coroner's inquest is being held here

responsibility OF the suicide in the

the theory that the derlnger pistol
which Haas took his own life with
was on his person when he made an
attempt on the life of Heney. and
that he had It concealed in his shoe
when he entered the fail. and in this
manner avoided Its detection when
searched. With the view OF testing
this theory Tom Davis. the acting cor
oner, will put on the shoe of the
dead man and ascertain whether II

NEW 1Ohhs NOV. 1s-Jonn ~.
Rockefeller again took the stand
this morning when the court conven-
ed. and the suit b. the government
which has for its object the dissolu-
ton OF the Standard or company
was resumed. Considerable interest
Is being signifed in the case. and this
morning II was necessary to make ar
rangements for = larger room IN or

timnoy he had 10 give.
The evidence given by Rockefeller
yesterday was mostly q history Of
the standard oil business from It's
birth up 10 the present time. Ae-
eordlng to the evidence submitted
Rockefeller had been Identified with
the Institution ever since 1850. and
to his shTewd business manipulation
Is attributed in . great measure it,
growth and expansion until Il devel-
oped into a monster trust that con-
trolls the quantity and price Of all the
oil used in the United States. He
told by whom the industry was es-
tabllshed in q small plant. and how
IL prospered and grew until the
Arm could boast OF an extensive bus
mess. He then told Of the competi-
ton which the concern met with from
other institutions. and how II had
found It necessary in order TO make
the business q profitable one to puF-
chase these institutions and he told
of how one concern after another
had been swallowed up by his com
pany.
The testimony given yesterday and
today gave an indication OF what the
defense win be 10 the governments

support OF Il. that the Standard OH
company Is not the result OF an az
gressive policy on the part Of the

but that II is the natural outErowth
of an economic development which

manded.
In his examination today in reply
TO a question from the counsel for the
corporation he was asked n the un-
certainty OF the cost Of material had
not had a bearing on the expansion OF
the corporation. and he replied: Ger
tainly II did. and II exerted a great
influence in It's expansion, and II stIlI
has n most important bearing upon
It"
The questions then drifted from
this subject to the connection of the
Standard oil company with the Penn
sylyania railroad. He was asked II
he had not accepted rebates from the
road, and he created a sensation In
the court room when he admitted that
he had accepted on behalf Of the CON-
pany rebates. The growth Of the
company was then reverted TO. and
he carefully explained its expansion.

GIVES LABOR OPEN DOOR
Value OF Conference Held a White
House.


House.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s-Further
conferences at the White House co.
day between the president and the
president and the men who are prom
last night. Among those who saw the
tud OF the administration toward
proposed labor legislation a subject
OF keen discussion in Washington
tonight. Among those who saw the
president were Charles P. Neil, COM
missioner Of labor; United States At
torney Henry L. StimsOn OF New
York, attorney for the labor unions.
and Charles H. Sheriff an attorney
OF New York. all OF whom attended
the labor dinner at the White House
the evening before.
1t is learned from the highest au-
thority that the object Of the presi-
dent In giving q dinner to friends 4
labor and in holding the subsequent
conference was primarily to bring
about q better understanding be-
tween representatives of the govern
ment and labor leaders and 70 Inn
press upon the labor interests Of the
country the disposition OF the admin
istration to receive Its representatives
In conference on equality with all
others.
The desire Of the president 1t was
explained, was to have the Iaboring
man feel that he had the right to
present his grievances and demands
and to demonstrate that neither
the labor leader nor the millionaire
need come to the back door OF the
White House at midnight in order
to have a conference with the presi-
dent"
Justices Of the supreme court OF
the United States and executive ON
cials were invited to be present mere
ly to enable them to learn from the
leaders what the latter regard as
their needs. The occasion Is said
to have Afforded a free exchange Of
ideas and to have Deen Of ''illumi-
mating value to the president.
While we may not adopt labor pro-
gram at the close OF his administra-
ton, less he might thereby embar-
rass his successors, it is believed he
will set forth his view on the needs
of labor either in his annual message
to congress or in a special labor mes
sage submitted subsequently,.
The various conferences Of the last
two days are said to have brought
out more plainly than ever before
the desire Of the labor interests to
eliminate lawsuits m collecting dam
ages under the employers liability
law. 1t has been found, the labor
leaders claim, that the lawsuits re-
suit in benefit to lawyers only.

