LIQUIDATION OF
OIL TRUST TOLD
IN ALL DETAILS
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD RECITES
HISTORY OF OCTOPUS
ULTERIOR MOTIVE IN METHODS
DENIED
Declare* the New Jersey Branch Was
Made Holding Company Be.
cause Laws There Are
"Reasonable"
[By Associated Press.]
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The processes
through which the Standard Oil
trust was liquidated and its
thirty subsidiary companies brought
under control ot the present Standard
Oil company of New Jersey were en
veloped In interesting detail today by
John D Archbold, under cross-examin
ation in the federal BUit to dissolve the
Standard Oil company.
Mr Archbold declared the trust had
been liquidated in the period of years
from 1592 to IX!)!). with all good faith,
to obey the mandates of the Ohio su
preme court, ordering the trust dis
solved. .41
There was no ulterior motive in the
fact that only about 51 per cent of the
trust certificates w«re liquidated into
the stocks of the subsidiary companies,
Small' holders declined to liquidate,
preferring to retain their certificate!
which had a market value, rather than
to obtain inflnitessimally small parts
in the minor companies.
Mr. Archbold made it plain under a
series of Questions from Government
Counsel Kellogg that the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey had been se
tected as the holding company because
the laws of New Jersey were reason
able in their treatment of corporations.
How They Worked It
All the holders of trust certificates,
after obtaining their pro rata shares
in the subsidiary companies, turned
them into the New Jersey company and
received their proportionate amount of
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, the present holding company, is
the combination which tire government
is seeking to dissolve.
During the day Mr. Kellogg for the
government succeeded In throwing
light on the loans made to T. M. Barns
dale of Pittsburg, the independent oi!
producer.
Mr Archbold testified that loans ag
gregating $7,500,000 had been made to
Mr. Barnsdale to enable him to con
tinue his oil operations in various parts
of the country.
A part of the contract was that all
the crude oil produced by Mr. Barns
dale should be carried in the Stand
ard's pipe lines.
During the day Mr. Archbold testified
that former Congressman Jos. C. Sib
ley of Pennsylvania was identified with
the Galena Signal Oil company, a sub
sidiary of the Standard.
It was to Mr. Sibley that Mr. Arch
bold addressed many of his letters
which were made public during the re
cent presidential campaign.

CORRECT METHODS
National Monetary Commission Hears
Complaint That Comptroller Is
Handicapped by a System
Which Needs Changing
[By Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Defects in
methods of bank examination and the
Inability of the comptroller of the cur
rency to deal witli infractions of the
banking laws without reporting to such
harsh punishment as the closing of the
offending national institutions were
pointed out to the national monetary
commission today by high officials of
the treasury department.
Any general revision of the national
banking laws is not contemplated in
the present hearings, all of which are
executive .
Such changes as will be recommendel
in all probability will be confined to
amendments which can be made with
out friction between bankers and of
ficials charged with the enforcement
of the national banking laws.
It iB not intended to provide for any
general revision of the laws in ad
vance of the full report of the com
mission, which will not be made until
the first regular session of the sixty

At the hearing today statements were
made by Secretary Cori.elyou and L. A.

treasury, but mosl of the day was oc
cupied by Lawrence O. Murray, rnnip
troller of the currency, and Thomas P.
Kane, deputy comptroller of the cur
rency.
They explained in detail the amend
ments they think should be made to
tiie banking laws.
When the bankers have given their
views it is not doubted that it will be
possible to draft a hill along such lines
as will meet the principal needs.

[By Associated Press.]
BERLIN, Dec 2.—'She constitutional
debate in the reichstag today was no
table for the unanimous view expressed
by all the liberal parties and supported
by the powerful Center party, that some
change in the constitution was desira
ble, to the end of making ministers re
sponsible to the country.
The motions brought in, however,
varied considerably in their phrase
ology and because of the existing party
Jealousies it does not seem possible
that a final formula can be reached.
The present plan is to refer the five
reasons on the subject to a special
committee for report, this step to be
taken after the speakers have
thraehed out the subject in the house
for three days more.
This arrangement will delay the
drawing up of the final and definite
motion until after the Christmas vaca

last until the middle cf JaViuary.
Dr. Yon Eethmann-Holweg, minister
of the interior, spoke for the federal

