Says His Food Was Fresh

The luncheon at Vallejo on Saturday
noon was prepared and served by the
Leon Cohn catering company, 74S Central
avenue in this city.
When seen last night Cohn, who was
in active charge of the affair." was at a
loss to explain how ptomaine poi
son could have resulted from the
victuals served at the meal He de-
clared that all of the food served had
been purchased on Thursday and Friday
and was fresh He secuted the idea
that the salad and sandwiches were
poisonous or tainted, and declared that
the trouble may have been the result
of we'll water, which had been drawn
in buckets from a nearby well. Cohn
said:
1T can not be possible that the food
I served was responsible for so much
sickness, for it was the freshest that
I could obtain and it all came from
this city. The shrimps l purchased from
the Union shrimp company. and the
other meats bread and butter. from
we'll known local firms. ] believe that
the water caused the trouble I know
that the stuff causec much biliousness
and nausea"
According to Cohn the quantities of
food used for the luncheon were as fol-
lows Shrimps. 10 pounds; tongues.
four dozen; hams, % dozen bread 500
loaves; butter, 200 squares, and Is

Shown in Court

NEW YORK, Dec 7.zFigures show

OIL company became part of the court
record IN the federal suit to dissolve
the standard today when John d. Arch
poid resumed the stand for brief
examination and Henry Tilford, presi-
dent OF the Standard oil company of
1ailornla, testified at some length as
witness for the defense.
Inc government inquisitor. on figures
submitted, showed that the Continental
company, Standard subsidiary in the
middle west, made profits of lis per
cent on Its capitalization of $500 000
and that the Standard oil company Of
indiana, on a capitalization of 81, 000,-
600, earned about S55, 100000 between
1899 and 1906. Counsel for the COM
pany declared the actual assets of the
company were greater than the capi-
tallzation, as the companies had turned
back large sums for earnings.
Counsel for the government sought to
prove by TilfordI that in California and
other western states the Standard had
made contracts with competitors where
by it obtained all the oil supply
Tilford said the Standard paid about
$4,000 for the Pacific coast oil COM
pany, which was succeeded by the
Standard. The Pacific coast oil COM
oil day at its refinery in Alameda
county. California, said Tilford, and
the Standard built refinery in Rich
mond, Cal, which has a daily capacity
Of $4,000 to 10000 barrels. The pro-
duction of crude oil had developed in
California from 3,429,390 barrels, in
1900, TO 40,0S5,000 barrels in 1907.
Tilford told of the difficulties of re-
inning California crude oil which had
been eliminated by Standard methods.
The net assets of the Standard of Cali
fornia, said he, in 1906 were 1000, 600.
Referring to oil trade rate cutting in
Colorado and elsewhere, Tilford said
the Standard never cut prices to under
sell its competitors. but lowered rates
to meet the reductions of its rivals.
1t is likely Tilfords examination will
be concluded tomorrow, and either
John d. Rockefeller or Frank S. Mof-
fett viii be called.

in L and Case

E. Z. Perrin, convicted of securing
timber land by fraud and sentenced to
one year in the Alameda county jail
along with fine of $4,000, was refused
by the United States circuit court of
appeals Yesterday the privilege of fill
ing an affidavit made by c. P. Shell,
who testified against the. defendant in
the original case.
The court refused to allow the added
facts to be made a part of the record
OF appeal because the affidavit was
only a copy of the original. and be-
cause Judge de Haven, one of the
members of the court of appeal was
the trial judge who heard the action.
According to Peter f. Dunno. attor-
ney. for Perrin, Smell has denied in his
affidavit many facts he testified to as
true at the time of the trial. Smell
vas an attorney and was employed by
Perrin in selecting the timber land
which eventually led to the undoing of

desire of Dunno to file the new state
ment as part of the bill of exceptions
presented TO the higher court.
