batons presented, who were backed by files
of firemen. On either side, stretching for a
block on the sidewalks, were the cadeta

by Lieutenant Koch, immediately guarded
the hearse. Despite the rain the scene was
extremely Impressive.
Because of the muddy condition of South

He lived the life of contest. Ha died as

of his conduct
it was not a question or

character. It was the secret of his great
personal and political popularity. This loy

sometimes It seemed to plunge him Into
the abyss of error and wrongdoing, but it
cemented friendships that remained firm

Nr.W YORK, March X-John V. Arch-
bold, vice president , of the Standard Oil
company, was the principal witness In the
hearing conducted by Attorney General
Hadley of Missouri before Commissioner
Sanborn. In response to Mr. Hudley's di
rect question: "Who is the active head of
the Standard Oil company?" Mr. Arch bold
replied that "there was no master mind" In
the Standard Oil, that it consisted of "an
aggregation of individuals."
Mr. Archbold also volunteered the state
ment that John D. Rockefeller had no de
sire to evade any questions, that Mr. Rock
efeller, knew nothing about the matters
concerned .in- the present suit, but that If
Mr., Hadley wished to go to Lake wood and
question him he would find Mr. Rockefeller
willing to gqswer any questions. Mr. Had

Wade Hampton, general auditor of the
Standard Oil company, .testified that ho had
on various occasions sent men from his
office In New York to St. Louis to audit
the accounts of the Waters-Pierce Oil com
pany arid that while so employed the men
were on the payroll of the latter company.
The same couise was pursued In auditing
the books of the Standard Oil company In
Indiana.

Mr. Archbold said that John U. Rotke
rener is president of tne Btanaarfl oif com
pany, but has taken no active interest in
the business affairs in some years, owing
to 111 health. He has an office at a) Broad
way, but Is seldom there.
Asked concerning -the stock of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, now In the
name of Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Archbold sulci
If was the 2.750 shares formerly held In the
names "of the Standard Oil, trustees
"Are you familiar with the product of
oil In this country?" asked Attorney (Jen
eral Hadley.
' "I am."
"What is it."
"The dail; production o crude oil In the
t'nlted States is about 0,000 gallons, and
the Standard Oil produces about one
seventh." . '
"And about the refined productt"
. "The Standard Oil probably soils arid
markets about 70 per cent of It. And I
want to add." continued Mr. Archbold,
"that wherever there- la a Standard Oil re
finery in t lie I'nited States there Is compe
tition refinery Interests In the section
There Is a great deal of competition in the

la greatest In the big oil region of Penn

' The wltne told of, the Standard Oil in
terests in the new flelda of Kanaas, and
said that the Standard Oil company did not
control the oil aituatlon there. There were

Mr. Archbold said that he knew R. P.
Tinsley and that he Is conencted witU Jthe
Waters-Pierce OH company, but the wit
ness had never heard him designated as an
agent, nor had he ever heard of Walter
Jennings as an agent. The witness be
lieved Tinsley left the Waters-Pierce com
pany to go with the Standard Oil company,
and now is on his way to Japan.
"He left for Spain about the time, or a
little, after, this suit waa Inatlruted last

"Mr. Tinsley's departure hud nothing to
do with tills suit." answered Mr. Arch,
bald; "ubaolulely nothing."
"I am not suggesting that," rejoined At
torney General Hadley; "I am asking when
he left for Spain."
' I think It was some time last summer,
but 1 don't recall the exact date'-
Wade Hampton testttied In the Missouri

