NEED NOT ANSWER
DECISION OF GILDERsLEVEE IN
 CASE OF ROGERS,
New York Justice Holds that Missouri Court shOuId Determine the Ques-
 tIOn Raised by Attorney A.. General Hndley.


 New York. Jan. 31.--A decision that Henry H., Rogers, Vice. President of the Standard oil Company of New Jersey. shall not be compelled to answer the questions which he recently refused to answer in tho taking of testimony here in the case Of the State of Missouri against the Standard oil Company of Indiana and other oil companies. was handed down today by Justice Glider sleeve In the Supreme Court.
 The application to compel Mr., Rogers to answer questions was made by At- torney- General Hadley of Missouri. The companies affected in this case are the Standard oil Company of Indiana, the Waters Pierce oil Company, and the Republic oil Company. The State of Missouri seeks to oust them from do- ing business In Missouri.
 The application was denied for the reason that in Justice Glldersleeve' g opinion the court of original jurlsdic- ton in Missouri should determine the question raised by Mir. Hadley Leave to renew this application was granted Mir. Hadley
 statement by HadIey.
 Jefferson City, Mo, Jan. 3l.--Regard- Ing the decision handed down today in New York by Justice Gildersleeve In the Supreme Court that Henry H. Rog- CTS shall not be compelled to answer questions he recently refused to an swer in reference to the Standard oil Company, Attorney General Hadlev tonight made the following sta.cmont to the Associated Press.
 From telegram received from Henry Willman of New York I am ad- vised that Judge et.S..dersleeve's decision is to the effect that he will not com pei Mir. Rogers to answer the ques- tions asked him pending the decision by the supreme court of Missouri con- corning the questions certified to it by Judge Anthony. This case was re- ferred by the supreme court of the State of Missouri to Judge Anthony and he has decided that similar aues- tions to those asked Mir. Rogers were material and Judge Gildersleeve at the conclusion of the arguments before him decided that the questions asked MT. Rogers were proper and not ma terial. and his decision today indicates that he Is still of the same opinion.
 "If the supreme court of the State of Missouri decides that ,..4s question has not been certified to 1t by Judge Anthony, or if 1t decides mat the posi- tion taken by Judge Anthony and Judre Gndersleve with reference to inc materiaIity of these questions is correct, then, under the decision of Judge Gildersleeve, 1t will be neces- sary for Mir. Rogers to answer the questions asked him.

SECRETARY ROOTS TRIP.
Places at Which He WW Make
StOps an South AmeriCa.

Washington, June 29.-Secretary Root will ac-
cept the hospitality of Chill and make part of
his trip along the west coast of South America
in a Chilian warship. The United States cruiser
Charleston on which Secretary Root will sail
for South America, is too large a craft to work
its way along the inside passage from the Strait
of Magellan TO Valparaiso. Chilli, and corse-
quenty Secretary Root and his party will prob
ably leave the Charleston at Sandy Point In
the Strait of Magellan. and go aboard Chilian
man-of-war which can work its way along be-
tween the islands of the west coast and the
mainland, thus shortening the trip by several
hundred miles and enabling Mr. Root TO remain
longer in Chilli.
AS it is extremely cold in that part of the
world in August Mr.. Root and his family will
miss much cold weather and rough sea by
taking the inside route. The marked changes
in temperature they will encounter will be
among the disagreeable features of the trip.
From the extreme heat of the region of the
equator Mr. Root will be rapidly plunged into
the cold of the far south. and will emerge from
the cold into the heat of the equatorial countries
again, all within a few weeks.
The Charleston is a 20-knot vessel and con-
sequently Secretary Root will be able to make
his long trip in much shorter time than he could
an ordinary commercial vessel. For the most
part, the stops will be extremely short
Secretary Root will probably be in Rio Janeiro
for about ten days. His stops on the west coast
of South America will be at Valparaiso. Chill;
Callao. Peru, and Guayaquil. Ecuador. From
Valparaiso he will journey by rail to Santiago,
trip from CallaO to Lima the Peruvian capital.
The distance from Guayaquil to Quito. the cap
ital of Ecuador, is so great that Mr. Root prob
ably will be unable to make the trip.
After crossing the Isthmus of Panama, Mr..
Root will go to Cartagena, Colombia, to pay his
respects to that government The Colombian
gena to greet Mr.. Root and il is not unlikely
that President Reyes himself will make the long
trip from Bogota to greet the Secretary of State.
Cartagena will be Mr.. Roots last stop before
returning to New York.

Judge ThrO1os Motion for Trust
Men ont of Court.

Toledo, June 29-There a sensational
scene in Common Pleas Court this afternoon.
when attorneys for two of the condemned ice
men argued a motion to set aside the sentence
on the ground that defendants pleaded guilty on
the promise of the court that leniency would be
shown, that the court was prejudiced in passing
sentence and that the law is unconstitutional.
Judge Kinkade threw the motion out of court
and from the bench vigorously assailed the at
torneys for the defendants Both sides used
language not often heard in courtroom, and
created a genuine sensation. The same motion
has been filed in the Circuit Court and will be
heard tomorrow.
The court has reduced the fines and imprison-
ment of each OF the five ice dealers to $500
and six months in the workhouse, and will hea r
