Ceilings Tells Of Subornation
of Perjury Charge
INDICTMENT WASQUASHED
Taking Of Testimony Continues in the
Governments Case Against
the Standard Oil
Company.

New York, Sept o.-The Standard Oil
hearings which are being held at the
custom house before Special Examiner
Franklin Ferriss were resumed yesterday
morning, &. T. Ceilings, vice. president
of the Standard OIL company of Ken.
lucky, who testified first on Friday, was
again called and was under examination
by Mr.. Rosentlial, the Standard OH com.
pany's attorney, during the entire morn.
ing session.
Mr.. Ceilings testified that the Stan.
dard business in indianapolis some years
ago had fallen OFT despite the growth
OF the city and that the Domestic Oil
company had been formed there by the
Standard to get back the business. 1t
was openly Standard Oil concern.
The facts about an indictment that
was returned against Mr.. Ceilings in Iii.
nois a few years ago came out in testi.
mony. A discharged employee OF the
company in Illinois had sworn that Col
lings had been mixed mp in a certain
transaction, when, as a matter OF fact,
he had not been in Illinois for some
years prior 10 the time OF the supposed
transaction. MIR. Ceilings was in Ohio
at the time, but Gov. Deneen would not
honor the requisition for extradition.
Questioned by MIR. Rosenthal, Mr.
Ceilings said the indictment was on the
ground of subornation of perjury, lie
testified that he never stood trial on such
a charge. The order OF nolle PROSE-,
issued in Tazewell county, was offered
in evidence.
Even though this indictment was
quashed. it is said TO have caused many
squabbles between the opposing lawyers
in the past.
The Standard of Kentucky never re.
fused any oil, said MIR. Ceilings. Tank
wagon business in his territory amount
ed to 64.l7 per cent. OF the entire out
put. A very small portion, less than
per cent, was sent out in milk cans.
Oil was distributed mainly by tank
wagons from the storage stations. Tank
wagon sales are made direct to the dealer
for cash. In certain seasons of the year
the roads were so bad that it was neces-
sary to transport the oil in milk cans.
Mr.. kellogg, apparently wcaried by
the line OF questioning, stood looking
out OF the window for some time and
then paced up and down the room.
A long explanation of the methods of
doing business in his territory, with ex-
haustive figures, was given by Mr.. Col
lings Mr. Ferriss nodded during the
recital Of percentages and Mr.. Kellogg's
assistants yawned. Mr.. Ceilings told
what percentage OF the oil was sold in
iron barrels, what percentage in wood
barrels; how much business was of in,
terstate character.
All figures given were Of the year 1906.
There has been practically no change in
the volume of business since that time,
said the witness. OF the total business
Of 1906, 30 per cent. was in naphtha
and gasoline.
Examiner Ferriss adjourned the hear
ing at 1880 o'clock, to be resumed at
o'clock.

$4,000 EXPRESS PACKAGE STOLEN.
Entrusted to Company by Bank Presi-
| dent, Mysteriously Missing at Port
land, Ore.

Portland, Ore. Sept. "a package en-
trusted to the care Of the Wells Fargo
Express company at Salem, Ore, by j II.
Albert, president OF the Capital National
bank OF that city, and addressed to
Joseph NJ. Meyers at the Portland hotel
in this city, containing notes and other
valuable papers, representing over $780,
600, Is strangely missing.
That the package reached Portland
from Salem on the Southern Pacific train
arriving here at 1890 o'clock on the
night Of Aug. q has been established be.
yond doubt, but what became of it after
that@ hour would be welcome news to
the express company, to Joseph Meyers,
and Mr., Albert of Salem.
As soon as the robbery was reported
to the express company detectives were
put to work, and that their efforts to
unearth clue to the perpetrators OF
the robbery have not been entirely I'M
successful is indicated BY the following
statement OF Superintendent BeckwitA
Of the Portland office OF the Wells Fargo
Express company:
I'VE have detectives at work on the
case, and will never let up until we
eaten the thief, no matter how long il
may require We have some clues. but
what they are we are not ready to make
public"
How the theft was accomplished is
almost as great mystery to the ex-
press company as is the identity of the
thieves. The package was taken from
the Union depot office, they believe. some
time between 1880 p. m, Aug. 81. and
1880 a. m, Aug. p. During these hours
the nen in the express office are rushed
with work, and it is possible that the
door of the Office was left open for a
few moments, and that the thief slipped
in and took the package.
When Albert intrusted the valuables
to the express company, he specified $40
as its value, and for that reason the
package was not placed in the eompany's
strong box. From the best information
at hand it is understood that the pack
age contained ie9elry, promissory notes,
and other papers, valued at over $4,000.

BRYANT FOR CONGRESS,
Hepburn's Secretary Is Understood
to Be a Candidate.

Information from the eighth congress.
sional district is that James Bryant.
secretary of Hon. w. P. Hepburn, will be
a candidate for congress before the re-
publican primary of June, 1910, with a
a view to defeating Congressman w. D,
Jameson. provided, of course, the con-
test contemplated by Colonel Hepburn
is not carried on and Mr.. Jameson does
not get in as he expects.
Other candidates will be J. B. Harsh,
of Creston, ]. q. Jamison, of Lucas county
now and formerly from Clarke county,
Judge H. M. Towner and probably A. |.
Smith, of Ringgold, who, two times, has
gone into the primary. Dan Turner of
Adams county also has been mentioned
as q probable candidate for the repub-
lican nomination.
Mr.. Harsh already has announced his
intention Of entering the race. 1t is
we'll understood among the politicians
that Messrs. Jamison and Towner will
also be in the field, although there is
gossip that Senator Jamison might con-
slider the judicial vacancy if Judge
Towner were nominated for congress,
and not go into the congressional pri-
mary.
The remarkable success of Albert E.
Dawson. who was first in Washington as
the secretary of Congressman George
M. Curtis and later was secretary Of
Senator Allison, has been cited BY
friends Of Mr.. Bryant as a precedent for
his elevation.

MISSOURI'S VOTE is $4,000
SMALLER.

A feature which has not been explain
ed since the election is the fact that
Missouri cast over $4,000 more votes at
the presidential and state election four
years ago than it did this year. At the
State election, two years ago, there
were 10000 more votes than there were
this time. These figures are taken from
the figures compiled by the state demo-
cratic committee and are reliable.
The stay home vote is not confined
to the democratic party, for while the
figures show that the majority of the
$4,000 were democrats, yet the number
of republican votes which were conspic-
uous by their absence was strikingly
large. Every democrat in Missouri be-
lieved that the democratic vote would
be larger than ever before and the dis
crepancy is absolutely mystifying to
the leaders of both parties. No one can
explain this peculiar falling off, and no
one, until a more close analysis Of the
vote is made, will attempt to offer sug-
gestion. 1t is an assured fact, however,
that had the full strength of the demo-
cratic vote been polled, the result in
the state would have been different and
the mysterious stranger" would not
again have paid visit to Missouri.
