 TRUST $1623,sOO Waters-Pierce Company Violate
 Anti Trust Laws THE OUSTING PROCEEDINGS The Defense Asks for New Trial and the Case Finally Will Go to
 the United States Su-
 preme Court.
THE OUSTlNG PROCEEDINGS

Austin, Tex, June 1.-In consequence of rendering of a jury verdict to that effect, the Waters Pierce oil company of 1 Missouri, was today adjudged guilty of violating the antitrust laws of Texas. convicted of having entered the state by fraud, fined $1,623900 and the prayer of the state for busting proceedings granted.
 The defense late this afternoon filed motion for a new trial in line with future steps of appeals to the state supreme court the case to be finally taken to the federal courts. The state filed appli- cation with District Judge Brooks, pray ing for the appointment of a receiver, also an injunction to restrain the company from moving any of its property in the state. The judge granted temporary injunction and set the receivership case for hearing June B. The trial has con- sumed the past three weeks in the state district court here and It's conclusion by the jury by verdict today is merely the beginning of the long legal battle that is promised before a conclusion Is reach ed. At the outset of the proceedings, the defense attempted to secure change of venue upon prejudicial grounds, but in vain they have sought to secure judg ment by default in order to hasten their course to the federal courts. The state successfully baked any such movements here and worked the case out to it's con clusion They had their witnesses on the stand for ten days. The defense consum ed a trihe over two days and the case was submitted without argument.
 The jury whs out over night, returning their verdict this morning as soon as court convened.
 The basis of the present legal contro- versy Is the antitrust laws of 1899 and 1s03 Of the penalties assessed by the verdict of the jury, J. P. Gruet, Jr., of St. Louis will secure one-fourth of the fee that goes to the county attorney. which Is $3S7,3l5. The remainder of the judg- ment will go to the state barring some Sl5,000 which will have to be paid to special attorneys employed to assist the state in the prosecution.
 Will Appeal Case.
 St. Louis, June 1.-Former Judge s. H. Priest counsel for the Waters-Pierce Oil company said tonight after being in- formed of the verdict rendered by the jury in Austin, that the case would be appealed. He said
 The charge to the Jury is in itself fun damental error. In reality the contention of the state of Texas is that the Standard oil company owned two-thirds of the stock of the Waters Pierce oil company. The company holds that a corporation cannot be a trust unless 1t is made up of competing factors engaged in the same business in each state.
 "Of course 1t would be absurd for me to say the company cannot ultimately be prevented from operating in Texas, but am confident in saying it stands an ex- cellent chance of having the finding of yesterday set aside by the supreme

A cane out of the center of the Cold Harbor battlefield was presented by J. J.
 Estes, Company D, Eighth Virginia cav
 airy, to Gen. Stephen D. Lee. The com mander accepted the gift in fitting lan- guage.
 A stirring speech was made during one
 of the unoccupied intervals by General Young of Kentucky, who commented upon the many monuments which had been
 erected to the memory of the Confederate
 soldiers in the southland. He said that
 Kentucky alone had raised forty to Con federates and not one to Federals. Former United States Senator James H. Berry of Arkansas, who lost a leg at Corinth Miss, was presented to the convention. When he hobbled forward he was greeted by a tremendous wave of ap- plause, and once again the whole con,' vention arose to its feet Senator Berry delivered an address replete with felici-
 tous references to Virginia. The eonven- tion formally received a committee from the Sons of Veterans, which was headed by John M. Apperson of Tennessee. who delivered a cordial greeting. This speech was responded to by Dr. J. William Jones.
 The greatest enthusiasm and the loudest cheering of the day occurred when the hour for electing officers came, though it cannot bessaid that there was the slight est doubt about the outcome. The re- suit was as above stated. A few minutes after the choice of the
 next meeting place the convention ad-
 journed until Monday after a session which had been full of fire and spirit, but which nevertheless accomplished a great deal of work in a comparatively short while.
 It was announced that Mobile is fixing
 her triggers to play host to the old sol- diers in 1910.

Sons Held Meeting.

The Sons of Veterans held their last and most important meeting this after noon and passed a resolution forbidding the election of any person to office oth- CT than sons of veterans who bore arms
 in the civil war. It will appear strange that the grandson of President Jeffer son Davis is not eligible to membership in the Sons, but 1t is pointed out that he is not the son of veteran and that his grandfather did not bear arms, al- though he was commander-in-ch chief in
 the Confederate army and navy.
 The election of officers was without
 contest, John w. Apperson, of Mem phis, being elected commander in chief; W. W. Old, of Norfolk, Va, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia; Clarence J. Owens, of Alabama, com
 mander of the Army of Tennessee, and J. H. Hilliard, of Texas, commander of the Army of Trans Mississippi
 Dr. Thomas M. Owen of Alabama, late commander in chief, was made his torian general and a committee on his tory, composed of one member from
 each state, was elected to assist him The women of the Confederacy held
 most interesting meeting in the after
 noon. The most important business transacted was the passing of resolu- tions which names committe of three women from the Womens Memorial as- sociation and three members of the United Confederate Veterans, to request the United States government to re- store the names of Jefferson Davis and Col Alfred Rives. which were cut from Cabin Johns bridge, near Washington, during the war. Mrs. Hayes, daughter of MT. Davis, in a short address, told the association that it had been the dying request of her father that his
 name be restored to Cabin Johns bridge.
