AHOLD ON STAND TODAY Will Suffer Lapse of Memory Just as His Bess Did MARKETS FIX PRICES Archbold dot Into the Good Graces of Rockefeller and the Trust by Signing His Name on a Register Years Ago, "John I). Arclibold, $4 a Barrel" He Estimated That 80,000,000 Barrels of Oil 'Were Now Stored Because Production Exceeds Demnnd. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. 25. John D. Archbold, vice-president of the Stand ard Oil Company, who got into the graces of Rockefeller and also in the trust, by signing his name on a reg ister years ago "John D. Archbold, $4 a barrel," was on the stand today in the custom-house, where the gov ernment's suit to dissolve the Stand ard Oil Company, of New Jersey, is being tried. John D. Rockefeller, the serene, smiling, joke-appreciating old man, who has been the target for five days was such a hard nut to crack that he was never cracked at all. Mr. Archbold is expected to be just as hard. He was willing to testify to day, for the high priced lawyers of the trust were bis inquisitors, and he will be handled with the same silken gloves that were worn when' John G.- Milburn and others in the employ of the Standard were hand ling Mr. Rockefeller. ' When M. Milburn et at- are through with their fondling, gentle inquisi tion of Mr. Archbold, who has at tained some fame as a letter writer, he will come tinder the flrse of the government's "trust buster" Frank G. Kellogg. Then it wont" be near ly so nice for "John D. Archbold, $4 a barrel." It is probable that Mr. Archbold will suffer a lapse of mem ory, just as his "boss" did when the latter was asked certain things that had to do with the Standard Oil Co. after it became a trust in 1S82. In his opening testimony Mr. Arch bold told of the early history of the Standard Oil Company. He swore that the Standard had worked to develop a system for the benefit of the producer but he denied that it fixed the price of oil, explaining that the mnrkets of the world did that. He estimated that 80,000,000 bar rels of oil were now stored in this country because production exceeded the demand. -' Mr. Archbold arrived in the hear ing room ton minutes after the hour set for the opening of the session. He was dressed in a sombre black suit and wore a black bow tie, with thin white dots in it. The only jew elry he wore consisted of a thin gold watch chain, looped across the top of his vest. '-- It was interesting to note the re laxation in the discipline of the little court Blnce the end of John D. Rocke feller's testimony. The lawyers forj both the Standard OH Company and the government and even Judge Fer ris himself seemed to feel this. John D.'s careful punctuality and his natu-1 ral reserve on. the stand seemed to in fluence everybody in the room. This was not so today and the hearing re solved itself into more of an infor mal affair. MorlU Rosenthal, the famous' Chi cago attorney for the oil trust, con tinued his questioning of Mr. Arch bold begun yesterday afternoon. He said that oil in those days reached the consumer largely through Job bers and general merchants, the manufacturer selling to the jobber and the jobber to the consumer. The oil was stored by the Standard in barrels in all the large cities of tho country. The cities in which the oil wii stored had increased from 138 in 1S80 to 813 In 1888. In1 1906 the Standard has 3,573 of these sta tions. , " : Mr. Archbold at the request of Mr. Rosenthal gave a statistical history of the production of crude oil In Pennsylvania from 1870 to 1874. In 1870, he said, the production of crude In Pennsylvania was 5,260,746 barrels. In '71 It was 6,205,234 bar rels. In '72 It was 6.293,194. In 1873 It was 9,893,786 barrels. In 7874 it was 10,926,945. The maxi mum production of crude oil In Penn sylvania, he said, was reached in 1891 when It totalled 13,900,236 barrels. The production of crude in West Virginia in 1891, according to the witness, was 1,406,218. r STEAMER DINS MANY LIVES LOST Liverpool Liner Catches Fire in Mediterranean and Pas sengers Jump Overboard STEAMER IS BEACHED Two Hundred. Passengers Aboard When Steamer .Catches Fire Flames Spread Rnnldly and They " Are Forced to Jump Into Water Some of Them Picked Up by Tugs But Many Are Lost Rescue Boats Unable to Get Near Steamer Be cause of Intense Heat. (By Cable to The Times) London, Nov. 25. Reports from Malta in the Mediterranean state that many of the 200 passengers of the Liverpool liner Sardinia of the Pa- payannt-Ellerman line lost their lives , when the steamer caught fire a mile from shore and finally had to bo beached. People on shore in the city saw the steamer suddenly burst aflame. The blaze probably occurred from an ex plosion of the vessel's boilers so rap Idly did it spread. Tue passengars a few moments afterwards could be seen leaping overboard. The captain immediately turned his Vessel toward the shore and with what little headway he had left man aged to beach her. Passengers con tinued to leap overboard as the ves sel proceeded In shore. How many of them drowned it not known. Tugs started for the steamer from the harbor as soon as the flames were discerned but they were unable to get near her because of the intense heat.

