pany OF Kansas, has presented to Com
missioner OF Corporations, James X.

swer Of that company at Washington,
in regard 10 the Kansas-Indian terri
tory oil fields. The company asks OF
Commissioner Garfield the most full

his hands, feeling entirely sure as
Mr.. Elliott says that when their rela-
tions to the oil producers OF Kansas are
fully laid bare, n will be seen that tho
latter have been treated with the Ut
most fairness" The statement adds
that the recent action Of the COM
pany with reference to Its operations
In Kansas has been with good reason.
The legislature of Kansas was threat
ening to pass, and has indeed passed
laws, compliance with which Is an u
ter impossibility. II they are to be en-
forced the company certainly does not
desire to increase its investments In
Kansas" Mr.. Elliott states further
that on investigation the many SEN
sational charges recently made as to
relations of the company with rail-
roads, ETC., will be entirely disproven;
that the agitation has not been upon
the legitimate oil producers, but prin-
cipally by over-capitalized fake stock
companies. who have sold their stock
TO the public and are seeking scape
goat.

liberalization Into Mrs. Stanford'a
Death May Clear Away Earlier
Impressions Of the Cause

San Francisco, March 6.-Acting
Chief of Police Spillane says that the
police department Of this city has
stopped all work on the Mrs. Stanford
poison case. Absolutely nothing can
be done until I hear from High Sheriff
Henry, Of Honolulu" said Spillane,
Gin regard to the result obtained by
the chemists in their analysis OF the
contents of the stomach and the con-
illusions deduced by the physicians
from the autopsy performed on the
various organs of the body"
"Are you ready to make an arrest In
the event that these reports make 1t
certain that the cause Of Mrs. STAN
ford's death was the result Of strych-
nine poisoning?" the chief was asked.
Eyes, We are prepared to act" was the
reply. AS to who was to be placed
in prison, the official would not say.
Police officers and detectives work.
ing on the case are beginning now to
express doubts that Mrs. Stanford was
really poisoned. 1t is believed that q
private detective agency OF this city
will continue to shadow all suspects
until the results Of the work at Homo
lulu clearly demonstrate that no crime
was committed.
