No Time to Prepare Answer.


 The counsel for the Standard oil com pany informed the court that they had not had time to prepare an answer. They also requested that the hearing before Commissioner Sanborn should be held in abeyance until after argument before the supreme court. Justice Gildersleeve therefore ordered that all proceedings before Commissioner Frederick H. San born be stayed until Friday at p. m. or until after argument on the order to show cause.
 Judge H. s. Priest of St. Louis, eous. sel in the west for the Standard Oil con- pany, arrived here today to take pafs in the case.
 MT. Hadley was present, but was repre- sented by Henry Wollman as counsel.
 Lawyer w. V. Rowe. representing MT. Rogers, said that he has had no oppor- tunity to confer with his associates since receiving notice of the order to show cause The questions involved were seri- ous and complicated, he said, and he could not possibly prepare an answer or be ready to argue the case In less than two weeks He declared there is no occasion for haste as the original case in Mis- souri cannot be tried for several months; that the taking of testimony here is only an incident in the general proceedings, and that he did not want to prejudice hls clients by hurrying the matter.

HadIey Actresses the Court.

MT Wollman, in answer said that no
 postponement should be granted. All that
 is sought, he said, is delay and the ques-
 tions involved are simple. He declared
 that any lengthy adjournment will break up the present proceedings before Com missioner Sanborn. The objections, he asserted, are only captious. He opposed any adjournment further than tomorrow He introduced Attorney General Hadley, who while not a member of the bar here, was accorded the privilege of addressing the court
 Mir Hadley said the only privilege MT. Rogers claimed in refusing to answer was the advice of counsel The question Is, said MT Hadley, whether a witness can refuse to answer questions simply be-
 cause of claiming the privilege that he or his counsel did not think they should
 be answered. MT. Hadley said there are proceedings pending in Missouri that will be helpful in determining the present case.
 MT Hadley asked for as speedy a deter
 imitation as possible under the rules Of the court.
 Frank Hagerman, counsel for the stan
 dard oil company declared that the whole proceedings were fishing excursion The officials of Missouri, he said, are seeking to find out the ownership~of the
 stock in three companies and the fedora tion if any between them.

 MT. Hadley addressing the court again, said that all the questions involved had been admitted in testimony In the state of Missouri What he objected to was that the witness should set up his own judgment on what he said or should not answer without giving any further reason for declining to so answer.
 MT. Rowe made another request for de- lay The court always gave full time to prepare a defense, he said, and in this in stance he asked adequate judicial protec- tion against the office of foreign state
 Justice Gildersleeve said that the coun- sel for the respondents ought to be fla miliar with the facts. They are entitled to reasonable delay, he said, but the question ought to be disposed of. He then set the argument for Friday morning.

 'These men, by their efforts to avoid testifying, are fugitives. The case we have on hand is very simple.

TURN DOWN KAISER

An interesting meeting was held last
night by the GreenYille Republican
League. City Collector Fry is member
of this organization. He is candidSte
for reelection as chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee. He is
backed by the Fagan-Record forces. The
Dickinsonites have decided to put up
Sheriff John Kaiser to run against him.
In order to get some support and pres
tige from the Greenville Republican
League Mr.. KAISER sent in an app.ica-
ton for membership. His application
was turned down before it even reached
the membership committee.
The excuse given by the Club was that
the application was not signed by Mr..
Kaiser, the Fry forces claiming tha:
such an application was trick on the
part of Mr.. Kaiser to test the feeling
of the League as to the fight being wag-
ed between the Fagan-Reeord and the
Dickinson factions of the County Com
mittee in the impending conflict which il
to take place next Friday night. Mr..
Kaiser's application was signed by
Charles Bennett, who was appointed re-
Gently by Sheriff Kaiser on his official
staff. The Fry members Of the League.
and they are in the majority, claim that
this was the trick to ascertain the feel
ing of the Club on the coming election
of president of the County Committee.
The League declares that Mr.. kaisers
application was not turned down for this
reason, but that the rules of the Club
call for a man signing his own name to
an application for membership.
The action of the League has provoked
much political discussion.
Robert Lutz, prominent Diekinsonite
member of the organization, said last
uight that he didn't consider the action
of the League of any SPECIAL significance,
as it was only carrying out and conform
ing with an old established rule. He be-
lieved that Sheriff Kaiser would yet be
come a member of the League. The
League will hold a stag and smoker in
its clubrooms on the evening Of January

