Austin. Tex, June 1.-The WateTs-Pierce Oil
Company of Missouri to-day adjudged
guilty of violating the antitrust laws Of Texas.
convicted OF having entered the state by fraud
and fined 1.623. 800. The states request for
custer proceedings granted.
Application for the appointment of receiver
for all property and assets of the Waters-Pierce
OIL Company in Texas. pending the hearing on
the application for an injunction to prevent the
removal OF the property, was filed by the states
attorneys tonight. The court granted the appli-
action for a temporary injunction. and set the
hearing for June s.
The state alleges that the penalties recovered
to-day by the state in the case. which amount
to s. .623 800, cannot be collected outside the
state and the property OF the defendant within
the state is wholly inadequate to pay the judg-
ment
Late tonight the attorneys for the defence
fled a motion for new trial. enumerating
fifteen reasons why the custer verdict Of the
jury to-day was unwarranted by the evidence
and by the law. and was contrary to the Con-
stitution OF the United States.
Judge ]. D. Johnson, general attorney for the
waters-Pierce Oil Company, left here for st.
Louis tonight. Before he went he was asked
what the Standard OIL Company intended to do
about the decision of the court, and what loss it
meant to them. Judge Johnson did not care to
discuss the matter. merely saying, "The Stand
ard has nothing whatever to do with it.
The waters-Pierce Oil Company had been re-
admitted, on the affidavit of H. Clay Pierce that
it was not connected with the Standard. for
which he was subsequently indicted. The state
later fled suit against the waters-Pierce COM
pany to force it to pay license fees. In the
custer proceedings the Attorney General con-
tended that the Waters-Pierce company should
be fined for every day that it permitted the
license to go unpaid.

CHAMBERLAIN IN LONDON
Former Colonial Secretary Better,
but Still in Weak Condition.

London, June AFTER the recent reassurng
reports from Saint Raphael France. regarding
the Improvement IN the health of Joseph Cham
berlain, his arriva! in England tonight was
somewhat of a shock TO the friends and admir-
ers who had gathered TO meet him both here
and at Dover. Apart from the fatigue Of the
troublesome journey, which he bore well, It was
evident that Mr.. Chamberlain was still long
way from that degree of recovery that would
give hope Of his resuming political life with any
activity
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied by his wife
and son. Neville. When the train arrived at the
Victoria Station he was lying back on the
cushions. seemingly almost helpless. He made
no effort TO rise until he assisted by his
wife and son. and II was remarked that he made
vain attempt to raise his hat in response to
a cheer from the small crowd at the station
Mr. Chamberlain was almost carried from the
train TO his carriage. He drove Immediately to
his London residence. It seems that he is
able TO walk by himself. Mr. Chamberlain's
face was much bronzed. and this may account
for a statement telegraphed from Dover that
he appeared yellow" Certain twitchings Of
the facial muscles suggest that the effects of his
recent seizure have rot yet been completely
shaken off.
In response to inquiries the family authorized
the following statement:
Mr. Chamberlain has returned much improved
in health and none the worse for the long jour
ney He has not yet made any plans. but will
certainly remain in London for time

WHAT ONE CRITIC SAYS.

"A regular examination is held for topograph-

borough officials yesterday "a man TO pass this
examination would have to understand drafting.
higher mathematics and have at least two years
practical experience that most of the men
who pass will either have been employed by the
city as rodmen. Jewellers, etc. at salaries up to
$1,000 to $1.350. or else men on private work,
where a good craftsman can always get 81, 200
a year.
"As soon as the list comes out some one bor-
ough such as Queens, will so right down the list
and certify all at $1,000 year. AS the regular
pay is from $1,000 to $4,000. practically all the
men on the list will refuse on the ground of
too small salary.
Then the Civil Service Commission is in
formed that more craftsmen can be secured.
and each borough holds "a temporary examina-
tion for craftsmen. These examinations

They asked only two questions of the
