LAWSON BACK SLIDES.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Before Thorn
as w. Lawson's recent return from
Europe it was reported he had entered
into an alliance, with the Standard Oil
and the system which during the
last few years he has bitterly de-
nounced, and that on coming back he
would take charge of the stock market
manipulations for the Rockefeller
Rogers group.
Lawson's advertisements, which he
has been running in Eastern newspa-
pers for the purpose of shaping the
market since a few days after his ar
rival here, now show this report to be
correct. He has been hesitating to
admit his newly formed connection
and his advertisements until today left
the fact in doubt.
In today's proclamation Lawson
urges the public to buy st. Paul Rail-
road and Amalgamated Copper stocks
and he says plainly: Both companies
are controlled and managed by Will
liam Rockefeller and Henry H. Rog-
ers." He praises Rogers as the "ablest
all-round financier in the world" and
Rockefeller as one who comes up to
his ideal of good, wholesome man,
made in the image of his God"
Lawson Is somewhat apologize in
this advertisement. So far the public
does not appear to have bitten at Law
sons promise of great rise in the
prices of these stocks.