MERELY !
MENTIONED

A couple of newspaper reporters had
occasion last evening to call on Mayor
Pagan. They were met in the outer Of
flee by Secretary Joseph O'Connor, who
informed them that the Mayor was not
in his office. The reporters repaired to
the lower corridor of the City Hall and
a moment later. to their establishment,
Mayor Fagan emerged from mis- office
and walked down the broad stairway.
Their expressed opinion of Secretary
OConnor would not look nice in print.
The fact that the newspaper men were
not Fagan;tes may account for the dis
courteous treatment accorded them
When Secretary O'Connor becomes
Judge of the Second Criminal Court at
the expiration of Judge Manning's term
the reporters whom he saubbed may have
occasion to remember him. If nothing
else, they can show how much less cap
able he is of filing the office than the
man who now holds it.

CAMDEN, Jan. 6. 19O6.--The move
meDt against Republican machine dieta-
ton and boss rule, which started in Es-
sex, is to be extended to all parts of
New Jersey. That was the keynote of a
conference held yesterday in the office
Of Attorney Thomas B. Hall, No. 426
Market street, Camden, between Sena-
tor-elect Colby. George L. Record and
many of the leaders of the independent
movement in Camden County, including

ney John H. Fort, former Receiver of

Leans.
Mr.. Colby had arranged for a confer
ence to follow a meeting in Newark
Tuesday night, which decided TO form a
State league to follow up the big victory
of the people for limited franchises and
equal taxation. and felt there was good
ground for missionary work IN South
Jersey, in view of the showing of the
Legal Voters League last November.
1t was stated that while most of those
present had been identified with the Le-
gal Voters. League. now a permanent
\ organization. the new movement would
&be separate and distinct. for the fight is
be carried on within the lines of the
publican party. 1t was stated that
league had assurances of support
n some Of the most influential and
.sctive Republicans of the city and coun-
ty, and all they needed was some separ-
ate form of orga aization with which to
ally themselves and come out openly for
zchange politically. As the only offices
to be- filed next November are three
members of Assembly, it was stated that
lafhe fight should be confined probably to
those places, but may be extended to
City Council Of Camden. where there
were signs of revolt recently. The battle
is to be waged at the primary polls, but
prior TO that all the plans of the move

At the City Hall yesterday, the Fa-
gan.tes were discussing the Dickinson
victory at the annual meeting Thursday
nighr OF the Fremont Club. The defeat
of Andrew Knox by Judge Frambach
for the Presidency it was conceded was
a solar-piexus blow to the Pagan faction
of the Republican party, and not few
of the so-called leaders attributed it to
the turning down of Deputy Comptroller
Otto Dahl. The Fremonters are mostly
influential Republicans and their action
in electing Judge Frambach is generally
accepted as a rebuke to the adEninistra-

The attitude of President Mccarthy,
of the Board of Aldermen, in the contest
for City Clerk, is very generally con-
demned. Organization Republicans who
not only helped to nominate him but gave
him loyal support at the polls, feel that
he is not justified in trailing along with
the Faganites to the detriment of the
party. They argue that he is under a
as great obligation to the organization
as he is to the Faganites and say that
the least he might have done was to re-
main neutral. Because the Faganites are
against his brother, George Mccarthy,
for no other reason than that the latter
is a friend of Col. Dickinson, does not,
they insist, warrant President Mccarthy
in opposing his election TO the City
Clerkship. George McCarthy's Republi-
canism has never been questioned, and
that he is being kept out of the inn
portant position he seeks through the
failure of his brother to support him,
has given rise to all sorts of rumors. One
has it that President Mccarthy thinks
that by doing the bidding OF the Fagan-
ties he will have their support for the
Mayoralty nomination at the expiration
of Mayor Fagan's term.