MILEAGE EXPENSES FOR GENERAL WOOD

Detailed to the Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON. March 3i. Secretary
Taft discussed today with the Semite com
mittee on military affairs the recom
mendation of the- president regarding the
distributing of army nfllcers among the
army posts. He criticised the present sys
tem, saying thst It Is deficient In that It
does not afford officers an opportunity
for exercising command over large forces.
He attributed the system to the fact that
In the. earlier days many posts were de
sirable on the frontier and said it Is diffi
cult to discontinue a system once es
tablished. Yet., he said, there Is a ten
dency toward an Improvement as seen In
the establishment of regimental posts In
this oonntry and of brigade posts In the
Philippines. Forts Riley. Leavenworth,
V. A. Russell and Sam Houston In this
country can, he said, be esslly transformed
Into brigade posts. At all those posts
there are large reservatlona while to es
tablish large posts In -the east would re
quire vast outlays to secure maneuver
grounds. One exception In the eastern
states Is Fort Oglethorpe, In connection
with which the Chickamauga battle reser
vation could be used. It Is not the pur
pose to do away with the small posts,
sal8 the secretary, nof would It be neces
sary to do so. He said that for tllO.mo
he could buy l.TOti acres of land near Fort
Sam Houston and he thought this Invest
ment preferable to further improvement
at Fort Clarke, also In Texas, and said the
money could be taken from appropriations
already made for military posts.
Mileage for General Wood.
The secretary thought there would be a
change In the present method of including
everything In the army transportation fund.
Senator Overman here brought up the
subject of travel pay, especially as to
the payment of General Wood's expenses
on the occasion of his visit to the I'nited
States from the Philippines last summer
for tho purpose of having a surgical opera
lion performed. Secretary, Taft said the
first Information he had that the general
desired to come to Boston for the opera
tion waa received In a cablegram from
General Corbln, who said that Wood was
suffering from Injuries received seven years
ago In the line of duty,' and he asked
secrecy because lie did not want to alarm
General Wood's mother. Wood was
granted leave Corbln and he went to
Hong Kong on" -the Bnford, which was
sent there for repairs.' The Injury making
necessary the operatimi was received by
striking Ida hesd against a chandelier
while he was in Cuba. ' No bad effects
were felt until the service in the Philip
pines began. H wn's then attacked by
severe cramps and the surgeons In the
Philippines attributed the difficulty to pres
sure on the brain. ' The Philippine surgeons
"declined to tin9ertake the operation and
issued a certificate recommending Jiia re
turn to the I'nited States for the purpose
of having the-skull trepanned.
"I met General Wood In Chicago. He
explained the circumstances and in accord
ance with the enstom In the- army I ordered
him to Boston aa the proper place for the
operation." '
Placed ' Italy Status.
The general tilaluod that he had no
means except his salary and suggested that
he be put on tfuty Wtattis, which the secre
tary told him could be done, his aide, Cap
tain Dorey being permitted to accompany
him. They had not traveled on a transport
because of the crowded condition of those
vessels and vouchers for mileage were Is
sued for the transportation of both the
general and his aide from Manila to Bos
ton, via Hong Kong, but the mileage from
Manila to Hong Kong was rtdueed because
of the use of the transport.
The secretary said that the Boston opera
tion was not entirely satisfactory to the
general's friends in the United States, In
cluding the president, accordingly the gen
eral remained here from July 7, when the
operation was .performed, until August 24,
when, at the suggestion of the surgeon, the
president Issued an order directing General
Wood to return to the Philippines, via
London, for the purpose of consulting a
specialist there. Accordingly Military Scc-
Lretary Alnsworlh Issued an order directing
General Wood to proceed to London, on
confidential service, which the order said
had been explained to the general by the
president. . Secretary Taft said the allow
ance came under the regulation for pay
ments for public duty. -. He contended that
an officer was as much nt public duty
when protecting his health as at other
times. Senator Overman called attention
to the fact . that General Wood first left
Manila "on leuve,'" but the secretary said
the rcguhutons fully cover the circum
stances. He did not consider the allow
ance of mileage from Manila to Hong Kong
and from Hong Kong to San Francisco as
legal. He had barn absent at the time
the allowance wai, made, and upon review
ing the case he had reversed the former
finding, and directed that the mileage al
lowance be changed so as to make It an
allowance for actual traveling expenses.
The entire trip of Wo.1 and his aid around
i the world had, he said, cost the govern
ment about $3,iwi.
t.eneral Corbln Turned Down.
"Uo you know of any other olficer who
has.Usveled on a liner and had his ex
penses paid instead of using a transport?"
asked Senator Overman.
This question, at which the .witness
laughed alou.l, h followed by another
Inquiry as to whether General Corhm had
done so. He replh i rtiai Corbln hid nut.
"He applied for an order, hut I did not
give It."
In this connection he referred to his
Inst summer's trip p the orient, saying
that he had told the army officers that on
that trip they would ls allowed thfir ex
penses hut not mileage.
"When we got to Hong Kong." he said,
"I received an order ftotn the president lo
I to ' anion to Interview th viceroy cn
' ,,,e 'ojcott and the ofTWra Hcci-iimmued
rpe In uniform. Subsequently I gave them
an order for pay for their mileage on that
trip, supposing that It covered only their
expert to Canton; but I found afterward
that it 1.4il been construed aa covering the
entire trip to San ' Francisco. When this
ass explained to me I made a new order

