STANDARD DID NOT REFUSE.
Was Not Asked by Bureau Of Corpora
lions to Furnish Statistics.

Owing to misinformation a report was
circulated a few days ago to the effect that
the Standard Oil Company had refused to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
any information regarding the operation OF
that syndicate. The facts are that the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor through
the bureau of corporations, of which James
r. Garfield is the commissioner, has not
yet asked any corporation for figures
garding its business, and what action the
department will take in the event of refusal
being made to requests that are directly in
line with the law under which they are or
ganized and operated is a bridge that will
have to be crossed when il is reached In
the language of a high official of the de-
partment:
This branch of the government service
has not been in operation long enough for
us to have arrived at the point of asking
for information regarding working plans
of companies, and the story to the effect
that the Standard Oil Company had
fused to give information on our request
was manufactured out of whole cloth. We
have not asked them for any figures and
it cannot be now said when We will be
ready to ask for them. That is a matter In
the hands of Commissioner Garfield, who is
formulating his plans for a campaign
cording to the letter of the law. If We meet
with refusals we shall probably have to de-
We some means by which the law can be
carried out, but at this time 1t is not mat
ter for discussion.
Whether the books of the department or
the reports that are made to it by corpora
tons will be open TO inspection. or whether
or not they VIII be made public, IS entirely
in the discretion of the President and no
information has been given by him to this
department relative to his wishes or in
tended course in that respect"

m ms organizations of the United States

ate was formally inaugurated late this af-
ternoon in the chapel of the Church of the

Although in the general call sent out by
Mrs. Frederick Schoff of Philadelphia,
president of the national congress of Moth
ers' Clubs. was extended an invitation to
attend the convention to men as well as
women. there were but comparatively few
of the former in attendance. Those men
present were clergymen of the various
Protestant churches.
The convention was called to order by
Mrs. Schoff who explained that the meet
ing was called for the purpose of protesting
against the seating of Mr.. Smoot in the
Senate. Immediately after introducing Rev.
DR.. d. j. Mcmillan, pastor of New York
Presbyterian Church of New York city,
Mrs. Schon announced that President

O'Clock this afternoon, and Mrs. Schoff and
her associates left Immediately for the
White House. DR.. Mcmillan prefaced his
address by referring to the interest the
movement had aroused among American
women. He also gave Il history of the Nor
mon Church and made statements regard
ing its many alleged conflicts with the add
ministration of the United States govern
ment DIR. Mcmillan. was still speaking
when the report of The Star for the day
closed.
At a meeting this morning at the New
Willard Hotel of the various representa-
tives of the clubs involved in the move
nent a resolution was adopted to the
effect that a thorough examination be
made into the charges against Senator
SmCot
The matter of raising funds and the en-
ployment of an attorney to fight the seat
ing of Mr.. Smoot was also considered at
the meeting. 1t is expected that definite
action in these matters will be taken before
the adjournment this afternoon.
1t is understood that ex-Secretary J. G.
Carlisle has been chosen as the attorney
for the clubs to prosecute their case against
the Mormon senator.

tiers of Admiral Walker, where there was
more cheering and the playing of national
airs by a band of music

