Union Men Charged With Assault.
ing Non.U Union Workmen Dis
charged at Hearing
SIMPLE ASSAULT" is SHOWN
Court Commissioners TuIly Declares
That Evidence Would not Warrant
Holding Men on Stronger Charge
Other Arrests May be Made

Louis Kekst, Howard Kekst and
Louis Berkovich, the three union men
who had a preliminary hearing before
Court Commissioner James E. Tul1y
on Saturday on charge of assault
ing William Dorffman with intent to
do great bodily harm to him were all
discharged by the commissioner Just
after five O'Clock Saturday evening.
la discharging the men the Court held
that the evidence as presented by the
state was not sufficient II sustain the
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm and that it simply
showed simple assault. The de-
Cision of the magistrate was hailed as
great victory by the union men and
they left the Court room amidst cheers
from their fellow union men who had
crowded the building for the seven
hours that the hearing had continued.
The end Of the hearing came as a
surprise to the people who had
listened to the evidence. When the
State closed it's case after putting on
as witnesses the three men who had
witnessed the assault on Dorffman the
defense did not put any witnesses on
the stand but argued the case at
length. District Attorney Baker also
made a strong argument asking that
the men be held for trial at the Cir
cult Court. Then came the decision
of the magistrate releasing the men.
AS they had been arrested on the
charge Of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm it would not be
possible to fine them on the charge of
simple assault of which charge the
magistrate held the evidence showed
them guilty.
District Attorney Baker in discus.

what evidence the court could base
his decision
AS to the future action of the state
in the case District Attorney Baker
refuses to make any statement. While
the three men were charged with as
sault to do great bodily harm and re-
leased, they can still be arrested on
the very severe charge of assaulting
a deputy sheriff and this charge
would be one on which a very severe
penalty could be imposed if they were
convicted. The district attorney de-
c1ined to discuss this phase of the
question, but stated that he would
have to take the matter up with Dorff
man before he reached any decision in
regard to a future arrest of the men.
Under the ruling of the examining
magistrate, the evidence presented at
the hearing would have been ample to
hold the men on charge of assault
ing an officer, as proof of simple as
sault would be all that would be
necessary to sustain such charges.

$1.000,000 Yearly Rental
For It.

New York. Sept. 28.-George Cheese
boro. who is controller for many OF
the Standard Oil company's subsidiary

Referee Ferris yesterday that he did
not know who had owned and operated
the pipe line running from Jersey City
across the island of Manhattan through
Central park to the Standard rehneries
In Long Island City since Nov. l, 1905.
At that date the New York Transit
company. one of the Standards sub
sidiary carrying lines, ceased to op-
crate II, and he said no further accounts
OF the business of the pipe line had
come under his observation.
He did not know just when the pipe
was laid or when oil was first pumped
through it. Prosecutor Kellogg showed
him an item in the accounts of the New
York Transit company for the year
1899, expenses New York Pipe line, ST.
200. GOO" That, explained the witness
was the rental for one year paid by
the New York Transit company to the
Standard Oil company of New York.
Prosecutor Kellogg succeeded in trac-
ing the missing transfer and stock
ledgers of the trustees in the liquida-
tion of the Standard Trust of Ohio one
step further. He learned from Charles
T. White, assistant secretary of the
New Jersey holding corporation, that
when he took office on May l. 1900. ir
room 1401 at the Standard Office, be-
ing &c Broadway, the books were in q
safe in that office. About q month
after he became secretary somebody
came and took away the safe, books
and ALL That was the last he had ever
seen or heard of them.
After learning that the profits of the
Southern Pipe Line company for G
specific capitalization, Mr.. Kellogg
questioned Mr.. Cheseboro, who had
been recalled to the stand to give
further figures concerning the work
OF the oil carriers concerning a debit

GEN. GOMEZ IS WARNED
Followers of Three Cuban

Havana, Sept 27.-Pinar del Rio was
excited last night by constant rumors
OF an open outbreak. The followers
of the leaders who We're arrested and
lodged in jail here on Wednesday were
angry. One OF the leaders in the town
of Pinar del Rio is the jail warden.
The American Officers were Informed
late last evening that If an outbreak
occurred this man intended to take to

oners in his charge.

Colonel Parker, upon receipt Of this
information. stationed an armed guard
of American soldiers around the Jail.
This is the most belligerent stand yet
taken by the Americans.
While every one in the province of
Pinar del Rio Is much worried. it is
believed that the arrest OF PARA, Du-
casse, and Miret will serve as a warn
ing. and there will be no instruction.
A special Judge of the Audiencia was
delegated by Governor Magoon to in
vestigate the conspiracy. This may
lead to other arrests.
