HALT SHOULD Be MADE
IN The DEMONSTRATION
Rough Actions Of Draymen and BUS
Drivers at the Depots Should
Be Stopped.

The Pioneer has heard many COM
plants of late as the actions of bus
and dray drivers at the depots in the
city. more especially these who
make" the trains at the M. & I.
station.
Many who travel up and down
This line of road are quite put out by
the manner in which they are impor-
tuned when trains arrive at Bemidji.
Sereral draymen have an extended
hand and oftentimes grab passen-
ger coming off the train, soliciting
transfer of baggage. 1t is about as
bad with the bus drivers. They
are not TO be outdone by the dray-
men, and the manner in which the
welkin rings" when the train comes
in is a disgrace to any well-regulated
city,,
If the agents at the depots are un-
able to cope with these strong
arm" gentlemen, a policemen, with
the right kind of nerve, should be
stationed at the depots when trains
arrive, in order that transcients ar
irving in Bemidji will not be torn
limb from limb and their belongings
scattered to the four winds of heaven.
The local police force would do
the public great favor by looking
after this matter and giving assist
ance to the agents of the railway
companies IN preserving order.

CANNOT CLAIM

Rockefeller Did Not Conceive
Original Oil Trust.
CONTINUES ON THE STAND

Head Of Octopus Declares That Flag
Ter and Dodd Planned the Forma-
ton Of the Big Combine in 1882.
Tells How Individuals Held Stock
Of Supposed Independent Concerns
for Benefit of Standard.
New York, Nov. 24.-John D. Rookie
teller was on the stand when the
hearing in the government suit to dis
solve the STANDARD Oil company was
resumed here. He was questioned by
Frank B. Kellogg, special assistant at
torney general. During the course of
his cross-examination Mr.. Rockefeller
testified that he did not conceive the
plan of the formation of the original
Standard Oil trust in 1882. I'm sorry
to say that I didn't" said Mr.. Rookie
teller. Il cannot claim any credit for
that. Mr.. Flagler and S. c.. T. Dodd
conceived it"
In resuming his examination of Mr.
Rockefeller Attorney Kellogg asked:
"How many railroad men did you
take into the Standard after 1902"
II could not say
"Was W. H. Vanderbilt a stock
holder?"
II can't say definitely. He might
have been a stakeholder for a trifing
amount"
Mr.. Kellogg brought out the fact
that Amasa Stone, then president of
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railroad; Stillman Witt, a direc-
tor of the Lake Shore and Big Four
roads, and J. p Handy, also direc-
tor of the Big Four railroad, were
taken into the Standard Oil company
in the early days.
Many Railroad Men in Trust.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that P. H. Wat
son seemed to have access to w. H.
Vanderbilt and the witness thought he
afterwards became president of the
Erie railroad.
And he was president while he
was a stakeholder in your company?"
asked Mr.. Kellogg.
IF so he was not a stakeholder for
any length Of time"
The witness said he did not think
that any officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad were connected with the
Standard Oil company.
'"Then in the early days you had a
president of the New York Central, a
president of the Erie three directors
of the Lake Shore and all the stock
holders of the South improvement
company except three as stockholders
of the Standard Oil company"
my testimony will show"
From list read by Mr.. Kellogg the
witness identified fifteen small COM
panies which Mr.. Rockefeller said
were purchased by the Standard and
he said he believed twenty to twenty
five concerns were bought in Cleve-
land.
How many did you keep in opera
tion?"
II could not say"
ANY of them?"
II should have to think that over"
The witness said that after the
Standard Oil company purchased
Warden, Frew & Co. and the Atlantic
refinery of Philadelphia and Pitts
buarg Mr. Warden, Mr.. Frew and
Charles Lockhart became stockhold.
ers of the Standard and continued in
the management of those companies
He could not recall whether the stock
of the Standard was exchanged for
stock of the Atlantic Refining COM
pany.

Buying Up Independents.