A. j. HORN, FOR
GER DISAPPEARS
One OF Gang Who Victimized
Many People.

A. ]. Horn, better known in the
city as Jack Horn, is wanted BY the
police on a charge Of forgery, and
though search has been made for
him they SO far have been unable to
locate his whereabouts.
FORCES Name Of Lowery.
The warrant for the arrest OF Horn
was issued out Of the court OF Judge
Chamberlin, and it charges him with
forgery OF the name of NJ. Lowery
to a check for $50 last Saturday.
The check was presented in payment
OF an account Of few dollars at the
Branson & Max Hardware store, and
the balance given him in money. 1t
was presented to the firm after bank
ing hours of that day, and the for
gerry was not discovered until the
first Of this week when it was pre-
sented to the Occur d'Alene Bank
& Trust company for payment. An
effort was then made by the firm to
locate Horn, but a search revealed
the fact that he had left town either
Saturday or Sunday morning.
Drank Heavily and was Eccentric.
Horn came to the city in the early
part of the spring, and was identified
with a man by the name of Hurt in
the sale of kitchen cabinets, and also
county rights for the same. The
partnership dissolved along the mid
die of the summer, and Hurt left
the country, and Horn remained to
make the collection of some notes
that had been given him for the sale
of the cabinets, and county rights for
them. After going out of business
he commenced to drink heavily, and
his excessive drinking seems to have
made him eccentric. While on a pro-
tracted spree some time ago he had
printed a number Of placards, read
ing, "The Oracle, Jack Horn which
he had posted in most of the liquor
establishments of the city. AS time
went by he continued to grow more
and more eccentric, and lately he
could be seen on the streets, or In
public places carrying on an animat-
ed conversation with imaginary per-
sons.
Wanted to Become an Author.
Lately he has been threatening to
commit some offense that would
bring about his Incarceration. He
has from time to time told associates
that he intended to commit some
crime for which he would be SEN
fenced to a term in the penitentiary,
and stated that when he did the crime
would be grave enough to keep him
there for a long time. Looking for
ward to that time he had mapped
out a work for himself, and stated
that while he served his sentence he
would write a BOOK which he felt
would be of vast interest to the pub
lie in general The officers of the
law now express themselves as sat
isfied that the opportunity has come
for the fullfillment of his ambition,
but are unable to apprehend him,
and it may be that his ambition to
become an author at the last mo-
ment waned and faded away.

TAFT WANTS
ROOT IN CABINET
Has High Opinion Of Secretary s
Ability as a Statesman
and OfIlciaI.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. 10
There was a conference at the Cot
tage on New York politics. general
political affairs and especially ne
garding persons and measures per-
tanning to the next administration.
The conferees were President-elect
Taft, Vice President-elect Sherman
and William Ward, national republi-
can Committeeman from New York.
While no one at the conference
wishes to be quoted on the subject,
It may be stated as the opinion of all,
that Secretary Root will be the sue
cessor in the United States senate to
T. C. Plat. This, of course, is based
upon the understanding that Mr..
Root wishes the place.
Judge Taft has made no hesitancy
from the first in giving positive ex-
preston to his desire to make Mr..
Root the premier of his cabinet. He
has said also that If his persuasion
could prevail the present secretary
Of state would retain that portfolio,
despite his senatorial ambitions.
High Estimate of Root.
"Mr. Root is prominently a states
man." said Judge Taft today, in re-
ferring to his cordial feeling and ad-
miration for the secretary of state.
HE has the most wonderful faculty
for planning for the future, both with
respect to domestic affairs and to in
ternational problems, of any one /
have ever known. He has such
plan for the development of our rela-
tiOns with the South and Central
American countries. Such plans
must, as indeed must those of true
craftsmanship in any direction, be
worked out step by step with patience
and time"
1t is understood that Mr.. Sherman
gave 1t as his opinion to Judge Taft
at the conference that Speaker Can
non would continue 20 hold his pres
ent Office in the Sixty-first congress.
Further details were unobtainable,
the explanation given by Judge Taft
being:
1T was a general talk regarding
many matters and persons, just such
talks as l desire and expect to have
with the party leaders and those men
Who had to do with the campaign,
and as result of which in the end
shall be able to form opinions and
make plans. There was nothing def
mite done, nor was the discussion of
. character that its publicity would
De either interesting or opportune.
President-elect Taft sent a cable
gram extending his hearty con-
sratulations to Cuba. through
Governor Magoon, on the conduct
and result of the recent election
mere. Judge Taft expressed doubt
mat he would go to Cuba to
witness the withdrawal OF the Amer
lcan and the Inauguration Of the
CUBAN administration. This func-
uon will take place Just about the
time when. Mr.. Taft said. he would
oe decidedly engrossed with the af-
iairs OF the administration.

Miss Eta Davis accident.

Last Thursday night between
the hours of II 1 o'clock, on her
way home, enroute on N. 9Th ST..
Miss Eta Davis was attacked
and severely heated by, it is
thought two men and a woman,
robbery being obviously their
mission, as her gold necklace
was taken by the culprits. Miss
Davis does not know, for certain
ty, being knocked into insensi-
bility. whether the parties are
white or colored, but believe
them to be white people. Miss
Davis was on her journey home,
1901 N: 4th Street, from the So
cial Sunlight club, which club
met last week at Goth and Ed
wards Sts., or Thursday instead
Of Wednesday evening. Being
late, but in time for the last car,
Sc proceeded to walk until the
car over took her, or to walk on
home.
Near this same spot day or
so previous, white woman was
severely beaten, with robbery as
the end sought.
Miss Davis is held in very
high estem by the entire popu-
lace, and hundreds of people
rushed to her home daily to see
her, bringing flowers and words
of cheer.
She is almost entirely recov'
cred however and at this writing
