ADMIRAL CERVERA'S
VIEW OF CONFERENCE

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 24-Major
c. B. McGuffey, of this city, a personal
friend of Admiral Cervera, with whom
he met on a tour of Spain, is in receipt
today of a letter from the admiral in
which he says:
I'VE have now close by here, in the
city of Algeciras, the conference on
Morocco, which does not cease to pre-
occupy me, because IL does not appear
possible to me that they can come to
an understanding who have such an
tagoniStic relations. I do not think
that war will result from it. but I do
fear that hate and rancOrs NAV be
kindled, and everything be prepared so
that in the future war may result from
any trif1ing act"

NO RELIEF FOR SETTLERS
Lands South of Snake River,
Idaho, Out of the Inriga-
ton Belt,
Especial to The HeraIdO

Washington, March 24.-The interior
department has decided that it cannot
offer any relief to persons who have
made entries of lands south of Snake
river, Ida under what was the pro-
posed pumping system of the Minidoka
irrigation project, but which was aban-
dOned by the reclamation service, leav-
ing entrymen without a prospect of
having their lands irrigated. A large
number of complains were sent to the
secretary of the interior, the major
part of them being from persons living
at Burley, on the south bank of the
Snake river. opposite lands of the Min
idoka project An agent sent to inVes-
tigate conditions found about one hun
dred and fifty settlers, many OF whom
had been induced to take up lands by
land agents, and who are now unable
TO proceed with the cultivation of these
lands or unable to make a living while
attempting TO live up to the require
ments of the homestead act and ac-
quire title. Many of these entrvmen
are hauling water from the river for
domestic use and for irrigating small
patches of land devoted 10 gardens.
They are DESTROYS Of having the in
terror department grant them leave Of
absence from their lands pending con-
struction OF irrigation works by the
government, by which they can be ir-
rigated and reclaimed. Such construc-
ton is. however so remote a contin-
gency that the department will not
grant leave Of absence. and can offer
no relief. The settlers having taken up
lands upon their own responsibility
and through no promise of the govern
ment officers that the Minidoka. project
would be extended TO lands south of
Snake river.

Sutherland has taken up with Forester
Pinchot the question of granting per-

using rights of way across forest re-
serves instead of using rights of way

STANDARD OIL
ADMITS THE FACT
Oil Business In Missouri Monopoly
and Controlled by the Giant
Corporation.
BIG VICTORY FOR HADLEY
ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS PROV
EN- HIS CASE.

New York, March 24.-Counsel for
the Standard Oil company, at the in
vestigation being conducted by Attor-
ney General Had1ey OF Missouri, agreed
today to have noted on the records of
the hearing an admission that the
stock of the Republic Oil company and
the Waters-Pierce Oil company and the
Standard Oil company of Indiana is
held in trust by the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey.
1t is expected that when the hearing
is resumed next week Attorney General
Hadley will commence his efforts to
prove the second portion of his case;
namely, that the management of the
Water-PierCe company and the Repub-
lie Oil company as well as the Standard
Oil company, are under the supervision
Of the Standard Oil company.
Letters Must Be Produced.
At the conclusion of today's hearing
Assistant Attorney General Rushlake
served upon Lawyer HageTman repre-
sc ing the defense, an order requiring
his clients to produce on Monday next
over a hundred letters that are said to
have passed between the respondent
companies in the west and rs Broad
Wy. In each instance the order cites
the name of both writer and recipient,
as we'll as the date the letter was
mailed.
These letters, it is understood, are
expected to disclose the control of the
two companies operating in Missouri
by the Standard Oil. and show that
even the detail Of the management is
directed from rs Broadway.
Mondays Witnesses.
Among the witnesses who will be ex-
amined Monday are John d. ArchbOld,
Wade Hampton, H NJ Tilford and J.
G. Arnold, all of whom are officers of
the Standard Oil company. It is not
probable, however, that the evidence of
these witnesses can be completed inside
of three days at least.
Lawyer Hagerman of the Standard
Oil company said at the conclusion of
the hearing today that he felt rather
pleased at the result of the first days
work. Speaking of the admissions
made as to the stock ownership of the
two companies. he called attention TO
the fact that they had been made sub
1ect to exceptions as to their material
ity, a point for the higher courts yet to
pass upon.
HadIey JubiIant.
While Attorney General Hadley
seemed to think that he had practically
proven his case, Lawyer Hagerman
and others of the Standards attorneys.
said there were other and equally i'm
pOrtant allegations yet to be sustained.
Attorney General Hadley in speaking
of the admissions made by the Stand
ard Oil company at today's hearing,
said: That is practically my case;
that is the point I set out to establish.
and I have established it beyond a
doubt. This admission shows that
everyone, no matter how powerful,
must respect the majesty Of the law"
