OIL TRUST BOOKS MISSING
Supposed to Show Stock Transactions
of Octor IS.

New York, Sept. 1.-Two books
which it is supposed show the stock
transactions by which the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey took over
the control of nineteen other oil COM
panies, formerly allied with the Stand
found. They are wanted by Frank B.
Kellogg, the governments counsel in
the proceedings against the Standard
Oil company. They are the ledger
and stock book kept by John N. Ben
singer, the transfer clerk in the en-
ploy of the company's liquidating trus-
tees between 1892 and 1899, when the
reorganization was effected.
Mr. Kellogg hopes by the books to
prove that the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey is really a reorganiza-
ton of the company which was dis
solved by the government fifteen years
ago for alleged restraint of trade. Ben
singer has testified that he left the
books in the vaults of the Standard
Oil building at No. 26 Broadway in
1900. when his services as transfer
clerk were no longer required, but
John G. Milburn, of counsel for the
company, who offered to search the
transfer department of the Standard
Oil company for Mr. Kellogg, could
not find them. Nor could Wesley H.
Tilford, treasurer; Charles M. Pratt,
secretary, and William G. Rockefeller.
assistant treasurer of the company,
enlighten Mr.. Kellogg as to their
whereabouts

SURPRISING DISCOVERY.
Atmosphere at Attitudes Coolest Above
the Equator.

the Equator.
Dresden, Saxony, Sept. ! AT the
meeting of the congress of German
scientists the remarkable statement
was made by Professor Hergesell of
Strasburg university that atmosphere
at attitudes is the coolest over the
equator and the warmest above the
poles. This surprising fact, he ex.
planned, was determined by balloon
ascents made during the month of
July in various latitudes under the
auspices Of the international commit
Tee which has been Investigating the
atmosphere at high attitudes. The
observations, which were taken with
automatic instruments attached to un,
manned balloons, have not yet been
worked out in detail, but Professor
Hergesell finds his conclusions album
dainty proved through the data thus
collected. Balloons which reached al
titdudes of eleven to twelve and half
miles in the tropics were found to
have. registered about 14S degrees be-
low zero, Fahrenheit. while in the lati.
tude of Central Europe the tempera.
ture was only 76 to IS below zero at
the heights Indicated Another fact
established. by these balloon ascents
is that the greatest cold of the upper
atmosphere is reached at heights
from six to six and three.quarter
miles, varying somewhat in different
parts of the world. Above that height,
contrary to the assumption of scien.
lists hitherto, the air actually grows
warmer. This warmer strata of air is
deduced to be highest at the equator
and lowest at the poles, where it is
estimated to begin at about four and
One-third miles.

AL TON ROAD ESCAPES
Judge Lands Finally Accepts
the Immunity Plea.
M0FFETT MUST MAKE GOOD

President Of Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana Ordered to Appear Before
Grand Jury and Explain His Charge
Of Relating by Others.
Chicago, Sept. 1t was decided
by Judge Lands in the United States
district court that the Chicago and
Alton railway shall not be further
prosecuted for It's connection with
the Standard Oil company in the
granting Of rebates between Whiting,
Ind, and East st. Louis, Ill.
It was claimed by Attorney General
Bonaparte, whose letter was read to
the court by District Attorney Sims,
that Mr.. Morrison, the predecessor of
Mr.. Sims in Office, had promised i'm
munity to the Alton road provided it
assisted in good faith in the prosecu-
ton of the Standard Oil company.
The attorney general therefore
claimed that it was the duty of the
government to see that no further
steps toward the punishment of the
railroad for it's part in the granting
of the rebates be taken. The attorney
general asked that the grand jury
which had been summoned at the in.
stance of Judge Lands to investigate
the Alton railroad be discharged and
that the matter be allowed to drop as
far as the Chicago and Alton was
concerned.
Judge Lands, in a statement which
required fully thirty minutes for its
delivery, declined to discharge the
jury, but instructed it's members that
they had no further duty to perform
IN connection with the Chicago and
Alton railroad. The court then called
attention to a statement recently is-
sued by President Moffett of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana in
which it was claimed that if the
Standard Oil company was guilty of
receiving rebates no other manufac-
turer was innocent. The court direct
ed the jury to investigate the conduct
of other manufacturers and directed
that subpoena be issued for Pres
ident Moffett.

Allentown, Pa, Sept. Following
ban which has been placed upon
them from the pulpit of the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, under
which the girls Of the parish have
been forbidden to entertain them, stu
dents of Lehigh university held big
meeting on the campus and discussed
the situation with much fervOr. Rev.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. The
influx of Chinese here is serious
matter. One section of the press Is

The resolution is aimed at the Chi

BID ON FIVE pEsTRoYERs.
Builders Estimates Opened at Navy
Department

Bids were opened at the Navy Depart
ment the other day for the construction
of FIVE torpedo-boat destroyers under the
terms of the naval appropriation acts Of
1905 and 1907. Provision was made in
the first act fer three of these boats, but
because of the insufficient appropriation
their construction was delayed until Con-
gress at the following session had an OPP
portunity to correct the deficiency and to
add two to the number OF boats. The
limit of cost was fixed at SS00,GO0 for
each vessel, and no bidder was authorized
to receive contracts for more than two
OF them. The new destroyers will not en-
body in their designs any startling de-
partures in naval construction. In one
sense the designs seem reactionary, for the
maximum speed required is twenty eight
knots an hour, whereas some of the boats
constructed several years ago were obliged
to show trial speed of more than thirty
knots. But the twenty-eight-knot vessels
are expected to be much more serviceable
than the early types, as they represent
several years experience in the hardest
torpedo-boat drills The little fotillas
have made worlds records in long-distance
voyages, and their commanders invariably
have reported in favor of structural
strength, stability and coal endurance as
against high speed.
