SURE TRUST WAS PAID REBATES.
Witness in Standard Oil Hearing Says
Waybills Were JuuuIed,

Washington, Jan. 26.-By insisting
that the Standard Oil company re.
ceived rebates of from S to 2 "a cents
per hundred on a rate of IL cents per
hundred, and following this with the
statement that certain waybills which
he had examined led him to believe
that blind" bills were made out and
later filled in, Deputy Commissioner
of Corporations E. Dana Durand yes.
terday paved the way for some strenu.
Gus differences between Attorney
Frank B. Kellogg for the government
and Attorney Rosenthal for the oil
company. The testimony was given in
the hearing before Stated Examiner
Judge Franklin, before whom the gov
eminent is laying the foundation of it's
case for the annulment of the compa,
ny's charter.
Mr.. Durand was on the stand
throughout the day testifying to rates
given the Standard Oil company, par
ticularly by the Eastern Illinois and
Illinois Central railroads, and identi-
flying waybills of shipments of oil made
to various points in the Southern ter.
ritory from Whiting, Ind.
Counsel in Clash.
A sharp difference Of opinion arose
between counsel for the government
and counsel for the Standard Oil. Mr..
Durand testified that certain waybills
which he had examined personally in
the office of the Illinois Central rail.
way bore two kinds of handwriting in
different kinds of ink, from which fact
he was led to infer that blind bill
ing had been put in and afterward the
new matter had been inserted in the
waybills. To this testimony Mr.. Ro-
senthal objected, insisting that the
inference of Mr. Durand was not COM
petent evidence. He said that Mr..
Durand might testify competently to
the fact that he saw different hand
writings in different inks on a waybill,
but that his inference was not evi.
dence.
After an informal discussion among
the attorneys it was agreed that the
evidence should be submitted, but
that counsel for defendants should
have opportunity to check up all pa.
pers and documents submitted from
the files of the railroad, with subse.
quent opportunity to cross-examine
the witness on the evidence so sub.
mitted.

Threatened Legal Attack on.
Hartman System.
WRIST CONTROL FROM THE up.
Throttling of Competition in West Is
Charged Kellogg and Sever
ance in Charge.

Washington, Jan. Is - What prom
Uses to be the governments greatest
contest in it's struggle for regulation
of interstate railroads was begun here
Saturday when the preliminaries were
completed for the long-threatened le-
gal attack upon the Hartman system.
In its scope the suit is the greatest
ever undertaken by the government
against combination of railroads
and financiers, and the defendants in
clude not only all of the so-called Har-
riman roads and the New York fnan-
ciers who have been instrumental in
their development and manipulation,
but concerns also the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and Burlington,
as being more or less under Hartman

According to the statement of the

tually one system.

aside the control by the Union Pacific
Railroad company and it's subsidiary
corporations of the Southern Pacific

Salt Lake railroad; also to have de-
clared illegal the ownership by the
Union Pacific or the Oregon Short

Frank B. kellogg and e. A. Sever
ance of st. Paul will prosecute the

lions, for the attorney general an.
nounces that, in addition to the rail
roads mentioned, the following noted
individuals will be made defendants:

SHIPS BATTERED BY STORM
Tales Of Shipwreck and Loss Of Life
Are Echoes of Recent Storm.

dleS OF ShIpWreck ana Loss OF Lie
Are Echoes Of Recent Storm.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Tales of ship
wreck at sea and possible loss of life
are the echoes of the recent severe
storm that were brought to port yes
terday by belated and tempest-tossed
steamships.
Fear that an unknown three-masted
schooner, with her crew, has been
lost in the storm off the Delaware
capes is expressed by officers of the
Steamer Mamma Hata, which limped
into harbor yesterday from Baltimore.
The schooner was seen struggling in
the trough of the sea off the Della
ware capes, and when the Mama
Hata neared the locality where the
schooner was last sighted many pieces
of wrecked vessel and quantities of
railroad ties were seen floating in the
water.
The Italian steamer San Giovanni
reached here yesterday with Capt. H.
V. Morse and the crew of five of the
oil barge Matanzas, which, with two
other barges, the Fall River and the
Grafton, in tow of the tug Concord
from Philadelphia, for Boston, broke
adrift during the storm and for hours
was at the mercy of the waves, which
wrenched off the rudder and opened
her seams. The Matanzas was filling
rapidly when the Italian merchantmen
hove in sight and rescued Capt. Morse
and his crew.
A wireless dispatch received here
last night from the steamship Mature.
tania, which left here Saturday, states
that the barge Fall River was sighted
yesterday. and that Capt. Taylor OF
the Fall River and his crew were pick.
ed up and taken to Liverpool. 4.
The tug Concord and the barge
Grafton have not been heard from.

ON SENATOR FULToN's TRAIL.
Prosecutor Heney Tries to Connect
Senator With Conspiracy Case.

S'osSi WIN conspiracy SdSS.
Portland, Or, Jan. 26.-In the Hall
Mays conspiracy case yesterday Fran
els J. Heney, the prosecutor. endeav-
ored, through Former State Senator
w. w. Steiwer, to connect United
States Senator Charles w. Fulton
with the case. According to the con-
tention of the prosecution, Fulton saw
John H. Hall on behalf of Senator
Steiwer and exacted a promise from
Hall that civil proceedings would be
brought against the Butte Creek Live
Stock and Lumber company in East
ern Oregon instead of criminal &C.
ton against the individual members
of the corporation.
The prosecution contends that Full
ton wrote to Steiwer, telling of his ar
rapgement with Hall, but this alleged
letter is not in the possession of the
government.
Steiwer testified yesterday that Full
ton had requested him to bring all the
correspondence between them to Port.
land and that while here Fulton Sc
lected this particular letter and either
destroyed it or still has it in his pos.

zoo LIVES SAVED FROM FLAMES
City Hall At Portland, Me-, Destroyed
Worst Fire In Many
Years.

Portland. Me-, Jan. ga fire which
caused property damage Of $1,000.
900 early yesterday destroyed the city
hall and police buildings and endan.
gered the lives of more than 700 per
sons. Although known as city hall.
the building was divided between city
and county Offices, while the police
building sheltered the supreme, Judi.
cial and municipal courts, in addition
to the police department.
Worst Fire in Forty Years.
The fire was the worst in the state
since the great Portland confagration
of 1866, when the city's business and
residential section were almost com.
pletely wiped out.
That there were no fatalities is re.
markable, as there were more than
700 persons attending the Western
Maine knights of Pythias jubilee,
gathered in the auditorium of the
city hall, when the flames were dis.
covered. Only a few persons were
hurt, Chief Engineer Melville Ed
ridge being the only one known to
be seriously injured.
Loss Is lnestimable.
The financial loss is estimated at
$1,000,000, but this sum will not cover
the loss of the papers and documents
in the registry of deeds, where every.
thing was destroyed. Other city de.
partments were swept clear of every.
thing by the flames, with the excep.
ton of the city clerks and the city
treasurer's office. When the flames
communicated to the police building,
where the city Jail is located, the
prisoners were set free.
Goodness Prevents Panic.
When the flames were discovered
William A. Turner, chairman of the
meeting of the Pythian body, was met
in the hallway by three men who &C.
quainted him with the condition of af-
fairs. Coolly he entered the audito.
rum and assembled the stage, inter.
rupting the rites of investiture which
were going on at the time He calmly
told the assembled members of the
existing conditions, and thus averted
panic, bringing out more than 700
persons uninjured.
