For Two Naval Heroes
On the Cruiser Yankee.
Risked Their Own Lives TO
Keep Vessel From Sinking.
Engineer Wotherspoon and Diver
Micnot Highly Commended.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Warm praise
for heroic work on the part of En-
eineer Wothcrspoon and a diver named
Micnot aboard the cruiser Yankee,
while an effort was being made to tow
the vessel to New Bedford after she
had been cleared off Spindle Rock, is
given in a report to the navy depart
ment by Capt. Charles c. Marsh of the
vessel.
The night of Dec. and 5, while the
vessel was under tow, Capt. Marsh
SAYS was much the worst since ground
ing, the wind blowing with such force
that had the ship been still on the
rocks she would very likely have been
fatally damaged. The report says in
part:
Hours were consumed in trying to
tow the ship. Her draught and the
heavy list to starboard made steering
impossible, so that she took rank
sheers, parting .he hawsers, etc. By S
p M the chief danger was loss Of air
pressure.
"Some time III the early morning
wcrd came up that the air compressors
had stopped Also the news came of
the open air port. This latter informa-
ton was given to the engineer. Mr..
Wotherspoon. He went below and then
sent for diver. The behavior of these
two men cannot go by unnoticcd. The
open air port was in the stateroom on
berth deck, starboard SIDE, next to the
air compressors. Mr.. Wo1herspoon went
into this stateroom and siut the door
He then tried to close tho air port, got
one dog partly in place and then hung
up his lantern so as to use both hands
THE light was blown Out and he was
left in total darkness. The pressurs
against the port was too great for hin
and he found himself in water up t
his neck in this closed stateroom. For
tunately the pressure eventually car
ried away the door and he was thrown
cut and into the berth deck.
I'm the meantime. French Cana
dian diver, named MicnOt put on mis-
diving suit and in darkness went dowr
ir sinking ship to lend a hand at
closing the air port. The diving pump
was tended by Mr.. Wotherspoon an6
one of the company whose name I dc
not remember. For devotion to theil
work and for courage 1 know nothing
better than these actions"

PRESIDENT ORDERS RIFLES.
Will Use Powerful Weapons With
Which to Stay Beasts Of Jungle.

New Haven, Dec. BIT is stated
ere that for his African trip President
Roosevelt has ordered from the Win
hester Repeating Arms Co, four diff
aren't types of rifles. The first of these
flies is known as the model Of 1895.
# .405 ca,ibre. This is the most pow
rful rifle made and is intended for
he very largest type of African game,
md it is also likely to be extremely
rseful when the President finds the
ooked for crocodile Of the upper Nile.
The rifle carries a 30O-grain bullet and
used with smokeless powder and is
ne most modern type of rife of the
Kind made. The power of the rifle can
oe measured by the fact that the bull
ct at the time of impact has an en-
,rgy of 3500-foot pounds.
The second rife ordered by the
President for his excursion is known
Is the Number 80 government rimless
cartridge type, carrying a 220 grain
bullet. 1t is of much higher power
than the model of 1895 and of longer
'ange, fitted to kill very large game
1t range of from 500 to 1000 yards.
though at the latter range the bullet
must be well placed.
The cartridge is of the type de-
yeloped by the government and it is
inferred that it will be particularly
1aluable for sport with the lions and
lnimals of that size and type in the
African wids.
The third rifle ordered is of the
model of 1885, an extra light weapon
carrying 1910 government cartridge
with it's most effective range at 500
Yards 1t is of the type which the
President has frequently used in the
cast. 1t is of 405 calibre and has as
much energy after the bullet has gone
200 yards as the government rifle has
1t the muzzle This is the rifle which
the President has used very much in
his past excursions for big game in
the West
The fourth rifle ordered by the
President is known as the model Of
1894, calibre 400 and effective up to
700 or 800 yards, to be used for mod
rate game, carrying cartridge with
bullet of 10 grains, loaded with
smokeess powder. 1t also is of very
high power type of rifle which he has
used also in his Western hunts for big
game, notably in his Colorado trips
With these four rifles provision has
been made for every type OF game that
the President looks for in the African
Businesses.

vided between the two parties to the con-
tract. The copaitncrship attempted tc
extend their business and the suit re
suited. When Mr.. Rockefeller was on
the stand before Thanksgiving day he
had told of the acquisition of companies
beginning long before the 1879 trust agree
ment. In the cross-examination Mr. l<ei-
logg asked the president of the StanGar
to identify two sections Of the affidavit;
in the Cleveland suit, as follows:
Atfiant says the Standard Oil Co. owns
and operates its refineries at C)evel.; nd
Ohio, and it's refinery at Baycnne, n. J.
that it has no other refneries nor any in,
terest in any other reiineries, nor does tho
Standard Dill Co. operate or control IN the
United states any other refineries Of
crude petroleum.
To this Mr.. Rockefeller answered thai
he could not state from memory wha
was in that affidavit. Mr.. Kellogg thel
called attention to the following:
A1iant says that it is not tue that thu
plaintiff got control of the refineries D
the firm of Logan Brothers of Pniladel
plia, the Octave Oil Co., Easteriy & Da
Wis and the Bennett & Warner co. Of Ii
tusville, Pa; r. S. Warning and the Cit
liens Oil Works Of Pittsburs, or either 9
them.
IF that was in that affidavit ana ties
tilted to it, it was because l understood
that to be the status was Mr. Roche
feller's answer.
1t is understood that John d. Rockcfel
lcrc, @. III. Payne and Henry NJ. Flasle
made similar affidavits in the suit agans
Scofield, schurmer & Tcagle, which va

Ohio against Scofield, Schurmer &. Teagle
of Cleveland, in 1880, have been found
Frank B. Kellogg, the special deputy
United States attorney general who is
prosecuting the suit here to dissolve the
Standard wished to establish from them
that John D. Rockefeller and others made
affidavit that the Ohio company had no
controlling interest, nor part ownership
whatever in any other refineries than
those in Cleveland and Bayonne Mr.
Kellogg had evidence of control, which
was strengthened when the counsel for
the Standard several weeks ago put in
the trust agreement of 1879 and the gov
eminent counsel wanted to clinch the
matter with Mr. Rockefeller's testimony
Repeated efforts had been made to tind
the papers. which should have been In the
archives of the Cleveland court, where
the suit was brought. For fear that they
might be taken and not returned, the man
in charge of the records years ago had
kept the Scofed, Schuimer & Teagle Aft

But steel doors did net protect them.
Vhey were gone when most urgently
wanted. The Standard Oil Co. could throw
no light on their disappearance The gov
eminent finally turned the search over to
secret service officers. with the result
that they have been traced to the posses

case reopens in January.
