Landis shocked everybody present by adjourning the hearing until 10 o'clock Monday mornlny. Chicago, Ills., July C John V. Rocke feller, the only billionaire in the United States, and probably In the world, was made the central figure in a desperate not in me ieueiai uuhuiub i today in which the police clubbed a! crowd fighting to see him. The trust magnate was half stifled In the terrific struggle. After a brief hearing he was excused until Monday, The Standard Oil chief, Who 'main talned apparent calm, Was hustled through a crash in which the cries of the police, deputy marshals and se cret service men were mingled with the protests of Injured men. Women fainted In the heat of the strife. The oil king was crowded through the dense mass of curious Into the court room of Judge K. M. Landis without injury. He was ushered to a seat for witnesses and later called to the stand for the first time in his life In a court of record. The only pre vious time that he had been under the examination was twenty years ago, when he appeared before a legislative committee. Rockefeller was then forced to wait the procedure of the court. Judge f Landis Ignored him while he called petty criminals before the bar and sent them to the penitentiary for minor crimes. The oil man was even unable to learn whether he would be called as the first ' wltnMi whan .Tiwlffp Lnndls took UU the Standard Oil investigation. Effort to Kate Falls. An effort was made to save Rocke feller from the stand as soon as Judge Landis had disposed of the other cases. Attorney John 8. Miller made the last plea and was promptly over ruled. ; "The witnesses who were summon ed are here." said Mr. Miller during th preliminaries of the case. ' "I find ' however, that since your honor Issued the subpoenas for these witnesses that the term of court has expired. There. fore, I hold that your honor has no jurisdiction over these witnesses and I ask that they be permitted to go." "The motion Is denied and overrul ed," said Judge Landis. Frederick A. Wann, formerly gen eral freight agent of the Chicago & Altan Railroad, who was fined 1X000 In tho Alton rebate cases, was then called as the first witness. How He Got Into' Court. ' When Rockefeller, after the con ference with his attorneys was ready to leave the Commercial Bank build ing for the federal building, word was sent across th street to the federaj building In order to prepare the way. On the upper corridors of the latter building the police were struggling desperately with an excited crowd, that threatened to reach the propor tions of a mob. Men and women crowd ed and. crushed and scrambled In hope of entering Judge Landis' court room. Hundreds were massed in the stilling corridor, fighting with the officers of the 1:' w. In realization that Mr. Rockefeller would have to go through this mob. Captain Porter of the secret service, and a detail of his men, hurried to the I Commercial Rank building, where Rockefeller and his: brother, F. Q. Barstow, Attorneys Eddy, John S. j Miller and Moritz Rosenthal and others 'were in conference. I As the meeting: '.ended 'Captain Porter .stepped to the right side of the oil man ami two deputl s fell in behind. I TJie Street .lammed. , Oi:t:-id the building the street was found jammed. Rockefeller, looked at the crowd and then smiled pleasantly. "We shall be able lu cross, I think," he s: id. ' Th t dense crowd broke Into cries of "There-.", 'foal Oil Johnny; that's Rockefeller; there he is.". ... ' . Th.- 'magnate continued to smile. '., Through ti.o crowd:! oil the ' lower i floor. . Rockefeller . wan : takerr . to the elevator through lines of oV8cei9 and rushed to the upper Moor. , in the upper corridor. Rockefeller topped cut into' the struggling swarm. Tlu police renewed their struggle des perately and succeeded In making a narrow passageway for the oil king so narrow that he was nearly suffo cated in crowding his way -through. ! In.iide the court room there was more disorder. I "The marshal will keep ordji." said Judge " l.andis as RiR-kc.fclleiv-iunl his .party, were 'seated-. . t ; Rockefeller WBliin the !;m I Rockefeller advanced - within til' b.ir. ' Attorney John S. Miller took a seat at Hi-; head of the lawyer's table. Rockefeller sut down beside him. Wililain Rockefeller nut beside his brother. Attorneys Eddy and Rosen thal : sat behind them. Attorney George. R. Peck Joined these lawyers, while the other witnesses took seats elsewhere. Judge Landis then opened coUit and Ignoring the Standard oil men. 'culled the case of Martin Konda, a mall clerk who had been found guilty of taking $2 from a letter. He took it because he needed the money to support his family. It was a decided contrast to the case of the world's richest man, seated in court almost at the elbow of a man who stole 2 because he needed it. TH K I'lliST STOUY OF JOHN' 1. AT CHICAGO. Chicago, July 6. John D. Rocke feller, tho richest man In the world, guarded by private detectives and escorted by United States marshals, was taken into the federal building a few minutes before 10 o'clock to testify before Judge Landis. The oil trtist magnate was rushed through a cheering crowd, into an elevator and hurried to the court room. He was ready to 'take the witness chair, he said, at once. The magnate had previously held a conference with his attorneys In the commercial National Bank build ing. Crowds blocked his way into the structure and guards were neiv essarylo drive back the curious. Rockefeller smilingly stopped long enough in this crowd to pose for photos. "I am only sorry that I have hot time to talk freely." he de clared while his pictures were being taken. Mr. Rockefeller made his first ap pearance on the side porch of the Harold V. McCormick home, 88 Bellevue Place, shortly before o'clock. He was dressed in a black suit and carried a straw hat In his hand. William Rockefeller and Mr. and Mrs. McCormick were beside the trust president as he stepped outside to get into an automobile. He turned (or a moment to speak to the waiting newspaper men, jumped into, his seat and was whisked around the corner Into the Lake Shore Drive and driven down to.wa. "I have received your request for an interview," . declared Mr. Rocke feller aa be left the McCormick home and spoke to the newspaper men, "but I am unable at this time to talk with you. You see J. have a hard day before me and it Is near ly time for me to go on the witness stand. When I speak with you I want to have plenty of time for a long chat. As Is now, -1 am try ing to concentrate my thoughts on my court examination." "Mr. Rockefeller Is weary, any way," Interjected Mr. McCormick. "He does, however1, appreciate the way thut he has been treated by the Chicago newspaper men." "That Is true," added the bllllon- aire. 'You have been very kind to me." v ' Armed guards and a host of serv ants drove bach the crowd about the McCormick home to make a pas sageway for the big touring car in which the two Rockefellers sat. Mr. McCormack drove the machine, the chauffeur sitting at his left. The two oil kings were protected wliliin a glass hood. Just before Rockefeller left the house, a woman crank succeeded lu passing through the guard and reaching the McCormack house.'' Kite demanded admittance to the. pres ence of the magnate to secure Ills signature to a check for $1,000,000. The woman-, gave' the name of Mrs. Mary O'Connor. She was shabbily dressed In a black suit, with a faded black hut. Her gray hair was dis arranged. , She was hurried away through the crowd and warnod not to return. Mr.- Rockefeller was called to the witness stand at 1 0:40. He. walked spryly to tho stand, was sworn and placed at once tinder -ex-nmination. He bought from the first to Indicate to the court that ho knew little or nothing; of the workings of the Standard Oil Company, and that hia position as president u: purely honorary.

