 To Break Previous
 Transatlantic
 Records. WILL PROBABLY ARRIVE TONIGHT Average Speed So Far 24.21 Nautical Miles An Hour Sea and Water Favor.

On Board the Lusitania, Wednesday Oct. g, via Cape Race, Newfoundland, Oct, s.--At o'clock tonight the Lusi- tania was in latitude 4324 north. and longitude 5S,41 west. From noon to- day the steamer has covered 216 knots, She was 1856 knots from Daunts Rock at noon. The average for this entire distance has been 24.21 nautical miles an hour.
 The weather tonight Is clear and the sea smooth. The steamer is being drlv- en.
 To-night's wireless report places the Lusltania's position 620 miles east of Sandy Hook bar at o'clock tonight. Should to-night's speed be maintained the turbiner would be off the bar at 10 o'clock tomorrow night This would make her time four days, sixteen hours and thirty minutes. Her average for the trip thus far has exceeded to-day's speed and with favorable weather and the benefit of the usually fast track for the final stretch, she is likely to reach here even earlier
 At all events she can hardly fail to beat all transatlantic records.

STANDARD OIL
 METHODS UNFCLDED How the Trust Liquidated the Company to Comply With
 Order of Courts. OPERATIONS WERE
 CONTINUED ILLEGALLY The Company Was the Lender of Many Millions of it's
 Surplus Funds.

New York, Oct s.-The method through which the trustees of the Standard Oil trust liquidated the com pany in order to comply with the or der of the Ohio courts was further un- folded to-day when Wesley II. Tilford, treasurer Of the Stancard Oil com pany of New Jersey, was recalled to the witness stand in the federal suit against the so-called trust. State ments compiled from stock books of the various subsidiary companies during the period of the trust liquida- ton were placed on the record, and from there transcripts and from Mir. Tilford, the governments counsel, Frank B. Kellogg, says that the grav- amen of the governments charges that only pseudo liquidation was ef- fected and that the trust continued it's ! operations as an entity and under the same control as at the time of It's in- ception in 1883 has been proved.
 MT. Kellogg was able to develop that the liquidating trustees and their associates liquldated only enough trust certificates to give them q rnator- ity of the stocks of the twenty subsid- iary companies, and that they voted these stocks as individuals and main tained constant control over the in- tegral companies. The dividends de- clared on the stocks of these compan- ies were paid directly to those hold CTS who held the stocks against the unliquidated certificates of the trust MT Kellogg showed that the trustees and the one or two associates were the only certificate holders who liquidated their shares in the ola Standard Oil trust
 Mr. Tilford testified to-day that tfe cross-town pipe line under Centra park, whose ownership has caused con. siderable perplexity to the fedora counsel when it did not appear on tht books of the Standard Oil company ot New York after 1906, was still owned by the New York company.
 Mir. Kellogg again tried to find ou the reasons for the large loans amounting to several millions, given {, F. 8. Trainor, by the Southern Pipt Line company over period of severa
