PLAYED STANDARD DOUl 49,.
Former EmPIOye says he Alb
stracted Valuable Papers.

A mild sensation was created yesterday
by the testimony OF r. c. Armstrong in
the Standard OIL case before an examiner
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Under cross-examination. Mr. Arm
strong. who is now engaged in business IN
Philadelphia, but who was formerly a
clerk in the Office OF the Standard. OIL
Company in Baltimore. admitted that
while so employed he had abstracted
papers from the Standard for the use OF
a man named Fazenfeldt. an agent OF an
independent refining company.
These papers showed the methods Of
the Standard in undertaking and fSnt-
ing its competitors. Mr. Armstrong ex-
planned that Mr.. Fazenfeldt was a friend
of his father; that he saw he was getting
the worst Of the competition with the
Standard. and that therefore he had
taken the papers TO acQuaint the inde-
pendent agent with the work which the
Standard was carrying one
Much OF the methods Of the Standard In

REAL SCRIBE TAKES PART
Miss Isabelle Joyce Is Lady Reporter
In Bluffs"
And the Real Thing as an Actress.
Takes Role Because Miss
SkipwOrth IL III.

Not every one who witnessed the clever
little play. Bluffs at the Columbia
Theater. yesterday afternoon. knew that
the real article had, in one part. taken
the place Of pretense. and that the fem
mime newspaper reporter. who came 10
interview the newly welded hero Of the
play, was not stage reporter. but the
genuine scribe in the person OF a more
or less well-knoSn reporter Of a New

Miss Allison SkipWOrth, the actress
who regularly plays the part. was taken
with bad cold that caused almost the
loss Of her voice. and still threatened

For those who know newspaper women

DENIES ALL REPORTS
Rev. Dir. Smith Talks OH the
Selection Of a Bishop.
CONVENTION MUST SETTLE IT
Asserts that All RumOrs of Possible
Action by the Episcopal Diocese
Are Wholly inaccurate and I'm
fOunded-DIsposes of All the Can
didates So Far Mentioned.

Rev. DIR. c. Ernest Smith. rector Of St
Thomas Episcopal Church. brands as
unwarranted the rumors in circulation TO
the effect that Rev. William Mercer Gros-
venor, rector Of the Church of the incar-
nation, OF New York, will succeed the late
Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee as Bishop
of Washington
The thirteenth annual convention Of the
Episcopal diocese meets in Washington
early in May. and the question as to who
will succeed Bishop Satterlee viii be de-
cided then by the clergy of the diocese.
Or. Smith says that until then it is idle
TO predict who viii MI the bshopric
He was asked II there was any truth
in the rumor that three other names men
toned in connection with the episcopacy
were Bishop Charles n Brent. Of the
Philippine Islands; Bishop William An
drew Leonard. OF cleveland. and Rev. A.
Maekay-smith. the present coadjutor Of
Philadelphia
Reports Are Mere Rubbish.
No he said, "these reports are mere
rubbish. and are circulated by men who
know absolutely nothing OF the affairs
OF the Episcopal Church. Until the con-
vention in the spring. nothing will be
given out in regard 10 the new Bishop
OF Washington by those who have his
election in their hands. the clergy OF the
diocese. There are $500 names 10 choose
from, and. as the election will require
long consideration. it is foolish TO say
that the name OF a successor has b-rn
mentioned by any responsible Episcopal
clergyman
Diocesan bishops and bishops cOadjutor
may not be chosen, as the canons OF the
American Church forbid such action. A
missionary bishop who has had five years
service may be chosen from this country
or any part Of the world.
1t Is easily seen that TO name Bishop
Leonard. OF Cleveland, or Rev A
Mackay-Smith coadjutOr Bishop OF Phil
adelphia. as the next Bishop Of Washing
ton is absurd. II Bishop Brent of the
Philippines. has served FIVE years in his
present capacity. he is eligible 20 the
office. but l am not in a position % say
mat his name is being considered"
Favorable Impression.
Bishop Brent made favorable impress
sion on WashingtOnians. Episcopal anu
otherwise, at his recent visit here. His
evident business acumen. coupled with
his eminence as a churchman. strongly
recommends him. II is known, too. that
his sane and capable administration of
church affairs in the Philippines has met
with great favor in executive circles

Are Many Novel and Interesting
Opinions on Happiness, Intoxi-

It is the uncertainty OF life that en-
vironment produces which enables us
10 enjoy life
While alcohol is bad for the human
system whisky is excessively good for
the alimentary secretons; the con-
stituent matters that go TO make up
the product overcomes the bad effects
OF the alcohol in it.
A man should be allowed TO take a
drink when so disposed; the saloon
frequented by men who get drunk is
the thing to prohibit,
Sparks OF wit and humor and pure mug
gets OF wisdom were thrown of and
handed out in a notable speech on
''Heredity and Environment" Of which
DR. II. w. Wiley. chief chemist OF the
Agricultural Department. delivered him
self last night as the orator at the so
cial night gathering at the University
Club
The scientist described. among other
things. changes constantly taking place in
plants and animals. saying:
after studying for more than twenty
years. I find that forest growth is
changed By soil environment 1t is also
noticeable that chemical compounds. in a
general way, change the species Of plants
as we'll as animals.
Time Must Figure IL Out.
Now. whether man can. like animals.
be entirely or partially changed in his
species by segregation is problem that
would probably take many centuries OF
experimentation"
The scientist incidentally added that the
animals existence is solely the result of
environment. and that man is a creature
of circumstances in a more limited de-
gree.
In describing distinct differences be-
tween Europeans and Americans. DIT.
Wiley said:
As man breaks away from environ
ments. as is noticeable in modern times,
racial instincts disappear.
In this country we are less distinct ir

cussing the influence OF environment

Tendency TO CrimInaIIty
"All of Us have the traits Of
cestors. Perhaps the most noticeaI
is that OF crime. which is disc

eence that corrects the evils mar

men have the same characteristics or

accidental changes, known as environ

Environment follows us through daily
