The feast is only a part of the day's festivities, substantial enough but not as lasting as will be the other good things and the presents.

After the youngsters have gorged themselves on turkey and pie and ice cream they will hi-' loaded with bags of candles, nuts and presents. ! Adults Interested Kindly Inquiries*, telephone calls and letters already at hand indicate a quick response to the sentiment of the occa sion. It appeals to the mothers and fathers? the childless and the bereaved, to all whom the little folks represent the future fathers and mothers of the race. With them it Is a duty of love, a duty of patriotism. There will be a plenitude of work for committees in encouraging gifts of produce, eatable and desserts; In pre paring the food for the table; in con veying it to central points and serving it- * In giving a volunteer entertainment afterward and finally in the general oversight of the Juvenile guests. Scores of men and women will have details to look after and their co-operation will be ..welcomed. Men of action ami Industry, men who have had successful business careers, stopped long enough in their plans and rounds of details In their enterprises yesterday to say a kind word or two for the Christmas spread. Theirs was comment from the heart, and all in the direction of encouragement and promises of help. Praise from Prominent Men -•'lf any need of assurance was de manded that the affair will be a suc cess, the approval of Arthur Letts, J. Ross Clark and B. P. Clark, A. B. Cass, D K. Luther, J. E. Carr and James C, Warren would furnish an ample guar anty. _, _ "That's a flne idea," said Mr. Letts. "Push it along. Give the children the time of their lives this year. I'm heartily with you. The grownup* will certainly do their share." . , "Very flue scheme," said J. Ross Clark. "I say help the dinner and see that every tot gets a present, and the bigger ones. too. Surely the idea will take hold generally." ' ; fi, "By all means make the poorer chil dren glad," said E. P. Clark. "United effort will make but a trifling sacrifice necessary, and think of the good it will do for the poor little things not bo fortunate at their homes." Delighted with Idea *• "I'm delighted with the plan," said A B. Cass. "I read it today in The Herald and made up my mind to help the dinner Idea. Everyone whom for tune and health have blessed should give a hand." - ■■"'[)''' , "Before I board the Owl, quote me as favoring the Christmas treat idea," said J E. Carr, who was obliged to hurry to the Arcade depot. "When I come back In a few days I'll see what I can do, too." "I don't know of a better thing to do at Christmas than to see that our neighbors' children have been provided with Joyful remembrances," said James tC. Warren. "All my friends will help." "I'm with you .heart and soul," said D. E. Luther, "and I shall speak to business men as I meet them about helping the movement. Those who have children and all who love children should fall into line." As fast as different organizations can authorize co-operation through regular meetings of their directors or executive committees it is probajde that other forms of giving to the chil dren will be proposed that day. Opportunities may arise for a special distribution of comfort bags, delicacies and baskets for the homes, and herein is an' expanded field for organized so cieties for relief and benevolence out side of.the feast and entertainment on December 25.

ROCKEFELLER GIVES COURT FULL HISTORY PRESIDENT OF STANDARD OIL RECITES LIFE STORY DEVELOPMENT OF GREAT TRUST DESCRIBED GRAPHICALLY Tells How, from Comparatively Noth. Ing, He Built Up One of the World's Most Powerful '' '■: Monopolies 'By Associated Press.] v "ITEW YORK, Nov. ,18.—John D. Rockefeller, Nov. ,18.—John the Rockefeller, president of the -*-' Standard Oil company, made his appearance as a witness for the defense in the federal suit to dissolve tho so called "oil trust" today. Relating his 'story with tbe air of a country gentleman of kindly mien en gaging a host of friends with Inci dents of days long past, Mr. Rockefel ler, though for nearly ten years retired from active cares of'company direction, reviewed for more than two hours the history of the early oil trade and the development of the company that later grew into the present so-called oil trust. -, Mr. Rockefeller was a witness for the defense in a suit to dissolve the Stand ard, which is being prosecuted by the United States government, and his ap pearance at the bearing before Judge Franklin Ferris, the referee, brought a large crowd to the customs building. ■ The head of the big oil combine was surrounded by an imposing circle of, counsel and when he began his testi mony he gazed complacently upon a swarm of newspaper men, behind whom pressed a throng that filled the room. Mr. Rockefeller appeared at com plete ease, and when John G. Mil burn of counsel for the Standard