Small Concerns Shut Down.

From a list read by Mr.. Kellogg the
witness identified fifteen small companies
which Mr.. Rockefeller said were pur-
chased by the Standard, and he said he
believed twenty to twenty-five concerns
were bought in Cleveland.
How many did you keep in operationE'
al could not say"
Were not most of them dismantied?''
The smaller ones were used in con-
struction and the larger ones were con-
nected with our plants"
Mr. Kellogg called attention to the pur-
chase of Porter, Moreland & Co, and
Bennett, Warner & Co, together with
Easterly & Davis and John Jackson, and
asked Mr.. Rockefeller if he did not pur-
chase them.
The witness said the Standard Oil in
terests bought the property of Porter,
Moreland & Co. and Bennett. Warner &,
Co., and conveyed it TO the Acme on
company.

INDICTMENT IN
UTAH BANK CASE
ENDS IN N0UGHT
Continued from PAGE 1.

Booth said last evening that he woIli6
gladly turn over all of the evidence ana
the papers in the bank robbery case 10
the state courts.
a. B. Irvine. attorney for Nelson, said
last evening that both he and his client
were ready and anxious for a trial of
the case on its merits. I'VE had pre-
pared fully for the case" said Mr.. Ir-
vine, and it had been our intention TO
insist on a trial on Dec. Z, the date set
We are confident that the outcome
would have been favorable and that II
would have resulted in a complete vim
dication for Mr.. Nelson"
Nearly ten months have elapsed since
the robbery of the Utah National bank
was first made public. On Feb. 9. W.
5. Mccormick in an authorized public
announcement placed the loss at S43, 900.
Later il was learned that the exact
amount stolen from the vaults of the
bank was $106,250,
During the investigation il developed
that the first discovery of the fact that
there was an irregularity was on Jan.
; last, when il was learned that the
combination lock on the reserve chest
of the Utah National bank was not
working. For several days the vault re-
manned locked because the combination
failed to work. On Jan IA the vault
was forced open and it was learned that
the bank had been robbed. For about
three weeks the robbery was kept
secret.
Exhaustive investigation.
Pinkerton detectives were employed on
the case for months, although apparently
but little Roadway was made toward
solution of the mystery. Through the in
strumentality of National Bank Examiner
Beattie the case was finally presented TO
United States District Attorney H. Z.
Booth, who laid the matter before the
| federal grand jury. The grand jury be-
gan an exhaustive investigation of the
case on April %. About the same time
several employees Of the bank were dis

The federal grand jury continued its in

Archbold's Testimony.
Mr.. Kellogg then read from Mr.. Arch
holds testimony in which he stated that
the Acme Oil company was an indepen-
dent oil company and not owned. con-
trolled or affiliated with the Standard.
Was the Acme Oil company an indie
pendent concern in those years
The stock OF the Acme was held by
several gentlemen"
WAS the stock of the Acme acquired
in the same way as the Standard Oil COM
pany of Pittsburg?p
II could not say"
What became of the stock of the Acme
Oil company on its organization
1T was held by individuals, / should
say Mr.. Pratt. Mr.. Archbold and Mr.
Frew, and held until 1T was turned over
TO the trustees, Villas, Keith and Chester =
Whom did the individuals hold this
Acme Oil company stock for?''
Controlled by the Standard.
For the benefit of the stockholders of
the exception OF some shares for smaller
stockholders. I should say that SOS 600
out of 5000 was held for the Standard. I"
Mr.. Rockefeller said that the Acme Oil
company undoubtedly was operated as an
independent concern until after 1882. and
that John D. Archbold managed il for
a time He did not know when Mr. Arch
bold became a shareholder in the Stand
ard He had nothing 10 do with the ne
gotiatiOns for the purchase of the Ameri-
can Lubricating OIL company and the
Mica Axle Grease company of Cleveland,
but thought that none of the members of
these companies became stockholders in
the Standard. Whatever stock in the EN-
pire Transportation company was owned
by Stone & Fleming was purchased nv
the Standard, but Stone & Fleming con-
tinued to operate as an independent con-
Germ The witness said he thought the
stock of the Camden Consolidated OH
company was purchased by exchange of
stock with the Standard Oil and stock of
the American Transfer company was oh
tained from J. A. Bostwick in the same
manner The Standard also secured stock
of the United Pipe Line
Trust Agreement of 1879.
The trust agreement of 1879. Mr.. Rookie
Teller said, was made for the purpose az
holding those stocks for the benefit of the
individuals for whom they had been ae-
quired.

were held for the Standard or for fnfli

FALLS FROM TRESTLE;
 RECOVERY DOUBTFUL
ChaIeS Madden, Shift Boss at Irish Mag, Unconscious
 at Late Hour.

