ing of the league today In his letter
the president wrote that If the state
authorities did not do their duty in

There Is much outcry, chiefly, |
think, from the benefciarles of abuses
against interference by national gov
ernmcnt with the work which should
be done by the state governments"
said the president,
II would always rather have local
authorities themselves attend to any
evil, and therefore ! would rather
have state authorities work out such
reforms, when possible; but if the
state authorities do not do "a they
should IN matters of such vital i'm
portancc to the whole nation as this
of child labor. then there will be no
choice but for the national govern
mcnt to interfere am striving to
secure either final action or else urge
full and thorough investigation of the
matter by authority of congress at
the present time"

Trainer. taking the witness stand tes-
titled that the money had never been

showed unsigned vouchers received
for these loans and that the money
had never been handed back to the
company.
Trainer said he was formerly the
crude oil purchasing agent. for the
standard Oil company of New York,
ana as such he purchased all the oil
and sold il to the refineries. He said
he acted in a similar capacity now for
the Standard Oil company of New
