first appearance was about a week ago
In the counties of Columbia, Montour,
Northumberland and Union, and on
Nov. 12 Secretary Wilson placed a
rigid quarantine over these counties.
Dr. , Leonard Pearson, state veterina
rian of Pennsylvania, worked with a

vent a spread of the disease, but they
were unable to cope with the situation.
No one is prepared to soy how long
the quarantine will last. . In the case
of Boston two years ato the quaran
tine lasted several months.
Cattle will not be allowed to cross
any public highway, and the keeping
of them in open pastures and lots will
be prohibited.

JOHN D. SHARPLY
CROSS EXAMINED
Admits Standard Oil Trust
Received Rebates.
BEGUN BY PENNSYLVANIA
Rockefeller's D.fons. Is That Hit Com
pany Wanted to See Freight Ratei
Equalized and Rival Oil Concerns
Treated Fairly Identifies the Trust
Agreement of 1878, Enumerating
Thirty Companies In Which the
Trust Held a Controlling Interest.
New York, Nov. 20.-With an in
scrutable smile ou bis pale face John
D. Rockefeller took tbe stand today
before Referee Ferris to be sharply
cross examined by Frank B. Kellogg
In the government's suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil trust.
It was the old magnate's third day
on the witness stand, but he appeared
no less alert or less interested and
affable than at the previous sessions.
Mr. Rockefeller created a sensation
by confessing that the Standard OH
UaMlUMt
JOHN 1. ROCKEFELLER.
trust had received secret rebates from
the railroads, especially from tbe Penn
sylvania. This is regarded as a most impor
tant admission, as the charge of secret
rebating forms the backbone of the
government's case against Standard
Oil. ,
Mr. Rockefeller pleaded that tbe
Standard Oil was at first the victim
of schemiug rivals in tbe oil business
and thus suffered from the rebate sys
tem as initiated by others, notably tbe
Empire Transportation company.
He related bow interests allied with
the Pennsylvania railroad got rebates
over the Pennsylvania road to the dis
advantage of the Standard Oil inter
ests. Tbe fight terminated In the Standard
Oil acquiring the Empire line's refiner
ies and pipe lines and tbe Pennsylva
nia forming a car trust to take over
the Empire's cars. Standard Oil pur
Chasing the car trust certificates!.
Mr. Rockefeller described the condi
tions that caused tbe Standard Oil to
acquire pipe lines and told of the trust
agreement of 1879. nnder which the
pipe lines were held. He said:
"Step by step we kept building tanks
until we bad built $1,000,000 of tank
age. Then when the great flux of oil
came over our pipe lllnea we could
take care of It.
"At the conclusion of the railroad
rate war tbe railroads were guaran
teed a certain minimum shipment a
year and agreed to give a 10 per cent
rebate. v
"Oil traffic was allotted among tbe
railroads on a percentage basis purely
to tToid a ruinous rate war."
Concerning the m railed "trust
agreement" of the Standard Oil com
pany made In 187l Mr. Rockefeller
said: .
Tbe purpoevof the agreement wat
$100,000.00 to make a
Perfect Medicine.
Linonine Is a blood food the most
helpful thing In all medicine for you.
More than one hundred thousand
dollars have been expended in mak
ing this Flaxseed Emulsion tbe most
perfect food medicine in the world.
Linonine It not a secret remedy
the formula Is on every bottle. It
Is a palatable emulsion tweet as
cream made of the oil compressed
cold from the finest, selected Flax
Seeds and Imported from Bombay.
Flax Seed grown elsewhere U not
good enough for Linonine.
This Flax Seed oil made la this
special manner is combined with
other healing and body-building ele
ments and by a series of Intricate,
scientific processes, requiring 120
hours, is emulsified into its delicious
cream form. Children and adults
alike speak of Linonine as being
"sweet as cream." Physicians have
prescribed Linonine for yeara. ,
to secure as high a price as possible
for the crude oil. The effort was to
Introduce an element of greater regu
larity and stability into a business
that hud been subject to extreme fluc
tuations hitherto.
Mr. Rockefeller Identified the origi
nal trust agreement, which was placed
in bis hands by John G. Mllburn.
This Important document proved to
be au agreement dated April 8, 1878,
by the terms of which all the proper
ties owned by the Standard Oil Com
pany of Ohio were turned over to
three trustees Myron R. Keith, George
F. Chester and George H. Vilas.
Thirty different companies in which
that corporation held a controlling in
terest were enumerated In the docu
ment, and the names of tbe stock
holders, with their proportion of the
shares, were outlined.
Standard Oil attorneys said that gov
ernment lawyers were not aware of
the existence of this agreement. In
the federal petition to have the so
called trust dissolved is an agreement
somewhat similar In its nature, but it
is dated 1882, aud the difference in
the dates gives the document intro
duced Its Importance, the Sherman act
having gone luto effect in 1880.
CHINA'S REGENT HAS
f REFORM PROGRAMME.
Edict ot Prince Chun Tells ot
New Government Ideas.
Peking. Nov. 20. An edict by Prince
Chun, the regent, enumerating the pro
gramme of reforms to which the new
regime is committed was issued today.
It says:
"Emperor Pu Yi will concern himself
with cbauging the laws of the empire
to the end of making the country
more powerful. Furthermore, he will
consider new methods of government
which will arouse the admiration of
Chinese and foreigners alike.
"We have reflected upon our heavy
responsibility and are aware of our
weakness. Consequently we must de
pend upou officials, great and small,
In Peking and in the provinces to
show public spirit and patriotism In
aiding the government."
Another edict Issued in tbe name of
the late dowager empress and said to
have been authorized by her on the
day she died says:
'I look back today over fifty years
of sorrow and trouble, and even at
the end of my life my anxieties still
arc with me and 1 can find no respite.
"Reform in the method of govern
ment has begun, and these ideas will
be continued and developed. The re
gent, viceroys, governors and all other
officials should exert themselves to
strengthen the foundations of the em
pire. I.et tbe Emperor Tu TI make
the affairs of the empire of the first
Importance, aud to this end let him be
adequately instructed."
These various edicts, taken together,
are considered to commit the new re
gime to a programme of reform and
progress.

