they took It to supply the wants of

is that they took It to take care of

| Steele Scorchcd.
THE testimony of Stae Treasurer
Steele shows that he made demand
upon them. Sheele, though state
treasurer of this state, when asked
questions by us forgot everything
that was beneficial to the states
case, but when he was turned over
to the defense, he became as bright
as a dollar. We have had criminals
and criminals in this state before,
but never a Thorburn Ross, nor a
Burkhart, nor, sorry as ! am to say
| lt, a George A. Steele. Steele, the
elected and acting treasurer, sworn
to do his duty-there on the stand
forgot everything of benefit to us.
When he went into office, he gather
ed the money of this irreducible
school fund from the different banks
and placed It in the Title Guarantee
G. Trust company, one of the most
insolvent banks in the state of Ore
gon.
In his preoration, Manning stated.
81 don't know how many criminal
cases you have sat upon, but don't
doubt you have found poor unfor-
tunates guilty. who have had more
of justification for committing
crime than this defendant"

followed quickly on the frey ad-
dress of Manning, in part, as fol-
lows; After listening to the elo-
quent address of Mr.. Manning, ri
realize that should allow some lit
tie time for the effect OF his elo-
quence TO be dlspelled. Mr.. Man
ming suggests in his address that be-
cause OF having the case transferred
to this county, there must be some
thing wrong with the defendant, but
| would call the jury's attention that
a majority of the judges OF the cir
cult court In Portland realized he
couldn't secure a fair trial in Multi
nomah county because OF prejudice
and bias and for that reason had It
transferred.
Gentlemen of the jury, they
haven't even show evidence here for
the basis OF a civil suit, and you can
not find the defendant guilty unless
you are convinced beyond n reason
able doubt.
Kaiser then went on 10 plea for
his client, "as a man with a family:
passed the meridian of life and on
the western shady side of the hill,
which leads 10 the unknown.
Manning and Kaiser were both
by the court for using the
expression "penitentiary" 10 the
jury.
McCamant began his argument
shortly after IL O'Clock this morning
and had Just begun when the court
adjourned for the 'nnch hour. He
continued in the same strain as
Kaiser, urging that IL would be ter
rible TO "hnd that poor old man
guilty" He also called attention TO
the omission OF tn enames of Frank
A. Warren and VIM. n. Ladd in the
Indictment. although they were on
he board of directors. McCamant
alked well into the afternoon and
was followed by Judge Pipes, who

The defense first called Decater

that the money had ben paid into

Ross was then called to the stand

FIND $4,000 ITEM.
Something Apparently Overlooked by
l.. & t. Railway Officials.

A little item of $4,000 worth of ma
terial sold by the Leavenworth & To-
peka railway, and never entered among
the receipts of the company was dis
closed by the testimony taken at the
freight rate hearing at the Santa Fe of
fees. The information about the $40,-
900 item was brought to light by G. F.
Grattan, attorney for the state rail-
road commission.
The attorneys state that this $40, 900
item which was not credited to the
receipts of the company, will make up
a lot of the money which the company
claims to have lost"
The railway company claims that the
5000 item has been accounted for;
that the Leavenworth & Topeka re-
ceived other material in exchange to
the full value of the $4,000
The argument in the case commenced
Wednesday aftern Don. The state makes
it's principal fight on the proposition
that the Leavenworth & Topeka is
really not an Independent line, but is
auxiliary to and a part of the Santa
Fe and Union Pacific, which jointly
own it. 1t has been shown that the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific paid $780,
900 for the road, and then reached into
the Leavenworth & Topeka treasury
and took it out again.
The states case was presented by A.
E. Helm of Wichita and G. F. Grattan,
attorney for the railroad commission.
The Santa Fe is represented by A A.
Hurd and w. r. Smith.

