JEFFERSON CITY. MO-, MAY 81
Judge Robert A. Anthony appointed
by the Supreme Court of Missouri to
take testimony In the suit instituted
by Attorney General Hadley against
the Republic Oil Company, charging
Ia conspiracy, today made his report
TO the court. His findings hold that
the Standard, Waters-Pierce and
Republic Oil Companies entered into
an agreement to control prices of

charters be revoked, that they be
ousted from the State. He holds that
THE Supreme Court has the authority
to make tho ruling of custer.
Judge Anthony reviews In detail
the testimony showing the organiza-
{, ton and conduct of the companies.
He reports to the court that the evil
dencc shows that IN 1901 the Standard
lOn Company, the Watcr-Pierco OIL
Company and Republic OIL Company
entered into an agreement which
continued to exist to tho time of the
filing of the suit for the purpose of

Companies Prevented Competition.
The report says that In pursuance
Iof the agreement the oil companies
prevented competition among them
iselves and others in Missouri, secur-
! ing control of 80 per cent of all the
oil. business, deprivlng the people OF
free, full and wholesome competition;
| that the oil companies misled the
public into the belief that they were
separate and distinct corporations,
when in fact the agreement made
them one corporation.

any from Newport News or vicn-

,HHThis carr for Norfolk" is the first
thing one hears upon leaving the
grounds; two great painted signs in

that tho two car lines go to Norfolk,
one by way of Ocean View and the
other by way OF Tanners creek; n
visitor wishing to reach Norfolk does
not have TO ask questions to learn
which car to take, but IL question is
