.
 Tn match game of the individual championship series with E. H. Nor gan last evening at Johnson's alleys, George Weber bowled a perfect score of 300.

STANDINGS BASEBALL GUIDE.

Spalding's Official Baseball Guide for 1907-the thirty year of its publi- cation-has just been published, and, for size and quality of its contents, far surpasses all previous issues of this well-known book. Its 500 pages com prise the history of the year in base ball, and nothing illustrates the growth and popularity of the national game better than the amount of space re- quired to chronicle the doings of the vast army of professional baseball clubs whose records, classified under their respective leagues, are to be found in the Spalding Guide, It is a monumental work and is certainly a tribute to the energy of it's veteran ed itor, Henry Chadwick, the Father of Baseball,P who, though in his eighty fourth year, is still as interested in the national game as when he was helping to frame its first rules for an organized government.

Greenleaf Club Announces Programme
 for April Il.
 The Greenleaf Athletic association, of this city, has completed arrangements for it's main bout for the card to be conducted at the New Haven theater on April Il.
 Amby McGarry and Jimmy Briggs. two of the fastest lightweights in New England, will clash for fifteen rounds, and the local sport lovers are promised fine exhibition.
 It was at first intended that Jeff Doherty would be matched to meet Briggs, but the management was un- able to clinch the meeting and so se- lected McGarry as an opponent for Jimmy.
 This will undoubtedly be as classy a bout as has yet been put on in this city and will be preceded by two fast pre- lims, the principals for which have not yet been selected.