Oil company propounded his first question the witness spoke out in full tones as if he desired the most distant spectator in the chamber to hear. Story of Prosperity Then, in a manner that Indicated a pleasure of which he was about to tell, Mr. Rockefeller spoke of his start in the oil business, and how, under ad verse conditions, that business grew to proportions of the Standard Oil com pany of Ohio, with its capitalization of $1,000,000. . . Mr. Rockefeller's eyes sparkled In re flection of that early financial organiza tion, and spoke of its million dollar capitalization with almost boyish en thusiasm. Former Judge Franklin I'^erriss, mas ter of the proceedings, had ordered that no spectators be permitted to enter the chamber and policemen posted at the door turned back an insistent ■ throng which besieged the room where the testimony was being taken. Mr, Rockefeller had left the offices of the Standard Oil company shortly before 2p. m. He was accompanied to the customs house, where the hearing Is being, held, by John G. Milburn- and Morltz Rosenthal of counsel for the Standard Oil company. On his way Mr. Rockefeller was photographed by several newspaper photographers. He made no objection. Mr. Rockefeller had scarcely entered the court room when his counsel mo tioned him to take the witness chair. The president of the Standard Oil com pany gave his testimony in a clear, resonant voice, which could be heard all over the- room. Asks Him His Name . I Mr. Rockefeller, what is your full name?" asked Mr. Miller. "John D. Rockefeller." "Where do you live?" "My legal residence is in this city at 4 West Fifty-fourth street." "Whhen was your flrst connection with the oil business?" "About 1860 or 1862, not earlier than 1860 nor later than 1862. I was then a young man—much younger than I am now." In reply to the question as to who were associated -with him in the oil business in the beginning he gave the names »of Morris James and Richard Clark and Samuel Andrews. "A copartnership was formed," said Mr. Rockefeller, "known as Andrews, Clark & Co., which operated at Cleve land, O." Mr. Rockefeller said the refinery was a small one and his copartnership with Andrews, Clark & Co. continued until 1866, when it was dissolved. "I bought the business and the prop erty and I organized the firm of Rocke feller & Andrews," he said. He Kept on Trying "Did you continue in the refinery business?" "Yes."

Blaze of Triumph [By, Associated Press.] NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The grand opera season opened In New York and Philadelphia last night with a blaze of triumph, and promises to prove one of the greatest in the history of either city. ; y*' Both in New York and in Philadel phia the opera managers have as sembled a class of talent seldom to be found on one stage, including the most famous singers in the old and new world. In point of cost and vocal variety the season's opening In both cities exceeds that of any former year.

AUGU3TAI DARING ROBBERS LOOT TWO STORES HOLD UP PROPRIETORS, GET MONEY FROM TILLS Masked Men Enter Pharmacy and Hold Up Occupants — Escape Although Police Are No tified at Once Two daring. robberies were perpe trated last night in what is virtu ally the downtown district. The first was the drug store of R. J. Peck at 800 West Temple street at 9:30 o'clock last night, when two masked men held up the occupants, and after securing $15 from the cash register of the store, made their escape, despite the fact that the police were notified and were on the scene within five min utes after the robbery. Mr. Peck, the proprietor of the place, and George P. Housel of 824% West Temple street and Harry Tlckhauser of Hope and Court streets, were ln the store at the time the two robbers ap peared. Both men had handkerchiefs tied over- their faces and were armed with revolvers, which they pointed at the three men : and ordered them to walk to the back of the store. After escorting the proprietor and his friends into a back room they com manded them to throw up their hands, and Housel, being slow in obeying the order; was struck across the head by one of the robbers with his revolver and knocked down. " . -While one of the men guarded the three men the' other -robber walked back into the store and opened the cash • register ■ and took all the money that was ln it. He then called to his companion, and after warning Peck and his companions to keep quiet, both men disappeared in the darkness, go ing west along Temple street. i Police Fail to Find Trace . The robbery was reported to the de tective department within a minute af ter the men had- left the store and De tectives Kill- and Pendegast and Police Surgeon Garrett rushed to the scene In an automobile. The entire 1 neighborhood was searched, but no trace of the robbers was found. At 8:45 o'clock a similar robbery was perpetrated at Eighth and Spring streets, where V. Campanella, the