TILFORD IS UP
Standard Oil Treasurer Made to Answer a Few Pertinent
 Questions To-Day
WANTMOREWITNESSES

New York, Sept. 19.-Wesley H. Tilford, treasurer of the Standard Oil company, was questioned to-day by Frank B. Kellogg, who is conduct ing the federal suit against the oil combines, in an effort to glean fur ther facts and figures concerning the development of the Standard Oil trust and it's subsequent liquidation into the present Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey. MT Kellogg said that the records of the liquidat- ing trustees, which had been finally furnished by the Standard company, were being examined by the govern ment's counsel and that it might be several days before the information desired could be adduced in court. MT Kellogg intimated that further witnesses might be subpoenaed as a result of the developments of the last two days and that the hearings would likely be prolonged for some time.
 Mir Tilford was shown a copy of the trust agreement of 1882, show ing a list of companies that entered into the trust.
 ''It appears that the Chess Carley company signed that agreement. Have you thought about that since I spoke to you last night?" asked MT Kellogg.
 No, I have not" replied MT Til ford, who yesterday testified that he had been a member of the Chess Carley company of Louisville, before he became identified with the Stand ard Oil company. MT Tilford was asked who the stockholders of the Chess Carley company were when it signed the trust agreement. He re- piled that the stockholders were r. D. Carley, and the Standard Oil con- pany of Ohio.
 Evidence was adduced to-day at the hearing on the Standard Oil com pany, which tended to prove that the company was operating in Texas un- der the name of the Corsicana Refin- ing company The Texas antitrust law prohibits the Standard Oil from doing business in that state.

 Newfoundland.

St Johns N. E., Sept. 19.-Ihe United States revenue cutter G!es- ham which has been detailed to New foundland to look after the interests of the American fishermen in those waters during the season which opens October 1, sailed from here to- day for Bay of Islands, the center of the fishing operations.
 : The Gresham had on board when she sailed to-day Commissioner Alexander who has been sent here by the United States to gather data on the fisheries situation.
 It is believed here at the present time that the coming season will not be marked by any acrimonious incl dents such as have come up in past seasons. The American fishermen anticipate little difficulty in manning their vessels with Newfoundland fishermen, as the natives are satis- fled with both conditions and wages which are generally better than they could secure elsewhere.

ITS 37 YEARS
Italians Will To.MorrOW Cele- brate the Fall of Temporal
 Power of the Pope
MAY BE TROUBLE

Rome, Sept. 19.-Anixety is felt at the vatican as to the outcome of the demonstrations tomorrow over the thirty-seventh anniversary of the fall of the temporal power of the papacy and the capture of Rome by the 1tal- ians. Every year processions and de- monstrations are indulged in but on this occasion the event has taken a decidedly anti-clerical turn, under the inspiration of the extreme parties which has added to the ill-feeling al- ready existing. In the vatican it is feared that it may lead to serious complications. K
 The general feeling in vatican circles is that the whole revival of anti-clericalism, is due to the direct influence of the French enemies of the papacy, working especially through Free Masonry and doing all in their. power to start in the Italian peninsula an agitation against the church similar to that in France. Hints are even made that consider able sums of money have been con tributed for this purpose. To-mor- row will be the test day.
 Roman citizens in general depre- cate such campaign and believe that the extraordinary precautions of the government will obviate any serious trouble.
 In private audiences to-day Pope Plus made direct allusions to to-mor- row saying:
 q hope that the good sense of the Italian people will prevent them from falling, into such trap and that they will remember that we are all Italians"
 The demonstrations for the anni- versary of September 20 will occur throughout the peninsula but will naturally be more extensive in Rome.
