ATTORNEY GENERAL DAvlDsoNs
REPLY.

Yesterday the big dailies of the
state printed Attorney General David
sons reply to Senator Bailey and his
other critics. It is lengthy, and is one
of the most manly documents that has
appeared in print in a long time. The
attorney general is very temperate,
yet incisive, and at times sarcastic.
He shows that the 'irrefragable proof
which Senator Bailey offered proved
to be merely the testimony given by
Baileys friend, H. Clay Pierce, wit
ness whom Davidson declares is i'm
peachable The attorney general de-
clares Bailey grossly misrepresented
the facts, and misquoted Gruett in his
assertion that an agreement had been
made with Gruett not to bring suit
against the Standard Oil company,
and to substantiate this claim, he re-
produces Gruett's testimony, as it APP
peared in full in the Houston Post of
Feb. 4, 1907, which was as follows:
Q. Now, when you entered into the
contract with reference to these cases
here, didn't you enter into a contract
that you were not to testify against
the Standard Oil company? Why
don't you answer that? A. Because l
do not know that / did.
Q. Don't you know that you did?
A. l did not enter into any contract
not to testify against the Standard
Oil company.
Q. Wasn't that the agreement and
understanding that you were to pro-
tect the Standard Oil company? A.
1t was not, sir.
Q. Wasn't it the understanding
that you were not to testify against
the Standard Oil company? A. It
was not
Q. Was there anything said about
that? A. Why, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, said, when
you enter this suit here you don't
want to drag the Standard Oil COM
pany into it and mix that up like they
have in Missouri in that suit" | new
er made any contract with anybody
not to testify against the Standard Oil
company
O. You knew that the Standard Oil
company had two refineries in Texas,
didn't you; one at Beaumont and one
at Corsicana? A. | knew the one at
Corsicana, but | did not ever hear
anyone admit that the one at Beau
mont was a Standard Oil refinery.
Q. You never heard that admitted.
A. No, sir; not admitted.
Q. But you did demand that when
they brought this suit here they
should not mix the Standard Oil com
pany up in it? A. ! did not demand
that; no sir.
Q. What did you say about it? A.
said would have nothing to do with
It if it was.
Q. If the Standard Oil company
was brought into it? A. Yes, sir.
Q. And that was with Lightfoot?
think so; yes, sir.
Q. Don't you know that it was? A.
say I think so; that is sufficient, is
it not?
Q. And you declined to deliver the
vouchers and other papers, and said
you would have nothing to do with It
if the Standard Oil company was
mixed up in it, didn't you? A. Yes,
sir. that is the effect Of what I said.
May / say a word of explanation?

Pasadena Agency.

PASADENA, March 2S.-The Pasa-
dena board Of trade seriously consid-
cred at q special meeting this even
ing its financial outlook, in fact the
meeting was one of ways and means,
for 1t has been only too apparent to
the directors for some time that some-
thing must be done unless the organ
ization is to find itself without funds.
With only $1,000 in the treasury it was
thought by many that it would be
foolish to attempt to give this year a
banquet to the large membership of
$50 out of the treasury fund, for praC-
tically nothing would remain. The
meeting this. evening was to consider
some solution of the difficulty.
After protracted debate it was at
first decided to charge $1.50 a plate for
the banquet. 1t was either that or
raise the membership fee and there
was much opposition to such move
because the board takes great pride in
the fact that all classes, laborers as
well as millionaires, belong, and it
was feared that some of the men of
lesser means might drop out if the rate
were raised.
After it was about decided that the
banquet problem had been settled it
cropped up again on a motion to re-
consider the vote just taken and the
original intention to make a charge of
S1.5O was changed. The members will
ponder on the problem during the next
two weeks, when the subject will again
be UP for discussion at meeting of
the full membership.
The banquet will be held in a month
or so at one of the great hotels in the
city. If the $1.50 a plate plan is tried
and it is found that by charging for the
banquet instead of including the cost
of the feed in the annual membership
fee keeps a great many from attend
ing, the scheme will probably never be
attempted again.
The question of revising the by
laws was' taken up and President A.
j. Bertonneau was authorized to ap-
point a committee for such revision,
the committee to report at the annual
meeting of the full board the result of
its efforts. The committee was not
named this evening.
The meeting itself was the first one
of the total membership in the new
quarters at 43 West Colorado street
Special effort had been made to have
the new furnishings, which have cost
about $500, installed. The rooms pre-
sented a most attractive and club-like
appearance.
