He was asking questions about one company. some times Southern and sometimes called South Improvement Company, of which by the public. MT. Rockefeller must have known this was the company to which he referred. He answered the question Knowing what the question meant.
 MT. Pryor had been inquiring about the organization of the Standard oil Trust Here are the questions and answers:

 Tt is certain, therefore, that Mir. Rockefeller must have known what company this question referred to and that he intended, under oath, to convey, and did convey, the meaning that he was not a member of a company of which he was a member.
 This is the simple fact, and am greatly obliged to MT. Murphy for the opportunity he has given me of making 1t entirely clear"

 MENT BEGINS MAY a.
for Coming Great Com ventiOn Have Been Opened in WaahinGtOn---aTueh Interest
 aa Being Aroused.

Washington, April 2s.--Headquarters for the Southern Industrial Parliament were opened here today, in charge or pr. Walter c. Murphy who has been designated to perfect arrangements Tor the parliament, which is to occupy three or four days, beginning May 2s. Ten of the thirteen Southern States invited to participate in the parliament have accepted the invitation through their Governors. These are. Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee. North Carolina. South Carolina. Geor- gia Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. The States of Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas are expected to participate. Thirty delegates have been allotted to each State, the delegation to be head ed in each instance by the Governors. The delegates are to be selected with view to having each industry or the South fully represented.
 The idea of the Southern Industrial Parliament originated among. South ern Senators and Representatives tn Congress last winter. Representative John Sharp Williams, the minority leader in the House, took an active in terest the date was set and invitations extended before Congress adjourned. The parliament Is to be left free to tol- low its own bent in the matter of dis cussion and action. The subjects Of mining, manufacturing and agriculture all will receive attention. Efforts Will be made to remove any impression that vested rights in the South are inse- cure. Authoritative statements are also to be made regarding the climatic and sanitary condition of the South, with a view of as favorable showing as possible. ,-
 The interest that the Parliament Is creating among State officials may be indicated by the replies to the invita- tions to participate. Governor Monta- que of Virginia says: T trust very much the deliberations of your body will result in great good for the inter est of the Southern States"
 Governor Hayward of South Carolina writes: Tt will give me great pleasure to appoint delegates from south caro- lima"
 says: q can guarantee good dele- eatfon from North Carolina. l know Q fno greater honor than to participate in a convention that has for its ob- feet the betterment of our homes and the development of the mineral re- sources of this great Southland"

GLADDEN,s STATEMENT.
He Replies to Claim of ROcIkefelIer'a
 Private Counsel.

Private Counsel.
 Columbus, O.. April 2S.-Rev. Wash ington Gladden. tonight gave out the following statement in regard to the claim of Starr J. Murphy of the private counsel of John D. Rockefeller that assertions made by pr. Gladden. were based upon garbled reports of MT. Rockefeller's testimony in the courts:
 ''Mr. Murphy charges me with garb- ling the testimony of MT. Rockefeller. He alleges that when this testimony was given there were two companies under discussion, the Southern Inn provement Company and the South Company, to which Mir. Rockefeller's testimony related to the first named company and was a true answer, for with that company Mir. Rockefeller had nothing to do. I have searched the records to which MT Murphy cites me and can find but one company with a name like this upon the records of the session laws of Pennsylvania for 1870 and 1871. It is possible that such a charter may have been granted, rbut no such company was incorporated on the day he names, May G, 1851 No such title is in the index of that vol tune. The only company I can find bearing a name similar to this which was incorporated within those two years was The Southern Improvement Company
 ''This in fact was the name of the company whose charter was purchased by MT Rockefeller and his friends. It apears from the records and memo randa published afterwards that 1t was called at the beginning sometimes The Southern Improvement Company and sometimes The South Improvement Company. It was often referred to by It's own officials as The Southern Inl- prOvement Company.
 Tt does not appear from the record of the investigation at which Mir Rockefeller was witness that any mention had been made GSo com
