FAVOR IS JAILED;
TO BE SENTENCED
WEDNESDAY
JUDGE PHELAN REFUSES FUR
TIER STAY IN CASE OF DETEc-
TIVE CONVICTED OF GRATING
ON ANNIE SMITH.

Edward p. Favor. the former pre-
cinct detective, convicted month ago
of compromising felony by grating
on Annie Smith. is now a prisoner in
the county Jail and Will probably be
sentenced Wednesday. The 80 days
stay Of proceedings granted by Judge
Phelan at the time of Favor's conyic-
ton, to enable his attorneys TO move
for new trial, expired Monday morn
ing. Favor was on hand with his at
torneys, Murtha and Mistersky, TO ask
for further time. but Judge Phelan
frowned on the request. declaring that
counsel had made no showing TO war
rant him In doing SO.
The request was based on the
ground that Favor had been III since
his conviction and that counsel had
had no opportunity to discuss the
case with him. The court, however.
saw no reason for further delay and
ordered the defendants bond cancel
ed. Favor was taken to Jail at once
and soon after being locked up he sent
for his wife
Sentence was deferred because the
Judge Connollys court, and Judge
Phelan, while he had the legal right
to pronounce judgment at once, did
not wish to take any action that under
the circumstances. might be construed
In some quarters as play to the
grandstand. II the Newberry trial Is
not completed by Wednesday sentence

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-John ID.
Rockefeller created sensation at hts
cross-examination before Referee Fer
riss In the customs house today when
he fatty contradicted testimony which
his righthand man, John ID. Archbold
gave before the Hepburn committee
many years ago.
Mr.. Rockefeller was led by Frank
b. Kellogg into admitting that the
Acme Oil company was controlled by
the Standard Oil company. After he
had made this admission Mr.. Kellogg
read to him testimony given by Mr..
Archbold In 1879 In which he said
that the Acme Oil company had never
been affiliated with the Standard Oil
company.
When this testimony was read there
was a stir In the courtroom Attor-
reys John G. Milburn and Moritz
Rosenthal. representing Mr. Rookie
Teller, began making vigorous objec-
tons. Notwithstanding their objec-
tons Mr.. Kellogg insisted that M.
Rockefeller tell him whether he re-
called the testimony given by Mr..
Archbold He lodged direct reply
and then said that while the Acme OIL
company might not have been owned
by the Standard Oil company 1t was
nevertheless controlled by the direc-
tors OF the oil trust.
Mr.. Kellogg then tried to nail Mr..
Rockefeller down to admitting that the
Acme OIL company was bought by the
Standard Oil company. He managed
to get an admission that the STANDARD
OIL interests" bought the Acme OIL
company.
Mr.. Kellogg brought out the fact
that up To- 1872 three directors OF the
Lake Shore railroad, the president or
the New York Contra. railroad, the
president OF the Erie, and shortly after
1872 all OF the stockholders OF the
South Improvement company except
three were either official or local
stockholders In the Standard OH rom
pany.
Counsel for Mr.. Rockefeller gave
out this statement today regarding the
probable prosecution OF Standard Oil
oficials:
Since 1890 and up to 1907 immun.
ity laws have been enacted In con-
nection with the interstate commerce
act. They provide generally and un-
der the latest changes, that when =
witness IS sworn and testified he Is
entitled to immunity. Whether de-
PENDANT who has been subpOenaed by
a co-defendant and testiiles Is entitled
to immunity has never been decided
and when called by codefendant
and he gives testimony to certain facts
on direct examination and is cross
examined by the government beyond
the scope Of direct examination, has
also not been decided What the
courts may ultimately say Is profile
NAUTICAL as both questions are present
In this case"
