Pittsburg, Dec. 2.-WhiIe 1t is not

Pittsburg it is apparent that relations
are seriously strained.
General Manager w. w. Atterbury

by General Superintendent r. e. Nc

Aside from stating he was here to

talk.
The men asserted that their gen.
eral board has not been given proper
recognition in efforts to settle griev-

that the difference is entirely over a
matter of discipline. Several days

TARIFF PRINCIPAL TOPIC
Subject of Revision VIII Be Foremost
This Winter.

Washington, Dec Although it is
bill, which will be framed by the
house ways and means committee, to
congress until the special session
which President-Elect Taft will call in
March II is evident that the question
of tariff revision will be the principal
one under discussion throughout the
winter.
One Republican member of the COM
mittee declared recently that the COM
mittee would ask congress for power
to subpoena witnesses at supple
mentary hearings. Representative
Champ Clark of the minority went a
step further
''It would be better" he said, 'if
we would be given power to subpoena
witnesses and have them sworn in
and made to answer Questions when
they appear before the committee"
Chairman Payne has not denied
that it is proposed to ask the house
for authority to subpoena those whom
the committee believe could furnish
valuable information.

The source of the Standards crude

asked Mr.. Kellogg.
"Oh, no. He can find other pur-

he could stop production and await
better prices"
Mr. Archbold said that the Standard
would transport any crude oil for in

lines which were common carriers in
conformity with the tariffs filed with
the interstate commerce commission
Mr.. Kellogg asserted that no inde

Mr.. Archbold said that the pipe

METHODS OF THE
HARVESTER TRUST
Witnesses Testify to Manner Of
Buying Up Plants.

the International Harvester company
of America obtained control of sew
eral of its subsidiary plants was told
when the hearing of the custer suit Of
the state of Missouri against the COM
pany was resumed before Theodore
Brace, special commissioner. Vice
President William H. Jones of Fos-
ter, CAL, and j. j. Glesner of Chicago,
of the International Harvester COM
pany of New Jersey, were the wit
nesses.
Mr.. Jones told of visit to New
York in 1902 which he said he made
at the request of Judge Gary of the
United States Steel corporation. Judge
Gary introduced him to George w.
Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., who
requested him to sell plant at Plano,
Ill. When the check of sale was
signed, said Mr.. Jones, all property
involved was turned over to a Mr..
a new company. Mr.. Jones said that
he was willing to sell the Plano plant
because fierce competition had de-
moralized his business and there was
no money in sight for dividend pay
ments. The sale took place July "a,
1902.
When the new company was formed
it mad $12O,000,000 capital, of which
| ss0,000,0OO was in cash and an equal
amount in stock certificates of the
consolidated companies. He said that
the International Harvester company
has paid dividends since 1902 of $21,.
10000 and has a surplus of $4,000.

Declares the Standard Manages to Do

Shapes Its Business in Conformity
With the Laws.
New York, Dec. 4.--When the hear
ing in the government suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil company was
resumed John d. Archbold, vice pres
ident of the company, testified that
the Standard purchased the Pacific
Coast Oil company Of California in
1900 for S761, 900. After that its cap
italization was increased by success

when the name was changed to the
Standard Oil company Of California.
Regarding the Barnsdall loan of ST.

no contract of the loan In the city,
whereupon Mr.. Rosenthal, counsel for
the Standard, said he would telegraph
the escrow holders in Pittsburg to
mail the contract to the master OF the
hearings for inspection.
Mr.. Archbold said that as far as he
knew the Texas Oil company was not
owned or controlled by the Standard.
The Texas company sold some of its
output, the witness said, to the Stand

The government counsel then took
up the question of tariffs on oil in the
various countries and Mr.. Archbold
said the duties in Russia were just
what that country chose to make
them.
"lf they will let our oil in free they
can get their oil in free here. There
is no favoritism among the countries
where crude oil is produced. II France
has a duty against American oil the
same duties apply to other countries" :"
Mr.. Kellogg asked what were the
Standards advantages with regard to
the tariff and Mr.. Archbold replied:
"All this talk of favoritism to the
Standard by the tariff is bosh."

Radical Measures Taken to
Save Pine Bluff, Ark.
RIVER BANK DYNAMITED

Unknown Parties Despite a Warn
ing of the United States Engineer in
That Dissatisfaction Has the De-
sired Effect and Threatened Prop
erty Is Now Safe.
Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 4.-Radical
and determined methods were used
by unknown persons In their efforts
to divert the swift current Of the
Arkansas river from the banks at
Pine Bluff and throughout the night
loud explosions shock the city. Dyna-
mite was freely used in an attempt to
protect threatened property. More
than one hundred yards of the point
of land opposite Pine Bluff known as
Boyds point, including four-room
residence, has disappeared from view
and the river is sweeping past the
city in a wider channel and with less
force to the endangered banks.
News of the plan to use dynamite
had been sent to Captain Parkin, Unit
ed States engineer at Little Rock, and
he sent word to stop it at all hazards.
The government boats were prac-
tically out of commission, however,
owing to the heavy current and could
not get to the scene in the darkness
Sheriff Philpott hurried to the river
front when the explosions came. The
strong current made it impossible tc
cross the river at that time and he
could do nothing to stop operations.
A strong sentiment prevails here
that drastic as was the action in de
flying the government and using dyna
mite to change the current the enc
has justified the action.

Germany, as is we'll known, is a

there not only keep order, but go far
out of their way to make the people
tread the straight and narrow path.
Bicycle regulations. for instance, are
very stringent in German cities. "a

ride by means OF a test under the
eyes of solemn judges, must further

permit, submit to voluminous and com
plicated regulations. To begin with, he
must have a number This number, ac-

who had just obtained his permit. de-
cided that it would be more convenient
for lin to carry his tool box on the
front handlebar. But knowing hat his
number must be affixed under the sad

carefully hung 1T there by means OF a
