This ended Mr.. Roekefellers cross-ex-

On redirect examination Mr. Milburn
asked
Have You ever at any time sought to
influence any railroad with respect to its
rates or supplies with reference to the

This ended the redirect examination.

ArchboId Called.
John D. Arehbold vice president of
the Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
was then called to the stand.
After telling of his earlier experiences
in the oil. industry. Mr.. Archbold said
the introduction of refined oil for domes-
tic use was most difficult because of OPP
position of the public as a result of its
odor and burning qualities. From 1870
to 1915 the multiplication of refineries
brought about surplus which caused
wide fluctuations of prices of oil. There
were no systems of reserve or storage
he added. Speculation in oil stocks was
rampant and even the price of oil was
speculated in, which demoralized the bus
mess and made it hazardous for the man
ufaeturer. The management of gathering
lines was very bad, said Mr.. Archbold
Counsel for the defense then sub
mitted a map of the pipe lines in 1869
which was placed in evidence. Maps of
the pipe line situation in 1874 and 1877
also were submitted in evidence
Mr.. Archbold said he had nothing to
do with the organization of the National
Transit company in 1881. That company
was organized by Standard interests to
take over existing lines. which Mr.. Arch
bold named. He gave statistical informa-
tion of the total mileage OF the Stand
ards gathering and trunk lines, which
was in 1882 3515 miles. in 1899 1853 and
in 1908 54,616 miles. This Increase with
the exception of one purchase. was
brought about by construction of the
Standard. Wherever oil was discovered,
said Mr.. Archbold, the pipe lines were

Pioneer. )-County Attorney Scrib-
ner and Sheriff DeLury of Walker
came to Cass Lake yesterday, having
in their custody the two Finlanders
who made the desperate attack on
their companion at Bena, the fore

jury on the charge of assault in the
first degree. IS

orously against being held to the
grand jury, saying that the past
time of cutting their companion
was just mistake; that they did
not mean to harm a friend; just
wanted to white him down to
their size.
The men were taken to Walker
this morning, where they will be
held in the Cass county Jail to await
the action of the next grand jury.

assaulted is Veranga. He is con-

HEARST STATEMENT
SAYS EITHER HIMSELF OR BRYAN
 SHOULD AP0BOGIZE.
The Editor Gives The Exact Words of
 afr. Bryan When The Alleged OneF of Support Was


 Atlanta. Ga. Sept. I5--william R Hearst tonight gave to the Associated Press a statement in regard to the denial made by W. J. Bryan of the statement made by MT Hearst at the notification of John Temple Graves of his nomination for the Vice Presiden- cY by the Independence Party. The statement follows:
 "0f course MT. Bryan cannot deny having been at my house. because Mir. Chanler in his suit made affidavit that he saw him there. Of course, he can not deny that he met me at the dinner, because Dr. Gardner and Mir. Murphy, of Mark Cross. were present at the din- ner at Dr. Cox.s house at which I found MT. Rryan. ,..ts -is
 T wouldn't have mentioned pr. Cox's name. but Mir, Bryan has seen fit to do so. Therefore the whole truth might as well come out.
 After dinner. Mir. Bryan drew me aside in the hall while Dr. Cox politely entertained the other gentlemen.
 MT. Bryan said: I think I can say positively that I will be the next Dem ocratic nominee and I believe will be elected. l intend to serve only one term. If you support the Democratic ticket. you will naturally be the nomi- nee next time, and If you support the nominee this time, I will, of course. support you in the next campaign
 If this statement Is susceptible Of any other construction than the one put on 1t. then l should arolpgize to Mir Bryan, and if 1t is not susceptible of any other construction, then Mir Bryan should apologize to me-
