CASS GILBERT SUIT AGAINST
FAIR NOT COMPROMISED.
for S4s.OOO Docketed for
Trial Monday.

Efforts to compromise the suit of Cass
Gilbert, the New York architect who de-
signed the Palace of Fine Arts and Festi-
val Hall. at the Worlds Fair, have proven
unavailing and the suit is docketed for
trial next Monday.
Mr.. Giibert's suit against the Exposition
Is for $4,000. alleged to be due for serv-
ices in designing the buildings on Art
Hill. The suit was filed by Mr.. Gilbert's
attorneys about week before the Fair
opened. and. although docketed in the fall
term, was never brought to trial.
Mr.. Gilbert came to st. Louis about a
month ago and spent two days in con-
ferences with the Exposition officials
These conferences were attended by his
St Louis counsel, Morton Jourdan, and It
was known then that negotiations were
on for settlement OF the case out Of
court.
1t was stated yesterday In the Admins
tration building that the suit had not
been compromised and that 1t was due
to come up for trial next Monday. The
Exposition is ready for trial. but it IS
thought that Mr.. Gilbert's counsel will
want the case continued.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Evansville. Ind. Dec. s.-The Indianap-
oils and Ohio Valley is the name OF the
proposed electric line extending from In
dianapolis to Roclsport, Ind. Eventually
the road may be extended across the Ohio
River to Owensboro. KY. ]. L. Lorimer. a
railroad man Of Indianapolis, has com
pleted Il tour looking over the field.
The proposed electric line is laid out to
run very nearly as the Indianapolis South
ern. d. VI. Perry's scheme. was surveyed.
From Rockport to Grandview it will take
the Southern roadbed. graded completely
for rails. with two good trestles. one over
Lake Drain and the other over Honey
Creek; thence to Troy, Tell City and Can
Melton. At Troy the main line will take
north through ST. Meinard, Ferdinand.
Birdseye. West Baden, Bedford, Nash
Vile and on into Indianapolis, going
through thousands of acres Of the best
coal lands In Spencer, Perry and Dubois
counties.
Articles OF incorporation will be filed
with the Secretary of State in few days.
and a franchise has been asked for in
Spencer County. A notable feature of the
route is that. it goes through a territory
almost all the way that is lacking in
transportation facilities. and which has
much to develop.

Report That Clique Is Trying to

Is Credited.
PIERCE PROVES A TARTAR.
Determined Not to Relinquish
Control Of Concern Except Up
on His Own Terms-Finlay
Resignation Explained.

The oft-repeated report that the Stand
ard Oil clique is trying to get control Of
the waters-Pierce on Company was again
current yesterday.
notwithstanding repeated denials that
there Il any attempt to eliminate Mr..
Piercs, some color was given to the story
when II was learned that the Standard
on Company is anxious to either buy con-
troll Of the Waters-Pierce Company and act
as its own distributor. or to duplicate the
plant Of the latter. when a contract now
existing expires.
According to information received, II is
evident that q contract entered into be-
tween the Standard and the waters-Pierce
companies some time ago las q little
more than two years to run. According to
this agreement, the Standard Oil engaged
the Waters-Piercs Company to act as its
distributors throughout the Southwest. in
cluding Kansas, Missouri, Texas and
Mexico.
With tho discovery Of oil in such abun-
dance in Texas the Standard Company
concluded that It could distribute its prod
uct more advantageously itself. But the
contract with tho Waters-Pierce Company
was an obstacle not easily overcome.
The Standard sought to get control Of
the distributing concern, but was not sue
eesstul. Than, It Is said. they served
notice upon the waters-Pierce Company
that,at the expiration Of the present con-
tract It would not be renewed.
This action, however, was regarded

pany emphatically deny that the control
Of the company has passed from H. Clay

made among the higher officials.
Regarding the report circulated yester-
day that Andrew n. F1nlay. president Of
the company, had resigned, II was ex-
