Chicago. Oct. 14.-Questions In
cross-examination Of Henry E FELTON,,
general traffic manager of the Stand
ard OIL company. by Frank B. Kel-
logg. government attorney, In the
hearing of the railroad phase of the
government suit to dissolve the Stand
ard Oil company, brought on a colo
guy between counsel for the oil COM
pany and the government on the sub
Ject of immunity to railroads.
The primary question propounded
to Mr.. FELTON, concerned a 12-cent
rate between Whiting, Ind, where
Standard Oil company refineries are
located, and Toledo, and an 11-cent
rate from Whiting to Cincinnati. In
this connection Mr. FELTON, declared
that the roads out of Chicago, under
pressure from the bureau of corpora
tons, put in an Illegal rate to Toledo.
Attorney Kellogg asked: did all the
railroads put out these rates to East
ST. Louis, to Evansville, to Grand
Junction, the rates from Chicago to
Toledo, because they were afraid Of
the bureau of corporations?"
Mr.. Rosenthal, counsel for Stand,
ard Oil company, interposed. II think
all of the railroads that were granted
immunity against criminal prosecu-
ton by private arrangement with the
<xr<x f1h
probably did So"
"Will you answer the question:"
continued Mr.. Kellogg, addressing
Mr.. FELTON,.
81 don't know of railroad that was
indicted" commented Mr.. RosenthaI,
while Mr.. FELTON, replied that he could
not answer the question, and Mr.. Ro.
seminal continued, "and the records
in the various, cases show that they
were granted Immunity. What they
did under the pressure of that grant
of immunity we do not altogether
know"
Mr.. Kellogg then interposed with
the words: THE more of that sort Of
talk you put in the record, Mr. Rosen-
thai, the worse it will be for you"
Instant rejoinder was made by Mr..
Rosenthal, who declared: When the
time comes that you can not only con-
troll your own case but undertake to
control what put in the record, then
it is time for me to withdraw from
the case, and 1 will do it whenever
we reach that stage. I do not hear
any denial from the governments
side of the table that these railway
companies were granted immunity
from criminal prosecution. Mr.. Kel-
logg disclaimed any knowledge of any
immunity or promise of immunity,
and after few more words the cross
examination was resumed.

CHICAGO NEEDS
ONE MORE GAME
Detroit is Easy Mark to the National
League Cham
piOns.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 14.-By winning
from Detroit, to 0, Chicago mas now
won three of the four games of the
championship series. Should victory
again come to Captain Chance today
the worlds championship for 1908
will come with it. The game was an
errorless one. and the Detroit enthu-
siasts ascribed their defeat very
largely to the luck OF the game. Two
OF Chicago's runs. which would have
been enough to win, came ip the third
inning on two bases on balls, a steal
OF second and two hits. Chicago add
ed another one for good measure in
the ninth. when Evers singled to
right, stole second and came home on
Chances hit. In only one inning, the
fourth, did Detroit threaten. With
men on frst and second, Cobb forced
O'Leary at third, and Crawford was
caught mapping off second. In the
last four inning Brown was invinci-
BILE. and the Detroit side was retired
each In one-two-three order.
The pitching Of Brown was clearly
up to his usual standard His only
wfldness YVES in hitting Coughlin. He
allowed only four hits, two of which
went to O'Leary and two to Crawford,
one of the latter's being a double. He
struck out four men, besides accept
ing four fielding chances In perfect
style. Score:
Detroit -. 100 o 90 o o o 90 4 o
Chicago 20 2 o o o o o Ia IL o
Batteries Summers, Winter and
Schmidt; Brown and King.
While the crowd was larger than
that which turned out to view the
opening struggle of the. series here,
It was not as large as had been ex-
pected In view of Detroit's victory.
The turnstiles registered 12.9O7 paid
admissions, from which the gross re-
ceipts were $19.231. The ground i'm
mediately in front of the grandstand
was still muddy from Saturdays rain,
but the diamond was in good condi-
ton and the weather almost ideal.
