AMERICANS
To THE RESCUE

Algeciras, March 2S-Ambassa-
dor White and the other American
delegates were showered with COM
pliments yesterday for what is regard
ed as their sagacious intervention.
which has assured the solution of the
last remaining difficulty of the confer
ence and the final settlement of one
of the most delicate and complicated
questions ever brought before a CON
ference for decision.
Austria's police proposal Monday
left the German and French delegates
still occupying totally opposed stand
pc nts relative to police inspection.
Mr.. White, seeing the danger of dis
agreement, took the initiative in an
attempt to save the situation. He and
his colleagues drew up a fresh
scheme, laying down the proposit' on
that the inspector shall report stimuli
taneousIy to both the sultan and the
diplomatic corps at Tangier, the lat
ter having authority to order inquiries
into the working of the Franco-Span-
ISL police scheme, thus guaranteeing
the carrying out of the conferences

terests and commercial transactions.
The diplomatic corps, after informing
the sultan, may also at any time order
the inspector to inquire and report
should any interested government

German delegates will submit the
plan to their governments and eX-

TELL Of EVASION
BY OIL MAGNATES

New York, March 2S-The taking
of testimony in this city in the pro
ceedings brought by Missouri to GUST
from that commonwealth the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, Waters
Pierce Oil company and Republic Oil
company, on the ground that they con
st1tute combination in restraint of
trade, ended yesterday. Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri announced
that with this adjournment the New
York proceedings were ended. He
requested Commissioner Sanborn, be-
fore whom the witnesses testified, to
send a certified copy of the testimony
to the supreme court of Missouri,
where it will become part of the rec
ord in the states case
Practically the last move Mr.. Had
ley made in the case was to Introduce
der which most of the witnesses in
any way connected with the Standard
Oil company were secured. He put
in the record the fact that every eff
fort had been made to secure the tes-
timony of John D. Rockefeller, but
none had succeeded. He introduced
copies of letters written to attorneys
of the Standard Oil requesting thas
the officers of the company accept
service The request applied to John
D. Rockefeller along with several
others.
During the examination of the sub
poena server, counsel for the defend
ant companies brought out that the
man had received money from news
papers for stories Of his experiences
N trying to serve ON some of the
Standard Oil men. Counsel declared
that these facts were brought out ito
show that there has been a lot of
grandstanding and advertising about
this, and lots of sensatiOnaliSm.
"Thc only sensationalism there has
been in this case has been the sensa-
tional attempts of these witnesses to
evade the service of subpoenas," re
piled Mr. Hadley.
