OIL KING EXCUSED
John D. Rockefeller Completes
His Testimony.
GLAD THE ORDEAL IS OVER
Vice President ArchbOId Then
Takes the Stand.

New York, Nov. 25.-Closing his tes-
timony in the federal suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil company, John D.
Rockefeller threw some unexpected
light on the popular question of into
what channels of investment he
turned his tremendous earnings from
the oil combination. Mr.. Rockefeller
was loath to state the names of the
railroads III which his investments
were made, but did so after entering
his objections. The head of the So
called oil trust declared that his hold
ings in railroads consisted chiefly in
bonds and that, with the exception of
q few roads in which he held only
small amounts of stocks, he prefer
red the bonds as form of invest
ment. Mr.. Rockefeller's appearance
on the witness stand here will likely
be his last in any court proceeding.
He appeared greatly delighted that
his long ordeal as witness was over
and hurriedly left the room when
counsel excused him.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that he did not
think that he should be made to tell
the form of his investments, declaring
"that the gentlemen over there in
the stock exchange might not think it
very wise" After some legal conten-
tion by counsel, Mr. Rockefeller said
he held stock in the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western. the New York
Central, the Pennsylvania, the West
ern Maryland, the Missouri Pacific,
the Texas Pacific and the Colorado
Southern. He said he owned no
shares In either the Union or the
Southern Pacific. Mr.. Rockefeller
said he was opposed to the keeping
of millions of dollars of surplus by
the Standard.
John D. Archbold, vice president of
the Standard, proved mine of de-
tailed information, under the direc-
tion of the company's counsel, regard
ing the early production of crude oil
and the development of the pipe line
system. Mr.. Archbold likely will be
On the witness stand for several days.
He gave his answers in short, brisk
and seemed possessed of in
finite details of the Standards busi-
ness from it's inception to the present
:ime
Mr.. Archbold beamed with satisfac-
ion in telling of the Standards early
history. His clear blue eyes twinkled |
when he told of his Industrial fights. |

CHANCE OF RECOVERY
Grove Lake (Minn.) Merchant Shot by
Bandit.

M. c. Whitney, a Grove Lake
(Stearns county, merchant, was held
up in his store by a masked man,
who shot at him seven times, two of
the shots taking effect.
Whitney lies in precarious condi-
tion at his home and has slim chance
of recovering. Mr.. Whitney was about
to close his store for the night when
the man rode up on horseback, dis
mounted, tied his horse and entered
the store. Without speaking he fired
at Mr.. Whitney.
1t is believed that he intended to
rob the store, but lost his nerve. Mr..
Whitney is well known in Stearns
county, where he made his home
many years and where he has held
several county Offices.

, would be led to believe from either
his earlier utterances or the eXpla-
nations given for him By the re
form" organ.
The Sheriff not only knew Isoi, but
he did him the honor of discussing
with him little matter of bribery.
From this. ii might seem that the
Sheriff had discarded his cloak of in
nUcence or ut least to have had 1t
taken away from him by physical
force or force of circumstances.
Such, however, is not the case. The
Shcrif's innocence still held its cit
adel against the combined attacks of
everything and everybody. There Is
no doubt of it, il we follow the Sher-
itf's words closely.
Proof of the fact Is found in the
Sheriif's written statement appearing
In the b Il e 4 of Monday, in
which he says: The only motive /
had in suggesting the $500. was
that 1t would lead to the arrest of
the briber and the enrichment of the
public Golfers by that sum-"
That's clear. 1t is elegant. 1t is
great. \ more glorious exhibition of
loyalty to the public Golfers has not
been found in month of Sundays.
But
AS he is the exemplification of in
nocence on Il monument, it appar-
emily did not occur to the County
Sheriff that when working up case
lof bribery against man, the pay
ment of $500. or $50. or 800. was
just as valuable for criminal pur-
poses as $500.
Therefore 1t must be assumed that
the County Sheriff in suggesting
$500. was innocent, sweetly inno-
cent.
| Otherwise he would have been will
ing to have accepted smaller sum
in order to make out case, and have
waited for more convenient season
FOR the additional amount with
which to enrich the Golfers of the
public treasury from the red-light
district.
The further this matter of Isoi and
laukea and their negotiations opens
up, the more 1t shows to be one of the
most softly purring unsophisticated
propositions that ever adorned po-
lice records and received the endorse
ment of the reformers of the town.

thing from their own representatives
What the common, everyday citi-
zen wants to know is: Which story
which version Of innocence the
thoughtful public ia to believe first.
! Let us remember:
First. the Sheriff did not know
that the sl00.-note-isoi was Iwilei-
isui
Second the Sheriff suggested ST.
500. as a bribe in order to enrich the
County Golfers with Iwilei-lsoi's mon
ey.
Third, It is assumed that the Shcr-
liz. being without guile, did not re-
call the fact that $500. bride would
be as valuable for criminai purposes
as $500.
Isn't IL shame to put the rcspon-
.sibilities of Office on an official like
that?

