The Anglo-American company, said Mr.
Anlibold. did business In the I nited King
dom and purchased Ha supplies tn this
country. A list of the physical properties
of tlie 8landsrd tXl company of New Jersey
was offered In evidence. The Prairie Oil
and Gas company, said Mr. Archbold. did
rot refine oil. but n engaged In t.ie
production and tranaportstlisi of oil.
Mr. Archbold declsred that pipe lines
were s ne essjry part of the Standard's
business. Hit' said;
"The business baa outgrown the raJroad
tr jr. spoliation and pipe lines are neces
aiy to Insure a constant supply of oil. The
railroada couid not do the business of sup
plying tha refineries constantly with crude
o.l even if they had the tank cars, which
are not In existence."
Mr Archbold did not know that the
General Industrial Syndicate company of
Lond m purchased tl.s Msnhattan Oil com
p..n r.or ; i.at it was controlled by the
8;a-.dira
Mr Atcho. id waa asked if It was not
true thot tlie Standard had purchased the ;

advances before there is or.y relief.
Rumors of a corner in June storage but

have been circulated for some time, and
while vigorously denied hy the principals
the fact remains that the st'ck of choice

Some estlma'.ea place the percentage of

NEW TORK, Dec. L Four desperadc es,
armed with revolvers, held up a crowded
street car on lower Third avenue today,

Just before the enc reached Houston
street, and while the conductor was insl.l:
collecting fares, four men. who had been
scattered through the crowd, started to
ward the rear door. When they had com
pletely bl'cked the exit, the men drew re
volvers and covered tne passengers. Two
of them attacked the conductor, one prss
irg a revolver against his head, while the
other pushed him through a window and
rifled his pockets. In the meantime the
ther two had been "going through" tho
passengers, gathering up valuables of all
descriptions Their pockets were stuffd
with women's purses, watches and small
wads of bills, when the screems of thq
women so fnghtened them that they bolted
from the car and da&hed down a side
street Into the heart of the crowded slums
When policemen started tn pursuit the
robbers had a lead which made capture
practically Impossible.
