Hundreds of tanks, each with a capacity of several hundred thousand galions. dot the grounds of the cil works, huge pipes ehoot forth the light making fluid snips v.hk'h carry it away to all points of lite, globe. Steamers, schooners and barges arc used bear away this enormous output.

The process of loading vessel with oil is interesting one. There arts no stevedores Point Breeze. A tanker comes up to the dock, Ucr iron tank door3 are opened, a pipe hose is connected from the plus at the wharr, the stopcock turned and oil Slows into the "tanks in the vessel's hoid at the rate of 145 gallons an hour. The hose has interior chamber of six inches and so great is the rush of oil through it that the fluid pouring a.t the opening is of snowy whiteness and as dangerous as dynamite. Steamers that sail under all flass come lo Point Breeze.

Thoy carry oil to China, N'or Tho accounts given of the place," he says, "vary considerably, tnougn n. appears certain that it is the court of Itnal orcicai to which all cases that the local ju ju men, for one reason or another, do not wish to decide, are referred. The threat of "long ju ju" is held over his trading boys by tho chief, and, it being the general opinion that there is no return for the person sent, the hold thus established is tolerably complete. "Still, cases occur of slaves whose misdeeds have been repeatedly punished, and whom their, master wishes to get rid of; the master assembles a court of the chiefs and the offender is sentenced to be deported to 'long ju ju," and he then proceeds on his journey, under the care of a ju ju man, who, the natives affirm, conducts him, blindfolded and by a circuitous route, to the fatal spot. "What eventually takes place has never been divulged, and the popular accounts have probably been spread by the chiefs to overawe their slaves.

The supreme judge is said to be a priestess possessed of the power of knowing all things. When brought before her the offender is merely told that he can depart; if guilty he becomes transfixed to the spot, and water gradually arises around him until he is submerged. Another version is that the place is situated on an island, and that the victim, on being handed over by his conductor, goes through eomo form of mock trial, always resulting in conviction, whereon he is cast alive into a huge tank of boiling human blood. Ju ju men stand around, armed with two edged swords, with which they hack the body to pieces and stir up the contents of the tank." PAHTICULAS. Mrs.

She comes to Philadelphia empty and as soon as hor tanks tire cleared and dried the hose Is attached and the oil flows in. Within nine hours sho has her full cargo aboard and is ready for sea. The method of measuring the amount of oil In a vessel's hold is simple.

The oil is convoyed from one of the million gallon tanks. The line from the land tank to the ship Is allowed to fill and then the measurement of oil in the tank is taken. There are so many gallons to the foot iu the tank and all that need be done to find Its capacity is to sink a lead tape. A pumping station supplies the power by which the oil is forced through the pipe lines. The statistics of tho Collector of the Port of Philadelphia shows that from January 1 to December SI of last year 391, r5" gallons of oil was shipped from this port, an Increase of 76,000,000 gallons over the previous ear.

and stout, but very erect and alert, entered the room. The "King" looked sheepish. "This is my mother. Mis' Banks," said Wyandank Pharaoh. The old woman, her eyes as bright as those of a bird, took not tho slightest notice of the greetings of her son's visitors.

She looked at her son. i "Vou. 'Dank," said she. "I want io use that horse an' wagln, don't you know that? i Now, you git right out an' see I git It." "Yes said the King, meekly, ana Disappeared. "Wo should very much like to have a photograph of you.

Mrs. Banks," began one of the King's visitors, "and if "Well, you won't get it," snapped the Queen Dowager, seizing the poker and committing assault and battery upon the stove. "I don't want you here, either, an' the quicker you hoth git out the better I shall be pleased." "We'd make the photograph a very pretty one," said the photographer, insinuatingly. "Yes, I dessay." sneered tho old woman. "I've hecrd that before.

They was a magazine promised just that same thing, an' made me look just as ugly as they could, with Jong hair hangin' all around my face an' all sorts of dis'grec'ble things. I won't have no more of it, an' no more won't "Dank." The King, meanwhile, was making "sign talk" from the background, tho signs, being interpreted, meaning. "Come outside away from the Queen Dowager." These signs being obeyed, the King murmured: "Now, whay's that two dollars?" When the money was produced the King pocketed it hastily, remarking as he did so that "it wan't much," and then posed himself hastily against the woodpile, out of sight of the Queen Dowager, he thought. It was not to be, however. Hardly had the focus been adjusted when the Queen Dowager appeared in the doorway with an ax.

