ARE QUIZZING WITNESSES

SECRETS OF STANDARD OIL Federal Grand Jury at Cleveland Ex amined Six Witnesses Yesterday in Connection with the Investigation of Oil Octopus. Cleveland, O., July 10. The federal grand jury resumed its investigation' of alleged violations of interstate commerce laws by various railways and the Standard Oil company, with half a dozen witnesses on hni to give testimony. Among those who testifiedwere C. L. Meyers a clerk in the freight tariff department of the Lake Shore company. R. M. Huddleston, general auditor of the same company, and G. T. Curtis, sales ageat of the Standard Oil comnany. Several ad ditional subpoenas were issued, one of which was for J. C. C'vk, freight agent of the Lake Shoie road at Chicago. Witnesses called before the grand jury were no? communicative after leaving the court room and declined to discuss anything that transpired. John J. Sullivan, the district attor ney, was in conference by telephone with the district attorneys in Chicago, Kansas City and Jamestown, N. Y., where the government has under preparation proceedings similar to the case progressing here. It is understood that Sullivan will go to Washington before the grand jury completes its work to confer with the at4 torney general regarding the facts de veloped here in order to decide on the further course of the government.

Its Cleverness ot Design Is One of the Wondern of This Queer Weapon. The Mexicans' tse of the Lasso The Best "Jiooie" Story. Attiong the weapons which the wit of primitive man devised to aid him in the struggle for existence with animals far more formidably endowed by nature than himself, the way in which some were suggested to him by the objects which he saw around him is obvious enough, but of others wo ; are amazed by his iugeunity in their design and his skill in their use. The most striking instance of both this skill in use and cleverness in design is perhaps the boomerang. The perfection of balance, curve and weight in all its parts is so exact that modern dynamics have been quite unable to find a formula according to which a workable boomerang can be turned out by a carpenter, and the skill needed for the use of even the most perfect weapon is such that the untutored efforts of the most stalwart thrower of a cricket ball are ridiculously futile when he begins to make trial of it. It is scarcely too much to say that in spite of years of practice no white man has ever succeeded in becom'ng effective with it. We are told that there is in Australia a tree whose seed pod is so formed that when detached by the process of natural growth from the branch it whirls through the air with a curve analogous to that of the boomerang we see a faint suggestion of a similar movement in the gyrations of the seed pods of our own ash and it has been conjectured that the observant "black fellow" may have received from this the first hint of the weapon which be eventually fashioned into the wonderful boomerang. It is a conjecturo which will ever remain conjectural. Others of man's early weapons the club, the spear, the hatchet (originallyt we may suppose, a stone cleft by accident to a cutting edge) are easy to understand. Nature gave them almost ready made into his band. The almost universal use of the bow, a weapon of much more elaboration, dcs not suggest a puzzle nearly co baffling as the boomerang. The force of elasticity in the sapling would be apt almost literally to "jump to the eyes" of the savage as he made hl way through the bush and his friend in froqt released a bough from its tension to fly back and whip him across the face. To cut such a sapling, to fasten to either end of it a sinew or a stretch of a tough creeping plant, to fit an arrow on the string and discharge it by the relaxed tension of the released string are no doubt a series of operations demanding much ingenuity and probably much time for their development, but we can imagine the steps. We are not left ,won?aring. .Even the j throwing stick that very effective application of the principle of the lever by -which the wild man added so very greatly to tlie force and distance of his throw of his missile spear may be supposed to have been discovered bv accidental

r; uaiui, VIulr aim jcncujr 704 MAIN means which w can reconstruct: lhe boomerang still remains - the biggest puzzle. There Is another adaptation of a very simple instrument which we do not know to have such antiquity as some of these, yet must always seem very marvelous when we first witness the variety of uses and the perfection to which it has been brought that use of a bit of rope which we call lassoing. The value of the noose we can easily imagine to have been brought very early to the notice of man in his more or less natural state. Its efficacy In arresting his progress through a forest thickly hung with lianas must soon have struck him as one of the Inconveniences of his existence, but we do not seem to find record at a very early stage of any practical use to which he might have put the hint so given him. The greatest wonder In the history of the noose (second only to the marvelous skill exhibited by the experts in its use) Is that certain nations should have acquired the skill that they did acquire in it with so few generations of practice. We may probably take it for granted that the American red Indian did not begin to use it until after the Spaniards had made their way to America. The origin of the word is Latin, "laqueua." There is Portuguese "laco." We "lasso" or "lace" our boots every morning, presuming that we do not spend the day in slippers. But apart from that it is not easy to see that the lasso could have had value without the horse. It Is the Instrument of riders on horseback. There were no horses In Amer ica, according to all who claim to soeak with authority, until the Span- 1 lards arrived here. The apparition of their cavalry was so strange as to strike terror into the hearts of the na- j tives, who deemed horse and man f ome fearful composite animal. The most skillful artist in the world with the lasso is that compound who shall say what Is the exact mixture of the Ingredients? of Spaniard and Indian that is known as Mexican, especially the ?Jexican of the southwestern states of the Union. But wo read of various tribes of the red 'Indians, probably qiite free from any infusion of Em opcan blood, to whom the lasso had become so familiar aweapon, so trusted in cases of emergency, that they not only used it on the galloping bison and overthrew him on the prairie, but actually lassoed the funnels of the steam engines when the trains bean to Invade their land. It is possible that the result may have been to give a little shake to their confidence, but their skill in the use of the noose has abundant witness. The Mexican's dexterity has to be teeu to W believed.' At full gallop h will send the loop to encircle at hi will the neck, the horn, the leg of th steer blundering along beside him. Ills little horse knows the game as perfectly as he does, throwing himself back on his haunches into the besl possible position to stand the shock and the strain which he knows will arrive when the rope is drawn tight, oi which one end is about the steer and the other is fastened to the born of the big Spanish saddle. The bors stands firm and the steer tumbles. Sometimes the Mexicans will jide down and lapso the coyote or the wild turkey, for the turkey likc-s his legs better than his wings as means of locomotion, and will seldom fly again aftei he has been flushed and marked down. The actual evolution of the lasso may be imagined easily at first a big loop of rope thrown about the head of an animal beside which the rider galloped, then the free running noose at the end of a single rope. But the accuracy oi aim with the loop Ss the wonder. Aftei all. It cannot be nearly so subtle an affair as the boomerang throw, foi though perhaps the Mexican excels, the white cowboy is nearly if not quit his match. But the things that a Mexican can do with a rope or bit of rawhide are marvelous. lie will fit a frest rawhide "data" round the nut of a screw that has stuck, and unscrew it when the hide lias hardened, though the white mechanic, with his specially made wrench, has failed. You may & told this tale and it is a credible one by many who have worked oa the railways in the Mexican republic