CAPON REPLIES TO CRITICS
EeTolutionary Priest Will Sue Detractors
for Damages for Slander.
ADMITS HE VIOLATED RULE OF CHURCH
.Money tilven hy (Government for I ae
of Hla Party Said to Hue
Been Stolen by As
sociates. ST. PKTERSBL'RO. March M. - Father
Gapon, In a frank open letter today, replies
to the attacks on his public nnd private
life, announced that he has Instructed his
lawyer, M. Margolin, to bring an action
for defamation of character against his
detractors and denies the charge of be
traying and abandoning a girl while he
was a prison chaplain. Gapon explains
that, refusing to follow the rule of the
orthodox church prohibiting the remar
riage of priests, which he declares drives
the clergy to secret Immorality, he took
to his bosom at, his wife a girl whom he
loved, and that she Is still living with
him.
Continuing. Gapon declares that of the
16,ori0 which Premier Wltte gave through
former Commerce Minister Tlmlriaieff for
the restoration of the Gapon labor organ
he only received S3.5m, all of which was
used to help (ho workmen. The remainder
was stolen by Mathushensky, the press
agent and real director of the Father
Gapon movement, who was arrested at
Saratoff nnd brought to St. Petersburg for
trial.
Regarding the iiarge of gambling at
Monte Carlo with "mysterious money"
Gapon says:
"During the. bloody uprising at Moscow 1
received . money for literary work and
while abroad, out of simple curiosity, 1
played for small stakes. A review of my
connection with the workmen's movement
will prove that I never was an agent of
the government and that T labored solely
In the Interests of the workmen.
Conferred with Count Wltte.
"When he returned to St. Petersburg
Gapon admits that he communicated with J
Count itte, who gave lilm permission it
live here, considering that his work was
"constructive and not destructive."
Gapon- concludes with an expression of
his firm conviction that history will dem
onstrste that "the unfrocked pope" lived
for his country to the last drop of his
blood and 'died a sentinel over the rights
and liberties of the workmen and op
pressed. The letter made a good Impression, but
Gapon'a sincerity is sneeringly attacked
by the Russ. which calls Gapon a friend
of General Fullon, former chief of police
of. St. Petersburg, and a pensioner -of
Count Wltte.
Emperor Nicholas, In receiving a deputa
tion of peasants from Koxan province to
day, employed a new and stionrer tone.
He said nothing about satisfying their
land hunger and spoke only of the in
violability of property, informing the
peasants that a recurrence of agrarian
dlsordera and the destruction of property
would not only be punished In the most
severe fashion, but! the communities par
ticipating In th disorders would be de
prived of the assistance of the peasant
banks.
The papers continue to he rilled with
rumors of Premier Witte's resignation,
which, they say. has been offered to the
emperor, but not acted upon.
The Reach says that Prof. Ntcholaky. a
notorious leader of the Black Hundred, has
been appointed by Interior Minister Dur

Interior at ' a salary of tn.OH).