The ax may have been either accidental or Intentional, but it led to quick action with tho camera. "Now, I don't want you 'round hero no mo, said the Queen Dowager, firmly, "an' I'll thank you to git out." Which thing was accomplished. The land surrounding the shacks and huts of tho Indians is good, rich soil, upon which either garden stuff or crops could be raised. Barely an acre of it is under cultivation, however, the population of Freetown apparently preferring to get a hand to mouth living from the white residents rather than to grow any vegetables or crops either for market or their own consumption. Among the other Indian characteristics that have been transmitted through the devious paths of Intermarriage the ancient objection to work seems to be the most prominent.

Tho average Indian house could be erected for $100. A white man and a good many negroes would be ashamed to llvo in such a comfortless, dirty and shiftless way, but this band seems to be content to freeze in winter and fry in summer rather than make a determined effort for better things. Even tho meeting place in which the "Tribal Meetings" are held or are supposed to be held is a shack that is hardly good enough for a mule stable. To make up for its constructive shortcomings, however, it bears an absurdly pretentious sign, describing tho shanty as "Tho Union League Club of East Hampton." Liquor Is forbidden upon Indian reservations, but perhaps mixed blood confers immunity, for tho most prominent features of the landscape in Freetown were tho heaps of broken whisky bottles and liquor flasks lying near most of the shanties. In striking contrast to the condition of affairs at Easthampton was that seen at the Shinnccock Reservation, near Southampton, L.

I. There seemed to be no more pure blooded Indians at Shinnecock than at Easthampton, but the entire standard was higher. The people were neither servile nor aggressively independent. The children were clean and well dressed. Moro than sixty of them attended school and were taught by a thoughtful, educated and observant teacher a Virginian who was alive to the possibilities of his pupils, and who, both as pastor of tho church on the reservation and as the school teacher had striven with might and brain to inculcate thrifty and modern methods and to raise the standard ot his charges.

It does not seem to be too much to say that most, of the differences existing between the conditions on the Freetown and on the Shinnecock Indian allotments aro due to the work of this man and to the Intelligent support which has been given to him by the leaders and head men of tho Reservation. The Shinnecock reservation lies two miles from Southampton and about ten from Good Ground, L. I. It is situated on land that Is nearly flat, destitute of timber, sandy In spots, but In the main good land upon whirh crops and vegetables could bo raised by in I telligent effort. The reservation contains an amount of land variously stated at 300, 600 i and S00 acres.

There seems to be some doubt about Its exact size, even in the minds of the Southampton authorities. Scattered over this tract of land, sometimes at long intervals and sometimes close together, are tho houses of the Shinnecock tribe. Some of them are cheap little shacks though the worst seems better than the best Freetown can show but the majority are neat, comfortable little frame structures, showing signs of taste both in exterior decoration and In the arrangements of the little gardens or door yards about them. Several of the houses were entered upon Invitation and wort? found to be as different, as possible from those of Easthampton. All wore comfortably furnished; many even showed an approach to the minor luxuries of life.

in one house on the Shinnecock reservation there were found three of the most Intelligent and Interesting people of the tribe Charles Elsazer. his wife, and Wallace Cuffee. Mrs. Eleazer is the daughter of the last full blood Indian chief of the Shlnne 10. Sr fTonl.

The contention of the railroad is that the Montauk tribe, as an organization, has disappeared. This the Indians deny. Vpon the proof of the extinction or existence of the Indian rests the case. 9 TO One.

The other day the King wore a battered soft hat. with a narrow brim, a well worn overcoat and trousers supported by a belt that shirked its work. If the King's ancestry showed anywhere it was in his walk. resembled in some measure the pigeon toed "hitchy" walk of the Western redman.

"Why do they call you the 'King'?" tho Montatik chief was asked. 'Causo I am the King, I s'pose!" replied Wyandank, as he methodically stacked his pile of firewood. "How iong have the Montauks had a king? Most tribes have a chief, have they not?" "I d'know," roplied the King of the Montauks. "They've called 'em kings as long as I can remember. It's about the same thing as chief, I guess." "Are you the hereditary chief or the elected chief?" "See here, now," said the King, leaning against his firewood, "I ain't agoin' to talk about all this fef nuthin'.

I ain't goln' to put money In nobody's pocket less'n I gets some ot it fer myself. So now, "fore we go on. what do I get out of this It turned out that for the sum of $2, cash in hand, the King of the Montauks would consent to talk about the troubles of his tribe and would pose for one photograph, Additional pictures of the royal family would be extra. There followed a long conversation concerning tho claim of the Indians to the lands comprising Montauk Point. This claim will be discussed subsequently.