He made a conciliatory eclaration

[By Associated Press]
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—Every
body in Vallejo and Mare Island is
looking forward to the launching of
the big collier Prometheus Saturday
morning.
To the minutest detail every prepara

Forty seconds after Miss Dolly Evans,
daughter of the naval constructor under

will have christened the mammoth
auxiliary it will be gliding across the
strait toward the Vallejo side, where
tugs will aid in directing her to her
position on the quay wall.
It is said that when the boat slips
from the ways it will be nearer com
plrtion than any vessel of her class, or
larger, launched at a government or
private yard.
The California promotion committee
has compiled some interesting compara
tive data about the Prometheus.
In length, 450 feet, she equals the
flagship of Admiral Sperry. the Con
necticut, which took the van when the
Atlantic fleet entered San Francisco
baj under the command of Admiral
Evans In May.
She displaces 12,500 tonß, as much as
the Ohio, Maine, Missouri and ships of
that class, while the battleships Ala

the battleships around the world, the
fattest collier in the fleet having been

BIGGY MYSTERY
BAFFLES POLICE
SEARCH CONTINUES FOR MISS-;
ING CHIEF
RESIGNATION TENDERED HOUR
BEFORE DEATH
Commissioner Keil Declares Victim of
Accident Offered to Yield Office,
but He Refused to
Let Him
[By Associated Press.}
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—The body
of Chief of Police Blggy, who was
drowned in the bay Monday night, has
not yet been recovered, although the
police, aided by a number of launches
and assisted by the marines and sol
diers on Alcatraz and Angel islands,
have maintained without interruption
the search instituted immediately after
the chief's disappearance.
Because of complex currents and tho
action of the tide It is Impossible to
calculate Just where the body may have
found a lodging place, and it may be
several days before it is recovered.
That Chief Biggy offered his resigna
tion to Police Commissioner Hugh D.
Keil an hour before his death and dur
ing the period of his visit to the com
missioner's home at Belvidere became
known today.
Keil admits the missing official of
fered to surrender his position in the
hope that the commissioners would be
relieved of newspaper criticism to which
Biggy felt they had been subjected on
his account, but Keil, according to his
own declaration, refused to accept or
consider the proposal and advised the
chief that the members of the board
would not entertain the idea of his
resignation under fire.
Official Statement*
In his official statement, issued yes
terday after the commissioners had met
in executive session, Keil made no men
tion of this fact, and several times in
timated that his final conversation
with Biggy included no subject that
might tend to clear uplthe mystery of
his death.
The fact that Biggy had insisted on
presentation of his resignation at the
next meeting of the board became
known through a written statement di
rected to Mayor Taylor by Commis
sioner Keil. The latter is said to have
placed In the mayor's hands the writ
ten resignation which Biggy proposed
to submit.
Mayor Taylor, when asked today If
Chief Blggy's resignation had been
placed in his hands by Commissioner
Keil, as had been reported, character
ized the report as erroneous.
The mayor said: "I have had no
communication with Chief Biggy, oral,
written or otherwise, for over a week,
past, and I have received no intimation
of any kind that he contemplated re
signing from his position. The state
ment crediting me with possession of
any communication from Chief Biggy
appears to have been materially exag
gerated, to say the least."
At the same time Harry McKanny,
the mayor's secretary, who was promi
nently mentioned today as a possible
successor to Chief Biggy, snid:
"Under no circumstances would I ne
cept the office of chief of police, even if
the offer is made, which I consider
most improbable."

