Standard Oil May Own
Controlling Interests
In Several So-caI|ed Independent
Oil Cos. in the West.
II So They Can't Do Business in State Of
Missouri Says HadIey.

New York. Jan. Tt. developed
General Herbert S. Hadley of Mis-
souri,. of Henry H. Rogers. vice presi-
dent and director of the Standard Oil
Company, of New Jersey, that Mr.
I1adley's chief purposes in conducting
an examination of officers of that
company in this city is to find out
whether that company owns q con-
| trolling interest in the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana. the Waters
Pierce Oil Company of Missouri and
the Republic Oil Company. This. Mr.
Hadley said, he regarded as a step in
| the direction of excluding the three
latter companies from doing business
in Missouri.
TO most of the important questions
asked by Mr.. Hadley bearing directly
or that question of stock ownership
Mr.. Rogers declined to give any an
swer 'on the advice of counsel" and
Mr.. Hadley requested Commissioner
Frederick II. Sanborn to certify the
questions and Mr.. Rogers refusal to
the supreme court of this state for a
determination as to whether or not
Mr.. Rogers must answer them or be
adjudged in contempt.
Mr.. Rogers declined to reply to ques
tions rs to whether he controls any
stock in the Waters-P Pierce Oil Co.
whether Mr.. Van Buren, of New York
holds Il controlling interest in that com
pany for the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey; whether the New Jersey Co. cor
trolls the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, O,
the WatersPicrce Co., and whether two
thirds of the dividends of the Waters.
Pierce Co. are not paid to H. NJ Tilford
who. Mr.. Rogers said, has an Office at q
Broadway.
Mr.. Hadley said tonight that he would
take all the questions to the suprem.
| court of New York state to secure an or,
der for Mr.. Rogers to show cause why
he should not answer them
Mr.. Rogers did say, however, that he
never heard Of an agreement between tbs
Pierce Co. to divide the trade of Missouri
and that he did not believe it was ever
made.
Mr. Hadley said afterward that he had
an injunction against such n division bu,
that he was unable in Missouri to show
from the offices of the oil companies that
they were owned by the same party. This
he said. is what he is aiming to show ir
the New York hearing.
Mr.. Rogers declined today to answer
the question whether he had transac-
tion with II. Clay Pierce in 1904 by which
Mr.. Rogers secured all or part of the Wa
ters-Picrce Oil Cos. stock for the Stan
dard Oil Co. of New Jersey or for the
Indiana Co. Mr. Rogers was still on the
stand when the hearing was adjourned

Important Development in
the Edwards Case
Proves That Murdered Man
Was Placed in His Bed
After Being Shot---B|ood CIots on Stocking
Tell StoT.-Runiing for Pistol.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. THE an
nouncemcnt of the discovery of evil
dence pointing 10 the belief that
Charles A. Edwards of New York, the
victim of the mysterious murder at the
Hitler family homestead on College
street was not shot in bed where he
was found dying, was the most inter-
esting development in the case Satur-
day.
This evidence came to light when an
examination was made of the clothing
found on the body. One of the stock
ings. the left one. blood clot, as large
as the en-! of mans thumb. was
found. and blood had soaked through
the stocking and spread itself over the
top of the instep.'
This is considered to leave little
doubt that the body was placed in the
guest chamber after the shooting, and
the detectives are working on the
theory that the man was shot while
standing or in some other position.
where the blood from the wound in the
left side of the head would foil upon
his foot. The fact that on the left
stocking also there was a collection of
lint or carpet dirt, is believed to lend
color to the theory that he was dragged
in an unconscious condition to the
bed. There was no lint on the stocking
which covered the right foot.
1t was said that two bullets have
been found imbedded in one of the
walls of the guest chamber.
A blood clot on the brain is now said
| to have been the cause Of death di-
rectly, though it is believed that the
bullet wound caused the clot. The bull
let is said not to have penetrated the
brain matter, but to have lodged just
| under the inner surface of the skull
at the'top Of the head. The formal re-
port of the medical examiner on the
direction taken by the bullet and the
| cause of death. was not given to the
coroner. rs the chemical examination of
| the stomach and other organs had not
| been completed. This examination was
conducted by the Yale medical school
| laboratory. Reports circulated during
| the day that poison had been found in
| the body We're denied by the surgeons
| who assisted in the autopsy. but the
| result Of the chemists examination
| was nevertheless awaited with interest.
| The search for the pistol with which
| the crime was committed went on
| Saturday without result At the cor
| oner's office it was said that his report
on the inquest would not be given out
saturday. though the investigation is
about complete. To newspaper men
who questioned him regarding dcvel-
| opments the coroner said:
You can go home and sleep. There
will be rothing doing tonight.
Tonight it was understood that two
| he adquarters detectives have been as
| signed to the Hitler homestead. and
that until the inquest is completed,
Charles A. Hitler will be under as close

