CLASH AGAIN
INV United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10
"The bars are down and we are
trying to put you behind them"
angrily shouted Francis j. Heney
at Attorney Earl Rogers, OF the
defense in the Calhoun trial to-
day. Heney's outburst was oc-
casioned by Rogers taunt that
after the prosecutions announce
ment yesterday that the "bars
were down." the defense was not
allowed to introduce certain ex-
hibits bearing upon the case to-
day.
Rudolph Spreckels, who was ON
the witness stand, took part in the
controversy and informed Rogers
that ethe bars are down as far as
l am concerned" The exhibit in
question was, a transcript of prev
ious testimony of Spreckels.
Heney objected to it's introduc-
ton before being identified as an
official document. This was done
and he withdrew his objections.
Spreckels was on the stand but
a short time today and the most
interesting day of the trial is an
ticipated when he Is called as q
witness again tomorrow.

DECLINE
AS RESULT OF
ROGERS DEATH

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, May 19.-The re-
ports of the death of H. H. Rogers
of the Standard Oil company,
forced a general decline in stock
market share at the opening, but
the closing was in most instances a
fraction or two higher than yes
terday. Amalgamated Copper,
with which Mr.. Rogers had been
identified, was principally affect
ed by the report, shares showing
an initial loss of over a point, all
but fraction of which was recov-
cred later in the session.
The April report of Baltimore G
Ohio, showing earnings of $1.833,-
116, an increase of $72S,556, was
a big factor toward causing the
rally which appeared in the MARI
ket shortly after the opening.

COURT DEAL S HARD BLOW TO
INDEPENDENT PHONE cos

CLEVELAND, o.. May 19.-
The United States Telephone COM
pany today failed in its attempt to
secure legal relief from the alleg-
ed inroads made upon its long
distance agreements with local in
dependent companies by the Bell
concern.
The petition filed by teh United
States company, asking tempor-
ary injunction restraining affil-
iates of the Bell company from al
legged attempts to induce the inde-
pendent companies to violate their
existing 99-year contracts for long
distance service, was refused by
Judge Taylor of the United States
court.
The Bell companies named in
the. petition were the American
Telephone company and the Gem
trail Union Telephone company.
The defendants were charged In
the petition with operating a trust
in the restraint of trade.
That the decision given by
Judge Taylor sounds teh death
knell OF the Independent COM
panies. Is the opinion of Central
Union official, who said today:
"The independents have brought
about their own destruction.
There 10 not the least doubt In
our minds that the end Of tele-
phone competition Is in sight.
They brought this sudt in q last
attempt to save themselves. As

The rhino, the second killed by
the great American ex-president,

Roosevelt was riding in search

OIL TRUST
MACNATE:
DIES
Henry H. Rogers, Famous
Financier, Succumbs
to an Attack of
Apoplexy.
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire
Z NEW YORK. May 1a.-Henry
II. Rogers, one of the leading null
ti-millionaire financiers of the
famous Rockefeller group, died
this morning.
1t was not known that Rogers
was i'll. as he was at his office
yesterday and his death came as
a shock to his business associates
Apoplexy was announced as the
cause of death.
Rogers was stricken at $3.50
O'Clock this morning and was un-
conscious for some time before his
death.
When he was stricken, Mrs
Rogers summoned the servants
who called DR.. Fuller. the nearest
physician, to the Rogers home
The doctor responded to the call
in his night clothes but when he
arrived he saw that there was nc
hope of saving the great finan-
eier's life.
Ill for Years.
Rogers had been in poor health
for several years and in 1907 suf-
fered nervous collapse which re-
suited in rumor that he had
been stricken with paralysis. He
retired for a time and, after re-
gaining his health, returned to his
financial operations. Recently he
appeared to be In better health
than for several years and for the
past few weeks had abandoned the
medical treatment which he had
been taking constantly in the past.
Big Man I'm Oil Trust.
Rogers recently withdrew from
active connection with the Stand
ard Oil company, OF which he was
vice president and director, as well
as being one Of the heaviest stock
hdlders, and devoted his attention
to the construction of the Virginia
railroad from the coal fields to
tidewater. After completing the
road, which is one OF the most re-
markable lines ever built, Rogers
returned to New York from Nor
folk and a month ago went to his
summer home at Fairhaven, Mass.
He rested there for a short time
and then came here to resume his
business affairs.
Tentative plans for the funeral
we're made this afternoon. The
services will probably be held at
the Unitarian church of the Mes
siah Friday morning, DR.. Robert
Collier officiating. Burial will be
atNFairhaven.
Mark Twain arrived at the
Rogers home at noon. He was the
dead financier's closest personal
friend and is heart-broken over his
death. Tears were streaming
down the face of the aged humor-
list when he entered the house.
4 Rose Rapidly.
Rogers was 50 years of age,
having been born In Fairhaven,
Mass, in 1910. Fifty years ago
he sold papers in New Bedford
Mass, and later began his busi-
ness career as a clerk in his faith
er's general store. His start to-
ward wealth came when oil was
discovered in Pennsylvania. He
mounted rapidly to the top and
was worth many millions of dol
lars at the time of his death.
