OF HIS OWN.
Bailey, of Texas, to BE investigated in
Connection with Standard Oil.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE lower house
pointment of a committee of seven to in
v~estigate charges preferred against Con-
gresham Bailey that he was interested in
securing a reinsurance of a permit to the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company to do business
In Texas after the company's charter had
been annulled.
The Bailey investigation results from
charges that there has been a willful viola
ton OF the~Xexas antitrust laws in grant
ing a permit to do business in the State TO
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company. and that
Bailey is responsible in a large measure for
the granting of the permit. The matter was
aired at the recent state convention, AMI
taken a hand in securing the permit. but
said he did so merely on requests from
David r. Francis, Of Missouri. and Joseph
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who had asked
him 10 see II the company could not be re-
instated in the State. Mr.. Bailey added
that he considered IL materially to the in
terest of the State to have this p
doing business within its domain. and hence
his interest was entirely philanthropic. On
the floor of the House to-day his friends
insisted that he did not fear the investiga-
ton. but rather sought 1t, in view of the
insinuatiOns that had been made. Mr..
Bailey Is on the ground personally TO look
after his interests. The preliminary move
ments OF the investigation will be awaited
with much interest by all political factions,
Us the Legislature will have to vote for a
United States senator or Tuesday. and Mr..
Bailey is a candidate for that position, with
enough instructed votes to elect him.