: Charles Maidru, shift boss at the Irish Mag, is lying in the Copper Queen hospital as the result of a fall from a railroad trestle. From F o'clock midnight until o'clock this morning. his condition was slightly improved, though he was still uncon. scious. His recovery is doubtful.
 Maiden was injured about o'clock yesterday afternoon, while he WIS walking the trestle just above the CZar shaft. His foot slipped, and he plunged to the bottom Of the dump, a distance of twenty-five or thirty feet Although he was an employe of the C. & A. he was hurried to the Copper Queen hospital. which was near. and medical attention immediately given him
 |, Tn the opinion of the physicians, he is seriously injured internally. While they would not commit themselves, they were of the opinion that the chances of recovery were against him However, his condition late this morn, ing. as was stated, shows a slight i'm provement.
 Maiden was on his way home frCm work at the time of the accident Hs lives on School Hill, has been in the camp a number of years, and is vel known here.

BIB BENEFITS
 RESULT FROM
 TIE CONGRESS
immigration Commissioner Ed. Williams Back From the Albuquerque Meeting-Co-
 chSe Made Good Showing.

Ed Williams, immi grafton commits sioner for Cochise. is very enthusiastic over the National Irrigation Congress waich he attended at Albuquerque, and while he does not think that Co., elise county did herself full justice in the exhibit which she sent there. is still of the opinion that great good will result to this section from its participation in the event. Williams dis tributed several thousand pamphlets among the visitors to the congress.
 Cochise county failed to win the prize for the best mineral exhibit, ss she could undoubtedly have done had the proper effort been made. This award, a fine cup, yalusd at $500, went to Yavapai county. Cochise was handicapped by the fact that the ex- hibits from here and from the Sonora mining district were combined. con trary to the rules of the competition.
 The next meeting of the congress, for which the date has not yet been set, will be held in Spokane. A strong, and it is thought, successful effort will be made at the Spokane meeting to bring the congress for 1910 to Arizona. Williams was very much impressed with the showing
 made at the congress by Spokane, which in his opinion, had the best ex- hibit. A feature of their advertising was the giving away of car loads of fine apples, on wlich the visitors anu members of the city feasted.
 Representative from all sections of the world, and especially South Afri- ca and the South American countries, were present. In an address before the meeting one of the representatives l of the South African interests made the statement that land wiich ten years ago could be bought for twenty ! five cents an acre, was worth today no less than S400 an acre. Owing to the deep grades that prevail in South ! Africa, the storage of water is a diff
 cult problem
 Albuquerque was dressed in her best regalia to greet the advocates of | irrigated land, and made most favor able impression. The electrical dis play at night was decidedly novel and
 splendid and made a decided hit with | the delegates. Military and other i bands, including the Mexican national ! band and one from Salt Lake city, ad- | ded much to the enjoyment of the oc-
 casion, and entertained the guests of Albuquerque at all hours of the day and night.

LITTLE MAKES OVER 64 MILES AN HOUR
 IN BIG HANDICAP
Terrific Speed Maintained In Long Island Automobile
 Contest.


 MOTOR PARKWAY, L. l., Oct. To- One relieving feature of the dead mo Ifotony from the spectators point of
 view in the Long Island Motor Park
 way sweepstakes was speculation as to whether the terrific pace begun by
 Herbert Lytle in his Italian car would be held without accident to the ma chine and without some slow lap
 wsich would cut down the pace aver &ee. Biit he was able to maintain his
 nigh powered drive tc the end and a
 record of more than 64 mles an hour
 stands as the fastest the country.
 The nearest approach to it was Hem ery's in the aYnderbilt race of 1905, of approximately 300 miles at a rate of CHA miles an hour.
 Europe has the worlds record of 66.25 miles an hour.
 Lytle's record is notable, not only in showing skill, but monstrating the
 suitability of the track for high time
 work. The track also showed special l freedom from causes for accidents. | Except for the oyerturning of Karl wright's machine in Jericho and a | broken arm sustained by Miller's me chanic, no one was injured and there were only trifiing troubles with ma | ehinery and tires. There were no collisions or even narrow escapes.
