INQUislroR SAYS HE is CLOSER

BOOKS.
TRUST NEVER Was DISSOLVED
GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY SHOWS
UP SOME MORE ENORMOUS
PROFITS.

New York, Sept. 29.-Frank B. Kel.
logg, conducting the suit of the United
States for the dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil Company OF New Jersey, made
another hunt yesterday for a trail to
the long-sought books of the Standard
Oil trustees and liquidating trustees.
When the hearing was concluded Mr.
Kellogg said that he was closer to the
books, from which he hopes to prove
that the oil combine never underwent
legal dissolution.
Charles White, assistant secretary
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, said on the witness stand that
when he went to the secretary's office
there were two steel safes in the of.
flee.
Mysterious Safe Disappears.
One of them contained the books
and records of the Standard company
What was in the other safe he did not
know. Mr.. White said no one told him
the contents of the second safe, which
was removed two weeks after he had
been there. From whom the order
came or where the safe was taken the
witness said he could not tell. Mr..
White said that he had never seen the
records of the Standard Oil trustees
or the liquidating trustees, showing the
various transfers of stock in the trust
liquidating period. He said that he
had hunted for records recently, but
was unable to find any.
More testimony was taken to show
the profits of some of the Standard
subsidiary pipe lines, which the gov.
ernment's counsel declares are exces-

More Big Profits.
George Chesbro, controller of the
several pipe lines, testified that the
Southern Pipe Line Company of Penn
sylvania earned $4,37G,61S gross in
1890. and that the operating expenses
were only s316,522. The balance sheet
Of the company for that year showed
the net plant investment to be $2,215,.
666. The company's balance sheet
showed an item of $2,6O7.s56 as pay.
ment to J. P. Trainor, charged to op-
Grating expenses. Mr.. Chesbro said
that he could give no information
about the Trainor account. In 1900
the balance sheet showed $500 S3S
paid to Mr.. Trainor.
The case was adjourned until next
Thursday in order that John G. Mil

inscribed Dante's device abandon

stricken they misunderstood the exile,
unaware that the real mission had be-

Jews realized themselves as IA COM

more fully they became the architects

indeed, even the witnessing
prophet stated that in time to come,
these very fast days would be turned
into feast days. And as today we
Jews are sundering the fetters of per-

The

ion of the Prayer Book. n prayer
book is not finality. and the Union
Prayer Book, as it exists at present,
was never intended to be for all fu-

be spared in the L. =. b.: and. on
the other hand, there are many eth
zeal beauties in the old rubric which
could well be transferred and adapted
to our modern ritual needs. 1t would
be we'll to think the old prayer book
through again, to modify and modern
ize the old emotions. Instead OF ex-
purgating the old Zion. we would.
even though we be an anti-Iionist po-
litically. urge mention of its men,
ory. Our English prayers should not
be translations or paraphrases OF ex-
isting Hebrew devotions. but new and
fresh themselves. There should b.
room for varying aspirations which
might come To our minds. Prayer.
especially Of our modern aspirational
type. should not be stereotyped. We
become habituated to the old formu-
lae and then we hob-nob with them.
Our public worship must be an ex-
preston of our modern feelings and
not as we felt centuries ago. We re-
qlire book of Jewish common pray
er, book as will inspire us and move
us to aspire. Such a book we hope

Horror

from a horrible condition OF peonage
in Pueblo. The falsehood has been
refuted, but such occurrences tend TO
prejudice the great and self-sacr1fic-
ing labors of our leaders who are
working for the welfare of these per-
secuted folk. Among the vast hordes
that flock to our shores there are some
undesirables who are ungrateful and
lazy. The individuals in question
who ran to New York with their yarn,
were of this class. While here they
acted most unbecoming and in our
eyes seemed dangerous element.
Some plans should be devised where
by a selection of the predominatlng
desirables could be made on the other
side and whereby we would be spared
wasting money, time and effort on be-
half of those who turn against us and
discredit us. The matter is too serious
to be quietly and unconcernedly
dropped. The offense is apt to be re-
peated and aggravated if stop be