The old Roman, who with a party of friends, passed through here yes terday, says the Cub's park in Chi cago is about as nice a park as ne( knows of, but that bis will far over shadow this. "I will build the greatest ball park that the world has ever known," said Comlsky. "The grand stand and the bleachers will be of steel, and there will be room for everyone. I In tend to spend close to $500,300 on this new park. The field will be all that skill, money and experience can produce." PRINCE DE SAGAN (By Cable to The Times) Paris, Nov. 25 That Hello De Sagan was accompanied by another woman when he came to America to urge Mme. Anna Gould to marry him was charged by Maltre Bonnet, coun sel for Count Bonl De Castellane, the first husband of Madame Gould, la his suit for the custody of his children and 5,000 "alimony" from his former wife. Maltre Bonnet made the startling allegation In his closing address to the court today, which was a bitter , arraignment of the De Sagans throughout. ; The entire argument of the count's attorney was to the effect that the at- misphere of the Do Sagan home was , not of the moral tone which would j make for the proper up-bringing ol the Castellane chulden. v Maltre Bonnet declared that De Sagan was separated from the woman who ac companied him to Amrlca only dur- Ins the marriage negotiation.

THANKSGIVING PARDONS ISSUED Two White Men and Two Neg. roes Are Now Given Freedom A HAPPY DAY FOR THEM There Will be at Least Fcmr Thankful Hearts in Raleigh Tomorrow Gov, Glenn Pardons Jeff Mace, Walter Newton, Will White, and Moses Pender All Were Serving Long Terms A Commendable Practice. Has Bettered Prison ' Discipline. , Governor Pardons Four This Time, As it is His Last Chance. Tomorrow will be a day of real thanksgiving to four men. These are Jeff Mace, Walter Newton, white men, and Will White ana Moses Pender. negroes. The governor today signed the documents that will set them free tomorrow. For four years Governor Glenn has been issuing Thanksgiving pardons. The best prisoners are always chosen, those who have given the peniten tiary officials the least trouble. Us ually those who receive their pardons are prisoners of good behavior serv ing long terms. "-'"'. .a It is a matter of record that the be havior of convicts, since It became known that two of the best would be freed each Thanksgiving, has Im proved wonderfully. Prison discip line has grown better each year since the Inauguration of this practice, every prisoner striving for a good rec ord. " In regard to these pardons Gov. Glenn. says: "The pardons are based, upon the recommendation of the superintend ent of the state prison, and are only granted where the defendants are long-term prisoners , who seem to ; have no friends or relative to take , any interest in getting uieir rvvstuas. and have made for themselves good records as prisoners. I believe that jit would be an Incentive to better or- . . lto nhacirvsnrf, dlnclnltnit J if these long-term prisoners could giving day. "Heretofore I have only granted two pardons on Thanksgiving day, but as this is the last time I can ex ercise this clemency; I Issue four par dons In the following cases: . "Jeff Mace, white, convicted In Madison superior court, in 1896, of murder, and sentenced to 15 years. "Walter Newton, white, convicted 1894, in Granville superior court, of murder, and sentenced to 30 years "Will White, colored, convicted In 1S93, in Iredell superior court, of j burglary, and sentenced to 25 years, J "Moses Pender, colored, convicted . in is96, in Edgecombe superior court ; 0( murder in the second degree, and sentenced to 20 years.! "All of these prisoners have per fect records, and their pardon is asked for and recommended by the prison authorities,'' . The governor also Issued a pardon to Robert Lilliston, of Lynchburg, Va. Lilliston's father has been work ing hard for his son's pardon and finally secured it by having Judge Ward and Solicitor Jones endorse the application for pardon. It will be remembered that Lillis ton was convicted of killing Charles E. Smith in the Union depot here three years ago. Both men were fakirs who attended the great state fair. Lilliston was sentenced to 14 years in the penitentiary. NO REAL NEGKOES. '.Al,p nelng Wiped 0ut by Beln(j Mixed With White Blood.