Rockefeller. In December, 1872, Mr..
Rockefeller said, the producers union
and the refiners' association entered
into an agreement, the purpose of
which was Ito secure as high a price
for the crude oil as possible" and to
introduce an element of regularity into
the business which had been f1uctuat-
ing greatly. Mr.. Rockefeller said he
was unable to give the number of pro-
ducers in the union, but it included 4
large percentage of all of them, and the
ref1ners' association, included a large
proportion of the refiners.
BY direction of his counsel Mr..
Rockefeller noted that the agreement
fixed the price of crude oil at So per
barrel at common points. The opera
ton of that agreement, he said, stimu
lated an overproduction of oil beyond
what the refiners could use at that
price. The temptation was very great
with the producers to develop more
than they had promised to the refiners.
The ref1ners could only take as much
oil as the public would consume. AS
a result the producers violated the
agreement and sold oil under the price
which had been fixed THE agreement
did not last long" said Mr.. Rockefeller.
To secure better facilities and to
make shipments to Europe, the Stand
ard Oil company in 1873, purchased the
plant of the Long Island Refining COM
pany of Long Island City and began to
refine at the seaboard. The crude oil
was brought through to the refineries
by railroads. Mr.. Rockefeller said that
he recalled the Devoe Manufacturing
company of Long Island. which canned
oil and shipped it to the far east where
it was delivered on mule back. He
thought this firm was primarily
manufacturer of cans. In those days
all export oil was shipped in barrels or
in cans in boxes, and was called the
case oil trade.
To further extend it's markets the
Standard Oil purchased the Devoe
company and in 1873, bought about
one-half of Chess. Carley & Co, of
Louisville, which had a large domestic
business in the southwest. A year
later, Mr.. Rockefeller said. his COM
pany bought out the Imperial Refining
OIL company of Oil City, Pa. which had
been owned principally by Captain ]. ].

BANTER TO MANAGE.
The Midwinter Expositions VIII Be
Continued.

Topeka will have a Midwinter ex-
position again this season. This de-
| cision was reached late yesterday
afternoon at a meeting which was held
place of secretary of the exposition
company, which was held by the late
r. S Brigham, will be filled by George
w Banter of Lasalle, Ill.
For several weeks, since the death
of Mr.. Brigham, it was considered
quite likely that the Midwinter would
be dropped. 1t was largely through
the untiring efforts of Mr.. Brigham
that the exposition was made a sue
cess in previous years. No one SEEM
ed to care to assume the responsibility
for the big show, and hence matters
were in doubtful state for some
But the directors did not wish to
give up the Midwinter. Several days
ago a proposition was forwarded to
Mr. BANTER, former Topekan. Yes
terday the directors of the company
received Mr.. Bainter's acceptance and
this FASTENED the decision to maintain
the MidWinter. ~ BANTER was pres
ent in person at the meeting. For his
services as manager of the exposition
company Mr.. Banter will receive the
first $500 and the remainder will be
turned over to the association.
Mr.. BANTER will undoubtedly make
go of the project. He is well known
in Topeka where he has lived for four
teen years while he was connected
with the ROCK 1Sldnu GOdu NIL
ter has had considerable experience
that will be of value to him. He was
few years ago connected with the
management of the Gillis theater.
since that time he has been connected
with the Western Passenger associa-
ton.
The exposition this season will be
conducted along the same lines that
have heretofore made it success. A
large number of tickets will be placed
on safe in advance at reduced rates.
The directors present at the meeting
were: w. H. Davis, T. j. Anderson.
M. C. Holman, Samuel Lux. E. H.

park, in North Topeka, beginning
June % and ending July 4. The North
Topeka Civic Improvement club
made winning fight for the location
of the Chautauqua at Garfield, offer
ing to furnish the park, lights and
special police protection free. North
Topeka merchants also agreed to buy
5000 worth of tickets. The Civic I'm
provement club will manage the con-
cessions at the park, and give the as
ISOLATION a percentage.
1t was decided to employ w. l..
Stark as solicitor for the association,
to look after the sale of advance tick
cts. 1t is desired to sell $4,000 worth
of advance tickets. With that amount
of advance sale, the financial success
of the meeting is assured.
1t is the plan of the association to
rent or purchase permanent grounds
for the Chautauqua encampments,
and fit them up to be used as camp
grounds for any out door meetings
which may come to Topeka

