Mr. Kellogg developed from Mr. Tllford that an underwnndlng had been entered Into In ISM with several Independ ent refining eompanlea situated along tha Standard's pipe line whereby the Independ ents were to furnish a maximum quantity of oil each day to be divided among them selves, and the Standard was to take all the export oil refined by these Independents. "Is It not a fact that, before this agree ment was entered Into, the supply of crude oil which was being furnished to these In dependents was materially reduoed?" asked Mr. Kellogg. "I think it was," answered Mr. Tllford. Marketing- of Oil. Mr. Tllford was asked, why It was that the agreement between the Btandard and the independents was never signed, though It was drawn up. The witness said it was a verbal agreement and the written form exved as a rocord. Mr. Tllford said that a domestio trades ' committee In the Btandard Oil company had :harge of the marketing In the United Htates and that the country was divided Into sections: Tha witness said that the Standard com pany acquired control of the Paclftc Coast company of California In 1900, when the name was changed to the Standard Oil company Of California. The Taclflc Coast company, Mr. Tllford said, had been no competitor of the Standard company be cause It manufactured a lower grade of oil. Before the Pacific Coast company was ac quired, the witness testified, tha Standard distributed refined oil In California through the Standard Oil companies' of Iowa and Indiana. In Utah, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico, the Standard distributed Us products through the Continental Oil com pany, which obtained oil from the Indiana company. Mr. Tllford said that the Waters Pierce Oil company sold oil in the southern part of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. The Waters-Pierce company obtains Its oil from the Standard Oil company of Indiana, which has charge of the marketing of oil In Min nesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey markets Its prod ucts In the vicinity of Its refineries, said Mr. Tllford.

WOMAN TORTURED TO DEATH Zion City Sect Commits Murder in Cuting- Oat Deyil. CHLLDRDI Kill THEIR MOTHER Limbs, Stiffened with ft henmatUm, Wrenched tntll the Victim Dies Prostration to Follow. CHICAGO, 8ept. 50. Five people, mem bers of the sect of Psrhamltes. are under arrest In Zion City, accused of torturing to death Mrs. Letltla Oreenhaulgh, Sixty four wears old. a cripple1 for twenty years. In order to show tnelr belief in the religion they profess. Those arrested are Walter and Jennie Oreenhaulgh, the son and daughter of the woman, Harold .Mitchell, Mrs. Harold Mitchell and a Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Oreen haulgh had been for twemy years an In valid, suffering from paralysis and rheu matism. The sect of Farhamltes was founded about a year ago by Charles F. Parham, and numbers about 100 persons. Its mem bers originally belonged to Dowle's church, snd they believe In the gift of tongues, and especially In diabolical possession. It Is their theory that sickness Is an evidence of the possession of the body y evil spirits. The condition of Mrs. Oreenhaulgh con vinced her son and daughter and the three persons arrested with yiem that she must be possessed of the devil, and they deter mined to exorcise the evil spirit. The Ave knelt by the bedside, and after prayer, commenced their work. The arms of Mrs. Oreenhaulgh, stiffened by rheumatism, were Jerked and twisted about, in order that the devil might be driven out. The cries of the aged woman were considered to be those of an evil spirit, and were greeted with triumphant shouts. After a course of this violent treatment Mrs. Oreenhaulgh not only became so weak that she could not use her limbs, but became Incapable of making any motions. Then her neck was twisted, and for some time this treatment was kept up. Walter Oreenhaulgh testified at the cor oner's inquest that Mitchell and his wife recently had a "vision," in which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time to casting out demons from the sick. Demons Resist Strongly. Young Oreenhaulgh declared that his mother's consent was obtained before the treatment commenced. He declared that hypnotic- passes were made before his mother's face, and then followed the mus cular force, which, he said, was strongly resisted by the "demons." Mrs. Smith's part in the treatment, ac cording to the testimony before the coro ner's Jury, consisted in raising Mrs. Green haulgh'a head, and holding her while Mitchell and " his wife attempted to straighten the woman's limbs, which had been twisted by years of rheumatism. Oreenhaulgh broke down and cried as he told his story. He declared that for some time his mother bore the treatment bravely, but at last the agony became so great that she could not restrain herself, and shrieked "Oh, Lord, help me," a number of times. According to Greenhaulgh, Mitchell de clared that her cries must not be heard by outsiders, and he put his hand across her mouth to smother them. The Ave worked over tha victim until she died, shortly before noon. After that, according to Greenhaulgh, Mrs. Smith became the leader In a "resurrection scene." In this efforts were made to restore the dead woman to life. When these had failed the announcement of ber death was made. The case is being further investigated today by the authorities of Lake county. In which Zion City Is situated.

AUTO SHOW SEASON HAS BEGUN Hew Wlaton Motor tars snow Asset lean Supremacy, Says Alex ander Wlntoa. Tho show will exhibit at Omaha Beptem ter 2S and ?4, at 2M4 Farnam street. Alexander Wlhtoh, president of the W'lnton Motor C'arflags company ' of Cleveland, Is responsible tor the "Coast to coast" automobile show. Concerning It he says: "Constantly changing business condi tions demands new business methods. When automobiles were sold in New Tork and Chlcsgo more than elsewhere, two national shows were enough. But todsy the wholo nation Is buying cars, and I do not know why a resident of Omaha, for Instance, should be required to visit New Tork to sea the newest automobiles, any niore than the automobile manufacturer should take his cars to Omaha. Indeed, since the manufacturer Is the salesman. It seems to me the logical thing that he should exhibit his goods in Omaha." Mr. Wlnton's show cars will each carry two demonstrating models, an enameled chassis, a fully equipped exhibition model, and a corps of demonstrators. Upon arrival at each city the exhibit will be taken to the company's salesroom and thera dis played for ono or four days. One exhibition car will travel east from Cleveland, and on west. The western itinerary Is as follows: Toledo, Detroit, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, 8.. Louis, Chicago. Milwaukee, St. Paul. Min neapolis, Omaha, Lincoln, Uenver, Salt Lake City; Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco, Portland, TacomA, Seattle, Van couver, Winnipeg. The eastern Itinerary Includes: Pitts burg, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, Newburg, N. JT., New York Ci'y, Brcoklyn, Bridgeport, Boston, Taunton, Providence, Mlddletown, Conn., Hartford, Eprlngfluld, Troy, Albany, Syracuse, Roch ester, Buffalo, Toronto. In discussing present-day tendencies In automobile manufacture and design, Mr, Wlnton says: "If I Were not well con vinced that the six-cylinder car is far superior to previous types, I certainly would not have begun the manufacture of six-cylinders exclusively, as our company is now doing. Slx-tvllhder advantages are io fully acknowledged by automobile en gineers that it is Impossible to raise an argument.

That has been my constant aim for years. I am ready now to let the public Judge whether It be true or not, and Instead of asking them to go to Ntw York to see, I am having our new model brought to their home cities."
