ARCHBOLD ON STAND
INTEREST IN STANDARD OIL HEAR
 ING WAVES.
Led by Ills Counsel the Magnate Tells
 of Petroleum PrOduction--Pro-
 ceedlngs Adjourned Until Monday

New York, Nov. 25.--Detailed ip% nation On the magnitude and e r. sity of the business of the Sta ard oil Company was given by John D. Archbold. yice-president of the com pany. on the resumption of his testi- timony today in the hearing of the Federal suit to dissolve the oil combi- nation.
 Mir. Archbold asserted that 1t was the Standard which. by eliminating the jobbers and retailers, stepped in and greatly reduced the price of oil to the customer.
 The hearings were adjourned today after brief session until next Mon- day when Mir. Archbold will resume his testimony.
 That even those closely identified with the Standard in its early days did not recognize It's future possibili- ties, was bought ont today when Mir. Archboid said that in the eight ies. fears were wide spread that the supply of crude oil would be depict ed. and that accordingly. he parted with some of his trust shares at seventy and eighty cents rsn tho dol lar.
 < Much of the day was spent in spreading upon the record figures showing the production and consump tion of oil in the period of years be- tween 1882 and the present time.
 Mir. Archbold did not think much of the possibility of the mid-eonti- nent oil fields when they were discov- cred and caused a laugh when he re- called that at the time he said he would undertake to drink all the oil they produced" These oil fields produced 6o.000 barrels day. and MT Archbold said that he was mistaken in his early judgment

 Colonel Cooper listened during the reading of the indictment and at it's close. Judge Hart asked:
 Are you guilty or not guilty?
 Not guilty" was the answer. in clear voice.
 Robin Cooper was next called and the indictment against. him read in the manner of the preceding one. His answer to the usual question was in low voice. heard scarcely beyond those immediately about him.
 Mir. sharp was called. and the in- dictmeht charging him with murder of Senator Carmack was first read and the usual question asked hlm., His reply, given in a loud voice, which could be heard all over the room was: Not guilty. sir"
 The indictment charging him with being an accessory before the fact was next read and in the same manner and words he entered his plea of not guilty.
 No request for admission to bail was made Counsel for defense attempted to have the case set for the January term of the court. but Judge Hart al lowed the States request for December 8. Continuing, Judge Hart said;
 ''Afr Sheriff. you may remand the prisoners to jail"
 They left under charge of the officers in the order in which they entered, and at once returned to their quarters in the county jail.

 "I am returning to Korea and not leaving" said Mir. Holloway, ''or I would talk. It would be one of the most startling stories ever published If competent newspaper man was sent to Korea and the real condition of Japanese oppression told to the world. It would make every white man revolt and turn against the Jap anese. Neither the government of the United States or England knows of the dishonesty and lack of principle of the Japanese"

Statement by Governor.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 25.-The fresh outbreak of lawlessness in Tennessee. which occurred at Tiptonville last night. was tonight made the subject of a public statement by Governor Pat terson. He declares:
 The cause was not in the laws de- lay or the uncertainty of punishment. but simply the act of infuriated men who were aroused to desperate ven geance against the murderers of the officers who had been sent to arrest them,
 Bad as the lynching was we should not forget that these occurrences are mobs have heen formed and committed far worse offenses in other sections and some of these are quite recent.
 The Governor further asserts that the negro is. as a rule, safer tp the South and better treated than anywhere else in the country. The Governor de- nIores the lynching at Tiptonville and saws he will offer aid of troops if the Sheriff finds himself unable to make arrests without them.
 "In the south" he said "the ven- geance of the mob is appeased when the guilty offender Is dealt with and if does not extend to the negro as race. but in the North the mob has often been indiscriminate and the in- nocent have suffered with the guilty. Ii extends to the race and is therefore more destructive and harder to con- troI in its widespread results. :"
 Continuing. he says:
 ..In the South we have had the night rider and the terrors he bears for neaceful citizens. but in the. North is inc anarchist who is opposed to gov ernment itself.
 Both are public enemies and should be treated as such, but as between the two the night rider is to be preferred, for when a halt Is called to his depre- dations he may become a good citi-
