Might Defy Government.
1t is known that reputable citizens
of the Middle West, aroused by what
they termed the criminal methods of
the Standard Oil company, have been
accorded lengthy hearings by Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Charges were made by these men
against the Standard Oil to the effect
that the corporation had caused the
corruption of many state and federal
officeholders through the payment to
them of large sums of money and by
other improper means.
Grounds Are Plentiful.
The grounds on which a federal in.
vestigation of the Standard Oil com.
pany might be prosecuted with full
warrant of law are said by certain
prominent lawyers to be plentiful. 1t
is known, however, that desperate
effort will be made by the Standard
Oil representative to prevent an in
quiry, such as outlined, on the ground
of lack Of authority.
The president is fully aware of this
opposition and is prepared to meet
every obstacle. His position on the
matter OF TeDdC1nS DIS pIdCIlCeu ny Tie

grounds will be taken by the admins