pro prietor of the Monte Vista Wine com pany, was held up and robbed of $23 by a lone robber who gained access to the private- office by making a request for change for a $5 gold piece, - Mr. Campanella was closing his office for the night when a young, well dressed man, about 25 years of age, walked into the office and asked for change. ' Mr. Campanella had already locked his safe, but he obligingly opened it. and as he turned to hand the man the change found himself staring Into the muzzle of a revolver. * He was ordered to stand to one side and throw up his hands, and as he obeyed the order the man pulled out the cash drawer of the safe and emp tied Its contents into his coat pocket, i At that moment a customer came into the store, and the fellow, ordering Campanella to keep quiet, ran from the office and boarded a passing south bound Hooper avenue car . and es caped. • "-»"■•"-, The police were telephoned at once and two detectives. were sent to the store, but all trace of the robber had been lost. Mr. Campanella was able to give a good dostion of the man. however, and It is believed that he will be arrested within twenty-four hours. tIV/'l V I'( ll>l I.'**: • DAILY, 2cj SUNDAY, Se oIIMLjrJLJIi Ui IJCjO . or* trains, s cents IP*/-; *i CmME7?\ARTSIV> ■ ■ - .AL3SR.ICK II i;: * ce*vnt«iiT.itOfl,»t«ti»KKiir,t IjJMME.TETRAZZINIS flg <o^BieiwT.itOl^tTlJ.roi.lT. | PRISONER PLOTS TO BREAK JAIL REMOVAL TO ANOTHER CELL REVEALS SAWED BARS Alleged . Burglar, Who Planned to Knock Jailer Senseless, Is Trans. ferred to Long Beach Officers, ' for Whom Arrested . " Harry Ford, . who, according to the police records, is a burglar, confidence man and professional thief, was trans ferred from, the city jail last night to the police station at Long Beach and given into the custody of Chief of Police Williams of that city.. When the transfer was accomplished the local police breathed a sigh of relief, for Harry Ford is. said to be one of the most dangerous criminals who has ever been confined in the local Jail. When first arrested by Patrolman Harrison on suspicion three days ago Ford was found to be armed with two revolvers, a bowle knife, and he had also a quantity of stolen jewelry and money. Later bo was searched by Detectives Hosick and Zelgler and they found two hack saws, with which criminals of bis class usually saw out of Jails and places of detention, bound around his leg -beneath a garter. After Ford had been, in police par lance, combed from eyebrows to toes, he was placed In cell No. 7 of the small tank. He was left In there for a night and the next morning was taken to tho office of Captain of Detectives Flam mer and "sweated" for an hour In an endeavor to secure some Information about the Long Beach burglaries with which he is charged. . • Gives No Information < apt. Flammer secured no informa tion and finally ordered the man re turned to the jail. £ During Ford's ab sence other prisoners had been brought into the jail and.he; was placed in an other cell. ... ' - . A short time later Jailer John Rock off had occasion to go to No. 7, where Ford had been confined, and one of the new . prisoners called his attention to the fact there was a hard, firm . ridge In the lining of one of the canvas cots. Investigation showed there were three hack saws of the finest tooth and tem per concealed j there,. and , further in vestigation showed bars in the cell had been sawed so all that was required was a good strong pull to wrench them free and permit a i prisoner to walk Into the corridor. From the corridor it is. only a step to the door through which the night Jailer passes every hour, on • his rounds and a knock on the head with a piece of sawed iron , bar would knock the Jailer senseless and give the prisoner possession of the keys to the outside world and liberty. Ford's scheme of release ' was de tected, however, and his escape pre vented by close watch upon htm. His removal to another Jail yesterday waa extremely gratifying to Capt. Flam mer, in whose care he was as long as he remained a prisoner In the city Jail. . $75,000 Fire In Kentucky LOUISVILLE, ,' Ky., Nov. 18.—Two warehouses of the Tom Moore Distill ing company at Bardstown^ In which were stored 15,000 barrels flf . whisky, were burned late today,, entailing a loss of about $400,000 to the firm. The loss to the government is $75,000. OcENTS DEFENSE GRILLS STATE WITNESS IN RUEF'S CASE JIM GALLAGHER IS SEVERELY FLAYED BY ACH HISTORY OF BOODLERS RE. VIEWED IN COURTROOM Trial of Former Political Boss of San Francisco Draws Large Crowd. Jury Admonished by Lawlor < [By Associated Press, SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18.