INNOCENCE IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE,

The lamb-liko innocence of the
County Sheriff might well occupy the
attention of the Attorney General II
is deeply impressed on the minds OF
the community.
Accepting his own words, for It
there Is not the slightest doubt that
Sheriff laukea is the most guileless
cflicial that ever graced the County
of Oahu or the Territory of Hawaii
II is remarkable indeed for man to
live so long and remain so thorough
ly untouched by worldly thought. Or
1t may be that he has developed in
nocence under the influence of the
reformation.
County Sheriff Iaukea, in the first
instance, said that he didn't know
the lsoi to whom he gave 500. I'M
secured note was the Isoi of Iwilei
fame. Even the Advertiser said, "Of
course not" because the detectives
and the underlings OF the force are
supposed to form the ill-smelling ac-
quaintances, leaving the Sheriff In
his Office unframed by contact and
personal acquaintance with the I'M
der-world.
This at the outset shows deep
desire to remain innocent or to at
least cultivate innocence.
Now, a few days later, it appears
that the County Sheriff had more
intimate acquaintance with the man
Jsoi-Iwilei Isoi-than the public

WRONG

~ wal A'll iolllli
The Advertiser has had an attack
of It's nightmare again. In the early
| hours of Tuesday morning the hldeous
county government was haunting its
dreams, and the shrieks of pain We're
/ heard In the composing room where
q foolish linotyper picked them up
and made an editorial of them.
The dreams were occasioned by a
lot of undigested rumors that all Ha.
waiians were going to combine in one
grand anti.haole vote on November
Bird next. 4.
Leaving alone the fact that this food
was the pabulum manufactured by the
Advertiser for its customers nine
years ago, and that the stuff 1t recon-
mended as the only breakfast food at
that time II now denounces as poison
there still remains the record of the
effect of it on the system as observed
by that paper.
According TO the Advertiser 1t was
the awakening of the interest In poll
tics among the Hawaiians that brought
county government, In spite of its
strenuous fight for oligarchy. The first
! thing to arouse the voters and make
them work for a change was the open
and apparently unchecked graft prac
, tised among the Office holders In Ho
nolulu, graft which brought the Terri.

HAWAlrS SIX DELEGATES.

Hereafter the Convention shall
consist of a number of delegates
from each State equal to double
the number of each Senator and
Representative in Congress: six
delegates each from the Territor-
les; two from Alaska, two from
the District of Columbia; two
from Porto Rico. and two from
the Philippine Islands"
This is the text of Rule | passed
by the Republican National Conven.
tion and constitutes Hawaii's guaran-
tee for six delegates in the next con-
vention. 1t also establishes our place
with the Territories of the country rs
opposed to the possessions" with
which the Islands are SO frequently
cassed.
The general impression has been
that National Committeeman Robert
son in his campaign for larger rep
resentation in the National conven-
tlon secured only promise which
might be upset at the pleasure of the
National Committee four years
hence.
This is far from the fact.
The rule of the convention is be-
yond the power of any committee to
modify. The work of our delegates
this year attracted little attention
from the crowds but splendid results
were forthcoming.
To retain this representation Ha-
wall has only TO maintain its posi-
ton as a self-governing Territory.

TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE

 That Bss Bssa Contributed.

The directors of the Waterbury Anti-Tuberculosls league met In City hall yesterday afternoon to discuss plans for the future and to review the work that has already been done. Walter w. Holmes. treasurer, re- ported that the sum of money do- mated since the fund started was $l,927,50. of which $74l.06 had al- ready been used.
 At the present time In this city the league Is taking care of about 90 tubercular cases and some of the patients depend upon the league for their maintenance. Much of the money has been spent buying milk, eggs, medicine and providing rooms for the patients. The league has taken hold of all cases where 1t thought the patients were deserving of help. The directors are pleased with the work already accomplished and expect to do much the coming year.
 Although there is still over $1,O00 In the treasury the directors would be grateful for contributions sent to the treasurer. The work cannot go on without funds and with few con tibutions coming in, 1t would not take long to spend the money now there.

Ills 1an Was simple.

Frederick the Great once requested his generals to submit to him plans of campaign for supposlttious case. Hans Joachim von Ziethen, the famous cavalry general, produced a queer dia- gram in black ink. It represented a big blot in the center, intersected by two black lines, whose four terminals ended each in smaller blot. The king was furious and upbraided his old com rade in arms bitterly for what he con sidered disrespect.
 In explanation von Ziethen said: Why, your majesty, I am the large blot in the center. The enemy is any one of the four smaller blots. He can march upon me from the right or left, from the front or rear. If he does simply advance upon any of the four lines and lick him where find him."
 Frederick was satisfied.

Scared by Erons.

It Is said to be owed to the frogs of western Australia that that part of the empire Is English and not French. About 1900 a party of prospective French colonists landed on the west coast of Australia. but on the first morning they were alarmed by the loud croaklng of the frogs. which they took for demons. and retired with all speed to their ships. Western Austra- lia might have preferred the frog to the swan as her emblem. just as Rome might have preferred, instead of the eagle, the goose that saved the capital.
