CAN REVEAL OIL SECRETS
Subpoena Issued for a. n. Brady in
Standard Inquiry.
Government Attorney Thinks He Can
Throw More Light on the
Manhattan Deal.

New York. Oct. IA subpoena was
issued to-day by Frank Kellogg. the gov
ernment attorney in the Standard Oil
Inquiry, for Anthony n. Brady. who is
wanted TO testify to certain business
transactions involving the purchase by
the Standard Of the Manhattan OIL Com
pany, OF Ohio, In 1885.
At a previous hearing. Mr.. Brady tes-
tified that. when the General Industrial
Development Syndicate. Of London. ap-
preached the owners OF the Manhattan
concern, then an independent company.
with an offer to buy, he arranged the
transaction for the stockholders. The
terms of sale carried with it a ten-year
contract, held by the Manhattan COM
pany, to furnish oil to the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company. Of Chicago.
Some time after the c0nsummation of
the deal, the Manhattan's plant was dis
mantled, its cars were sold, and its busi-
ness was suspended. Then, for the first
time, Brady testified, ne knew that the
real purchaser was the Standard Oil
Company.
At to-day's session Of the inquiry, John
\. Wallace, president Of the Central
Trust Company. testified that the English
syndicate did not buy all Of the stock OF
the American company, but that the Cen
trail Trust Company bought 1854 shares,
at Sl00 a share, with money advanced by
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Com
pany.
Mr. Kellogg was led to suspect by Mr..
Wallace's testimony that the loans made
TO a London financier by the Standard
company may be explained by this trans
action

KNAPP 4 REAL HUMORIST.
His Address to State Railway Com
missiOners "Excruciating."

ElAHHlOmeTs 'EACFuClHIIDE.
Humor has never been suspected Of
haunting the habitat of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. That is a very
serious body, indeed 1t takes itself seri-
ously and by dint Of many years Of
painstaking efforts in this direction It is
coming TO be so regarded. To-day. says
the New York sun. no one would lightly
impute any humorous intention to any
Of its members, least Of all its chairman.
the Hon. Martin A. Knapp, in whom all
the solemnity and seriousness is personi-
fed.
Nevertheless Mr.. Knapp seems to be
a humorist of a rare and subtle kind. He
addressed the annual convention of State
railway commissioners at some length.
and as near as his hearers could deter
mine the drift Of his remarks, he seemed
TO be suggesting from the snug security
Of his Federal berth that they ought
really to give way TO the honorable body
which he represented, so that there
should be no distressing conflict Of turfs-
dictions. Think Of insinuating this to a
hundred or 50 comfortable political place
holders. No wonder the dispatches tell
us that Mr.. Knapps auditors shifted
their feet uneasily'' as the purport of his
utterance began 10 appear. Mr.. Knapp's
humorous gift seems 10 be not only rare
and subtle, but of a particularly excru-
ciating sort.

No one could have been more pleasant,

But his groundgaining ability is not

The Cornell line, which has shown both
speed and force, has gone back some
what and the coaches are worried. The

Brinton, guard, was especially disap-
pointing. The coaches are piling hard

EARTHQUAKE NOT LOCATED.

What was apparently an after-shock Of
the great disturbance Of Wednesday
morning, was recorded yesterday morn
ing shortly after 6 o'clock. and this
clears up one Of the peculiarities Of the
disturbance,-the absence of an after
shock, or shock, which is usual in all
such cases. Scientists all over the world
are interested, ana they are on the qui

the disturbance. Many Of them are
watching for an indication of renewed
volcanic action, either in the West Indies
or on the western coast of the two
Americas From the absence Of any in
dicatlon Of such volcanic action it is be-
neved the disturbance was caused bv a
fault or slip as was the san Francisco

Efforts of Seven Years Are Crowned
with Success and High Esteem.

Glaze Bay. Cape Breton, Oct 1.-THE
Marcont wireless station here flashed this
morning 10 the station at CIifden. on the
coast OF Ireland. a message from Sir VIII
frid Laurier. Premier Of Canada, congrat-
ulating the English people upon the in
auguraton of transatlantic communica-

Inc message was addressed to the Lon
don Standard. and was relayed from the
Irish coast to the British metropolis on
the inland telegraph lines. After the
transmission Of the first eastward mes
sage, Englands dispatch to Canada was
received. and the station was declared
formally open.
Great Interest Displayed.
London, Oct 17.-Several Of the news
papers to-day received dispatches from
the Marconi station at Glaoe Bay, y. S,
and many persons sent cOngratulatory
messages to Marconi including the lord
mayor OF London, Sir J. C. Bell. the
duke Of Argyll, and the Canadian high
commissioner. Lord Strathcona, and
Mount Royal
Great prominence is given by the pa
pers to the Inauguration Of transatlantic
Aerography. Most of the papers print
special aerograms, and treat the. event
as the inception Of a new era of inter
national communication. Marconi's staff
IN London spent a busy day answering
Inquiries and giving interviews. The Cliff
den station was decorated with flags OF
all nations, but few witnessed the display
or disturbed the operators, the station
being IN the middle of a desOlate bog in
the wild west OF Ireland

lished wireless communication between
