into other hands. OF the two alter
natives he eaid. he chose to remain in
politics, and to that end had for several
months been making ap effort to induce
certain members of the STANDARD Oil
Co. to enter the directory. The suit
entered by William Buchanan OF New
York, against the company had but
strengthened his determination and
preeipitated his retirement.

tof directors were to retire from the
Bay State Gas Go. and that buchanan
was to be paid the amount of his

To complete the negotiations pending
to induce the Standard Oil representa-
Stives to enter the directory it was
necessary to purchase the bonds and
stock held by Mr.. buchanan, and tn is
had been done at a price that would

controlling interest in the company and
that his two brothers, who had man.
aged the company in Boston, weuid
still continue in that position, and
that indire silly he.would have voice
in directing the affairs OF the company.
The relations between tho Bay State
Gas Co. and the Standard Oil Co.,
which owns and controls the Broolsline

monious and had been for some time,
and there was no foundation whatever
for any reports to the contrary.
