STANDARD OIL KING
 UNDER HEAVY FIRE
Grl11neSS Murder Trial
 Makes Good Progress

The defense tried to show that Mrs. Guinness might have removed tho bridge work from her mouth and placed it in the fire to lend the im- pression that she was burned to death
 Dr. Wasser said that crowns could be removed intact without burning away the roots, but he did not know whether these were removed in that way.
 The defense called States Attorney Smith to the stand and asked him re- garding a trip which he and Roy Marr made to the Warwick place to get Lamphere's trunk after Lamphere's ar rest. He told the story and admitted that it was taken to his office, where it was examined and found to be empty.
 The state rested it's case today upon finishing the cross examination of Deputy Sheriff Anstiss.
 The state laid great stress on two points in the testimony of Anstiss. first the statement of Anstiss that Lamphere had admitted he would not deny having seen Mrs. Guinness kill Helgelein; the second Anstiss' state ment that Lamphere had said he would plead guilty to arson were it not for his mother.

NITROUS ACID IN
 BLEACHED FLOUR

Washington, November 20.-Admitting the existence of nitrous acid in bleached four but denying that 1t renders the product harmful to health, several ex- perts for the millers of the country today appeared before Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and members of the pure food board in hearing to determine the status of bleached flour under the provisions of the pure food and drugs act
 Secretary Wilson refused to admit as evidence a letter from Prof. D. w. Rock wood of Iowa, stating that nitrites in bleached flour are removed by yeast, rem dering the flour harmless.
 Prof. W. S. Hains of Rush Medical col lege, Chicago, contradicted some of the theories held by pr. Harvey w. Wylie, the government pure food expert Pro lessor Hains held that there should be no alarm because nitrites are found in bleached four, as it would require an enormous amount of this substance to kill a person.
 The millers concluded their testimony today.

TEXAS FREIGHT RATES
 CAUSE STRONG PROTEST

San Antonio, Tex, November 2o.-That freight rates to Texas were advanced in retaliation, in effect against previous or ders of the interstate commerce commis- sion, decreasing the revenues of railroads, was the startling testimony developed at the interstate commerce hearing of the complaint of Texas shippers and the rail- road commission of the state against proposed advance in rates of 10 per cent, today.
 c. Halle, traffic manager of the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas system, speaking for the railroads, was catechised by Com missioner Franklin K. Lane concerning this policy, the commissioner declaring with some heat that the effect of the railroads increasing rates upon commodi- ties upon which the commission had or dered reductions was to actually nullify

FORGERIES ARE
 OYER $1,5O0,OOO

Chicago, November 20.-After an ex- animation of the various documents in the office of Peter VanVlissingen, con victed forger of mortgages, notes and trust deeds on his own confession, William c. Nib1ack, vice president of the Chicago Title and Trust company, receiver for the vanvlissingen proper ties today declared the forgeries .amounted to $1 ,53s, ,423.s9. & Only a thorough examination of all Ehe papers, which include loan No. 2016 tp No, 9244 inclusive will disclose to the receiver and the creditors how many have been taken up by Van gvlissingen, who is now a convict in the broom shop in the Joliet penitentiary. Since the confession of guilt. which startled the business world, vanvlis- singen has repeatedly asserted that $750 900 would cover the forged paper which he disposed of to clients, who believed that they were investing money in securities which were be- yond question.

the commissions orders which had been issued upon the hypothesis of justification based upon the company's revenues; that the United States court had upheld this position, and that tue rates were over throwing the decision of the court to make such readjustment.
 MT Lane did not mention a particular case, but presumably had in mind the Texas cattle rate case which has just been finally settled against the railroads. MT. Halle testified that his road alone would lose $125,0oO annually owing to the cattle rate reduction. The United States court recently upheld the order of the commits sion requiring a reduction of cents per hundred pounds on live stock from the southwest to the northern markets, and in retaliation the railroads, according to Commissioner Lane, evidently put them selves in the position of thereby over- throwing the decision of the courts"

NEW EVIDENCE IN
 THE ANNIS CASE

New York November 20.-District Attorney Darrln has summoned the Queens county grand jury in extra session next Monday to consider new evidence in the Annis murder case.
 The grand jury has already returned indictments for murder. in the first de- gree against Peter C. Hains, Jr, and his brother. T. Jenkins Hains, in the case. The original indictment, how ever, charges T. Jenkins Hains with aiding and abetting his brother in the commission of the crime, and further with having fired the bullet which killed Annis. In view of the fact that it was Captain Hains who fired the fatal shot the lawyers for the defense claim that this indictment Is faulty. Supreme Court Justice Garrettson has refused, however. to set 1t aside.

