Missouri seeks to oust the Standard
Oil cqmpany of Indiana and other
companies from the state of MiBouri.
After spending the day up to 3
o'clock in the, afternoon in an unsuc
cessful attempt to have the Rogers
hearing completed, Mr Hadley, .who
Intends to return to Missouri Sunday,
conferred with Frank Hagermazk, at
torney tor the Standard'Oil company's
interests, and together they agreed to
reopen the hearing immediately.
A. V. Jockel, a former book-keeper
and sub-station manager for the
Standard Oil company, was recalled to
the witness Btand. He said that when
hie went weBt he stopped for a day in
the office of the Waters-Herce com
pany and saw Mr. TinBley, Mr. Acker,
Mr. King, Mr. McKee, and one or two
others. Mr. McKee, he said, is the
auditor of the Waters-Pierce company
would be vain. In France the ex
pected Sometimes happens as well as
the unexpected, but nobody can now
confidently .say what is or is not ex
pected. The names of numerous
"eliglbleB" are mentioned, but. there
are no presidential candidates as the
term is understood in the grfeat sister
Republic across the Atlantic.
M. Fallleros, the president of the
senate, is looked upon as first favor
ite, partly by reason of his office and
partly because he is known to be
soupd. He has the advantages of ap
proved experience and of a large de
gree of that valuable quality which
is somewhat indefinitely called "avail
ability." Ne'xt in favor appear to be
M. Doumer, the president of the
chamber,, and M. Leon Bourgeois, who
has held many important offices, in
cluding the premiership and the pres
idency of the chamber of deputies.
Messrs. Sarrien, Brisson, Rouvler,
Deschanel, Bertoux, Dupuy and other
"possibilities" are all well known to
the woi"ld as well as to France, and
it Is believed that the choice of any
one of them would confirm the world's
confidence in the stability of the re
public.
The method of procedure In the
coming election will probably be of
as much interest to foreigners as the
question of the presidency itself. The
hall of the palace at Versailles in
which the national assembly will meet
is an immense oblong room, galerled
at three sides, with an unpolished
glass ceiling. The hali is situated ii»
the southern wing of the palace, be
tween the Swiss Pond and the .Bue,
Gambetta, and is furnished wltb' s84
gilt franjed crimson silk upholstered
chairs for the senators and deputies.

fice of President Loubet, recite the
articles of the constitution empower
ing the assembled representatives to
elect his successor. The brisk busi
ness of balloting then begins, the pre
siding officer carefully suppressing all
attempts made by tlia electors to ad
dress the-assembly, and as each mem
ber's name is called out he steps for
ward to deposit his vote in the ballot
box. It is not at all probable that an
election will refiult from the first bal
lot, for in the assembly of 884 mem
bers, 443 votes are necessary in order
to constitutie the. necessary majority.
As soon as. the balloting is finished
an adjournment is taken to count the

Of office, is not sworn in, and is not
Inaugurated in the American sense of
the word.
What are the powers of the chief
executive of Frahce? In brief, they
are as follows. He cannot veto legis
lation, but may require the houses to
reconsider it. He has the legal power
to appoint and remove all public of
ficials, including ambassadors and
cabinet ministers. He cikn adjourn
the chambers for any period of less
than a month, can dissolve them after
they have sat five months, and, with
thtf consent of the senate, can dissolve
the chamber of deputies at any time.
But extensive as is the' nominal au
thority of the president, hls real au
thority usually is extremely limited
for all of his own acts and those of
his appointees must virtually receive
the sanction of the chamber of depu
ties, which ?n reality wields the su
preme power.

THE SCHEDULE
DREAM
Great Northern Official Says That no
New Time Card Has Ever Been Ar
ranged Except by Gossip Among the
Boys—Nothing Arranged Yet.
There has been much ado abbut
nothing relative to that much adver
tised change of train schedule on the
Great Northern.. The local press has
fixed up a running time for all
trains and brought the. coast trains,
Nos. Three and Four via Grand Forks
and Crookston to St. Paul. All this
new and highly' convenient disposal
of Jim Hill's trains was to become
effective on Sunday.
The fact of the matter is/that there
has never been a time card arranged
or sent out. The Evening Times states
on. the highest local railroad authority
that no official notice has been re
ceived in Grand Forks, either of a
new schedule of train service or of
any date on Which It was to become
effective. This being true, no tele
gram' was received ,at divlsioh head
quarters yesterday calling the
schedule off. The new time card was
the result of guesses among the boys
and never had any sanction from
schedule makers.
.The assitant superintendent of the
Dakota division has been in St. Paul
for the paBt ten days, In conference
with -the officials of the road, looking
toward aome new arrangements of
trains, whereby the mail service to
Butte, Montana, might be lessened by'
an hour. This could be done by
running Three and Four via Grand
Forks but as yet the conference has
come to naught.

