Kline, chief counsel tor the Standard Oil company ot Ohio, on; June 7, In which It waa stated that the Standard Qll Company did not deslra at this time to offer any testimony. Mr. Kline, "who was presents corroborated this Statement and said that this course was decided upon because he believed that a full reply to all Charges against the Standard Oil com psny as now on file the office of the omtolssioner of corporations, Commissioner Prouty asked if anybody else desired to be heard and the only response viae trom Chief Counsel Marchand, who said he bad the testimony of one witness to offer that of C.

Tully. an auditor In the freight department of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad company. Roundabout Method of Rebate, Mr Tully's testimony was concerning storage charges made against the Standard OH company at Chicago and it was sought to draw trom the wit ness statements concerning the meth ods used by the railroad In keeping such accounts. It being the contention of Mr, Merchant! that the railroad had allowed the storage charges against the Standard Oil company to go unpaid and that the auditor's depart ment In Cleveland had afforded the lo fl ngent relief in this re spect, Mr. Mftt'chanl endeavored to show that this was a roundabout way of giving the Standard Olt company a rebate, Close questioning an the part of the counsel, however, failed to ob tain definite Information from the wit' ness regarding such allegations; Mr.

Tully maintained that he did not possess the information with which to nllahten the" commission. Commis sioner Prouty took the witness in hand and after a sharp examination ordered him to proceed to his office and obtain the accounts of the Chicago office tor the last two years containing the record of freight charges. The commission took a recess until Mr, Tally's return. Got at the Truth. When Mr.

Tully returned he was ac comDanled by Henry L. Meyer, a clerk who had charge of the account in Ques tion.

The reports examined showed storage; charges aver aging $500 month against the Standard Oil Ompany.

Having questioned Meyer without obtaining any ln formatlpn as to whether the charges were eyer paid or not. Judge Prouty turned to Mr. Tully again and by skillful work succeeded in gradually drw. lng from him the admission that the agent at Chicago was not required to send In the cash for the storage cbargea against the Standard OH company but that the account was balanced by a voucher sent to the Cleve land office. This, Mrv Tully said, was done upon orders from J.

Grammar, traffic manager of the road. The prac tice, he said, had been followed since 1903, but had ceased on Jan, 1 ot this year. Vlctofy for Independents. There was no cross examination and there being no other witnesses adjourn, ment was taken without delay. Chief Counsel Jlarchand declared at the close ot tha session that the failure of Mr Kline to offer any testimony or put In a defense of any kind waa a complete victory for the lndpendent oil men.

"This session," said Mr. Marcband, "was called solely at Mr. Kline's request and upon his statement that he desired to be heard in answer to the numerous charges, made. His change ot front Is surprising to say the least." THE PENNSYLVANIA HEARING. Commerce Commission Resumes Inquiry Into the Coal Graft.

"Liverpool, June J.4 ri1v7w er (instantly killed aud about forty wrq wounded, four ot whom died later, as the result of a terrlfflc explosion today on the British steamer llaveatotd, of the International Navigation company. The vessel, which 1s Tornmanded by Captain Nielsen, arrived here yester day from Philadelphia, June 2, landed her passengers and proceeded to llua klsBon dock 'early today In 6rde( to unload. The stevedores were 1n the act ot loosening the stearoer'a hatches when suddenly a moat violent explosion occurred It blew off the hatches, rent the docks and hurled dead and wounded men ltt all directions. Several bodies were dismembered and the deck resembled the floor of a charnel bouse, Thought It Infernal Machine. The exploftlon which was heard for many tulles and early rumors said it was caused by in Infernal machine.

The explosion was followed by the outbreak of fire, The cargo consisting ot Udseed oil cake in hold No. 2 and hold No, 3 was1 soon biasing fiercely Flrernen 'and police hurried to the spot and the Injured were aulckly taken to a neighboring hospital, while the work of searching fpr further possible casualties proceeded nlth vigor. In spite ot the fierceness of the fire, which, soon assumed alarming proportions, owing to the Inflam mable nature Of 1he Cargo. After tv, a hours hard fighting however, the fire men obtained tho mastery of the flames it la believed that a number of the men taken to the hospital will succumb to their Injuries. The cause of disaster has not jet been ascertained.

Caused by Nsphtha soap. The report that the explosion on the Haverford was due to an Infernal machine arose from the finding of a wooden box a foot square In one of the holds. This box, which was only partly sniftered, still contained pieces of steel machinery. It was prominent ly marked "For Manchester England," The officials of the Internationa Navigation, company have taken charge of the box," but they do not attach Importance to the theory of foul play, and say that the presence ot the box In the hold was a mere accident. The officials say they believe the explosion was due to Ignition of gas given off by naphtha soap which formed part of the cargo.
