Y, April 7.-The father and mother and two brothers of Mrs. Georgia Sampson. charged with killing her husband, Harry Sampson, were called to the witness stand today A sad figure in the courtroom was Mrs. George Sampson, mother of the mur- dered man.

 Through Mrs. Allyn. the defendants mother. the state brought out that Robert Hanson. of Niagara Falls. had written to Georgia, inviting her and friend. Miss Mildred CervOss. to spend a few days in Niagara Falls. Harry auarreled with his wife over the let ter.
 Mrs. Simpsons lawyers state that Hanson had written asking Mrs. Samp- son to act as chaperOne.

MISS TARbELL'S PATENT
 BEING |NFR|NGED UPON
Declaration by Chief Counsel for the Standard Oil Company.

St. Louis. April Miss Ida Tar bell is entitled to a patent on the al- legged Standard oil conspiracy of 1S79,' declared Lawyer J. C.. Milburn, the Standard Oil company's chief counsel. today, during his argument before the United States circuit court in the gov ernments suit to dissolve the Standard as a violator of the Sherman anti trust law.
 And" he added. turning toward Federal Attorney Kellogg. the govern ment here is trying to deprive her of it.
 Mir Milburn compared the Standard to the human body. with its many notifications. corresponding to the blood. and its pipe lines to the veins and arteries. ITO dismantle this corpor- ation," he said, would be to strike 1t dead. It is like the organism of the human frame. Every part of 1t Is so related to the others that to separate them would be to dismember and de- stroy it"
 Instead of being a menace to the independent refiners, Milburn declared, the Standard had always led the way and blazed the trail in the oil world. and the independents had to follow. as they had always done. Milburn will conclude his argument tomorrow.

The United States Into Two
 UnCOnneCted Parts WIRES WENT IN THE GALE
In the Evening Conditions Out of Chicago Were Growing Worse--Reports of Disaster From a Wide
 Area Had Been Received.

Chicago, April 7.-Wires east of Chicago as far as Pittsburg went down rapidly in today's gale. accord ing to the telegraph companies. Wheeling West Virginia, reported ev- cry wire down east of there. Of the numerous leased wires running east of Chcagp. but one was working this afternoon and conditions are said to be growing worse. In this city sev- eral persons received minor injuries from toppling fences and loosened signboards. Scores of piateglass win dows were broken.
 By far the most freakish whjm of the storm was to give a perilous ride to Samuel Holland, an elevated rail road conductor. Holland was seated on the runway of a box car on the Metropolitan Elevated when the roof was lifted by the gale. It maintained horizontal position and Holland went whirling away. He alighted over a hundred feet from the starting place none the worse for his eNperi- ences. The roof settled to the ground with comparative steadiness consid- ering it's weight.
 Friends among the train crew in- sisted that the conductor, must be in- ternaHy injured and took him to a doctor, but the physician confirmed the statement of Holland that he was not hurt.

 Tariff Bill.

Bq Combination of Insurgents
 and Democrats CRAzED BY STANDARD OIL
The Speaker In Vain Tried to Hold the Republican Forces Together Against a Proposition to Break Down the Amendment Rule.

Washington. April This was a bad day for the republican organiza ton of the house. By a coalition be- tween some republican insurgents and the democrats. the ways and means committee was bowled over and the advocates of free crude oil and it's products won a signal victory when an amendment by Mir Norris Of Ne b-aska. placing the insignificant duty of one per cent ad ValOrem on these articles. was adopted by a substantial majority.
 A decision of the chairman that amendments could not be offered to the oil schedule other than the one covered by the special rule of last Monday. which provided for the re moval Of the countervailing duty on crude petroleum and applied an ad yalorem duty of 25 per cent. was overturned. Not even a fervid appeal by the speaker, in an endeavor to rally the republican forces, was suffi- cient to stem the tide avowedly against the Standard Oil company By a virtually unanimous vote the coun- tervailing duty went out, as the com mittee had recommended. On all other propositions the committee was sustained.
 The barley schedule ran the gaunt- let without change. Tea and coffee were placed on the free list. A colo guy, at first humorous, but later re- sulting in personalities, developed be- tween MT. Stanley Of Kentucky and Mir Clark of Florida and was ternin- ated only upon the objection by MT. CTumpacker of Indiana that it was against the dignity of the house.

 Good progress is being made. and MT Aldrich, the chairman, said today that he could predict that when the bill was reported that it would be seen that the revision had been downward. especially upon the necessities of life.