TIMES DESPATCH
 OWNER IS DEAD

Richmond. November 2o--Joseph Bryan, owner of the Times Dispatch, probably the best known citizen of Richmond, and one of the well-known men of the south, died at his home, "Laburnum," just out side this city, tonight.
 Mir. Bryan had been dangerously i'll for several days with heart trouble.
 MT. Bryan was 63 years old There are many large enterprises in the south to- day prospering through his ability and genius for organizing.
 MT. Bryan was recognized as one of the south's greatest philanthropists. He was native of Gloucester county, and at the outbreak of the civil war was student at the University of Virginia. As soon as he arrived at a sufficient age his parents acquiesced in his request and he was al lowed to join the Confederate army, en- terng the command of Col. John S. Mosby, with which he served for the re- maining period of the war
 After the war he was married to Miss Belle Stewart, daughter of John Stewart of "Brookhll,' Henrico county, Virginia.
 MT. Bryan's Birmingham Interest.
 Joseph Bryan, who died at his home in Richmond was one of the largest stock holders in the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company and had long been active in its management. He acquired a ial .e holding in 1887 when Colonel Sloss sold his interest and when the Sloss Iron and Steel company was organized as the suc cessor of the Sloss Furnace company. MT. Bryan was director in the company from that time. In 1899 many additional properties were acquired and the com pany was reorganized as the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. Mr Bryan became first vice president and held that office until two years ago; but he was a member of the executive com mittee up to the time of his death. He visited Birmingham frequently in connec- ton with Soss- Sheffield business and was well known and esteemed in business cir cles here.

Alcohol From Potatoes.

Denatured alcohol is promised
to replace electricity as the fuel Of
the future, says the Delineator for
January. Prominent influences are
at work TO promote the use of dena
tured alcohol. The New York
company that is back of it has as its
president member of the United
States consular service who resign
ed his diplomatic position to serve
in this capacity. Arguments
brought to bear at legislative
sources this year succeeded in hav-
ing the revenue tax removed so
that denatured alcohol now sells
for fifty cents gallon. The de-
partment of Agriculture at Wash
ington has extended its cooperation
by introducing and distributing
through the country this season a
new variety of potato from which
he farmers will be able themselves
to produce the alcohol. And there
has just been placed on the market
an alcohol flatiron, stove and lamp
burner, the entire set selling for
only seven dollars. They operate
as simply and readily as those run
by electricity and at cost of one
cent an hour, which is cheaper even
than kerosene.

OKLAHOMA THE FIRST ONE.

Oklahoma will probably have the
first guaranteed deposit law of any
state in the Union. What is more
1t will prove blessing not only
to the depositors i'll the new state
but to the banks as we'll. The law
which will go into operation within
~ days, provides that the state
banks shall pay into the guarantee
fund a sum equal to per cent of
their average daily deposits and
whenever this fund is depleted
sufficient tax shall be levied on the
banks to make up the deficiency.
When bank fails the depositors
shall be Immediately paid BY the
state out of this guarantee fund and
the amount paid out shall be first
lien on the assets of the bank that
failed.
National banks may get in with
the consent of the comptroller of
the currency. OF course they will |
have to get in or go out of business
as national banks. Depositors
will put their money into the banks
where their deposits are safeguard
ed.
If congress was made up of men,
a majority of whom would prompt
ly pass a guaranteed deposit law
the panic would be over within
30 days after the law went into
operation, but we presume that
congress will not have enough
sense in the aggregate to do any.
