MUST PRODUCE LETTERS
COMMUNICATIONS OF STANDARD
OIL OFFICIALS WANTED.
Government Attorney Kellogg Gets Or.
der From Federal Court for
Documentary Evidence.

New York, Sept. 11.-Frank B. KEEL
logg, special deputy attorney general,
who is prosecuting the governments
suit against the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey, resorted to the United
States circuit court Thursday to force
the production of letters he had pre-
viously demanded from c. T. Ceilings,
second vice president of the Standard
Oil company of Kentucky. The gov
ernment's lawyer obtained from Judge
Ward a subpoena ordering Mr.. Col
lingg to produce the missing letters.
This was served on the Standard Of
fetal as he left the witness stand
where he had been testifying before
Special Examiner Franklin Ferriss.
The letters demanded by the gov
eminent are about 40 in number and
were written by M. Maxon, a Standard
agent, to the late W. G. Elliott, for
merly stenographer in Mr.. Ceilings
Cincinnati ONCE. They dealt with al
legged sums which the government
charged were paid BY the Standard OIL
company Of Kentucky 70 its agents for
the purpose Of buying Information as
to competitors shipments. This In.
formation, in some cases, the govern.
ment alleges, was bought from railroad
employees, oil inspectors and others.
This, however, is denied by the Stan
dard OIL company.
On being served with the subpoena
Mr.. Ceilings said he would not say
whether the letters would be produced
or not until he had . chance to confer
with counsel. The court order states
that the letters must be produced in
court on Monday morning at 1880
o'clock. Mr.. Kellogg also demanded Of
Mr. Ceilings that he produce oil the
books and papers showing the gross
earnings, the net earnings and the vol
ume Of business done recently by each

4 consistsnt Christian With 10 Spot
Upon His Record Of Private Con-
duct and Public ssrvise.
To dispose of questions which should

u ray that Mr.. Taft 10 q member Of
the Unitarian church. That was thu
church Of bis parents, and he has never
separated himself from It. His wife,
however, n an Eplscopalian. and he
worships more often beside her in her

These are tic facts, which are utter

matter Of a mans religion has no right

for the presidency. The constitution
Of the nation, ordained and established

places the very suggestion Of such
thought outside the pale Of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country's fundamental law,
"No religious test ever shall be re-
qulred as a qualification TO any Office
or public trust under the United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr..
Taft's religious belief shows simpf the
extent to which his enemies have 1one
to rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole

A RUSTIN VERDICT
coRoNER's JURY UNABLE TO FIX
BLAME FOR OMAHA PLY.
sIclAN's DEATH.
CHARLES \. DAVIS ARRESTED
Bank Clerk Formally Arralgned and
Released on Bond--Aecused
Subject to Fits Of
Insanity.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 10.-"Dr. RustiK
came to his death by a pistol sho
fired by a person unknown" is thu
verdict Of the coroner's jury which
took up the greater part Of two day.
hearing evidence. The jury recon
mended that Charles H. Davis, who
was Tuesday implicated by Mrs. Abbie
o. Rice, be held and that his conduct
on the night Of September 1 be thor
oughly investigated.
The verdict followed deliberations
lasting ~ hours, during which the
Jurors had before them the evidence
as Transcribed by shorthand reporters.
Davis was taken into custody late
Wednesday afternoon and Immediately
taken before Justice Of the Peace
Crawford, where, after arraignment,
he was released on bond signed by
his brothers.
Following Tuesdays sensational tes-
timony, Davis was placed under sur
veillance at the home of his brother,
where he remained until Wednesday
afternoon awaiting the action Of the
coroner's Jury.
Wednesday It was stated by Fred
erick e. Davis, brother Of the man un-
der arrest, that Charles H. Davis had
been afflicted for about 10 years with
spells Of insanity, and that they had
come on him periodically since that
time. He has on three different oc-
casions been placed in sanitariums,
and on at least three occasions, &C
cording to his brothers statement, has
been violently insane. On his last re-
turn TO Omaha the afflicted man was
given employment in the bank, in the
hope that occupation Of his mind in a
manner which would not tax his men,
tai strength, might result In relief. He
has been In the bank since early in |
August and was apparently perfectly |
well until two weeks ago, when he
again showed signs Of mental aberra-
ton. This was particularly noticeable
IN mutterings to himself and queer
actions.
His brother at once sent him to DR..
Frederick Rustin for treatment and he
was being treated by that physician
Of the time Of DR.. Rustln's death.
Frederick H. Davis does not believe
bis brother had anything to do with
the death Of DR.. Rustin and Wednes-
fay stated his belief that the physician
bad implicated him simply to attract
attention from the real cause Of death.
which he considers a plain case Of
Iuicide.
Mrs. Abhe Rice, whose sensational
statement caused the jury to investi-
rate the Davis story, Is also detained
until further investigation can be
made.
The testimony taken Wednesday
was merely for the purpose Of con.
llrming the details Of certain evidence
given Tuesday. Neither Mr.. Davis nor
his brother appeared at the inquest,
and nothing Of sensational character
was brought out, although one Juror
declared the evidence Of Charles
Davis whereabouts during the last
half Of the night Of the shooting was i
unsatisfactory. Davis will probably be
given a formal hearing in a day or ,
two, but the time has not been set. I

by local Chinese and situated at the
entrance to the alley on the north
side of lower Douglas street. Two
Cinnamon, Familiarity known as
I'VE" and f'Park" were also arrested

ed bonds of 500 to appear in Jns-

tion.
The girl gave her name as Natella
Cole, which she admitted was ficti-
tious, and her age at 90 years. She
made no attempt to deny her guilt.
She says she arrived here from Cali
fornia on the end of the month and
ever since has been consorting with
a number of local Cinnamon. Only

she leave the house and then only
at night. She declared that the
Chinamen were frequently visited by