of Municipality Says He li Not
Discouraged and - Will . Seek Re-"

Cleveland, O., Nov. 20. Although ha
admits be is a ruined man, having lose
his S.",000,000 fortune in fighting for
three cent fares and directing the af
fairs of this municipality, Mayor Tom
L. Johuson says he Is not discouraged.
He said today: ; . t
"Yes, I am a ruined man, so far s
money is concerned. My fortune, in
all gone, and I must' give up my home
on Euclid avenue.
"My traction company is in the
hands of receivers, and my banking
concern has passed into other bands.
"My only recreation has been au
tomoblliug. I'd like to keep one of
my autos, but I'm afraid I can't" ;
His fortune was wrecked, the mayor
declared, by bis devotion to tbe affairs
of the estate of bis dead brother, Al
bert, who was heavily interested la
traction properties in the east.
"I'm going to be happy yet too. W
may hare to go back to a cottage, but
that's the way we started, and wa
can look upon life just at Joyfully
there as we did in the big house om
Euclid avenue. '
"They tell me my enemies are plan
ning to bring financial trouble upon
me. I've been expecting It. There't
one mistake I haven't made that of
falling to foresee the efforts of those
who would like to destroy me if op
portunity presented. !
"My enemies are capable of doing
that. One may expect nothing els
from special privilege. ' Let them do
what they may. Let them make any
sort of attack upon me that they
choose, with whatever success, and
they will find me with a thousand
fights left in me.
"I have never made a tingle penny;
out of the street railways since I be
came mayor, and I haven't drawn a
cent of pay from the Municipal Trac
tlon company as treasurer.
"I am not discouraged. I'm going tf
keep on Just as I've started. I'm go
ing to be a candidate for mayor tgain
when this term is over."
The Municipal Traction company, of
which Mayor Johnson was treasurer,
has passed into the bands of receiv
ers, and the two local banks of the
Depositors' Savings and Trust com
pany, of which the mayor was presi
dent, have been absorbed by other
institutions.