About, ten '.mouths ago Miss Lush was traveling in tho west, with I'rleuds, and one. day tho party stopped on the edgo oi an Arizona desert. She wandered away 'from tho party that night, and strayed into an Indian camp, '..where a score or so of the Indians woro dating a snake dance.

Evans, familiarly known as "Fighting Bob," will sail from the port of New York for the Pacific coast.

Admiral Evans will : have wiih his fleet 1,01 :i dllieers and 2S.97S en listed men, who are recognized as the best trained fighting men in the world. : While the -ostensible-" mis sion of this superb fleet of monster lighting machines is a peaceful one. its real errand is to show to Japan the great strength of the American navy. This fleet completely over shadows the entire, naval force of the Japanese empire, and it is but a part of the American, navy. ; japan s r ijciiit( .teiijjtii. Japan has but eleven battleships, ten armored cruisers and nineteen protected cruisers, while the United States has the overwhelming fore e of twenty-one battleships, eight armored cruisers' and forty-three protected cruisers. On the Asiatic station the United States has four magnificent armored cruisers, the West Virginia, the Col orado, the Pennsylvania and the Maryland. These vessels are sisters and "beauties." They are classed as cruisers, nut tneir tonnage oi i:!,f,S0 tons each and their heavy armament of four eight-inch guns and four six-inch guns entitles them to be classed as battleships, Presi dent. Roosevelt, Admiral Dewey, Sec retary Metcalf and the members of the general board believe that the way to preserve peace Is to be pre pared for war. They believe that the appearance of a powerful fleet of American warships on the Pacific coast will have a sobering effect on the Japanese and that the presence of these light ing monsters will be an assurance of peace. The sending of the fleet is not. in tended as a threat of war against Japan, but at the samo time the opinion prevails that if It is known the United States has. a powerful navy there will be less danger of Japan or any other nation picking a quarrel with us. The fleet, which will sail from the harbor of New York late nest fall, will consist of sixteen magnificent battleships and two cruisers. AMFN1STS WHO WILL F.XAMINH MRS. KDDY.