Mr.. Kellogg called attention to the
purchases of Porter, Moreland & Co.
and Bennett, Warner e Co., together
with Easterly & Davis and John Jack
son, and asked Mr.. Rockefeller if he
did not purchase them. The witness
said the Standard Oil interests bought
Porter, Moreland & Co. and Bennett,
Warner & Co. and conveyed it to the
Acme Oil company.
do you recall Mr. Archbold's testi-
mony in 1879 in this state?"
"No.'
Mr.. Kellogg then read from Mr..
Archbold's testimony, in which he
stated that the Acme Oil company
was an Independent oil company and
not owned, controlled or affiliated
with the Standard
"Was the Acme Oil company an in
dependent concern in those years?''
1.-THE stock of the Acme was held
by several gentlemen"
Whom did the individuals hold this
Acme Oil company stock for?''
For the benefit of the stockholders
of the Standard Oil company of Ohio,
with the exception of some shares for
smaller stockholders. I should say
that $225,000 out of 100000 was held
for the Standard"
Mr.. Rockefeller said that the vari.
Gus companies in the Standard Oil
trust agreement, which was made in
1882, were managed as separate and
Independent corporations.
Recess was then declared and one
of the reporters handed to Mr.. Rookie.
Teller the following written question:
do you think you should receive i'm
munity from prosecution because of
your testimony in case proceedings
are brought later?'
Mr.. Rockefeller leaned over as if to
whisper to the reporters and said in
loud tone: please tell them I am
not in"

Gang of Thugs
Are Operating

There may be another gang of thugs
operating along this division of the
Southern Pacific. Within the past
week a number OF complaints have
been made of men being heldup at
different points along the road. A
man went to the Railroad restaurant
in Winnemucca yesterday morning
and told the proprietor that he had
been robbed at a water tank east OF
this place the day before. The man
asserted that hold-ups were of COM
mon occurrence along the railroad at
the present time. Whether an orga-
nized gang, like the Williams
outfit, which murdered young Welch
a few years ago and paid the penalty
on the gallows, is again operating
along the railroad in this vicinity, Is
of course only matter of surmse,
but circumstances point very strongly
that way. Within a few weeks the
bodies of two men have been found,
cut to pieces, at stations west OF
Winnemucca and the real cause ot
their deaths is as yet a myste-v.-

Ii railroad rumOrs now prevalent
are correct the town of Winnemucca,
in Humboldt county, is destined to be-
come the greatest r-iIroad center in
Nevada and will some day be a city
of many thousand inhabitants. At the
present time the Southern Pacific runs
through Winnemucca and the Western
Pacific line is being built through the
town. A survey is also being made for
the Golden Gate Route, which will eX-
tend from Boise to Winnemucca, to
connect with the Gould line at that
point and now rumor has it that the
Rock Island line is to build through
Nevada, making Winnemucca a termi-
nal point 10 Portland, Oregon. If this
is true there will be four big roads
running into the town of Winnemucca.
1T is stated definitely that the line
connecting Boise and other points in
the north with the Western Pacific
will be built to Winnemucca and ac-
cording to the latest rumor the work
on the extension of the Rock Island
toward Portland Oregon, has already
been started.

Should Com
pile the Statute s

The next Legislature CT Nevada can
find no more important piece of work
than the appointment of commission
of capable lawyers, whose duty it shall
be to take apart the fearful and Won
derful combination of errors which
constitute the statutes of the state
and put them in a harmonious whole.
Hardly a day passes but some point
of law comes in prominence in the
state On which there are different
constructions put by the wording OF
the statutes. The grossest errors of
negligence have attended amend
ments made to the latter from tinfs
to time. The latest instance in proof
of this is afforded by disputes as to
what the law governing registration
means as amended by the last legisla-
ture In the event of close vote in
the state law on the subject as it now
stands might make for serious conf
plications and in presidential year
might entangle national results.-Vlr-