CHINESE CHRISTIANS
Claims Convention Held at Shanghai
Developed Fact That 100,000 Na.
tives Had Embraced Prot.
estant Faith
Last evening in the regular midweek
service at the First Methodist Episco
pal church, Dr. Charles Edward Locke,
tin 1 pastor. In an informal address on
"World-Wide Christianity," referred to
an address delivered last Monday after
noon before the Ebell club in Los An
gelea, in which a Bpeaker is reported to
have made special reference to the Chi
nese. Dr. Locke said in part:
"I do not know the gentleman who
spoke, nor do I intend to enter into
any controversy with him; but, when
he said, If he was correctly reported,
he 'never had seen ;i Christian Chi
nese, and there is absolutely no possi
bility of a racial Christian tendency
in China,' I think it is due the women
of the club to be given some facts on
this subject.
"The centennial of Protestant Chris
tian missions in China was celebrated
In 1907, at Shanghai for two Weeks.
One thousand delegates v*3re welcomed
by the viceroy of the province, who as
sured them of the friendly attitude of
the Chinese authorities toward Chris
tian missions. This great convention
revealed there are 100,000 Chinese
Christian converts and 10,000 native
Christian workers.
"Among the commendable deeda of
the late dowager empress of China is
an imperial edict providing for pre
liminary steps for constitutional gov
ernment in the year 1917.
"I myself have known personally sev
eral Chinese scholars who are con
verts to Christianity and there are
many notable instances of men of
great influence accepting the Chris
tian religion.
"In the fare of the marvelous awak
ening of China and Its adoption of
Christian ideals, It is purely gratuitous
for any man to say that there is 'ab
solutely no possibility of.a racial Chris
tian tendency in China."
"The great Bonaparte said: 'When
China is moved It will change the face
of the globe.' The slumbering giant is
awakening, and the uplifting forco
which is arousing China is the gracious
and divine influence of Jesus Christ
"This speaker before the Ebell club
has read his history very carelessly
and ha* shown himself a prophet of
despair when he predicts the doom of
Christianity In the world when the
Orient awakens."

CONTROVERSY OF CRITICS IS
SUBJECT OF REPORT
Estimates for the Work Authorized by

Lack of Adequate Facilities
Prevents Economy
fn>- Associated Prfsa.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The annual
report of W. L. Capps, chief construc
tor of the navy, is very largely de
voted to a review of the controversy
over the plans of the battleships North
Dakota and Delaware.
Admiral Capps disposes of various
phases of criticisms that have been
made of the plans by declaring the rec
ommendtions for changes made by the
Newport conference related only to
minor details, over which there natu
rally would be differences of opinion
and improvement from time to time.
Estimates for the construction and
repair of vessels at navy yards and
at a foreign station amount to $8,840,713,
an increase of $840,713 over the appro
priations for the current fiscal year.
The amount estimated for construc
tion and machinery of new vessels au
thorized by congress, is $14,540,790, the
amount appropriated for the current
fiscal year being $12,832,962.
Estimate for Submarines
For continuing work on submarine
torpedo boats, the construction and
limit of cost of which already have
been authorized by congress, an esti
mate is made of $1,800,000, the amount
appropriated for the current year belns
$3,000,000, and for work on the two
licet colliers heretofore authorized th.i
estimate is $2,100,000, the appropriation
for the current fiscal year being 11,
--500,000.
Admiral Capps referred to the lack
