MISSISSIPPI WILL TACKLE
THE OIL TRUST OWNERS

JACKSON, Miss, March u.--It is an
nounced that as soon as Attorney General
McClurg gets through with the criminal
docket in the supreme court that he is
going to take up the cases against the oil
mill trust in this state.
1t was charged on the floor Of the SEN
ate during the recent session of the legis-
lature that there was an oil mill trust and
that IL controlled the price of cotton seed
in this territory. Suit was entered year
or more ago against the oil mill trust of
the state but the case was carried to the
supreme court of the state and the law
under which the action was brought was
declared faulty and it was found impossi-
BILE to prosecute under this law. The at
torney general then made certain recon-
mendations to the legislature in line with
the decision Of the supreme court and the
legislature which adjourned last week
passed a law in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the attorney general,
and 1t is beneved that 1t will stand the
test of the courts. State Senator Noel or
Holmes county has informed the attor-
rey general that If the law does not hold
good that he will pay all of the cost of the
test case.
According to the exposures which were
made in the senate some time ago the
cotton seed oil trust has been carrying
things with a hign hand in Mississippi,
Louisiana and Tennessee. This trust has
dictated the price Of cotton seed. The
mill men, IT is learned, are relying on the
fact that the officers of the trust were
men living either in Memphis or New
Orleans. 1t IS stated that no Mississippi
men were officers in the association which
fixed the price OF seed, but according 20
what can be learned nearly all the promi-
nent mills in the state held membership
in the association. Under the new low the
attorney general will bring suit to forfeit
the charters OF all these mills and to pun
ish them by fine for entering into an IN
lawful combine. The cases under the new
law are all made returnable in this city,
and the batch of suits will all be entered
at one time against the mills In the circuit
court in this city. The mills Will be repre-
sented by some of the best lawyers in the
South

THINKS GREENE AND GAYN0R
WILL YET BE CAUGHT

MACON, March 10.-Assistant United
States District Attorney Alex Alderman,
who is aiding Special Assistant Attorney
General Marion Erwin in conducting the
prosecution against the Greene and Gay
nor defendants at Savannah, was in the
city last night. He said the prosecution
is not in the least worried about the dis
appearance of D. B. Greene and John
Gaynor, no matter where they might go;
that while there is no extradition treaty
between the United States and some of
the other countries. yet the comfy be-
tween nations would make 1t possible for
the defendants to be captured and re-
turned no matter where they are He
cites the case of Hunter, who left At
lanta, and was afterwards found in Mo-
rocco. He says it would be very unusual
for nation to refuse to allow the United
States to bring away party or parties
who are wanted for violating law.

TELEeRAMs. -

Robert L. Berner. OF Forsyth. who was
a candidate for governor in 1855 and who
was president OF the state senate in 1895
and 1897. has written a letter TO Dupont
Query. candidate for governor. asking
him to correct the statement made by Mr..
Query. which statement was that Mr..
Berner and Mr.. Terrell, who is also a
candidate for. governor, engineered, by
signing the name OF F. NJ. Potts. OF At
ianta. TO a telegram, the nomination of
Berner as senator from the I'd district at
the senatorial convention in session at
Forsyth.
Mr.. Berner. so it is said. is angry at the
manner in which Mr.. Query has been
putting his name In his campaign speeches
and wants a correction OF 1t at once. He
saws in his letter 10 Mr.. Guerry that
unless he makes the correction immedi-
ately he viii seek the proper channels 20
make the correction himself. Mr.. Berner
was IN Atlanta Tuesday and cOn1ded TO
several Of his friends what he had done.
To his friends and in the letter to Mr..
Query Mr.. Berner stated that he knew
nothing OF such a telegram, and had never
heard before that he and Terrell had en-
gineered his nomination until Mr.. Query
made the charge. and he wanted a cor
rection made, as the charges were not
true.
II is stated in political circles today
that IN event Dir. Query should insist
that what ne says is true, that Mr.. Ber-
ner will reply In a salty letter TO the news
papers. and he might invite Mr.. Guerry
10 meet him on the stump to support the
charges which he IS now making. Mr..
Berners has retired from politics. so he an
nounces. but according TO statements OF
his friends today, does not like to be
placed IN a false position. which he al
leges Mr. Query IS doing.
From a reliable source IL is learned to-
day that Mr.. Terrell did not write such a
telegram referred 10 by Mr.. Query. and
that Mr.. Berner knew absolutely nothing
OF any telegram II Is also stated that Mr..
Terrell knew OF no kilograms.
The presence Of Mr.. Berner Tuesday
night and the fact that he had written
Mr.. Query caused widespread interest at
the Kfmbali. and today. since II has gone
abroad that Mr.. Berner has been in cor
respondence with Mr.. Query. the poliu-
clans and others who have heard Of the
affair are anxious 20 know what Mr..
Guerry's reply viii be-
Mr.. Berner was emphatic In his denial
TO his friends Tuesday that he and Ter
rel engineered any scheme during the
convention. and he said that he thinks IL
IS due himself that the matter should be
corrected BY the man who is making the
charge. II Is true. however. that Mr.. Ter
rel assisted Mr.. Berner in his race for
the presidency OF the senate against w.
4. Dunwody. OF Brunswick. and Mr.. Ber-
ner Is grateful. so his friends say, for that
support.
