DEATH VALLEY SHAKEN.
An Earthquake Causes Miners to
 Leave the vicinity.

San Bernardino. Cal. Nov. 12.- Death Valley and the surrounding country are in the throes of a series of earthquakes which began thres weeks ago and the most violent of which occurred last Wednesday morn ing before daylight carrying conster- nation among the mining camps and resulting in many miners and pros peetors fleeing from the district.
 samuel Lawrence. one Of the first miners to reach here with details of the earthquake, said Tuesday that for three weeks past there have been orc or two rumbles daily. They have all been light with the exception of that which upheaved the district Wednes. day. The dismal crass of the Funeral range seemed to fairly totter when the severe shock came last week. Miners were tossed from their hunks. camp equipment was scattered about. horses and mules stampeded and im- mense boulders thrown down. At day break the miners commenced to leave.

While Attilius Regulus beat the Csrthagin- ians in Africa, the flight of his blow man reduced his family to distress at home. and the tillage of his little farm became the public care.

VORTHESTANDARD
OKLAHOMA PRODUCERS PRAISE COMPANY AND DENouNcE THE
 FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
KEEP CAPITAL FROM COMING INTO STATE
Witnesses Declare That Government Regulations Have Prevented Many Pipe Lines From Being 5uiit--one Witness Thought the Average In dian Shrewder Than White Men.

New York, Nov 13.-Praise of the Prairie oil & Gas company. a sub sidlary of the Standard oil company in Oklahoma. was coupled with de nunciation of federal regulations for the control of pipe lines in Oklahoma at Wednesdays session of the hearing here in the governments suit to dis solve the Standard Oil company.
 Counsel for the Standard opened fire early in the session on the rules the government has laid down for tho building of pipe lines through govern ment land and later drew from one of his witnesses, j. R. Greenlee, an Oklahoma oil producer, an expression of opinion that the regulations were passed to keep the Prairie company from building lines in the territory.
 George w. Barnes again was on the stand when the hearing opened. Asked his opinion Of the government organization making pipe line build. ing contingent on the consent of the secretary of the interior, who also has the right to suspend the license at any time, for cause" Mir. Barnes said he considered a man who would build a line under such conditions, subject to the '.whim" of the secretary of the in- terior, "a fit subject for an insane asylum" The matter was gone into In more detail. however. when Mir. Greenlee declared that capital had re fuse 10 consider the building of ad- ditional pipe lines. so badly needed by the territory. since the regulations had been put into effect.
 During his cross examination. Mir. Greenlee strongly denounced not only the pipe line regulations, but those controlling the relations between the lessors and land owners. The ob- clared. had retarded growth of the mid-continent oil fields through the fact that no person or company would construct pipe lines there under exist ing conditions.
 T know" said the witness, that If those regulations had been kept out of the way we would have all the pipe lines by this time necessary to pipe away our oil
 Then you would want no regula. tions governing the pipe line or regu- lations governing the relations be- tween the lessors and the Indians?'' asked MT. Kellogg.
 As with the Indians. mo-"
 How long would the Indians have anything left if there were no gov ernment restrictions?' the witness was asked.
 That would depend upon the Indian as we'll as the white man, replied Mir. Greenlee. There are plenty of In dians down there that could skin any white man in this room out of his eys teeth"
 Mir Greenlee said he would not ob. feet to regulations provided they were based upon ordinary business sense.' In particular he objected to the lack of right to appeal to court from the ruling of the secretary of the interior.

Washington, Nov. 12.--With few ex captions the interests affected oy schedule A" of the Dingley tarin which includes over 100 articles un' der the heading of chemicals, oils and paints" do not desire any changes in the rates of duty now operative. This was indicated Tuesday at the first hearing for the consideration or the revision of the tariff held before the house committee on ways and means. The hearings are preliminary to the taking up Of the question at the extra session of congress. Chemical prod ucts, coal tar products, chemicals, paints, oils. varnishes, medicinal prep arations and extracts for dyeing or tanning were the principal subjects on which the committee obtained in formation from those who appeared be- fore it Tuesday
 There were few requests for in' creases in the present rates of duty. nImber of those appearing before the committee were not prepared to present arguments for changes in the rates, and expressed a desire that the present schedule be continued. A strong advocate for lower tariff rates was Albert Plaut. who drafted the schedule for medicinal chemicals for the Wilson bill The duties on me- dicinal chemicals,' he said. "are most ly prohibitive, being in most cases 25 per cent which is a prohibitive rate. The duties are practically the same as the tariff of 1883. What was good for the trade then is not good now"
 In addition to recommending that medicinal chemicals now scheduled at 20 per cent ad valorem should be re duced to 15 per cent, MT. Plaut said that certain articles of a similar na- ture should be taken on the free list, naming quinine as an example, and recommending for 1t -5 per cent ad valorem rate.
 nish Manufacturers National associ- ation, declared that varnish manufac- turers of the country are satisfied with present conditions.
 H. s. wirdner of New York, repre- sent zinc interests of New Jersey; Mir Walsh. Alfred NJ.

Skiddy, represent ing the manufacturers of extracts for dyeing and tanning, and E H.

Walter J. Travis, golfing at Rye, sympathized with a friends story of a Drunken caddy.
 'Tt is amazing" said MT Travis, "how people with serious responsible ity on their houlders-butlers en- gineers. caddies and so on-will get drunk.
 He smiled.
 "A lady l know" he went on, came downstairs to see the flowers on the eve of large dinner, and found her butler staggering about the dining room with red eyes and disordered hair
 The man dropped cut-glass bowl and laughed, and his mistress cried indignantly:
 Good gracious. Parker, you're drunk"