of adequate working facilities at many
of the navy yards, for ships under re
pair, and says this condition continues
to embarrass the bureau and prevent
the prompt and econcftnical perform
ance of work.
A strong recommendation is made In
favor of limiting the extent to which
old vessels are modernized.
He says he believes it would be more
advantageous to expend money in the
construction of vessels of the latest
design.
WIFE AND SERVANT
OF RUSTIN TESTIFY
One of Witnesses Nearly Collapses
Under the Severe Examination,
but Other Is Not
Shaken
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. Two women,
Mrs. Rustin and Hannah Dineen, a
servant in the Rustin home, were tho
principal witnesses in the trial today
of Charles E. Davis, charged with the
murder of Dr. Frederick Kustin.
Mrs. liustin had little difficulty In
parrying the severe cross-examination
of Attorney Gurley, who forced her to
Identify Insurance policies on her hus
band's life, which were incontestable
In the event ot the person insured com
mitting suicide.
Miss Dineen, however, lost the com
posure which characterized her testi
mony at the coroner's inquest and pre
liminary hearings, and all but col
lapsed during the direct examination
by State's Attorney English, arid the
session of court was suspended ten
minutes until she recovered.
Miss Dincer.'s testimony clearly cor
roborated that of Mrs. Rustin, and In
addition she testified to having seen a
man who resembled the defendant
standing near tho Rustin home just
before midnight, when she returned
from a visit to her sister.
Technical testimony was given by
Dr. W. R. Lavender, who performed
the autopsy on Dr. Rustln's body. De
spite the efforts of Davis' counsel. Dr.
Lavender was permitted to give ex
pert testimony, during which he ex
pressed the opinion that the shot which
killed the physician was not self-in
flicted.
The court room was filled to suffoca
tion by a crowd that expected to see
and hear Mrs. Abbie Rice. She will
not give her testimony until tomorrow.
Policy of Defense
It was the policy of the defense to
secure the exclusion of all that portion
of the story tending to cast suspicion
upon the defendant in the present trial,
and in event of failure to do this, to
endeavor in the cross-examination to
create in the minds of the jury the
question whether or not Mrs. Rico did
after all fire the fatal shot, or make
away with the pistol after Dr. Rustin
had shot himself in her presence.
When court opened Attorney Gurley,
for the defense, asked Mrs. Rustin to
produce certain insurance papers on
the life of her husband. She said her
lawyer had them and would . produce
thorn.
Mrs Rustin said she recalled but two
nights during the two weeks from the
time of her return from a visit out of
town until the night of his death when
Dr. Rustin was at home all night.
The desired life insurance policies
having been brought Into court and
identified by the witness, it was pro
posed by the defense to show that the
policies contained provisions making
them inconteßtacle except for non-pay
ment of premium.
The prosecution objected to Introduc
ing this matter as a part of Mrs. Rus
tln's testimony, go it was deferred.
Dr. Mlllard Langfeldt, who was a
neighbor of Dr. Rustin and was called
by Mrs. Rustin soon after the shooting
of her husband, testified that the call
came approximately twenty minutes of
4. He said that although he had never
heard her speak before, he received the
Impression that It was Mrs. Rustin
talking. He could not account for the
Impression.
After describing the condition In
which he found Dr. Rustin, he said:
"I asked Mrs. Rustin. 'How did this
happen? and she answered that she
heard a. shot and found her husband
outside. Nothing more was said on the
subject." , ... ' -.-■

