STANDARD OIL TO
Fill EXCEPTIONS.

St. Louis, Mo-, June 7.-Attorneys
for the Standard Oil will
appear before the state supreme Dur
at Jefferson City tomorrow to file e X
ceptions to the recent report of Spec
ial Commissioner Anthony. in which
the contention of the state that the oil
trust" had entered into a conspiracy
in restraint of trade was sustained
in every particular.
St. Louis attorneys who have follow
ed the case believe mat the supreme
court will confirm the report, in which
case the licenses to do business in
Missouri granted to the Standard Oil
company of Indiana and the Republic
Oil company will be revoked, n the
charter of the waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany annulled.
Herbert S. Hadley, Missouri's attor-
ney general, has led il the fight to
GUST the alleged trust from the state
On March 90. 1905, Hadley commenced
quo warranto proceedings before the
supreme court directed against the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
Republic Oil Company n the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, h latter a Mis-
souri, corporation, alleging that they
entered into a combination in viola
tion of the antitrust statutes of the
state. The companies filed answers
attacking the cOnstitutionality of the
laws and entering d general denial
of Hadley's allegations.
Robert Anthony was appointed by
the supreme court as a special com
missioner to hear the testimony and
to report to the court his findings of
fact. The taking of testimony was
commenced in this city or June 20,
1905. and was closed January 81 of this
year. Hearings were held in various
cities throughout the country and the
production of the books and papers
of the defendant companies, after a
hard legal battle, disclosed many facts
in proof of the states contentious.
the report of Commissioner Antho-
ny stated that the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey the alleged parent
concern of the trust. owns all of the
stock of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and the Republic Oil Com
pany, and 6sh per cent. of the stock
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company.
1t was further found that a trust agree
ment between the three companies,
having for its purpose the restraint
of trade and humiliation of competi-
ton. was entered into in 1901 and
remained in force until the date of the
filing of the suit by Attorney General
Hadley.

HAGERMAN LETTER
SFRS UP THE ANIMALS

| Special Mail correspondence.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, une I'm spite
of the fact that the Andrews-Bursum
newspapers have declared the Hager-
MAI incident closed, in spite of the
fact that they have failed to publish
ever a fair synopsis of the Hagerman
letter to Roosevelt, and in spite of
the fact that they have referred tc
the letter as of no importance or int
| crest whatever, the letter seems to
be causing the members of the gang
uneasy nights. They apparently an
not keep from talking about it e
though it is an insignificant and un-
important document not worthy of
any notice. Yesterday the Andrews
Bursum organ nere had an meas
little story about some land office rec
ords which had cen sent to Wash
ington. and which it is well known
were sent there under rders from
the Interior Department. In this con-
nection the New Mexican stated that
Acting Governor Reynolds and Nor
gan O.. Llewellyn, = encouragement,
had nothing to say about the matter.
Tonight there appears a lengthy
interview with George w. Pricnard,
recently appointed attorney general
by Reynolds to fill the vacancy eau
ed by the resignation of Captain w.
c. Reid. Prichard seems to pay con-
siderable attention to the Hagerman
letter to the President. His two col
umn interview indicating that he con-
siders the charge that ne gave an
opinion declaring the Bonham and
Holt land transaction legal, of great
est Importance.
After quoting the paragraph from
Mr.. Hagerman's letter in which the
former governor states that On Feb
n 1nnn n-sl.- @-i,
ion sustaining the legality of the Bon
ham and Holt deeds. Pricaard replies
by saying that the statement is not
correct. that he made no sue opin-
ion, but that he did give an opinion
to land Commissioner A. A. Keen,
in which he said that since there APP
peared no irregularity in the applica-
ton of the sixty-two prospective pur-
cAasers of 16O-acre tracts to purchase
from the Territory, he thought the
transfer legal. In a word, the attor-
ney general says hat he didn't say
it, AID in the e. sentence that he
did. for it is well known in Santa Fe
and throughout the Territory that the
true nature of the Bonlam and Holt
transaction was known to all con-
cerled. from the land board to the
purchasers, only the individual appli-
cants who made their applications
at the request OF Holt being ignorant
of the details. This matter is fully set
forth in House Document $50, which
the HoIcomb report on the
Bonham and Holt transaction.
Pricnard continues at great length
in a discussion of Hagerman and his
administration, and in spite of the ut
ter lack of Importance said by the
newspapers to be attached
to the Hagerman letter. it begins to
appear that it has caused something
OF a scramble for cover.
