Guard Over the Property.
'ecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
Standard Oil Company has laid siege to an
oil lease on the Samuel Welch farm, in
Washington township. and took forcible
possession of it thirty-six hours ago and
has held its property against a competitor
by its superior number of men. Tonight a
small army of bumpers encamped beside a
great bonfire and pickets stationed in
wagon beds at each corner of the farm and
on top of the fence. They hold the fort
against Austin Lewis, his wife and faithful
dog. The trouble is all due to the land
owner, farmer named Welch. He allowed
the Standards lease to expire and gave an
other to Austin Lewis. After doing this he
gave the Standard another lease. The COM
pany endeavored to hurry another well
down to make good the original lease, but
was prevented by the tools becoming fast
in the hole. The Standard completed this
one and started another, which is also de-
layed In the same manner
When Lewis unloaded the timber for n
well on the lease the Standard dragged it
off against the protests of Lewis, his wife
and Welch. Lewis and his wife are staying
with Welch and declare that they will
move the timbers back and erect derrick
lust as soon as the army of bumpers moves
off If that is not until next spring. The
Standard is losing $4,000 a day in shutting
down it's wells to keep its bumpers at the
Welch farm.

UNIFORM WAGE SCALE
POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF THE GLASS
WORKERS CONFERENCE.
Manufacturers Adjourn to Await Ac-
tion of Their Employes-PrOpOsed
Merger of Companies.

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 15.-The representa-
tives of the Federation and Independent
window glass companies, who have been in
conference here discussing plans for har-
monizing conflicting interests. adjourned
tonight pending the action of the rival
organizations OF glass workers whose men,
bers have agreed by a referendum vote to
scale for all glass manufactures. Upon
the action of the workmen, the manufac-
turers say, depends in a large measure
the future of the trade. If the workers
agree to a uniform scale the manufacturers
will at once rearrange their price lists to
conform to it, and the fires will be started
I'm the factories as soon thereafter as pos
sible. 1t is claimed by some that the fix
ing of a uniform scale means that the
manufacturers will hereafter have but one
organization to deal with on the wage
question.
of the two glass workers unions will be
held at Pittsburg, probably tomorrow, TO
ta Ike up the question of uniform scale.
The manufacturers refuse TO discuss the
reported plan for the merging OF the Fed
Grafton and Independent companies If
control at least 15J0 pots. The manufac-
turers will meet in Columbus again next
week. when their action will be determined
largely by the result of the labor confer
ence.

their resources to succor the hungry fugi-

monks, was but as a drop OF water in an
ocean of fire. Scores of poor people must
have perished miserably but for the time

not use il there for running furnaces or to

pliances for cooking and heating by gas
in the form OF gas ranges and portable

Natural gas at 80 cents will cost only one

Yesterdays Hearing Devoted to Mat
ters Pertaining to Organization
and Incorporation.
THREE DUMMY" DIRECTORS
YOUNG MEN WHO WERE NOT LEGAL
HOLDERS OF STOCK.
At Least One Didn't Know Where
Some of the Company's Plants
Were Located.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The entire time at
to-day's hearing of the United States Ship
building Company investigation before Ref
cree Oliphant was given up to the taking
of testimony covering the incorporation and
organization of the company in New Jersey.
Frederick Seward, Horace Gould and Ken
meth McLaren, young men connected with
the Corporation Trust Company of New
Jersey, who either acted as directors or
incorporators of the Shipbuilding Company,
were called to. the stand and examined at
length as to the circumstances under which
they served the promoters of the enterprise.
Frederick Seward, who had served as a
director, was questioned for three hours,
the inquiry covering his connection with
the company from the time Alexander and
Green asked him to serve a director
until he resigned, when the permanent Off
GERS were elected. His stay on the stand was
prolonged because he would not admit that
he was a mere dummy" acting under the
orders of counsel of the company. He held
that he had used his independent judgment
in voting the many important ques-
tions determined by the directorate when
he, Louis DAILY and Harold Newman, of
the Corporation Trust Company, were the
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the bond
holders, questioned him at length with the
object of showing that he had not paid
for the share of stock that he held; that
he knew nothing Of the value of the prop
ertes acquired by the votes of himself and
his associates, and that everything done
by the directorate was at the instance of
counsel and the mere formal carrying out
of orders.
Seward admitted that he did not know
the location of the plant or the character
of the business of the Harlan-Hollings-
worth Company, Moore e. Sons and the
Canda Company, and said he was under
the impression that the Bethlehem plant
was located at Homestead. Seward and
the other temporary directors acted upon
the increase in the capital stock of the
company from s., 900 to $40, ,0O0. 900, voted for
the Issuance of securities to the amount of
S71 900 600, and decided other matters OF
importance, and the testimony of to-day
indicates an intention to attack the validity
of all those transactions.
1t is claimed that the original directors
were simply dummies and that while the
forms of the law were closely followed at
all of the meetings, none of the directors
was properly holder of stock, and that
none of their acts was of legal value
The hearing went over until next Wednes-
day, when Lewis Nixon will take the stand.
He was sworn at the close of the hearing
to-day, but did not give any testimony.
