New York-Counsel for the Stand

have noted on the records Of the hear
Ing an admission that the stock Of the
Republic Oil Company and the Waters
Pierce Oil Company and the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana is held in trust
by the Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey.
Attorney General Hadley, in speak
ing of the admission, said:
THAT is practically my case. That
is the point set out to establish, and
have established 1t beyond a doubt.
This admission shows that every one.
no matter how powerful, must respect
the majesty Of the law.
Il feel that these admissions as to
the stock ownership establish the con-
nection between these two corpora
tions and the Standard Oil beyond
doubt. and Monday will show that the
business of both companies was di-
rected from &c Broadway.
81 feel that these admissions are
great victory for the people of Mis-
souri, and that trusts generally will see
that they cannot come into our state
and violate its law with impunity. 1t
was to establish Just these very points
admitted to-day that have been work
ing, and naturally feel that we have
achieved a great victory. I consider
the rest of this case as practically
proved and that the burden OF the
work has been accomplished. 1 am not
fighting trusts, simply violations Of my
states laws"

the Standard Oil Company, was the
first witness Saturday in the investiga-
ton conducted by Attorney General

oust the Standard Oil Company of In

Mr.. Hadley began by asking Mr..
Rogers if he is a stockholder in the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, and
Mr.. Rogers said he is.
Mr.. Hadley then read a question
asked at the previous nearing WHICH
charged that the Waters-Pierce COM
pany and the Republic Oil Company
and the Standard Oil Company Of In
diana, were doing business in Missouri
in violation Of that states antitrust
law.
'Is it not fact that the stock of
these three companies is held in the
Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey
or by some person or persons in trust
for it for combination trust, confed-
Grafton or agreement" the attorney
general asked.
"My knowledge is entirely limited as
to such Details" answered Mr.. Rogers.
Judge johnson, one of the attorneys
for the Standard Oil Company, then
had it noted on the record that the
Standard Oil Company would admit
that the stock of the Republic Oil
Company and the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. and the Standard Oil of In
diana, was held in trust by the Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey.
Judge Johnson added that the ad-
mission was made for the purpose OF
the present litigation.

MISS FLORENCE DAVIS
pGIlle Iltsle Southern Actress Winnlaa
Fame Behind f00ilahtS.

Miss Florence Davis. the petite lit
lie Southern actress, who is making
name for herself in The Player
Maid was here last evening in the
stellar role Of that delightful comedy,
This was Miss Davis first visit to
WaXahaohie and She captured her
audience by reason of her demure
loneliness and clover acting. She has
part that is perfectly suited to her,
and is to be congratulated in securing
play that brings out her special
power
The Player Maid was written by
Miss Louise Malloy of the Baltimore
American, aud 1t is a literary gem
and dramatic masterpiece Miss
Mailoy has taken q rather wornout
plot, but she has invested it with
some quite amusing scenes and witty
dialogue. The play is a romantic
comedy, cross between Captain
Debonnaire" and Pretty Peggy" but
is better than either. Each scene
is full of action, of novel incident of
sparkling and pungent wit, and there
is an artistic completeness in the ar
rangement, the climax occurring
just where the emotions OF the au-
dience logically demand it.
A fair sized audience greeted The
Player Maid" in Waxahachie last
night. The house should have been
packed Miss Davis is niece of
the sainted president of the Confed-
eracy, and a young woman of exceed
ingly attractive personality. She
shald her audience eaptivated from
her first appearance on the stage until

| last act So cleveriy and artistically
did she interpret the role of Eleanor
! Hallam, the famous actress of the
Drury Lane Theater, London. that
| she was frequently applauded during
the action of the play. In the second
act she was compelled TO respond to
the applause of the audience, and a
magnificent bouquet of white and
| pink carnations was. passed over the
/ footlights to Miss Davis The floral
! token was from the Daughters of
| the COnfederacy of WaxahaChie. Miss
! Davis has a we'll modulated voice,
! flexible and of vibrant power. which car
| ries her sentences to every part Of
| the theater Her captivating pettu-
lance and madcap frolicsome spirits,
and then in contrast, the depth and
tenderness shown in her love scenes
are exquisite
Elliott Dexter, leading man in
THE Player Maid is accepted as a
natural and gallant lover worthy of

affection rising above the petty de
sire for revenge, as expressed in his
