' NEW YORK. Sept. 2S. Cuban conspir
ators, whose plot to overthrow the provi
sional government had been thwarted ,by
Governor Magonn In Havana, attempted,
apparently, to use the World to further
their design. .
An unsigned cable of 182 words was re
ceived by the newspaper several hours be
fore the news of tha plot became public,
stating that a meeting of prominent mer
chants of Havana had been held Monday
night and a resolution had been adopted
to Inform .the World of the true state of
Cuban affalra. The message then said that
there .would be a general uprising today
and tomorrow. ,
fn language of alarm tha message told of
credit Impaired, property In danger and a
general anarchistic demonstration to follow,
all for the purpose of "causing an embar
rassing situation at Washington." It added
that If American troops shed Cuban blood
a general uprising and open war against
America will be Inevitable."
. Revolutionist leaders, the cable stated,
were known to have taken to the Interior
arms and ammunition and machine guns,
which had never been turned over to the
'provisional government. "Give this the
widest publicity possible and save the situa
tion," the dispatch concluded.
- , Inquiry as to the Identity of the sender
of the message disclosed that It was. "Mer
chants association, 80 Zoulueta street."
The dispatch bore evidence of having been
prepared by an experienced cable corre
spondent, but Investigation showed there Is
no such organization In Havana as the
"Merchants', association." The address
given I. that of the conaervative and ex-
elusive Cnlon club, and no knowledge of
meeting of merchants of any sort In
Havana could be lrned.

NEW TORK, Sept. ta-The pipe line sta
tion of the National Transit company, a i
Standard Oil corporation, at Centre Bridge, I
Pa., on the New Jersey state line, which the
company contends Is a terminal station,
was built In 1908 on the advice of John O.
Mllburn, of counsel for the company. Mr.
Mllburn Is representing the Standard Oil
company In the federal hearing now In
I progress In this city.
It la contended by the government that
the Centre Bridge station was bulit as a
nominal delivery point In 1908 to evade the
Hepburn act, which provided that pipe
line carriers shall submit schedules of tariff
te their terminals. It Is the government's
view that the company's real terminal is
Bayonne. N. J. In today's hearing Frank
B. Kellogg, for the government, asked C. M.
Payne, an employe of the Standard, who
advised the building of the delivery tanks
at Centre Bridge.
"I did," Interposed Mr. Mllburn, "for I
thought, under the law, that there should
be a delivery point there. I thought It ex
cellent advice."
"I don't," said Mr. Kellogg.
Mr. Payne, who has general supervision
of the pipe lines -f the Standard Oil, on
cross-examination testified that the pipe
lines of the New York "transit company, or
the National Transit company, which It is
sometimes called, were publto carriers and
as such, to conform to the Hepburn law,
built a delivery station at Unionville and
quoted tariffs for oil shipments to that
point. Mr. Payne said that thu pipe line
of the Standard from Unionville to tide
water was a private line and not amenable
to the Hepburn law.

The Standard Oil company has Issued tn
the last month 4,000.000 copies of Its pamph
let labeled, "From the Directors of the
Standard Oil Company to Its Employes
and Stockholders." The pamphlet is being
distributed not only to those to whom It Is
addressed, but sent broadcast among oil
consumers.
It Is given' away, through dealers, with
the sale of a gallon of oil. The pamphlet,
a summary of which was published a

In which he defends the 6-cent rate attacked
by the government.

C. M. Payne, who, with H. C. Folger, Jr.,
owns the Corslcana Refining company of
Texas, was on the witness stand again to-
day .to give testimony in the government
suit against the Standard Oil company and
gave further Information concerning the
pipe, lines ot the so-called Oil trust, over
which he has general supervision. Mr.
Payne said that at the terminus of the pipe
line of the National Transit company,, at
Centre Bridge, on the state line between
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where the
company quotes Its tariffs for shipment of
crude oil, there was a pumping station. .
"It Is not a delivery station, Is it?" asked
Mr. Kellogg after the witness hsd testified
that at Centre Bridge the oil from the pipes
of the National company was pumped Into
the pipes ot the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.
"It is a pumping station," answered the
witness.
"I show you a statement of the National
Transit company showing that tanks were
built In Centre Bridge In 190. What were
they forr
"For the purpose of making a delivery at
a delivery station," replied Mr. Payne.
"To whom did you deliver the oil there?"
asked Mr. Kellogg,, who contends that the
Standard Oil company has evaded the Hep
burn law 'of 1906, which provided that pipe
carriers shall submit schedules of tariff to
their terminals and that the real terminal
Is Bayonne, N. J., at Tidewater.
"To the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey," answered Mr. Payne.
"Do you deliver to anyone else?"
"No."
"No one else has asked for a delivery of
oil there?"
"No, not that I know of." said Mr. Payne.

LIPTON TO CHALLENGE AGAIN
Bitterly Diaapaolated at Refosal ot
Htn Ywk Clik, bat Is
Umi, y
LONDON, Sept. 38.-P'.r Thome Llpton
Is bitterly disappointed at the refusal of
the New York Yarht c!Jb to accept his
challenge for anolr series of races for
the Amerlc.in cup. Slr Thomas said he had
been led to bellevt that if he challenged
under the universal rule for races in the
United States, there was every possibility
of his challenge being favorably received.
He added, however, that he had not given
up hope of sending a yacht to. Sandy Hook
In 1908, and already had telegraphed to
William Fife, .the designer, to 'come to
London for a consultation. There was but
one thing which Sir Thomas was emphatic
about, and that was that he would not
challenge under the old rule. One reason
for this Is that there is no designer of
note In Great Britain,, which includes
both Fife and 'Milne, who will design a
boat similar . to the previous Shamrocks.
They say that to do so would necessitate
the production of evon a greater freak
than those which have already gone to
defeat. Besides, the danger of sailing such
a boat across the Atlantic mus.t be taken
Into account and Sir Thomas Is not pre
pared to again risk the lives of men In
such a venture.
Sir Thomas, however authorised the As
sociated Pres today to say that he la
prepared to. challenge with a ninety-foot
boat under the New York Yacht club rules.
"In sending the challenge," said Sir
Thomas, "I conformed with the deed of
gift of the America's cup, which says that
sloops must be over sixty-five feet on the
water line and under ninety feet. I ad
hered In this respect to size, ..Inasmuch ,as
the boat 1 rhellehfred ' with would have
been about seventy-six, feet on the water
line. This also Iconforms with the New
York Yacht cluss rules for the 'class J'
boats. 1
"I am prepared, now that they have
declined to accept rhy challenge for this
class of boat ' to enter a ninety-foot boat
under the New York Yacht club rules
There is no class expressly defining such
a boat, but tne new class, n provming

Hotel men and other men Interested In
the welfare ot Omaha generally, and the
Ak-Sar-Ben festival in particular, read
with disgust the statement In th ssfron
topped sheet Wednesday that all hotels
were now full and turning away atranger
who wanted to secure accommodation, dur
ing the Ak-Sar-Ben festival.
"This Is the very sort of rot that hurts
our city, and hurts our fall festival," said
a business man. "The Idea that at the out
set, before the crowds really begin to come,
our hotels should be filled Is mere non
sense and 'the publication of such a silly
story can have but one effect, namely, to
tend to keep people away who would oth
erwise come and enjoy with u. thl. grout
annual festival. We have more hotel ac
commodations than ever in the history of
the city, and better, and we shall be able
to car for all our guests. If this shtet
really wanted to help Omaha and the Ak-Sar-Ben
It would not allow any of t fakir,
