BUILDED BETTER
 THAN THEY KNEW
The Oil Trust a Bigger Thing Than
 Its Promoter Hoped For.

New York, Nov. 25.-Detailed in- formation of the magnitude and di- versity of the Standard Oil cOmpany's business was given by John b Arch bold, vice president of the company, on the resumption of his testimony today in the hearing of the federal suit to dissolve the oil combination.
 Archbold said it was the Standard which, by eliminating the jobbers and retailers, stepped in and greatly re- duced the price of oil to the con sumner. The hearings were adjourned today after a brief session until next Monday.
 That even those closely identified with the Standard in its early days did not recognize its future possi bilities was brought out today when Archbold said that in the eighties fears were widespread that the sup ply of crude oil would be depleted and that he accordingly parted with some of his shares at 70 and 80 cents on the dollar.

QUELL|NG R|OTOUs STRIKERS
Six Were Shot Down Yester- day by Deputies and Two Were Mortally Wounded. Officers Claim They Shot In Self Defense

Perth Amboy, N. J., Nov. 25.-Fol- lowing a pitched battle between roo strikers and twelve deputies today at the factory of the National Fire Proof ing company at Keasbey, and the news here that six of the strikers were shot down. Governor J. Franklin Fort dis patched four companies of the state national guard at Trenton to the scene and tonight the streets are patroIled by 250 soldiers.
 Intense excitement prevails as the strikers declare the deputy sheriffs were not justified in firing upon them. Two of the wounded men are dying in the hospital. The citizens fear for the morrow when a renewal of the at tack on the place of the National Fire ProOfing company is threatened.
 For two days there has been rioting at Keasbey and a number of manu- featuring towns along the Raritan river. The men employed by the Rari- tan River Clay company went on strike two weeks ago for higher wages. They marched to the plant of the Perth Am boy Fire Brick company and induced the men there to go out. Today all the foreigners were armed with heavy irons, pipe, pitchforks. clubs, stones and some of them showed revOlvers. Chief of Police Burke was in charge of the deputies stationed in the office of the company
 There was a bombardment of stones and Chief Burke says two of his men are slightly injured. According to the chief the strikers swarmed to the door and many of them climbed the fence surrounding the building. The depu- ties were compelled to open fire to pro tect themselves. Chief Burke is au- thority for the statement that there were only two revolvers in the pos session of the deputies. This is dis puted by the strikers. At least dozen shots were fired point blank at the strikers and six men fell

phere of their home. He described the marriage as catastrophe which had resulted in the quasi abandon ment of the children.
 The princess reputation after she fell under the influence of de Sagan was assailed in scathing terms by Count Boni's counsel. He described her conduct with the Prince de Sa- gan on both sides of the Atlantic and spoke of the world wide scandal which he declared it had caused. NJ. Bonnet offered to bring proof of many of the incidents to which he referred.
 In all, there are thirty-nine differ ent counts in the indictment and such an array of scandal has seldom been witnessed even in a French court The spectators laughed uproariously at the statement that Prince Helie was anxious to seek a monastery and their laughter was even augmented at times as M. Bonnet dramatically enacted some of the scenes.
 It is evident from the days pro- ceedings that NJ. Bonnet has had de- tectives constantly on the track of the former wife of his client De Sagan's counsel, Clemenceau, is ex- pected to retaliate next week by laying bare Count Bonfs record.

A ROAST OF ANNA GOULD
In Course of a Suit for Gus tody of Castellane Children There Was an Array of Scandal Which Surprised Even the French.

Paris. Nov. 25.-The first days proceedings in the suit of Count Boni de Castellane against his former wife, who was Miss Anna Gould or New York and is now the wife of Prince Helie de Sagan, for the custody of his three children, were marked by a strong denunciation of the prince and princess by Nj. Bonnet, who repre- sented the Count de Castellane. The court room was crowded. There were more Americans and English present than French.
 Prince Helie and the count glared at one another for four hours while M. Bonnet pleaded that the custody of the children be confided to their grandmother, Marquis de Castellane, because the marriage of Mime. Gould to the prince had polluted the atmos-

