from subsidiary companies of the Btandard
Oil company. 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. Oil Is shipped from the re
fineries to the distributing stations In tank
cars owned by the Union Tank line, a sub
sidiary company of the Standard.

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.

Labor Workmen Back at
Old Scale.
GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 20.-The strike
of tho Southern Pacific dock workers
ended last night. The steamship company
had 250 negroes at work on the wharves,
and was bringing In more negroes dally.
The strikers saw they would be replaced
by colored labor, and at the solicitation
of the citizens' committee decided to work
at the old scale of wages. The company
made some minor concessions, but the
wage scale remains unchanged, 'thirty to
forty-five -cents per hour.

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. Constant power, absence of
vibration, great power In reserve, wonder
ful flexibility, less Weight per horse power
all that the motorist desires, he finds In
the six. And In our own construction we
show actual , simplicity, all working parts
housed and lubricated, combined with al
most Instantaneous access to all working
parts. We have eliminated complication.
We use a single coll In company with a
magneto, the price of which along' Is a
guarantee of superior excellence.
"This new model of ours will serve to
prove American supremacy. 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."

A car of asphalt sent from California
several weeks ago, billed to the Omaha
repair plant, Is lost and as a result the
operation of the plant Is crippled. The
car has been traced as for as Pueblo, Colo.,

in buying a small lot of asphalt from a
local contractor and with this material
some Imperative repairs are being made.
The work of the plant for the year la

members of the gang are sure of employ
