STANDARD OIL APPEALS
Ex-senator j. K. Jones Calls on
President Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 9-President Roosevelt was
appealed to by the Standard Oil Company to-
day in regard to its controversy with the De-
partment Of the Interior over oil line leases in
the Indian Territory. Ex-senator James K
Jones, Of Arkansas. representing the company
in a legal capacity. and Mr.. Barnesdale, OF
Pittsburg representing the company directly
were callers at Sycamore Hill. They arrived
on the morning train, and after spending sew
eral hours with the President returned to New
York in an automobile. Both of them declined
TO discuss the object of their visit. Mr. Jones
said the call related purely to a matter Of bust
ness. and he declined to say what the results
were. The oil lease controversy in the Indian
Territory has been a matter of lively cOnten-
ton before the Department of the Interior for
some time and the status Of those leases was
made the subject Of protracted consideration by
Congress IN the recent statehood legislation.

DEMOCRATS ALARMED.
Worried by JOnes's Connection 5Cith
STANDARD oil Company.
IFrcm The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. Aug. 9.-There is CONSERVATION in
the Democratic Congress Committee headquarters
in Washington tonight the news from Oyster
Bay that ex-senator James X Jones called on
the President to-day in the capacity OF special
torney for the Standard Oil Company In view OF
the fact that Mr.. Jones is of the leading Demo-
Gratis Of the country. that he twice chairman
Of the Democratic National Committee, and that
his name is synonymous with Bryan Democ-
racy the country over. the Democratic committee
men feel that he should have refrained from SO
publicly revealing his connection with the Standard
OIL Company. The action of Mr. Jones places him
in much the same category as j. NJ; Guffey, Of
Pennsylvania Patrick II. McCarren, or New York,
and Senator Bailey Of Texas. the special friends
and advocates of the Standard. And, too, this
at time when the Republican party has
enacted the Lodge pipeline amendment, striking
body blow at the Standard monopoly, and when
the Attorney General is conducting prosecution
of the Standard OIL Company.
OF course II is easy to explain these things away
among themselves, TO enlarge the tempting size
of the Standard retainers and the iuicness of the
Campaign contributions which these prominent
Democrats may be able to obtain in return for
their services but how" ask the Democratic
Congress- Committee workers, ARE we to explain
these things 10 the voters2 How to recon-
Gle these things with our protests against monop-
DIV and our charge that ii Is the Republican party
alone which shelters and fosters monopoly

Murder and lynchins in Argenta.
 John B, Lindsay, white, of Jackson Vile, Pulaski county. was killed. and his son. Milton Lindsay, was injured by two negroes. declared by Hilton Lindsay to be Garret and c. C. .Colum, establishment, 505 East Washington avenue, Argenta, on the night of Oc- tober G. The negroes were at large at last accounts. They escaped by locking the doors of the rear rooms of their establishment just after the shooting to cause those who gathered to believe they were still In the build ing. They evidently got out of the building within few minutes after the first shots were fired. The two men are believed to have gone toward Menifee, where they formerly lived. Tie house was dynamited by the of. ficers, but no one was found therein. The killing was the echo of tragedy of some weeks before, when one of the Colums was killed II. Black burn, a negro about 37 years of age, who conducted confectionery store in Argenta, next 10 the grocery. and undertaking establishment of the Colums, was lynched the night fol. lowing at the corner of Sixth a9d Main streets. just half block from the city hall, which contains the city's jail and fire station. The negro did not confess nor did he make aEy statement. He was seemingly 60 badly frightened that the only woIAs he uttered were "Oh, Lordy, Oh, Lordy." Blackburn was strung up to telegraph pole, rope about fifty feet in length being thrown over the cross-arm at the top of the pole, and the victim of the mob being drawn up about half way to the eross-beam Shortly after he was strung up some fifteen or twenty shots were fired at him, and many of the bullets took effect in his body.

Attorney General Robert l.. Rogers hase filed motion in the second divi. sion of the Circuit Court of Pulaski county, asking that the answer of the Hammond Packing Company in the antitrust suits against the company be stricken out. and that judgment for $1O.00O be given the state.

Judge Winfield received the motion and set October 20 as the date for the argument. The motion sets forth the fact that J. Ogden Armour and number of other directors of the packing company refused 10 give evi dencc before Commissioner Lyle D. Taylor of Chicago.

BELONGED TO HERO
MISS MARY LEE HAS RELICS OF
 GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Tents Used by the First President During the War of the Revoiu. ton to Be Sold for a Pa
 triotic Purpose.

To help swell the endowment of the Confederate Women's home. at Rich mond. Va.--the charity that Is dear est to her heart--Miss Mary Lee. the only surviving daughter of Gen. Rob ert F.. Lee, purposes selling two of the three camp tents used by George Washington In the war of the reyo- luuon. They are among the most precious of the Washington relics, which were saved from the home of Gen. Leo at Arlington. when it was seized by troops of the northern arm ies following the expulsion of the con- federate leaders family in 1861.
 The two tents, with canvas and poles well preserved, are at present packed away in leather cases in the National museum at Washington Miss Lee thinks that Independence hall. in Philadelphia. is the proper place for them, and efforts may be made by patriotic citizens of that city to pur- chase one or both by popular subscrip- tion.
 Notwithstanding that she is ap- preaching her sixtieth year. Miss Leo looks to be many years younger Her step is as sprightly as a girls, and her face wears tho accumulated tan of her long travels
 Among the relics which Miss Lee especially prizes. are several large mossagate buttons-each nearly an inch in diameter, with silver shanks. which she and one of her sisters dur. ing childhood's prank. clipped from one of Washington's coats, thus bring. ing upon them a stern reproof from her mother and her grandfather, George Washington Parke Curtis. The buttons were never sewed on the coat again. and were the only part of the garment saved after Arlington was con- iscated by the government In set tings of gold Miss Lee now wea-s them in the form of breastpins aud pendants.
 Tt has been in my mind for come time to dispose of the two tents. which I own, for the benefit of the Richmond home," said Miss Lee l There were three tents used by Washington in his campaigns that came into the possession of my grand l father. who was Martha Washington's only grandson. The largest, which was Washington's mess tent, was given to the government by my grandfather
 ''The ladies of Mount Vernon sc. ciety have asked if l would sell them the other two. But I do not think Mount Vernon the proper place for them. I have been told that certain wealthy men in the west will pay me any price for them. but will not dis pose of them to any but resident Of one of the 13 original states. It was my idea to sell one to New York and one to Pennsylvania. I have fixed no definite price, but would like to secure about $10.000 for the two, as that is the sum which l should like | to raise for the Confederate home. There Is no place at which should l rather see at least one of the tents | than in Independence hall. in Phila- delphia. beside the Liberty bell and it's other historic relics"
