pond upon the result Of the general

"The administration Of Sir Wilfrid

Of maximum and a minimum tariff as
q scientific substitute for the chaos Of

United States will pay the maximum
and Great Britain the minimum. but
both Germany and the United States
will speedily negotiate for reciprocal
treatment The Issue obviously IS de-
pendent on the election If Mr.. Cham
berlain obtains a mandate to discuss
preferential treatment with the col

States viii be able to obtain the privl-
leges Of the minimum or preferential

they may offer IF on the other hand
Mr.. Chamberlain through an over
whelming majority should fail to OBJ
tain such mandate the United States

"cHAMP cLARK's DEMOCRACY"

Washington, Jan. 6.-"Champ Clark
Democracy" was expounded to the de-
light and entertainment of the house
for three hours by Mr.. Clark, Of Mis-
souri,, and constituted the feature Of
the debate on the Philippine tariff bill.
Mr.. Clark's speech took a wide range,
and during its progress he labeled his
political beliefs as above in answer to
a question as to what kind OF Demo-
crat he really was He talked OF the
Philippines and favored the pending
bill, he discussed the general tariff
question and in particular the German
tariff situation. He reviewed William
]. Bryans record on silver and paid
his respects in characteristic oratory
to Republican leaders. He ascribed fu-
ture greatness to what he termed the
great stand pat" disciples, and de-
clared that one OF these, Secretary
Shaw. whose record as secretary In
cluded. he said, classifying frogs legs
az poultry and ponies as household
articles" for the collection Of revenue,
was a logical Republican presidential
possibility unless the mantle should
fall on the gray and grizzled speaker,
Uncle Joe Cannon"
The fight against the bill was opened
in the interest of the beet sugar In

He recalled the Republican member

PUT MURDERED LAD ON TRACKS
Boy Killed With Pistol BY Companion,
Who Planned to Conceal Crime.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-William ]. Moran.
aged 10 years, confessed to the killing
OF Robert Collier. aged II years, dur
ing a quarrel. after which Moran says
he placed Golfers body on the rail-
road track in the hope that passing
train would hide evidences Of the
crime
The accidental discovery Of the body
before a train had passed disclosed
the fact that Collier had been killed
by pistol bullet. An investigation
showed that the body had first been
taken from Moran's barn, where the
murder occurred, to vacant barn
nearby.
The idea of misleading the authori.
ties then occurring to Moran, he car.
ried the corpse of his erstwhile friend
to the Nickel Plate railway track. Eff.
teen companions of Golfers were
rounded up by the police. Among
them was Moran, whose clothing was
bloodstained and who confessed.

CUT BROUGHT BY MISSOURI

Former Bookkeeper Gives Interesting
Evidence Of Pooling Agreement Be
tween Comp anies TO Crush Com

New York, Jan. 6.-The taking o.
testimony In the two suits brought by
the state OF Missouri to Dust the Stand
ard Oil company, OF Indiana, the
Waters-Pierce OIL company and the
Republic Oil company from Missouri
and to prevent the carrying out of ar
alleged pooling agreement among the
companies mentioned was begun here
before Frederick w. SanbOrn. a special
commissioner appointed by Governor
Folk. Herbert S. Hadley, attorney gen.
eral OF Missouri, conducted the states
case and attempted to show from the
witnesses introduced that the Waters
Pierce and Republic companies were In
reality but subsidiary concerns Of the
Standard OIL company. the Indiana
branch OF which conducts the Stand
ards business In the west.
During the hearing there were a
number OF lively tits between opposing
lawyers. one resulting in a demand by
the attorneys for the defendant COM
panies that the testimony be taken
down verbatim in long hand by the
commissioner Attorney General Had
ley agreed to this, saying he could re-
main at the hearing as long as anyone
else
One OF the witnesses was f. T. Bed
ford. a director of the Standard Oil
company, who refused absolutely to an
swer any questions involving the
Standard Oil company's affairs. He
said he took the attitude upon the ad-
vice OF counsel and had no other rea-
son for doing So
Attorney General Hadley said he
would report recalcitrant witnesses TO
the supreme court and allow that trib-
unal TO deal with them.
The other witness was A. V. Jockel,
formerly a bookkeeper for the Stand
ard Oil company, who said he was
transferred TO the Waters-Pierce COM
panys Office at Oklahoma City without
resigning his pfaee with the Standard.
He said he had been instructed to say
the Waters-Pierce company was an in
dependent concern, but declared Waters
Pierce barrels were filled with oil from
Standard barrels.
AIr. Jockel said that some Of the oil
cans had the Standard Oil shipping
tags on. He could not say from whom
the others came.
Did the Waters-Pierce Oil company
pretend to be or claim to be an indie
pendent company" Yes, sir"
Did you receive letter from c. P.
Ackert. general manager Of the Stand
ard Oil company, giving a scale Of
prices at which oil should be sold in
the territory" Yes. sir"
did the letter show that oil was
being sold at a loss?" Yes"
What was the purpose?" ITO over