It developed that the Indians hold that their claim is good upon the land as long as the tribe exists as such; that is to say, as long as the tribal customs, government and organization continue. From that point the following conversation occurred. "How many of the old Indian customs do you keep up, Wyandank? Do you have any special ceremonies when a child is born?" "No." replied the King, "Nothing special. We just have it registered down to tho town. They's a law if you don't." "What happens when a man is married? Tin vou have any sort of an Indian wedding?" "No said Wyandank Pharaoh, "wo gets a preacher up tcr the house, or else goes down t'church, an' that's all that's to it." "No Indian ceremonies, then?" "No." "And how about your burials? When a big man dies, what do you do? Is there any old custom you follow out?" "It's just 'tout like anybody else funeral, said Wyandank.

"We don't do different from other folks; jus' buy a cawf'n an' the minister says a piece. It's Just a buryln'." "Have you got a special cemetery a bury ing ground?" "Oh, yes. we've got one. It's Just down there a piece." "How do you mark the graves? Any special Indian way?" "All depen's." Replied the King. "Ef a man's folks Is flr.ed right ho gets a stone, an' so.

on. Otherways he gets a board, er a shingle er sumfin like that." "Then you don't keep up any of the old Indian customs, do you, Wyandank?" "Oh, sure we do," answered the King, cheerfully. has all the Indjin ways, still." JS "How do you mean? You have no Indian ceremonies for births, or deaths, or marriages. What do you do?" "Well," said the King, volubly, "we have our tribal meetin's and then we makes sort of laws for ourselves bylaws dey calls 'em." "Do any of your people speak the Indian language?" "No, none of 'em. We all talks just liko now; no dlff'ent." "Do you still use the Indian words for anything; any of the thing3 you use?" "No." "Don't you know the Indian words for anything around here?" "Lan's sake! No," chuckled tho King.

"I don't know any of that old time stuff." "Didn't you ever hear your father, or your grandfather use any of the old Indian words? Didn't they speak the language?" "No, s'r," said the King, with emphasis. "Never did none of those things. Didn't know howi" Further conversation with the King of the Montauks elicited the statements that he had never heard a word of the Indian language in his life; that none of his people had and that he did not think any of their relations ever had. Aside from the so called "tribal meetingB" none of the aboriginal customs were preserved in tho tribe. The King wore no distinctive dress and exercised no particular authority over his people.

None of the Indian ceremonies or peculiarities had been preserved and he said he did not positively know that any full blooded descendant of the original tribe still lived. Concerning tho "tribal meetings" there seemed to be equal uncertainty. First Wyandank said that they were held at regular intervals; then that they were held "when they felt like it." He professed not to remember when the last meeting wa3 held, and, although bo said he made laws for his people, he said he could not recall the provisions of any of the measures he had instituted. Later he said the "laws" wero made at the "tribal meetings," but he could not remember them. Wyandank said that he had been elected King of tho Montauks.

but afterward claimed to be the hereditary ruler of the tribe and said that the Montauks could not meet and choose another leader. In fact, the only points upon which Wey andank Pharaoh. "King of the Montauks." seemed to be at all clear were those relating to the tribal lawsuit. He knew the names of the lawyers concerned and was in the full swing of his eloquence concerning It when 1 the door opened aud an elderly woman, short Continued From Page 1. In? a more promising conversation a newspaper clipping was shown to hor iu which it was stated that the government intended to send Professor McGee to learn something about the tribal customs and tongue of the Montauk Indians.

The took the clippingand held it upside down. For three or four minutes she studied it intently, making no remark and only betraying by her motionless eyes and the position of the paper that she was not reading it. "If your sight is not good," suggested her visitor, politely, "I'll read that to you." The woman handed over the paper with I evident relief. "I can't make nuffin out of it," she giggled. "Don't ask me.

I don't know," with another giggle, was her comment after the Presently the King, ariving a sctubbj horse hitched to a wagon loaded with wood, drove up. He descended from the wagon in leisurely state and greeted the driver, whom he knew. The King, at close range, is not an impressive figure. He appears to suffer from some malformation of the hips which gives him a peculiar look of breadth at that point. His body seems to be poorly developed and tho general effect is that of the trunk of a boy on the long but weedy legs of a man.

The same peculiarity of tho hips gives the King a swaying walk, as though his legs were hinged directly to the sides of his body. Facially the King of the Montauks is more satisfactory. He has a long, narrow head, with a high, fairly prominent and rounded forehead. The nose is long and straight, with nothing of the African about it; the nostrils are thick but sensitive. Tho ears are small, well shaped and set close to the head.