Lillian Cowan Says She
Saw Mrs. Raymond
Passing Her Home on Night Of
Matte Hackett Murder.
Positive in Identification and Has Told
Her s9y 10 Officials. : :

Not until late Sunday afternoon did
SheHf Ham or County Attorney
Leigh receive any insimation that there
were any developments in the Hackett
murder case at Readfield.
The information came in a telephone
message from Deputy Sheriff Brown
that Miss Lillian Cowan had told him
story week ago wherein she said
that on. the night of the murder she
saw Mrs. Elsie Hobbs Raymond,
person Suspected Of the crime, coming
from the direction of the Hackett
home.
Miss Cowan, who is 25 years of age.
and who resides between Readfleld
Corner and the Hackett residence
says:
Between s and 9 o'clock that night
l saw Elsie Raymond. whom l know
well. pass my house."
Miss Cowan says that she is sure
that she is not mistaken in the identi-
ffcatiOn as at that time Mrs. Raymond
was soon to become a mother and
there was a certain popularity always
evident in her walk.
She supposed that Mrs. Raymond
had made a call at the home of her
brother-inlaw. Nathan Raymond.
On the night in question four per-
sons have asserted that they saw a
woman bearing a strong resemblance
to Mrs. Raymond on the road leading
from the home to the Hackett farm
but We're not positive that it was her.
Miss Cowan states that the matter
weighed heavily on her mind and that
she could not hold back what she knew
about the case any longer.
Deputy Sheriff Brown will arrive in
Augusta about noon today and report
the matter TO the county authorities.

TARIFF REFORM.
Mr.. Davidson's Plan for Settling the
Question

The latest plan for tariff reform agitation
is proposed by Representative Davidson OF
Wisconsin in a resolution which he has in-
troduced in the house. Mr.. Davidson pro-
poses to find out just what there is in ali
this tariH reform talk. He wants a show
down" His plan is to have a subcommittee
of the house ways and means committee sit
during the recess Of Congress and give hear
ings on the subject of proposed tariff re-
vision. He says Let the people who demand
tariff revision come IN and tell why il is
necessary; why the Dingley schedules are
oppressive. II they oppressive. Then it
can be determined, declares MIR. Davidson
just how much Of the tariff agitation Is
buncombe and how much is real If the
farmers have a grievance against the iarin
let them express IT, and at the same time
say how far they will yield the protection
the bill gives their products against Ca
madam, Mexican and South American farm
and range products.
Let the New England manufacturers pre-
sent their troubles over the duty on hides.
coal and other raw material, and the; say
how much Of reduction they will give the
farmers of the west on shoes, wooden
goods, hardware, lamps. hats. and the like
In other words, says Mr.. Davidson in
effect, Tets have a heart-to-heart talk on
tariff schedules among all classes of pro-
ducers from all sections of the country and
then we can see whether there is real de-
mand for recasting the Dingley schedules -
His idea is that if the subcommittee re
ports at the next session of Congress the
existence of a well-defned demand for re-
vision Congress can go ahead with 1t either
at the regular session or an extra session
to be called after March 4.
; A benef1cent feature of the Davidson plan,
in the view of some republicans, is that
adoption OF the resolution would postpone
the crisis on tariff revision until after the
congressional elections. They could 80 be-
fore their constituents and say that Con-
gress was looking into revision and would
act in due season. That excuse would be
very grateful to q number of republicans
who are losing some sleep over revision
agitation.
