at tho WnMorf-Astoi-ln hotel.
J. A. Moffntt, nresldeut of tho Htnndaril
Oil Company of Iiullaim. said he was con
sulted nhoflt tier organisation of the Ite-
public, ami stilted fruukly that ho uiIvIhimI
tils associates to ho careful ns to whnt they
siiId nliout th»* transaction*. When recalled
by the Htnndnrd lawyers, ho wns not ao
sure that tic had done this, although he
said his Impression wns that R> had.
For the most part, Mr. Moffatt was a
very frank witness, and he readily Ad
mitted the ownership of control by the
Htandnrd In tho three accused companies.
"Wns there any cnnipotltlo ln*twoeii the
Htnndnrd and tho Water»*ISeree 4'oiupniiy
In Missouri between 1901 and 1906?" asked
Mr. iladiey. ✓
"There wns n division of. territory, and
I respected It,’* replied the witness.
“Standard Oil men have done more
to prove their guilt In their own at
tempt to prove their Innocence than I
was able to prove when I sought, a year
ego, to convict them.”
In these words Attorney General Her
bert 8. Hadley, of .Missouri, announced
today his elation at tho outcome, so
far. In the resumed toklng of testimony
before Commissioner Robert A. An
thony at the Waldorf-Astoria.
*Tve got Just what I want,” the pros
ecutor contlnuc*d. ‘I would have be-in
well satlslled If I had been able a year
ago to have obtained such Incriminat
ing evidence as that given here by
James A. Moffatt, president of the
Standard OH Compnny of Indiana.’
When the continued hearing
opened the first witness wns Walter C.
Teagle. His recollection was faulty In
many places. When Mr. Hadley ques
tioned him with regard to the trans
fer of Schofield, fichurtnnn and Teagle
to the Republic Oil Company, which
Is now alleged to be a subsidiary con
corn of the Standard, he remembered
little. He could not say what the prlc
paid for the business of Schofield,
Schurman and Teagle was.
Cold Dust binding as well ns possible,
of the white dead only* the body of
Lnvell Yerger has been recovered.
Wade Quaekenbosp was heard to call
for help soon after the explosion, but
according to the reports of those who
were on the boat, escaping steam soon
smothered his cries. Captain Quack-
enboss was not seen after tho accident.
When the Cordlll left hero late this
afternoon she was listing heavily, and
her cargo of 1,000 sacks of cotton seed
and 85 Utiles of cotton will be lost.
Engineer's Story.
Engineer J. T. Druce tells the follow
ing story of the explosion:
“Wo were, lying nt tho Gold Dust
landing this morning taking on a cargo
vften I noticed a small quantity
wuter oozing through the boiler,
suspected that something was wrong,
and proceeded to make an examination.
About this time the Scovell broke her
head line and drifted so that I did not
have time to mako a thorough exam!
nation at that moment. As soon ns I
got her back to tho hank, I crawled
on top of the boiler and proceeded with
the Investigation. I hnd Just gotten
down from the holler when the explo
sion occurred. The catastrophe, I be
lieve. was due to a defective boiler
plate.”
SHONTS DECLARES NEGRO
IS WORTHLESS AS WORKER '
, ON ITHSMUS OF PANAMA
Washington, Dec. 20.—The report of
Chairman Shonts, of the Isthmian canal
commission, for the year ending Du
mber l, 1900, has been made public.
He says that during the year the first
stage of canut work, that of prepara
tion, has virtually been |>assed, nnd the
commission finds Itself In position to
nter upon the second stage, that of
actual construction of a lock canal at
un elevation of 86 feet, authorized by
ongress In Juno Inst.
Tho canal zone has been placed In a
satisfactory sanitary condition, yellow
fever has been* eliminated; adequate
rfhetter for the workmen has been pro
vided and hospitals of lurge capacity
have been made ready.
No Death in Three Month*.
He says that In tho past three months
no death has occurred among tho 6,000
Americans on the Isthmus. There are
about 1,200 women nnd children In
the canal zone. He tells of hotels and
mess houses which luvve been estab
lished to provide food for tho em
ployees. The best of food Is being
served nnd whatever profit Is made
will be spent In keeping up the stand
ard of food supply. The commission
Is planning to build club houses and
buildings which may be used for wor

supply their uctunl bodily necessities,
with the result that while the commis

26,000 men tho dally effective force
Is many thousands less. Many of them
settle In the Jungle, building little
shacks, raising enough to keep them
alive, nnd working only a day or two
occasionally, ns they see fit. In this
way, by getting away frorq tho com
mission's quarters, practical coptrol
over them Is lost, and It becomes very
dlfficQlt for foremen to calculate on
keeping their gangs filled.
Are Not Nourished.
”The most serious question In regard
to this class of laborers Is that of
feeding them, ordlnury methods having
failed to Induce them to take suffi
cient nourishment to give them tho
physical strength necessary to enable
them to work efficiently. To such an
extent is this true that the commis
sion Is seriously debuting whether to
make the basis of employment a certain
rule per hour and board, or it certain
rate per hour und deduct a fixed
amount per day for hoard.
“Th experiment with laborers from
northern Spain has proved very satis

more than double that of the negroes,
but they stand the climate much better.