He wears a thin, weedy moustache, resembling the celebrated "three hairs and a bristle" of Thomas B. Reed. His hair is the straight, wiry, coarse black hair of the Indian or Malay. He wears it trimmed in the American fashion. The eyes are large, brewn and thoughtful, with a tinge of melancholy that saves the face from being ordinary.

It is the eyes, too. which overshadow and make one oblivious to a peculiar shaped gorge in tho midst of thick bush. 1 ONG JU JU has been found by the British expedition to back of tho Ouinc coast. The "ion ju ju" Is a fetich or object of worship of which little is known beyond the fact that it is the fetich most dreaded by the West African tribes. The terrorism which the Aros have long exercised over the neighboring tribes has been due in great measure to their guardianship of the "long ju ju." The Aros are one of the most savage and warlike tribes in Africa and one that carries on an immense slave trade, practically all its captives being sold into bondage.

Four British columns have been engaged in a great circling movement which is intended to enclose the enemy in a net, and each one of them has seen desperate fighting, but it is column No. 4, under Colonel Mon tanaro, which has destroyed the largest of the Aro villages and fought its way through the thick hush to the lair of the long ju ju. The Aros live in fourteen separate villages built in a great circle around the forost of thick brush, in the center of which is the temple the ju ju. Nearest is the town of Aro Chuku, upon which the English column advanced, but which they found deserted, the natives having fallen back into the forest. The town covers five square miles, but the bouses of which it was composed proved to be so utterly filthy that the English commander ordered them burned, although it had been intended that the place should be occupied permanently.

Bushhouses were thrown up hastily, but the troops hardly were encamped before the fierce Aros attacked them pluckily. Beaten off, they attacked again in the night and during all the time the town was occupied a "dropping" fire was kept up from the forest. Next morning the column set out determined to. find, the temple of the ju ju. To accomplish this took hours of hard marching and harder fighting in the bus'' which grew thicker and more difficult to i ietrate as they advanced.

In front of the column an advance guard of trained scouts was thrown out, for the Aro has learned to intrench himself strongly where the brush is the thickest, and many a British column has marched straight up to such an ambuscade and never suspected until a slaughtering volley was poured in on them. The force suffered no severe losses and finally struck a well trodden path which led to the mysterious home of the "long Ju ju." The peaceful natives for miles around the scene of the present operations against tho Aros are rejoicing over the British victory. For them the victory of the "white man's Ju ju over the black man's ju ju" means that they will no longer have to fear the depredations of the slave hunting Aros and will be relieved of the terror of the power and vindictiveness of the "long ju ju." The ju ju is a god or fetich whose name is whispered by the natives of west Africa with awe and terror. In his mysterious temple, hidden away in the heart of a mighty forest, hundreds of human beings have been put to death every year as sacrifices and thousands more sold into slavery to enrich the gang of priests who have carried on tho awful rites with which the worship of the god was accompanied. More human sacrifices have been offered to long ju ju than to any other fetich in Africa.

The fame of the ju ju has extended from the Niger on tho west to tho Cross River on tho east and from the north to the sea. According to the native belief the god was all powerful and to dsobcy the commands of his priests meant death. The ju ju was supposedly gifted with prophetic power, too. and with tho promise of wonderful revelations as to the future thousands of ignorant natives have been induced to make pilgrimages to his temple. Some of these were killed and offered up by the priests as thank offerings, some were made prisoners and a few allowed to go free.

These supposed that their comrades had been eaten by the pitiless god and the tale they told on returning to their villages fed the "flames of superstitious dread of the Ju ju's power. Until the priests who have for so many years "officiated" in this uncanny den are captured it will be impossible to tell exactly what went on there, but according to native testimony the wretched pilgrims who visited the place were addressed In an impressive monotone by a concealed representative of and had ib superstitious questions answered and tho various feuds settled.

The fact Is that all these Indians, and especially the tribe, or part of a tribe, which made its home on the site of the present Shinnecock reservation, were seafaring Indians.

Old records show that many thctn made long voyages, sometimes as hired sailors and sometimes in their own little vessels. There Is evidence, too. that many of the men found wives in foreign parts and that some of tho women, sailing with relatives, found husbands among slrunge peoples and brought them back to the reservation to live. It was to a shipwreck. In fact, that the practical extinction of the pure blooded Shinnecock Indians was due.