COUNT BONUS
KEENLY SCORED
PRINCESS DE SAGAN IS DE
FENDED BY ATTORNEY
CHARACTER OF FORMER HUS-
BAND DENOUNCED
Hundreds of Women Fight for Admis=
sion to Court 700m —Object of
Plaintiff Declared to
Be Revenge
(Continued from Fiijre One)
thpso documents shown to Madame
Qould at her country residence.
De Sagan, while not directly accus
ing the count of forgery, offered to
prove by experts that tlio.se documents
were forged "by the srime hand."
Then taking up his argument again.
M. Clemenceau said he did not like to
follow his adversary into the realm of
flimsy affirmation; he preferred to con
fine himself- to facts that could be
established.
.Nevertheless, affirmations must be
rmt, notably Madame Gould's- alleged
remark that it would have been better
If she had not been divorced, but had
lived as she pleased, though married.
What She Said
What lime, Gould actually said, M.
Clemenceau declared, was, "1 am treat
ed just as if I had a lot of lovers."
Counsel for the princess contended
that the testimony of the chauffeur
discharged from the service of De Sa
gan and the evidence of private detec
tives was utterly unworthy of credence,
and he raked the count fore and aft
wlien he reached the subject of the
fashion In which he had dissipated his
wife's fortune, spending at the rate
of $1,000,000 a year for eleven years.
"So long as this money was forth
coming," M. Clemenceau said, "the
count considered his wife upright and
honorable."
When Miss Gould was married to Dd
Castellane she had a yearly income
of $700,000. During her married life,
with what counsel characterized as its
"countless follies," the sum of $10,000,
--000 had been spent. When she got her
divorce from the count there existed
debts amounting to $3,400,000 In addi
tion to the sum of $95,000 that had been
given to the Marquis and Marquise
de Castellane.
"This is the man," cried M. Clemen
ceau, "who wants his children edu
cated like a De Castellane. A man
without a profession, who married for
money and then devoted himself to
betraying his wife with his wife's fe
male friends."
Settlement Revealed
Continuing. M. Clemenceau revealed
the exact terms of the settlement his
client offered to make at the time of
her divorce. These the count refused
on the ground that they were insuf
ficient, and in so doing, said counsel,
he proved himself eligible for an in
sane asylum.
These terms were $200,000 in cash and
an Income of $"0,000 a year, the income
to be increased when the estate of his
former wife was- out of the hands of
the trustees, she to take over all the
debts then pending.
M. Clemenceau then railed at the
count for repronching De Sagan with
having two mistresses.
"The count," he said, "had more than
two when he married Miss Gould."
The count also accused De Sagan
with ingratitude because he (the count)
had once loaned him $12,000.
"Where does the money come from?"
asked the lawyer. "Why, from Anna
Gould, who is now the Princess de
Sfgan."
Reverting to the divorce proceedings,
M. Clemenceau charged that the word:;
Of the decree obtained by the countess,
that "the husband had entertained re
lations with women of easy morals."
did not constitute the worst charge
agalnßt the count. As a proof that th I
suit was not brought because of the
count's solicitude for his children and
that the Marquise de Castellane did
not desire their custody, M. Clemen
ceau called attention to the fact that
the Marquise de Castellane had not
come forward as a party to the action.
Accusations Reviewed
M. Clemeneeau took up one by one.
the accusations made against the
princess by the count regarding her
travel! in Italy with De Sagan before
their marriage. It should be remem
bered, the lawyer declared, that the
princess was not a young girl traveling
with her fiance, "but a divorced woman
in the company of the man she was
going to marry. Furthermore, she is
an American, M. Clemenceau said.
"Conduct that would appear to be
out of the ordinary in France," he
■aid, "Is perfectly proper on the other
side of the ocean."
Dismissing the charges brought
against the prince and Mme. Gould
while they were in New York, M.
Clemenceau came to the more serious
charges of misconduct at Versailles.
He admitted that De Sagan had stepped
out of Mme. Gould's window in the
Hotel dcs Reserverar at 11 o'clock in
the morning, but he pointed out that
this was not the window of her bed
room, but of her salon, and as the
salon was situated on the ground floor
of the hotel, it was quite natural for
Hie prir.c" t" emerge into the garden
by way of the tall window that in
French houses ofien serves as a door.
He called attention to the fact that
counsel for the count had insinuate 1
that De Sagan had conducted himself
Improperly at Versailles. Such an in
timation was infamously false, and it
was likewise untrue that De Satran had
occupied a room in the chateau Marats
on the same floor as that of Mme.
Gould's servants.
It is true De Sagan had rented a
villa at Beilevue under an assumed
name, but this was something he had
a perfect right to do, said M. Clemen
ceau.
In conclusion M. Clemenceau gay
many insances of the tender, motherly
Solicitude of the princess, instancing
the fact that she h-'d arranged to re
ceive four telegrams a day about her
children when she went to London to
be married to the prince.
When M. Clemeneeau had finished It
was announced the case would go over
to December 9. when M. Jumier will
speak for Dp Sagan and M. Rousse for
George Gould, who, as trustee of his
sister's estate, is a party to the suit.

JAPANESE FRESS DOES NOT
LIKE NOTES AS EXCHANGED
Many Newspapers Say Letters Be.

Should Have Settled Emi.
gration Questions
TOKIO, Doc. 2.—Following the publi
cation of the official text of the notes
which were exchanged yesterday by
the Japanese :UKI American govcii
rnents, the newspapers generally ap
plaud their contents, but conalderablo
criticism is made, especially by the op
position oruana.
These paper* claim the questions of
emigration and naturalization should
have been settled by the exchange of
notes. This view is voiced by the
Asliai, which is an Independent paper,
but the Kokoumin, the government or
gan, states that if this understanding
is superfluous then all the other en
tentes are likewise superfluous.
The general tone of comment is high
ly gratifying, but ■the opposition or
gans aie using the occasion to attack
the government on the ground that
what is called the conclusion of the
note gives Japsin no ndvnntap:p. On the
other hand, the most responsible pa
pers most enthusiastically applairti the
agreement as a great diplomatic step.
