(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov "a. In the
closing testimony today in the fed
eral suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
company, John D. Rockefeller threw
unexpected light on the popular ques-
ton of into what channels of invest
ment flowed his tremendous earnings
from the oil organization. Rookie
feller was loath to state the names of
the railroads in which his invest
ments were made, but did SO after
entering an objection. The head of
the so-called oil trust declared his
holdings in railroads were consisted
chiefly of bonds, and that with the
exception of a few roads in which he
only held small amount of stock,
he preferred bonds as form of in
vestment. John D.. Archbold, the
vice president of the Standard, prov
ed a mine of detailed information
under direction of the company's
counsel regarding its early produc-
ton of crude oil and the develop
ment of its pipe line systems.

A HEAVY
PENALTY
FOR JAPS
& Ss -. 4-3

SEATTLE (Wash.), Nov "a
Word has been received here that a
fine of $35,400 and the costs of the
case, which will run into the thou
sands, was imposed by Judge Reid
upon the Japanese seal poachers re-
Gently convicted of killing fur seals
at Pribylov, Alaska. There are fifty
nine Japanese in each of the two
crews seized and the fine was $500
for each man found guilty. In de-
fault of payment the men must serve
800 days in Jail at Valdez.
The convicted crew of the Kinzai
Maru has given notice of appeal. This
is the first conviction in the history
of Alaska where pelagic poachers
have been arrested and there has
been conviction. The vessels OF
the United States government have
seized alleged Japanese poachers
twice, but no convictions were sc
cured.
Some of the men seized in the last
raid had been prisoners on other
vessels, and through secret service
men employed by the government as
guards at Valdez, it was found they
looked upon the arrest as temper
airy embarrassment The supposed
guards understood the Japanese
language, and they overheard the
conversation of the imprisoned men.
The seizure of the japanese vessels
occurred early in August. One OF
them was fitted up to appear like a
revenue cutter. While heavy fog
was on in Behring sea the cutters
approached the island and, although
the Japanese tried to tow their yes
sells out with small boats, they were
seized, as were also the seals and the
pelts taken.

The horse had been secured at the

1t became frightened at an automobile
which passed 1t at First street and
Linden avenue. Fearing that the horse
would get scared at the big car Miss
Fearis pulled her mount over close to
the curbing. The driver of the car.
however, also turned that way and
came within few feet of the animal.
The horse reared and Miss Fearis
fell out of her saddle. The horse fell
backward upon the curbing and rolled
on her. 1t then clambered quickly to
its feet.
The driver of the automobile stopped
his car and with the assistance of G.

Bruce home, near the scene of the ac-
cident. She was unconscious and re-
manned so for some time. DR.. r. *.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 1b.-Testi-
mony given by j. Cal Ewing, former

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, June Is. - Charles
Grimes of 81 Mary street, who came
back from Arizona yesterday morning,
refuses to admit that E. S. Duncanson
of Chino betrayed his confidence by
subjecting Grimes ward, Laura Fry.
to cruel treatment. They've got to
show me where that man hasn't treat
ed her right" said Grimes. i've seen
them together and they were just as
fond of each other as any father and
child"
Grimes showed some anger over the
statements of Detective w. H. Baldwin
and others that he ought to be prose-
cuted for not properly exercising his
duties as a guardian and intimated
that there was ground for a suit on
his side also.
1t transpires that not more than
month ago Duncanson came down here
and again pleaded with Grimes to be
allowed to adopt Laura Fry, whom
Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino had
refused to give him the custody of a
year or more ago. Duncanson said that
his enemies had succeeded in alien
ating the little boy whom he had had
on his farm, but that he and his wife
would be heartbroken If the necessity
of letting her go should arise. He
therefore wanted to assume her legal
guardianship. Grimes did not give any
decision at the time.
Grimes had every reason to think
that Laura's situation was admirable
and no suspicion that things were 9TH
erwise and said: About a week
ago, just as I was getting ready to
leave for Arizona, Mrs. Toms.
the girls grandmother, came to me
greatly excited with the story printed
in The Los Angeles Herald"
Immediately Grimes sent Officer Nc
Aney of the Humane society to Chino
to make an investigation at his eX-
pense, and he now says: "He assured
me that the child had not been mis-
treated; that she was well provided
for. was given a good room and bed,
and he could discover no evidence of
abuse. If there is anything back of
this which he did not find out it will
certainly come out at Duncanson's
trial, and I would advise every one
not to be too hasty in their judgment
because of newspaper reports"
