TO NAME RECEIVER
 FOR WATERS-PIERCE
Affairs of Oil Company in Texas Wilr Re Probably Put in Hands of
 Banker, Pending Appeal.

Austin, Tex, June 11.--After heap~ ing the arguments of the defense nr,. on the application of the state for the appointment of receiver for the Waters-Pierce Oil Company in Texas, and declining to listen to the arpn~ ments of the state, Judge Brooks yes- terday announced that he would grant the request and appoint receiver, not because it was necessary to in- sure the collection of the penalties according to the verdict brought in by the jury, but because it was evident that the defendant proposed to COZ tinue to conduct it's business pending the determination of the appeal, in the manner and by the same means as has been found by the jury to be in viola tion of the laws of the state of Texas
 At a conference to which the court invited the lawyers for the state and defense, the court stated that he con- templated appointing Robert J. Eek hardt, cashier of the First National bank of Taylor, Texas, to be receiver for the Waters-Pierce Company, and that it was possible that he would ap- point joint receivership. The ap- pointment or appointments will prob ably be made tomorrow

w. Cooley, an assistant to federal Attorney General Bonaparte. AL though MT. Cooley refused to dis cuss his mission to Little Rock, it
 was admitted by Internal Revenue Collector Tucker and United States Marshal Remmel that his visit was to deal with the Bratton case, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 Mr. Cooley yesterday had talk with United States District Attor- ney U. s. Bratton.

Remmel said he was here inquiring about the Bratton matter Several weeks ago it was reported that MT. Brat ton would tender his resignation to the department of justice on July l.
 Several weeks ago MT. Tt0ker and MT. Remmel went to Washing ton and took the question up with President Roosevelt and Attorney General Bonaparte. On their re- turn from Washington it was un- derstood the question was settled. The trip of MT. Cooley to Little Rock, if he delved into the case, would indicate the case has not been entirely disposed of.
 MT. Cooley was visitor in Lit tie Rock about two years ago, when he was a member of the civil serv- ice commission. He is large man and an athlete. One of his hobbies is the playing of lawn tennis. He plays tennis with Presi- dent Roosevelt. on the tennis court in the rear of the White House at