LETTER FROM PU VI.
New Chinese Emperor Writes to Presi-
dent Roosevelt

Pekin, Nov 19.-Prince Ching, presi-
dent of the board of foreign affairs,
has forwarded direct to President
Roosevelt a personal letter in the name
of Pu vi, the infant emperor of China,
setting forth the crisis through which
the throne has passed during the last
week. Similar letters have been sent
to all the other powers friendly to
China. These communications make an
appeal for sympathy for and under
standing of the new rulers of China,
and emphasizes the efficiency with
which the events of the past week
have been conducted.
Several of the foreign legations here
have expressed their surprise and graf
ication at the manner in which the
government is managing the situation.
1t had been expected up to the present
time, that the death of the dowager
empress would precipitate trouble, but
the way in which the new government
has assumed it's responsibilities has
created confidence among the diplomats
and many of the foreign observers de-
clare today that China has done as we'll
under these trying circumstances as
could any other government confronted
with similar difficulties. The provinces
are still quiet and the governmental
machine continues to work well.

WHAT BUILDS CITIES.
Subject of w. j. BurkOwitz's Talk to
Jobbers' Association Tonight.


The Jobbers' and Manufacturers
association of Topeka will be made
permanent organization at the Ma
tional hotel tonight. At this time a
banquet will be given by the associa-
ton, followed by a series of toasts,
speeches and reports during which
time the permanency of the organiza-
ton will be an assured fact.
The Jobbers' and Manufacturers
association was formed in Topeka
last summer under the leadership of
Charles P. Adams of the Adams
Brothers printing establishment and
Samuel E. Lux of the LUX Commits
sion company. These two men fol-
lowed the example of the association
at Cedar Rapids, Ia, and formed
what is called the Topeka Jobbers'
and Manufacturers association. Sam
uel Lux was appointed chairman at
the time and it will be remembered
that for three days July Is, 6 and
II merchants numbering over 600
from all over the state of Kansas
came to spend the week with the local
merchants The success of this
meeting has confirmed the ideas of
the charter members and this evening
a rally will be held to promote en-
thus1asm in the project.
w. j. Burkowitz of the BurkoW1tz
Envelope Manufacturing company of
Kansas City, Mo-, will be the main
speaker at the meeting tonight. Mr.
Burkowitz was invited by the Topeka
association to make this talk and it
will be on 1.-The Spirit That Builds
Cities" This same man spoke on
1.-THE Spirit of Kansas City at the
meeting of the AID men in that city
not long ago and the Topeka men
who heard the speech declared it the
most enthusiastic and inspiring
speech on civic pride and prosperity
ever heard. Mr.. Berkowitz is a fine
talker and it is thought by the local
promoters that he will be able to give
life to the apparent deafness of the
city's citizens. .
Another important feature of this
evenings banquet at the National will
be the report of the chairman of the
association, Samuel E. Lux. Mr.. LUX,
being the prime promoter of the asso-
citation, has taken a great interest in
its welfare and to show the merchants
the value of the new advertising idea
suits obtained from the meeting last
summer in which so many Kansas peo-
pie took part.
The meeting tonight will be attended
by the regular association membership
which includes about fifty of the job
bers and manufacturers of the city. In
addition to these men rs prominent To-
peka men and merchants will be the
guests of the association. 1t is thought
that the effect upon the general bust
ness OF the CITY VIII pe LoI INC oet
especially if the guests get the fever
which will surely be contagious after
the presence of Mr.. Burkowitz of Kan
sas City.
The banquet will commence at $50
sharp. Halls orchestra will furnish the
music and after the speech by Mr..
Burkowitz and the report by Mr.. Lux,
prominent men in the city's affairs will
make short addresses. 1t is expected
that this Will be the keynote of great
upbuiIding of progress and business In
the history of Topeka.
