The woman is prostrated as the re-
suit of rough treatment, and is under
the care of a physician The president
is said to have expressed great dis
pleasure and Assistant Secretary
Barnes has already been asked to
make an explanation to him. Barnes
said he took the woman for one of the
host of cranks who are especially at
tracted to the White House. Friends of
Mrs Morris declare that the perpe-
traitors of what they call an outrage
should not go unpunished. Colonel
Bull is reticent.
Barnes issued a statement in which
he says:
Mrs Morris piercing shrieks were
heard throughout the building. She
refused to listen to counsel or orders.
She refused to leave and shrieked at
each suggestion of leaving. 1t became
necessary to have her remvoed. Off

refused and became louder. She strug-
gled violently with two police officers.
Outside she threw herself on the
ground and it became necessary to
carry her." Barnes denies tnat ne

Mrs. Morris says that Barnes state
ment is false. She declares that she
acted very ladylike at the White
House. Sne threatens to sue the Sec
retary for defamation Of character.

Important Case Before U. s.
Commissioner
HEARING BEGINS IN new york CITY
Testimony Will be Taken Down in
Long Hand, Which Will Require
Two Weeks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Representa- =
the Standard Oil company appeared
before Commissioner Henry Wollman
this morning, when the case of the
state of Missouri against the Standard
Oil company for alleged violation of
the anti trust laws was called for a
hearing. Attorney General Hadley of
Missouri and several assistants rep
resented the state of Missouri, while
the Standard Oil company was rep
resented by an imposing army Of legal
talent. Among those present were a
number of prominent officials of the
Standard Oil company, who had been
subpoenaed to appear as witnesses at
the hearing before Commissioner Woll-
man. Among them We're Henry Rog-
ers. James A. Moffat, of the executive
committee of the company, Frank O..
Barstow and Howard Page. In all
21 directors and officials of the Stand
ard Oil company have been summon
ed to appear as witnesses
H. H. Rogers, w. G. Rockefeller,
James A. Moffat, Edward Bedford and
Howard Page appeared and were
sworn. The schedule of appearances
made excused A. B. Jockel. The first
witness had just been sworn when
Frank Hagerman Of the Standard Oil
counsel moved that the testimony be
taken in longhand under a section of
the criminal code of the state. Hadley
objected to no purpose, declaring that
they would be there all winter. Hager-
man said: I'VE do not care, as there
are plenty of good shows here and we
from out Of town would just as soon
stay here"
In the examination Of witnesses the
Standard OILS attorneys fought every
inch, objecting every moment to ques-
tions asked by the Missouri attorneys.
The hearing has been dubbed Had
ley's school Of penmanship." Hadley
thinks it will take about eight days. He
had expected to finish here and go to
Cleveland to take testimony Mon
day.
