The salon. in the historical sense of the

form a homogeneous unity.
The salons are sometimes dwelt upon

not only from the restraints of conven-
tionality, but from any standard of mo-
rality as well, carried freedom OF speech

FEARS FOR EMPEROR
CONDITION OF AGED FRANCIS
JOSEPH PRovoKEs CONCERN.

VIENNA, October 1O.-Emperor Francis
Joseph slept quietly last night only one
valet sitting UP in the room adjoining his
bedchamber This morning his condition
showed a slight improvement. but there
was still considerable fever and some
signs of apathy.
1t cannot any longer be concealed tina,
the emperor is seriously ILL He is now
suffering from bronchitis, accompanied by
fever. The symptoms OF Inflammation
through the back are growing, and oc-
casonally nervous spells occur. The doc
tors however. place confidence in the
strong constitution of the aged patient.
The emperor d1sikes to admit being i'll,
and causes the doctors much trouble by
opposing their directions.
His wonderful devotion to duty excites
the admiration Of the entire court This
morning he rose at 4:aO. az has been his
custom for many years. and began work
Immediately. He read and signed docu-
ments and personally received the reports
Of court officials. The doctors in attend
ance begged him to return to bed and take
longer rest but he stubbornly refused
to do So and seated himself in a chair.
where he appeared to rest comfortably in
spite of the fact that he continued to suf-
fer from fever
Later the Hungarian premier Dr. Week
erie. was admitted to the emperor's pres
ence, but when the latter began talking a
fit Of coughing occurred. and he was
obliged to abruptly terminate the inter-
view.
When receiving the court officials earlier
in the day the emperor. on account OF
hoarseness. talked as little as possible.
The approaching visit Of King Alphonso
Of Spain and Queen Victoria to Vienna is
causing much embarrassment to the Aus
TRAN emperor. who will be unable to par
ttclpate in the banquet court ball, or
other festivities arranged in their honor.
even II he is able to receive them in his
bed room at Schoenbrunn Castle. II is
even possible that the emperor's illness
may cause a postponement of the visit
There is much uneasiness over the con-
dition of the emperor.
Francis Joseph's illness is regarded Sc
rious at the present moment. and. on ac-
count Of his great age-he was seventy
seven years old In August-there Is a
great deal Of apprehension. The emperor
is at Schonbrunn Castle. suffering from
what is described as hronch?a. catarrh
The emperor's condition became worse
after the strain OF the long audiences ac-
corded Tuesday to the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and the Hungarian interior
minister. Count Andressy. DR.. Wekerle

the emperor yesterday in view of the
opening of parliament today. and the

sey found George Chesebro, auditor for
the Standards subsidiary pipe lines. again
on the witness stand to Identify balance
sheets and transcripts from records OF
the pipe line companies. The placing in
evidence Of the compilations showing
gross earnings. cost OF plants and other
accounts Of the companies required some
time.
Frank B. Kellogg. the government
counsel. said that he might call William
@. Rockefeller. treasurer Of the Standard
Oil Company Of New York to the stand
to give informa ton concerning the loans
Of over S32.00O.0O0 made last year. and
described by the company as loaned to
interests other than Standard OIL"
Again Mr.. Chesebro had been excused P.
S. Trainor. to whom the pipe lines loaned

he had been the crude oil purchasing
agent OF the Standard OH Company of
New Jersey since August. 1905, and be-
fore that acted as purchasing agent Of
the Standard OIL Company Of New York.
So Careless About Millions.
Mr.. Kellogg showed to the witness bal
ance sheets of the Southern Pipe Line
Company having items charged to him
under the head Of expenses from 1900 to
1905 varying from $500 600 to 1880 0OO
year. Mr.. Kellogg asked what the
that he did not know: that he never
heard that these accounts were charged to
him. and that he never gave voucher for
them. He had an OIL account with the
Southern company, but no money account.
He said he purchased oil for the Standard
and sold it to the refineries. The South
arn Pipe Line Company purchased oil of
the Eureka Pipe Line Company in the
southeast field. and pumped it to Phila-
delphia. selling 1t to the Atlantic Refining
Company.
In this interchange of accounts he said
some transactions might have been
charged to him, but he had never heard
of them.
Fixed Oil Prices.
Mr.. T-ainor said that he fixed the price
of crude OIL in the east by notifying the
Joseph Seep agency. in Oil City. what
he was prepared to bid for crude oil. He
said he purchased the credit balances of
the oil producers at the tanks and then
sold the oil to the refineries. He added
20 cents to the market price at the wells
as carrying charge and a small addi-
tional charge for buying. He sometimes
paid out as much as $4,000 900 a year
M. Trsinor said he talked daily with
John D. Archbold, vice president of the
Standard about the price for crude Oil.
and that afterward he announced the
price. No one else was consulted re-
garding the price.
