WHITE IS APPOINTED.
VIII Represent United States at Mo-
 rocco Conference.

Washington November 23.--Hetry White, American ambassador to Rome, was today selected to represent this coun- try, In conjunction with Minister Gum mere, of Tangier at the approaching Mo- rocco conference.
 Secretary Root has been giving a good deal of attention lately to this subject and was especially. anxious that the United States should be represented prop erly in conference which is certain to bring together the brightest minds in the diplomatic circles of Europe. MT. Gum mere was originally selected because of his familiarity with Moroccan affairs, and MT. White is now chosen because of his extensive knowledge of European politics, and his general qualification and experi- ence as a diplomat.
 From his long residence in England and other European countries, he has per sonal acquaintance with publicists that is expected to be of value. Tempera- mentally, MT White is also regarded as peculiarly well suited for this important mission. for it is the expectation that the participation of the United States In the conference will be in the character of a peacemaker, and much tact will be re- quired to reconcile great divergent in- terests. The French ambassador today. discussing this subject with Secretary Root notified him that his government had appointed M. Revolt, ex-governor of Algeria, to represent 1t at the confer ence. He goes with the rank and powers of an ambassador.

Hiqh MoeuIs Summoned.

New York, November 23-Subpoenas were issued today for John D. Rocke- feller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry M. Flag Ter and other financers to appear as wit nesses in the two suits pending In Mis- souri to oust the Standard oil company and the two other oil companies from doing business in that state. The sub poenas directed the witnesses to appear on December 4 before Frederick H. Sand born of this city, who was appointed by Governor Folk to act as commissioner Tor the state of Missouri. The others sum moned to appear are John D. Archbold, Wade Hampton Walter c. Teagle James A. Moffett. M. F. Cowan, G. k. wilson, l. R. Taylor, Charles l.. Nichols, D. T. Bedford, Walter Jennings, w. H. Tilford. Charles M. Platt, F. c. Barstow H. Clay Pierce Silas H. Paine, Richard P. Tfnsley, Robert H. McNall and Howard Page. The suits were filed In Missouri on March % 1905 and include besides the Standard oil company the Republic OH company and the Waters Pierce oil company.
 The first suit was brought by Attorney General Hadley of Missouri to exclude the three defendant corporations from all cor porate rights and privileges under the laws of the state of Missouri, and that their franchises, rights, authority, license and certificate be declared under the state laws of Missouri forfeited This ac- ton alleges a pool or trust agreement be- tween three companies to regulate the prices paid by retail oil dealers in Mis- souri. It was charged also that the com panies mislead the public into the belief that they were three separate and distinct corporations through the fact that they divided up the territory of the state, each agreeing not to sell on the others ground.
 This suit is in the supreme court of Missouri. The second suit is very similar to the first, but Is brought to the circuit court of Jackson county, Missouri.

Albany, N. T., November 23.-What sp- pears to be a murder committed nearly two weeks ago and peculiarly ghastly in It's details was discovered here this after noon when the badly decomposed body Of Mrs. John Hammond was found wedged in a trunk in a second-story room of her home. The trunk stood in the fire place and the body within was heavily sprinkled with chloride of lime. The disinfectant was strewn thickly about the three rooms comprising the fiat and the cover of the trunk was propped open with the evident idea of having the odors of decomposition escape up the chimney.

This will be the last hearing conducted in St. Louis until after the supreme court has decided whether Attorney General Hadley has the right to compel oil companies to produce their books or make their officers testify.
