NEW FIRE SIGNALS
CAUSE CONFUSION
Members of Department I'm
able to Decipher Code
of Alarms

With the issuing OF the new book OF
fire signals by the fire commissioners
yesterday there has been considerable
confusion in the department. 1t is hard
to decipher from the new code whether
the chief is ringing off for lunch or the
Mission district is burning down.
The book is supposed to explain what
the alarm bells mean. It is print
ed in telegraph code, and to one
not familiar with the system il
resembles. as a fireman remarked. a
cross between page from Euclid and a
translation by a Russian exile of the
Confucian maxims. So far nobody ir
the fire department claims to know
what the writings mean, although they
are all staying up nights studying the
system.

VIRGIL P. KLINE,
WM. Z. ELLIOTT,
Attorneys for Standard Oil Company
RECALLS OLD BILL


Tolles then recalls the bill Of in
formation filled in April, 1899, by Mon
nett in The supreme court of Ohio,
which he says was merely a rambling
statement in which nobody was named.
He recalls the fact that % days later
Monnett filed a second document nam
ing c. B. Squires. who, Tolles says,
never was connected with the Standard
oil company. Tolles asserts that
Squires publicly denied the charge in
a signed statement and that Monnett
had asked Squires the privilege of nam
ing him as the briber. TolleS, after
calling attention to tie fact that Mon
nett'S documents We're ordered stricken
from the record, says:
Mr. Monnett has chosen TO connect
nv name with an order preventing his
taking further testimony. The order
to which he refers had nothing what
ever to do with the bribery charges.
A master commissioner had been ap-
pointed by the court, before whom the
parties were TO take all their evidence
in the main case. In January, 1899, he
filed a motion to have this order
rescinded and the witnesses brought di-
rectly before the supreme court. That
application was met by an answer and
affidavits.
Upon full hearing the court ordered
that he discontinue the deposition pro-
ceedings and complete his evidence be-
before the commissioner as the court
had already directed him to do.
This is the only basis for the charge,
which is utterly false and untrue, that
there was any suppression of the TAX
ing OF testimony. The charge is equally
false that the court or any member of
it had any information from counsel,
and at the hearing it was SO stated to
Mr.. Monnett
The statement has appeared as
emanating from Mr.. Monnett that 23
boxes of daybooks and ledgers had been
burned. This statement is absolutely
false There was no evidence at any
time that a single daybook, ledger or
account book of any kind whatsoever
had been burned at all. and the deposi-
tions which Mr.. Monnett took in his
effort to establish that fact utterly
failed in their purpose"

DooDLE DEE ARG1TMENr

The doodle dee party lawyers yester-
day filed evidence with the supreme
court in the effort of the Hearst league
to establish its identity as a political
party, and its. right to two seats on the
timony taken was simply in the nature
of establishing the number of votes east
by each of the parties in the 1906 cleo
ton The court ordered the case sub
mitted on briefs.

MONNETT'S CHARGES
OF BRIBERY DENIED
Attorney for Standard Oil Gives
Company's Side of the
Matter
Recalls Bill of information in
Which Only Rambling State
nlent Was Made

CLEVELAND, Oct SIS. H Tolles,
member of the firm of Kline. Tolles &
Gof, attorneys of the Standard oil
company, tonight issued a statement,
giving the Standard oil companys side
Of the charges of attempt to bribe F.
S. Monnett, formerly attorney general
of Ohio.
Tolles declares that the statement
that Monnett had been offered and de-
clined a bribe to drop his prosecutions
against the Standard oil was first made
public by George Rice In 1899. He says
that Monnett first denied the charges,
but afterward was said to have ad-
mitted their truth. Tolles declares
that in March. 1899. the Standard OIL
company, through Elliott and Kline,
sent Monnett an open letter which, af-
ter reciting the statements made by
Monnett and quoting interviews in
which the former attorney general of
Ohio had intimated that the attempt to
bribe him had been made by a friend
whose name he would not make public,
says:
so far as any connection OF the
Standard oil company with any attempt
TO bribe you is concerned, it is totally
false.
You have the names, or claim to
have, not~only of the friend who ap-
preached you, but also of the others
acting with him, because on the 14th
inst. you said in the public prints that
these men were telegraphing you from
New York
while nothing in your story has di-
restly connected the Standard oil COM
pany with the attempted bribery you
have desired the public to assume
such connection. We now demand thai
you give the name or names of the per-
son or persons who made such an offer
to you, claiming to represent the Stand
ard oil company that we now take
steps to quiet this last most vicious OF
the many false and sensational stories
TO which you have given currency. Re-
spectfully,

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Aug. IL. lWS.
The receipts OF wool for this week were
49, bales foreign and go 10 bales domeS-
tic. against 1858 bales foreign and 81 .1OS
bales domestic for the same time last
year.
Remarks: The wool market is rather
ouict, hut there is an undertone of firm
ness due to the general Improvement Of
business in all lines. While business is
better. there will be no extensive move
ment bv the manufacturers until the re-
suit of the Presidential election Is known
and the trade can have some assurance
as to the general policy of the next adj
ninistration. AS the new woods are open
ed there is general satisfaction express
ed because, the quality of the medium and
staple woods more than meets eNpe"ta-
lions and higher values are being found
than was anticipated when the clips were
secured in the west Even the clothing
woods are showing up well. and if pros
poets materialize. the woods that can be
handled on the french combs will be well
bought up at no very distant date.