JUDGE PARKER FIRST.
German, olney, Bryan, Hearst and
Cleveland

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. December 3.-That
democrats of Indiana not united upon
one candidate for President is shown by a
canvass of the entire state by an Indianap-
oils newspaper. which will publish the re-
suit today
This canvass included the questioning of
every democratic county newspaper organ
in the state. These men were favored in
the following order out of 200 most prom
inent democrats:
Judge Parker of New York first; Senator
German. second; Richard Olney. third; w.
]. Bryan. fourth; William r. Hearst. fifth:
Grover Cleveland. sixth; Carter Harrison
seventh; George Gray of Delaware, eighth;
John W. Bookwaiter OF Ohio. NINTH
For Vice President. Joseph Folk of St
Louis BENJAMIN Shiveley. a former Indi-
ana representative and Carter Harrison all
get preferences
Hill Forgotten; Hearst to the Front.
One of the most remarkable things about
the canvass is the fact that Senator David
Il. HILL who used 10 be almost as popular in
Indiana as was Cleveland. got only one
mention out of the 200
William r Hearst, who was belittled In
the last two republican campaigns. has
forged 10 the front as one or the most popu-
lar men In Indiana. Hearst IS to be given
dinner here early in January, at which
William J. Bryan will be present
The canvass shows another remarkable
thing. that Indiana, which presented such
a solid front of gold democrats in 1896.
still has a large number that are now In
the democratic ranks.
Idolize Cleveland.
These men seem to idolize Grover Cleve-
land. and think that anybody that Cleve-
land Is for would be all right. Seven, or
even three years ago, Grover Cleveland
scarcely had a friend in Indiana outside Of
gold democrats.
Out of the 200 democrats interviewed
more than 100 of them took occasion to say
either that Mr. Cleveland had been wrong
fully judged or that he is still mighty big
man I'm the democratic party.
Because Indiana democrats have not got
ten together for years the expressions gain
ed by the local newspaper, all in all, pre-
sent the most interesting study offered by
Indiana politics in recent years

Lieutenant Runcie's Testi-
mony Contradicted.
THE ATTACK ON BROOKE
BELIEVES THAT GEN. WOOD HAD
NO KNOWLEDGE OF ARTICLE.
Resumption of the Investigation This
/, Morning by Senate Committee
on Military Affairs.

| The Senate committee on military arairs
today resumed its hearing in connection
| with charges filed against General Leonard
| Wood in opposition to his confirmation as
major general The first witness was Mr.
Melville E. Stone. general manager OF the
Associated Press.
| Mr.. Stone was questioned concerning the
| report that General Wood had sought to re-
| tain E. G. Bellairs as the representative OF
| the Associated Press at Havana. He sub
mitted letter written by Lieutenant Run
Gle to Colonel Charles s. Diehl, assistant gen
eral manager of the Associated Press,
which requested in behalf of General Wood
the retention of Bellairs, saying 1t was HI
portant to have a man representing the AS
scciated Press at Havana who was In the
confidence of the military governor Mr..
Stone said the matter was then under the
charge of Colonel Diehl. Bellairs was re-
tanned. but his previous record was not
known to the officers of the Associated
Press. When it became known Bellairs
was discharged. ...
Mr.. Stone also was asked as to what
knowledge General Wood had of Belairs
record, but upon this point he could give
the committe little information. 1t was De
cided that Colonel Dehl should be SUD-
poenaed.
Ray Stannard Baker Testifies.
Ray Stannard Baker, the man Wnom
Lieutenant Runcie said was at the dinner
with General Wood and himself when the
proposed magazine article criticis1ng Gen-
eral Brooke was discussed, was the next
witness called.
Mr.. Baker confirmed some portions or the
testimony of Lieut. Runcie, and contra
.dicted or qualified other portions of 1t. he
denied that there had been any consultation
between himself and Gen. Woods relatives
as to the publication of Lieut.. Runcies ar
ticle rejecting upon the administration OF
Gen. Brooke
He said, however, that he had talked
with General Wood regarding an article
which was subsequently published over MS
own signature
When asked whether he had conversed
with the President relative to the Wood
made practically the same reply to ques-
ton as to whether he had conferred with
War Department officials. ,-~-s.
Concerning the article which was pub
lished over the signature of Lieut. Runcie,
Mr.. Baker said that it had been given him
by Runcie, but that so far as he knew Gen.
Wood had had no knowledge of it prior to
it's publication. He said he had taken din
ner with Gen. Wood and Lieut.. Runcie sew
eral times at Santiago, but that the publi-
cation of article attacking Gen. Brooke
had never been the subject of converse ton.
Mr.. Baker had an engagement with Pres
ident Roosevelt for a luncheon at the White
House at / 80, and on that account asked
the members of the committee to hasten the
examinatio as much as possible.
