hearings in the oil investigation be-
ginning tomorrow.
The entire commission sat for to-
days hearing.
The first witness was W. A. Patton,
President Gassatt,s assistant al Phila-
delphia. He was asked what interest
he had in coal companies. He emu
merated the various companies in
which he held stock. Patton proved
an unwilling witness when questioned
about mis- holdings IN the Atlantic
Crushed Coke Company, and repeated
efforts were made by Glasgow to draw
a positive statement as 20 whether he
had paid any actual cash for his 400
shares in the company. Patton eX-
plained that he became interested in
the Land Purchasing Company
through ]. Howard Patton. who rep
resented the interests of Colonel
GeOge T Huff. When the land was
purchased, he said, the investors were
obliged 10 pay their pro rata but as
there had been no Hesses II was neces-
ssry 10 pay IN cash.
