Corporations Doing Business in
Missouri Must Obey Laws of

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 20. - The
Supreme Court held that witnesses
must answer questions in the Standard
Oil hearing at ST. Louis. This decides
the point raised by II. II. Rogers at the
hearing in New York.
The court lays down the law that
when foreign corporations are permit
ted to come into Missouri to do busi-
ness, they impliedly agree to obey the
laws OF the State and must obey these
laws. The opinion also holds that com,
panies cannot refuse to produce books
and papers, which the authorized repre-
sentatives of the State demand. The
ruling covers the same questions which
were before Judge Gildersleeye of the
New York supreme court regarding the
testimony of Rogers.

FELT AT
SALEM

Pereeptible earthquake shocks were
felt at Salem at 4:4o this morning by
reputable a citizen as Hon. John II.
Albert, who says he felt the earth give
way vertically, and the tremblor was
busy in north and south direction. Ex.
animation Of the seismogrsph at the
Willamette diversity shows that a
movement was recorded. 1t taxed the
instrument beyond its capacity. Mr.
Albert says low rumbling was heard,
like distant thunder, and be has no
doubt it was an earthquake. as he has
felt many. He says it could not be
mistaken for any rumblines of discon.

TALKS OF

"One peculiarly noticeable feature in
connection with the relief work is tie
lack Of appreciation on the part OF
many of the poorer people. They are
supplied with more and better food
than they have been accustomed to. yet
they complain, while, on the other
hand, the Weather citizens, who lost
everything they had in the disaster,
accept whatever is given them with a
smile and a thank you' that are
touching.

besieged with imposters and grafters
Who work every conceivable scheme to
secure money and transportation TO
which they are not entitled. The most
deserving sufferers are those who hold

who demand of the privilege of obi.

other TO repay whatever sums are ad-
"a eed to them at some time in the

the statement that the board of edu-

the action he has taken No pupil will
be promoted from any grade when his

an injury and injustice to do SO when
children are not prepared for such

Superintendent Burnett has taken the
stand in this matter which is expected
