His Connection with Business in
Texas He Insists Was Per-
fectIy Straight.
10 DEALS WITH THE OIL TRUST
What He Told the Standard People
When Asked for Advice.
Better Keep Ont of Texas-Never Re
ceived Money for Political Serv-
ices Rendered the Wat
ers- Pierce Co.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 21.-BefOre the
investigating committee Of the house
and senate United States Senator Bail
ey continued the story Of his financial
deals with John H. Kirby, the Texas
millionaire lumberman: S. G. Bane,
president of the Seaboard National
hank, of New York; Henry Clay
Pierce, president of the board Of direc-
tors of the Waters-Pieree Oil company;
B. +. Yoakum, who is at the head o.
two railroad systems and with various
other inanciers.
What He Told the Standard.
One of his most important state
ments was that he had been asked by
the Standard Oil company officials in
New York. Immediately after the
Beaumont oil field boom, to give them
an opinion as to what the OppOrtuni-
ties were for them to re-enter the state
again and do business. Il gave them
4 written opinion in which stated
that If they attempted to do business
in the state they would be put in the
penitentiary and their property alb
sorbed In fines and penalties" said
Senator Bailey.
No Connection with the Octopus.
Bailey told of his efforts to assist
his client, J. H. Kirby, in regaining his
stock from Patrick Calhoun, of Wall
street, and stated that the $156,00O he
borrowed was because the Kirby Lum-
Der company could not legally assume
these obligations. He stated that Hen
n Clay Pierce gave his written guar
antee for the payment Of this sum Of
money. The senator denied most en-
phatically that be had conducted an oil
business in Texas in conjunction with
the Waters-Pierce Oil company or the
Standard Oil company.
Declares the Charge False.
Senator Bailey said there was not
q shadow of truth in the charge that
he had accepted money for political
services rendered the Waters-Pierce
/ OIL company. He denied emphatically
that his efforts in behalf Of his clients
had any effect on his public duties. He
/ said that his attendance upon sessions
of congress was as regular as any
other member; that it was impossible
/ for a lawyer who was q member of
congress TO engage in general practice
because of conflicting sessions OF
courts and congress. The witness told
Of his transportation amendment to
the rate bill and his conversation with
| Yoakum about it.

Given Use of Glass.

Madison, Wis, Nov.-J. E. Melish, the Cottage Grove farmer boy, who with the aid of handmade telescope, discovered two comets within a year, will not have to use his old glass any longer. He has been notified that he will be permitted to use any of the apparatus at the Washburn Ob- servatory whenever he desires. He will be given such help in pursuing his study of astronomy as he desires from the best men in the Universit of Wisconsin He has also been of fered the same privileges at the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago, at Lake Geneva, Wis, but prefers to work at Washburn, be- cause he can then work at his farm chores in the daytime and study the heavens at night.

Charged With Arson.

Enid, Okla, Nov.-Clyde Canifax, night watchman at the Farmers Un- ion mill, was arrested shortly after midnight Sunday morning on a charge of arson. The police were watching for the man who started ten destruc- tive fires here Thursday night and attempted to start another Friday night. About midnight three special policemen reported that they saw Can flax leave the mill office and go to the side of the building where a box car loaded with laths was standing. In a few minutes he came out of the car and it was reported, began firing shots in the air and at the same time the lathS began to blaze. Pieces of an oiled gunnysack taken from the engine room of the mill were used to start the fire. Four hundred men assembled on the public square and for time Canifax seemed in danger of being lynched. The whiskey ele- ment, who resent prohibition have been blamed for the attempts to burn the city. Canifax is unmarried He was formerly a brakeman on the Frisco and comes from a good fam fly.

WILL ISSUE S15O.OoO, ,OOO.
That Amount of Panama Bonds and Certificates of Indebtedness Will
 Be Floated by U. 6. Treas
ury.

Washington, Nov.-Sec1 etary Cortel you has made the important an nouncement that as a Dleans of af fording relief to the financial situa- tion, the treasury would issue $50, 100000 of Panama bonds and $100- 0O0,O00 certificates of indebtedness, or so much thereof as may be neceS- sary. The certificates will run for one year and will bear per cent inter est. The secretary's action in com ing to the relief of the financial sit nation meets with President Roose- velt's hearty approval, and the plan is the outcome of the several White House conferences which have been held withtin the past few days, when the financial situation was under con- sideration. Secretary Cortelyou says that the Panama bonds will afford most substantial relief, as the law provides that they may be used as a basis for additional national bank circulation. He also states that the proceeds from the sale of the certi- ficates can be made directly avail able at points where the need is most urgent and especially for the move ment of the crops, which, he says, ''if properly accelerated will give the greatest relief and result in the most immediate financial returns"
 Secretary Cortelyou calls attention to the attractiveness of the bonds and certificates as absolutely safe in vetsments and adds that these relief measures will enable him to meet public expenditures without withdrawing for that purpose any appreciable amount of the public moneys now deposited in national banks throughout the coun- try. Two treasury circulars, one in viting proposals for the issue of bonds and the other asking for certificates, have been sent out under date of November IS.
 In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou approving the treasury plans, Presi- dent Roosevelt states that he has been assured that the leaders in Congress have under consideration a currency measure which will meet in perma- nent fashion the needs of the situa- tion, and which 1 believe will be passed at an early date after Congress rOnVeneS"
