Soon after this conversation and under
standing between Senator Jones and myself,
happened in one of the committee rooms. in
which Senator Jones was interrogatius Mr.,
Searles (Whom did not know before that
time) upon the process and particulars relating
to he busness of refining. Senator Jones
nodded to me to take seat. which did. and
listened to the questions of Senator Jones and
the answers of Mr. Searlcs upon the subject.
After lie got tlrougli-it only occupied a few
minutes-and Mr. Scarles had left the room,
Senator Jones turned to ine and said that

sides fully and fairly, and to get reliable data
and information from the refining interest
side of the question. and that he was not at

Scarles. In fact. Senator Jones wus not at all
pleased with the result of the interview. in
which, of course. had taken no part. but
was simply listening. Senator Jones suggested
that it would be good thing for some one
who was regarded as high
