OIL COMPANY PRIVATE AFFAIR
Such Position is Taken by Attorney
for Omcials at st.
Louis.

ST LOUIS, Oct. 17.-That the affairs OF
oil companies are as properly private as
the personal affairs OF an individual was
the contention of John D. johnson, one of
the counsel for the defense in the resump-
ton today of the inquiry into the methods
pursued by the Standard. the Republic and
the Waters-Pierce oil companies before
Special Supreme Court Commissioner r. A.
Anthony.
THE testimony being taken" said Attor-
ney Johnson, ''merely caters to public ex-
citement. 1t is not being taken in good
faith. The attorney general has no inten-
ton Of carrying the proceedings 10 a con-
clusion."
Attorney General Hadey interrupted
with: Amy statement that l am not acting
in good faith in this matter is absolutely
false" Attorney Johnson thereupon said
he withdrew any remark which the at
torney general might consider a personal
reflection.
Commissioner Anthony announced today
that he would not render an opinion on
whether the Waters-Pierce company can
be compelled to produce its books in court
TO show whether there is any connection
between 1t and the Standard OH company.
Since l took this question under advise
ment" he said, a motion involving the
same question has been filed with the su-
preme court. Pending the courts decision
l will not render an opinion"