been overcome by dread of the ordeal of the cross examination of which she had a foretaste on Tuesday evening.
 When she took the stand again, the district attorney began 'where he left off the night before. questioning the witness about the circumstances inn mediately preceding the shooting They were related without change and then she was asked if she had not told Deputies Adams and Davis that night that when the defendant inter fered with her husband while he was beating her, Button had said to him that if he butted in he would give him some of the same She denied that but said that she told the deputies that her husband had threatened to kill Pearce if he interfered and that he then attacked him.
 The territory then sought infOrma tion about the pistol which Mrs. But ton said she found under the sofa the next morning Did you put that gun there?" the district attorney asked. She denied that she had done so and denied in reply to another question that the gun belonged to her.
 The Collapse of Mrs. Button.
 The examination for moment was switched to the buggy ride to Tempe on September g and the witness said that nothing improper had occurred there. The witness's state of mind to- ward her husband was inquired into. The district attorney asked her re- garding her coldness toward him as he lay on the floor dying. She replied that she did not know what to do.
 Judge Baker sought at this stage to show that the witness had very good ground for resentment against her husband alive or dead, after his long course of brutality toward her but any statements as to that brutality were kept from the jury by the objections of the prosecution. the district attor- ney deploring this move to blacken the character of man who was dead and defenseless.
 At this point the witness showed deep feeling and broke into sobs. Later after leaving the stand she suffered a nervous collapse and spent the rest of the day lying down in one of the jury rooms.
 Miss Florence Brewster testified as to the buggy ride to Tempe and said that there had been no improper con- duct on that occasion. She also spoke of her acquaintance of long standing with the defendant, of her introduction

 WHIPS ABE ATTELI
Lightweight Champion Found More
 Than His Match in Freddie Welsh.

Los Angeles, Nov 25.-Abe AtteIl. the fast and undefeated featherweight champion of the world. met more than his match tonight in Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight cham pion. The fight was for fifteen rounds and went the limit, Welsh getting the decision. Welsh showed himself to be a wonderfully clever man. His boxing was superb, his footwork marvellous. his generalship unequalled and his defense tactics absolutely perfect
 Attell had never a chance from the beginning of the fight to the finish. He lacked confidence, his blows lack ed vigOr and his generalship was not what has been known in him heretofore. The fight took place in the Jeffries arena. Rain dripped through the canvas roof.

.PEARCE'SFATE
 ON A PIVOT The Jury Retired With It Just
 Before Midnight 4 LONG DREARY SESSION Enlivened at the Latter End by the Vigorous Argu- ments for and Against the Life or Liberty of the Defendant.
4 LONG DREARY SESSION

Not long before midnight the jury filed out of the box for the last time with the fate of Jesse R. Pearce in its hands and the three days trial of the defendant for the murder of Ossian M. Button was at an end It had been a long and wearisome day for the jury, listening to the story of the tragedy told over and over again.
 There was little hope. when the jury retired, that verdict would be returned soon, however easy it might be to find one. The jury needed rest and sleep and there were Opportun ities for a wide difference of opinion in the five forms submitted. At half past twelve o'clock Judge Kent, who waited about the court room for a short time in the foriorn hope that a verdict might ,De found quickly went home and the jury retired to rest for the night.
 It had been the wish of the court and all concerned that the end might come before Thanksgiving, but the last day things moved slowly. ~ The case went to the jury after perhaps the warmest Oratorical bat tie between Judge Baker for the de- fense and District Attorney Bullard ever fought in the court room and in the presence of the largest au- dience.
 Tre Last Day.
 After a little skirmishing in the morning the trial settled about the one issue the theory of self defense and never wandered from that to the end of the trial All collateral matters were laid aside The only questions to be settled were whether the circum- stances at the time of the killing were such as to lead the defendant to be- lieve that his life was in danger and whether Button was armed
 In the closing hours the prosecution brought in a great deal of testimony of which the defense had not been in- formed and which made the case look rather darker for the defendant. The testimony tended to show that Button could not have had a weapon at the time he was killed and if that fact could be established to the satisfac- tion of the jury. not only would a sin gle prop of the self defense theory be removed but the whole structure was likely to be shaken by proof of a plot in the finding of a revolver in the room the next morning after the killing.
 When the case was called in the morning Mrs. Button who was on cross examination when an adjourn ment had been taken the night before, did not appear and no word had been received from her. An attachment was issued and when the officer went to serve it he found her at home. Her excuse for not coming was the illness of one of her children, though the of ficer said that when he went to the house he found both of them playing in the yard
 When she was brought into court, Judge Kent told her that the excuse she had offered was insufficient and he imposed a fine. of s5. The general supposition was that Mrs. Button had
