Mr. Rogers has declined to answer by
advice of counsel in the last three days

other person or corporation, own, hold
or control majority of the stock of
the Waters Pierce Oil Co. of Missouri,
the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana and the

Mr.. Hadley wants this information
to show that the three alleged subsid-
iary or confederated companies are
monopolizing the oil trade in Missouri
in combination and to induce the Mis-
souri courts to order them oustcd from
that state.
An interesting feature of the hearing
today was an invitation sent Mr.. Had
ley to Thomas w. Lawson of Boston,
requesting him to come to New York to
testify if he can give any information
as to the three companies Mr.. HadIey
is trying to drive out of Missouri.
Mr.. Rogers again declined on the

treat the hcaring seriously and not as
funny"

trying for several days to summon II.

missioner III this case, notified Mr..
Hadley tonight that he has been unable
to get Mr.. Pierce, who, he said, has
sailed away on steam yacht. Mr..
Pierce is chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Waters-Picrce Oil Co. of
