RICHEST Man IN WORLD
FACES JUDGE IN COURT
John o. Rockefeller Swears He Knows
But Little About Standard Oil
Company, of Which He
is the Head.

Chicago.-John ID. Rockefeller, pres
ident of the Standard Oil company OF
New Jersey, occupied the witness
stand in the United States district
court on Saturday while Judge Lands
piled him with questions regarding the
financial strength and the business
methods of the corporation of which
he Is the head.
Mr.. Rockefeller was very willing
and an equally unsatisfactory witness.
He was ready to tell all that he knew,
but he said that he knew practically
nothing. The net result of his exam
ination was that he believed during
the year $1,000, 1904 and 1905, the Pc
riod covered by the indictments on
which the Standard Oil company Of
Indiana was recently convicted, the
net profits Of the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey were approx
mately 40 per cent of an outstanding
capitalization of $100,000,000.
The investigation held by Judge
Lands was instituted by him for the
express purpose of determining
whether or not the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, which was convicted
of violation of the law, was really
owned by the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey, whether the Union
Tank Line, whose cars were used for
the shipments made in violation Of
the law, was similarly owned, and
also to obtain an idea of the financial
resources of the convicted corporation
in order to inflict fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.

two miles from this city, was thH
scene of death and destruction caused
by tornado which struck this district
on the night of the 3rd. A woman
named Paves and her child were

occurred. The wind blew at a cy-

Hundreds of people from all over this

COLOMBIA MAY
FORGIVE PANAMA
Difficulties Which Have Ex-
listed for Some Time in Fair
Way of Settlement.
Secretary of War Taft Takes a Hand
In Central American Quarrel, and
It is Believed That Satisfactory
Settlement is in Sight.

New York.-The long-standing diff.
ficulties between the government OF
Colombia on the one side, and the re.
public of Panama and United States
on the other, are nearing a solution
Secretary of War Taft stopped over
in New York for few hours on Wed
nesday for the purpose of acting as
a mediator between the leaders of
the two republics, with the result, 1t
is believed, that the conclusion OF a
formal treaty between them is a mat.
ter of only short time.
At the Hotel Manhattan Secretary
Taft had long conference with Senior
Enrique Cortes, minister to the United
States from Colombia, and William
Nelson Cromwell, legal adviser to the
government of the republic of Pana-
ma. Though no one else was present
at the conference, it was coincidence
that President Amador of Panama, ar.
rived here on Wednesday en- route to
Europe. After the conference none
of those present would discuss the de.
tails of their conversations.
"All that can be said at this time,
said William Nelson Cromwell, us
that the conference was highly salts
factory to all concerned. This is nc
time to go into details, bul am hap
py to say that as result OF today s
meeting the three countries-the coun'
tries which are most closely connect
ed with the construction of the Pana'
ma canal, the greatest work ever un.
dertaken, and among whom there has
been more or less feeling for several
years-are nearer a perfect under
standing than they have ever been
before"
Secretary Taft and Minister Cortes
were even more reserved than Mr.
Cromwell as to the results of the
conference. Neither would discus
the matter in any way. 1t is believed
however, that within few months a
treaty between Colombia and Panama
will be concluded. which will put al
rest the questions which have been
at issue between the Central Ameri
can countries for more than foul
wears

BERLIN'S GLOOMY VIEW.
Widespread Conviction That Conflict
viii Come.

Berlin.-The conviction of an ulti-
mate conflict between Japan and the
United States appears to be wide
spread in Germany. 1t is one OF the
subjects certain to be referred to
wherever diplomatists and military
naval officials and others accustomed
to follow international politics meet.
The newspapers agree that President
Roosevelt is earnestly trying to salts
fly the Japanese requests. They agree
also that Japan asks nothing unrea'
sonable. They recognize that the diff
ficulty lies in the question of race, the
economic antagonism of the Califor-
mans against the Japanese and the
constitutional impossibility of federal
coercion
1t is believed by many that the
group of ruling statesmen In Japan
are preparing to fight the United
States for the mastery OF the Paci-
fic, regardless of the San Francisco
incidents.
The stragetgists Of the admiralty re.
gard a naval war between Japan apd
the United States as the most interest
ing problem of the day. Careful
studies that have been worked out
are unfavorable to the United States,
because the American fleet, although
of greater power than that OF Japan
would have to seek fight in Japan's
home waters.

Professor Muensterbere Satisfied
With His Trip to Boise.

Boston-In an interview, Professor
Hugo Muensterberg, the Harvard
psychologist, who has been attending
the Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho, for
the purpose of studying the mind of
Harry Orchard, the principal witness,
says that he believes Orchards con-
fession to be thoroughly true.
Besides having every facility for
Investigation of the subject at the
trial." he said, 81 also visited the pen

the results of this test in any popu-

data upon which my conclusions rest. ;"
Professor Muensterberg asserted
that he was very much impressed with
the dignity which characterized the
trial and it was his opinion that abso-

defendant.

GERMANS SEEING THINGS.
Say That Dispatch of American War
Z Vessels to Pacific Coast Would
Result in Attack by Japan.

Berlin.-The reports and denials re
garding American naval movements
are printed conspicuously and COM
mented on by the newspapers here as
indicating the tensity of the relations
between the Unitd States and Japan.
Such demonstration as the dispatch
of the American feet or the greater
part of it to the Pacific would, accord
ing to some of the German critics, re-
suit in Japan attacking any American
vessels caught in the Pacific without
waiting for the concentration Of the
American warships.
