John D. Arc6bold Says Combine
Was Formed in Order to Hold.
Scattered Property
GOVERNMENT RESUMES PROBE
Archbold Says Lawyer. Told Standard
Of Ohio That Legal Right to Hold
Property in Other States Was Lacks
ing, Therefore Great Trust Was Ps--
fected-TeiIs of Villas Agreement.

New York, Nov. 3O-Resuming his
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil corl-
pany, John D. Archbold, vice president
of the company, was questioned abo ut
the Villas, Keith & Chester agreement
of 1879. Archbold said the agreement
| was made as simple method of hol1-
ing the property in the interest )f
the trust agreement of 1882 and said
all the Shareholders Of the Standard
and the benef1ciaries Of Villas, Keith &
| Chester agreement signed the agrees
ment. Twenty trust certificates were
| issued for each single share Of Stand
ard stock.
"The capital stock of the Standard
was $780, OO0," said Archbold, "but tie
| plants and property were valued at
$40, 900, 900" Archbold then gave the
reason for the formation Of the Stand-
ard Oil trust, saying:
cit was done as a simple and effee.-
tive form of holding the property. We
were advised by counsel that neither
the Standard Oil company of Ohio ncr
any other corporation could effectually,
or safely, perhaps, hold property which
was widespread in many states whose
laws were restrictive Of the right Of
| corporations. A trusteeship was suls-
gested as simple method to bring to-
gether the property and form token n
of ownership which would have a
market value and enable the owners
to have a more effective administra-
ton"

MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS
Scheme Of Eighth District Postmas-
ters to Hold Onto Plums May Result
in Their Being Counted Out En-.
tirey.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Washington, Nov. 30-The report
has reached here that the postmasters
in the Eighth Iowa district, all faithful
supporters of Colonel Hepburn, will
resign before March 4, and be reap
pointed in body by Colonel Hepburn
for full four years terms, so as to de-
priye Senator Cummins of a finger in
the Eighth district patronage. Being in
the south half of the state, this patron
age would naturally go. to Cummins,
during the period when a democrat
represents the district in congress.
Announcement of this program
caused much concern here. Senator
Cummins' friends will advise him in
such event to hold up confirmation of
the entire list of postmasters and fight
it out at the very beginning. The
scheme is so transparent that it is
believed no administration would try
to force it. The postoffices will be given
to republicans in any case. 1t is simply
a question Of keeping them away from
Cumnins friends. The opinion was ex-
pressed today that if the Eighth dis
trict people resign they will lose their
jobs, and not get the ,long term reap
pointments.

EASTERN ROADS RAISE RATES
Increase Of I and 2 Cents From Sea.
board to Mississippi.

Chicago, Nov. 3O-An unexpected
increase in freight rates has been an
nounced by the eastern railroads, to
take effect on Dec. 26. The increases
are between / and cents hundred
pounds.
The new rates will apply to all class
freight from the seaboard points OF
Baltimore and Philadelphia, lake and
rail. destined to points west of the
Mississippi river. The increase in the
first and second class rates is 2 cents,
the tirst-class rate from Baltimore
having been increased from 10 to "
cents, and the first-class rates from
Philadelphia from 72 to "a cents to the
Mississippi river.
The Increases will again throw out
of adjustment the differential which
has always existed between the all
rail and the lake and rail rates from
the seaboard. About year ago the
Chicago Association of Comm cree In
duced. the railroads to make an In
crease in the differential which existed
in favor Of the lake and rail routes to
the west in order to preserve to Chi
cago any advantage 1t might have by
reason of it's location on the Great
Lakes.
The differential in the rates has al
ways been a bone of contention, and
1T is likely that the new adjustment
will be opposed by the merchants OF
the middle west. The new rates are
the forerunners of increases which are
to be made everywhere the railroads
feel that IT is desirous to make in
creases

Coal company. Thirty more have been

The miners forming the rescue party
to bring the bodies to the surface

sion is past, it is said today, and the
work of bringing the thirty additional
bodies which had been located, will
proceed at once.
John H. Jones, president Of the coal
company, today stated that company
representatives had checked off the
names Of 130 miners whom they knew
were in theemine at the time Of the
explosion. He does not believe the list
Of dead will exceed that number.
One hundred twelve bodies have been
located. Jones believes the number will
total between 1l6 and 130. Between
$50 and 200 weeping men, women and
children were lined up in front Of the
morgue this morning, awaiting their
turns to >clafln the dead. A force Of
twenty-five undertakers are preparing
the bodies as fast as they are brought
to the surface.
ITO Bodies Recovered.
At o'clock this afternoon, ITO bod

sixty have been identified. A number Of
bodies buried under the fallen work

fifty bodies taken from the wrecked
Rashel mine at Mariana. So mangled
and dismembered are most Of the bod

Frank Ellinger coal cutter, is the
only man to escape alive from the
mine. He spent twelve hours in the
dark with the bodies of his 13S dead
comrades. Ellinger was badly injured,
and tainted ON being brought to the
surface.
The work Of bringing up the bodies
began with daybreak. Those who went
down into the mine to fetch UP tle
mangled bodies did so with the full
knowledge that they were taking great
chances, for in spite of all the state
ments it is known that the mine the
model Of the world, which Saturday
collapsed within ten minutes after It
had been pronounced safe, Sunday was
filled with gas. Another explosion is
sadly feared by the friends Of the work
men.
One Of the first bodies to be recov-