—With Hiram Johnson, Matthew I. Sul livan and Joseph J. Dwyer, three prominent attorneys who volunteered their services, at tire trial table in the place of Special Prosecutor Francis J. Heney, who was shot down in j the court room Friday afternoon, the trial of Abraham Ruef, former political boss of San Francisco under several score of indictments charging him with brib ery, was resumed before Judge William P. Lawlor at 9 o'clock this morning. just where it was interrupted by the tragedy. The three attorneys are acting as as sistants to Assistant District Attorney John O'Gara, but Johnson and Sullivan are virtually conducting the trial, i ■->« Judge Lawlor yesterday denied tho application of the defense for a change of venue made by counsel for Ruef on the ground that Ruef could not now have a fair and impartial trial because of the feeling and prejudice aroused by the tragedy in the court room, and the court swept aside all other motions and technicalities interposed to. stop the progress of the trial. '.--.. James L. Gallagher, the prosecution's star witness against Ruef, for whom he acted as agent in; the alleged brib ery transactions* with the board of su pervisors, whose ' direct examination had been finished by Mr. Heney two hours before he was shot, resumed the witness stand this morning. '. Gallagher Grilled . Henry Ach,. chief counsel, for Ruef. subjected him to a severe cross-exam ination, which in | all probability will last for several days. Counsel for Ruef endeavored to pet. Gallagher to differentiate between "re membrance," "best recollection" and "positive recollection " with which wit- , ness qualified his answers. This was productive of many sharp clashes between Acn, Johnson and Sul livan. ' .'. . . ' ■ A strong force of police and detec- j tives was again on duty in the court room, corridors and in f front of the building, and the precautionary meas ures put Into effect Immediately after the shooting have In no way been re laxed. While the court room Is supposed to be open to the public, not more than 200 people were admitted, and these had to run the gauntlet of a double line of policemen on the steps and In the cor ridors. Many were turned away and some were deftly searched for weapons, but there was no great crowd clamoring for admittance. ' In the court room an extra railing had been run from wall to wall directly behind the press tables, with but-a sin gle gate, located in the middle of the aisle, and operating with a spring lock. Spectators Held Back . This effectually cut off the spectators from-pressing forward. At the gate stood a policeman and any one ap proaching the front part of the court room had to come up the center ailse. past several policemen and directly under the eyes of six detectives, four of the prosecution's special agents and several deputy sheriffs, who sat facing the spectators. No one I arose in his seat but the eyes of all the detectives and policemen were Immediately watching every move. Touching upon the complaint of Ruef in his affidavit yesterday that his at torneys and friends associated with him in his defense were not allowed to enter the court room, Judge Lawlor in- I structed the court attaches and the po lice to : admit any and every person Ruef or his counsel desired in the court room.. At this Matthew I. Sullivan asked if there was to be no restriction on numbers. The court replied it would deal with the numbers if the question should arise. When the Jury had en tered Judge Lawlor admonished them as follows: -• Admonishes Jury "The court lias on many occasions sought to convey to your minds the understanding of your duty In , this case. It has been pointed out to you that Abraham Ruef pleaded not guilty to the charge against him and you will pass solely upon the facts in the case . as shown by the evidence. I do not think I need amplify my admonitions in that respect. In view of the trans- | action that occurred in the court room on the afternoon of last Friday, | the court, however, desires to re-emphasize with all its power that the jurors must utterly . disregard that transaction. ■ "The court realizes that the jurors I may have seen a part of that trans-; action, or that phases of it may have; come to their attention. The jurors must relieve their minds of anything they may have seen, they may have ' heard or that may have been or will ■• be communicated to them. ' -'-> . "I may state to you that Francis J. eney was shot by. a man giving the name of Morris Haas; that Mr. Heney was wounded as the result of that as sault, but happily . the wound is not serious and there Is every indication that Mr. Heney will recover. Tells Them Bare Facts : "It may be stated also to you thai the assailant afterward took his own life in the county Jail. "The court admonishes the Jury that this transaction so far as j the | court, the Jury, the defendant at bar, counsel and all Interested in this ' trial 5 must stand as though they are not concerned and that no person ,is ■ charged with any responsibility In regard to It.V;', '■ "The entire matter, should : have |no place ln your mind | and should | cause no bias or prejudice against ony one."