THE HEW YORK LIFE
THEM
They Can Still Do Business In
The State of Mis
souri.
St. Louis, Jan. 13.—After a lengthy
conference with F. W. Lehman, spec
ial counsel, retained by the Missouri
insurance department, State Super
intendent of Insurance Vandiver of
Missouri, said that his suit to oust the
New York Life Insurance company
from doing business in Missouri would
probably be rescinded as a result of
the retirement of President McCall
and the restoration of the $235,000
given to Attorney Hamilton for" legal
services.
"The New York Life," said Mr. Van
diver, "has conceded the justice of the
position taken by my department. Its
trustees at a recent meeting carried
out practically all the requirements
set forth in my letter to them some
time ago.
"Recently the company instituted
injunction proceedings in the federal
court to restrain me from revoking
its charter. That proceeding will also
be withdrawn as a matter of course."

NEW YORK ACTO SHOW.
New York, Jan. 13.—Beginning to
day and continuing through the whole
of next week the automobile is to be
the centre of interest in the metropo
lis. Two automobile shows, both of
mammotb proportions, were opened
today. The sixth annual show of the
American League of Automobile Man
ufacturer is holding forth in Madison
Square Garden, while a little farther
up town, in the new 69th Regiment ar
mory, the exhibition of the Automobile
Club of America is in progress. Be
tween the two exhibitions, so far as
the lay visitor is able to judge, there
appears to be little to choose. Every
thing in the line of a horseless vehicle
is on display—from the lightest runa
bout to the heaviest touring wagon,
phaetons, broughams, coupes, cabs,
and surreys, from the light delivery
wagon to a four-ton truck.
The American makers are pitted
against the foreign visitors and the
purchaser has his choice from the
greatest array of vehicles ever
brought together. Accessories are le
gion, and everything allied to the
motor-driven vehicle in any form is
on exhibition. Gasoline vehicles na
turally predominate, both steam and
electricity are prominently included.
One of the interesting side features
of the armory show is an exhibit of
the Aero Club of America showing
every important development In aeros
tation of this country or abroad.
BANK'S AFFAIRS WOUND UP.
Rutland, Vt., Jan. 13.—The remain
ing assets of the Merchants' National
Bank, which failed on March 26, 1900,
were sold at auction by the receiver
today in order to wind up the affairs
of the institution and pay the final
dividend to depositors.
The bank was closed by the govern
ment through unauthorized loans of
$145,000 by Cashier Charles W. Mus
sey to Marvin A. McClure. Mussey
was sent to prison, but was pardoned
by the president on the ground of ill
health. McClure is serving a prison
sentence of seven years for complicity
in the wrecking of tlie bank.
MATT DOYLE
ARRESTED
Former Prominent Larfmore Politician
in Trouble at Dresden on Kidnap
ping Charge.
It will be of interest to readers of
The Evening Times to learn that Matt
Doyle, a former prominent resident of
Larimore, is under arrest at Dresden,
N. D., charged with kidnapping one
Vincent Weiler of Mount Carmel
township. Cavalier county. Mr. Doyle
was at one time alderman of Larimore
and a prominent politician of that sec
tion. The Cavalier County Republican
of the 11th, published at Langdon, has
the following relative to the matter:
"Yesterday Matt Doyle of Dresden
was placed in the custody of the sheriff
to await the action of the district court.
Ball was flxed at $1,000, which was not
furnished last night and up to the time
of going to press has not been put up.
•Nearly three weeks ago he was arrest
ed and lie furnished $200 cash to insure
his appearance in Justice Toregeson's
court, where his preliminary was held
and Tuesday the justice bound him
over to the district court, fixing the
bail as above stated.
"The charge against Doyle is rather
agaiiiai, to raiiitfi
unique in that it is the first case of the
kind 'ever coming up here and is noth
ing less than_ the alleged kidnapping of
Vincent Weiler. living In Mt. Carmel
township. In the df-ai is involved the
transfer of a section of land to Doyle
from Weiler, who is claimed to be a
little simple, and the total disappear
ance of Weiler at that time and al
though search has been made for the
man on both sides of the line his disap
pearance seems to be complete. This
transaction took place about the 20th
of. November and it is claimed that
Weiler was last seen in company with
Doyle at Snowflake.
"Friends of Weiler seem to think that
something is wrong and are pushing
the investigation in the hope of finding
some trace of the mm. If he is found
a different complexion may be put on
