SEW YORK, Oct. 14 Alfred II. Bralnard.
comptroller of the Standard Oli company
of New Jersey, jind many of Its sub
sidiary companies, was questioned today
when called aa a witness in the govern
ment's suit against tlio oil combine, con
cerning large loans made to James Ale
Donald hy the Anglo-Amrrlcan Oil com
pany. Testimony was given last week that
the Southern I'lpe Lino company had
loaned over fcO.OuO.miO to Mr. McDonald and
that this books of the company showed that
It had never been paid back. Mr. Uralnard
said thai. ho wus the American secretary of
the' Anlo-Ami rican company and that Mr.
M. -Donald was the managing director in
London. He whs asked concerning loans
inado by the Anglo-American company of
JJ.KO.OUO In 1W and $J,4J7.U0 In 19iti to Mi.
McDonald. Mr. Uralnard said that the
luuus had been ordered from London and
.hat vat al tin Knew about them.
Is It not a fact that this money was
j furnished Mr. McDonald that he might
hold eltl::-r the Manhattan Oil company of
' f ho, or the Security Oil company of
j,, t know," replied Mr. Bralnard.
jjr nrinard was asked concerning the
loans made by the Southern Flpe Line
company of over $20.mo.0no to P. 8. Tralnor.
Mr n'ralnard said It was likely that Mr.
Truinor reported his loss to the Standard
Oil company and that the Southern Pipe
Line company reimbursed the Standard for
the losses and charged the amounts to the
account of P. R. Tralnor. Mr. Bralnard
said he thought the losses were Incurred
by Mr. Trainor In the purchase and sale of
oil. Mr. Bralnard said he knew nothing
a tout the loan made by the Standard Oil
company of New York, aggregating $32,
OBl.ttM, In If", to "Interests other than
Standard Oil." He said that account came
to him from the treasurer's office. William
O. Rockefeller might know something of
the loans, the witness Bald.
Mr. Bralnard said he did not know where
the transfer books of the liquidating trus
tees, which Mr. Kellogg has been desirous
of obtaining could be found. Mr. Bralnard

I strongly Indicated when various officials
went on record to that effect.
Mr. Mather address was called admira

After complimenting Mr. Mather on his
speech, K. P. Ripley, president cf the Santa

urged by the Rock Island official well j
taken. I
"What the railroads are opposed to." hn '
said. "Is this varied assortment of rules.
may be unlawful In another, and vice versa. '
In other words, we have too many masters.
Would not It he much better for us If we
had single, central source of regulation

"The outcry against the railroads has
done them much damage," continued Mr.
Ripley. "Thl antagonism Is by no means
a thing of the past, as It exists today and
is deep-seated. The attacks of the press
and the strictures from other sources have
kept It alive. The result Is that the rail
roads have been nearly ruined. They are
now worrying along as best they can.
They cannot do anything but erve thn

At 8 o'clock last nitsht the blare of th
trumpet at the Auditorium announced th
opening of Omaha's fourth annual Horsa .
Show.
Promptly at that hour the blast wa
blown, the gale rained and the beautiful
park horses swung Into ihe arena. Then
! followed ii succession of (lasses until 11
o'clock col s under saddle, tandems, pair
roadsters, gig horses, lady's saildle horses,
runabout, combination hoi He, park fours
and hunters. From the time of the entry
j of the park horses until the last hunter
: hud made his Jump, the Fpectntors were
lost in admiration of the beautiful animals.
It was Omaha nluht at the show and
Omaha Hoclety was out. Never on openlna;
night was there such an array of hand-
some women
elaborate gowns and Hn
Jewels. The promenade was used spar-
tngly at first, but the spirit of the shov
soon pervaded the boxes and arena floor
and before the evening was half over the
; urena rail was a popular position. On

Promptness is one of the prerequisites of
the horse show, if one would m-e, the whol
show, for Teddy Fowler brooks no delav
and when the clock hi the steeple strike
eight that Is the cue for "Teddy" and then
ho bugler sounds the call und the slum
ie on.
, At 8 o'clock tho horses arc all stamping
n yicii stalls, nervous for the fray, for
these Intelligent beasts know an well a.
anyone that they arc on dress parade when
tlif y enter the ring. With the band in th
, balcony discoursing sweet and martial air
the steeds step as proud as peacocks a
they whirl round and round the tanhark
aruna.
Armour's famous grays arrived Saturday
afternoon and were quartered in their
padded stalls. (Hants they are, und will
attract a world of attention before the
