THE INVESTIGATION
Standard Oil Trust Seeks to
Cast DiSCfedit on
Witness.
Letters Read Showing That
He Threatened the
Corporation.

CHICAGO, Nay 12-Nearly every
railroad running north, south and
west from Chicago was represented
today before the Interstate Commerce
Commission when the Investigation
into the relations of the Standard Oil
Company with the railroads was re-
sumed
Attorney Laforge, representing the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky,
opened the proceedings by a cross-ex-
animation Of Haywood Maxon of H.
linois, who was the last witness at
the hearing yesterday.
The attorney read a number OF let
ters written by Aaxon, in which he
threatened to make trouble for the
Standard Oil Company because he had
been refused a years leave of absence.
One of the letters read:
Il mean to make all the trouble for
the company can. Your attorney,
Mr.. Eddy, attacked my interests be
fore the Legislature at Springfield,
H., and l will get even before l am
through"
Maxon admitted being the writer OF
the letters.
rs it not true that you have about
1000 letters and documents in your
possession belonging to the Standard
Oil Company Of Kentucky?" asked La
forge
Il have a large number of letters
and, papers addressed to officers CT the
company and letters written by them
to their agents" the witness replied
How did you get them?"
In the same way that for years
got information for the Standard Oh
Company"
Attorney Laforge then read a letter
written by Maxon to c. NJ Pratt, an
officer of the Standard Oil Company
! in New York, in which he said that
he had obtained 500 letters from one
of the company's agents in Ohio, and
had allowed Commissioner Garfield tc
copy them for use in prosecuting the
company.
In answer to questions of the attor
ney regarding passes Maxon said thai
he had passes on nearly every rail
road in his territory and used them il
travelling on the company's business
He obtained the passes, he said, from
Treasurer Holmes and other officials
of the Standard Oil Company.
A. ]. Davidson, president of the st
Louis and San Francisco Railroad, fol
lowed Mr.. Maxon On the stand. He
said that there are no pipe lines or
the right of way of his company fol
any considerable distance, and thai
the road has no contract to install E
pipe line. He said that the Cudahy
Refining Company had made applica
ton to install a pipe line from the
Kansas Oil fields to st. Louis, and
that the proposition was declined b,
the executive committee of the rail
road. The witness said that he does
not believe that the Cudahy Company
is afiiated with the Standard inter
ests.
do you know of any reason why
the Cudahy people should not bt
given the right to construct a pipe
line and the Standard should be giver
such a right?" asked COMMISSIONS
Prouty.
q can think of no reason" said Da
wilson.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years of
Torture

For more than twenty years Mr.. j.
b, Massey, of $500 Clinton ST., Mime
apolis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he endur-
ed during this time is beyond compre-
hension, Nothing gave him any perman-
ent relief until he used Chamberlain S
Pain Balm, One application Of that lin
iment relieved the pain and made sleep
and rest possible, and less than one
bottle has effected a permanent cure.
If troubled with sciatica or rheumatism
why not try a 25-cent bottle of Pain
Balm and see for yourself how quickly

OPENING
SCENES Of
CONFERENCE
Duke Of Almodovar Elected Pre-
sidsnt Of Morocco Confer
ence.
Ambassador White Most Satisfied With
Result. Adjourn Until To.
morrow.

Algeciras, Spain, jan 16.-Moroc-
can conference has opened. Duke OF
Almodovar, Spanish foreign minister
delivered speech OF welcome. 1t was
noticed that French and British dele
gates drove to the conference together,
Excitement prevailed. The American
delegation arrived at hall, following
Spanish, French. German and British
delegations. Herr Won Radowitz,
chief of German mission proposed
Duke Of Almodovar as president Of
the conference and other countries re-
presented, including the United States,
seconded proposal
Duke OF Almodovar was unanimously
elected president and the conference
adjourned at 1855 until tomorrow.
Ambassador White was most salts.
fed with the result Of the meeting
as Duke Of Almodovar emphasized
the necessity Of independence Of Mo-
rocco and the open door In which
he was Immediately and strongly Sec
onded by the French and German del
egates.
France, throughout the contro.
versy and up to the opening confer
ence, has maintained that she has q
special or privileged position in Mo
rocco. That Is the vital question
about to be considered, for the Ques-
tions of contraband and customs are
largely detail. II the special position
OF France Is recognized, then the COM
ing conference will turn over to
France the organization OF police and
military and the surveillance Of con-
traband. In short all Of the questions
involved, hinge upon the main ques.
tion as to whether the. special posi-.
tion Of France is to be clearly recog
nized.
On the eve of the Moroccan con
ference it Is well to define the essen
tjal issues presented, as they will
clearly indicate the general scope o.
the meeting and the chief danger Of
the issue involved. On September
2Sth last, NJ. Rouvier for France and
Prince Radolin for Germany, reached
an agreement on the exact program o1
the conference. This program II
quite short as 1t was part OF Rou
vier's skillful diplomacy to bring tht
conference within the closest possible
limits. The program agreed upon II
as follows: THE two governments arr
In accord in proposing to the Sultar
the following program:
First--The organization, by inter
national accord, of police, except or
the Algerian frontier.
Second-The surveillance and re
repression of counterbrand arms ex
cept along the Algerian frontier.
Third-Financia reforms. the crea
iton of a state bank, with the priv
ileges Of issuing currency.
Foutrh--A study of customs and tn
new means of raising revenues. Th'
agreement contains some minor fea
lures but the foregoing are essentia
questions to oe presented.
