PIERCE HAS THREE DEFENSES
TEXAS WANTS OIL MAGNATE ON
CHARGE OF PERJURY,
His Attorney Claims That the Statute
of Limitation Has Run.

Jefferson City, Mo.-H. Clay Pierce
is making three defenses to the
effort of the state of Texas to get him
there to answer to a charge of perjury
in the making of an alleged false affi-
davit to the effect that the Waters
Pierce Oil Co. was not a party to any
agreement in restraint of trade.
Pierce's attorney, ]. D. Johnson of st.
Louis, has sent to the governor a brief
in support of his contention that the
requisition should not be honored.
Johnson, in a telephone conversation
with the governor, said he had three
defenses: That the affidavit was made
in 1901, and on its face showed the
statute of limitations had run; that
the grand jury when it returned the in
dictment had only the affidavit before
it and heard no witnesses; that Pierce
did not read the affidavit before sign
ing it, but merely signed it after he
had been written by his attorney.
Under the laws of Texas, the making
of a false affidavit is a felony, while
in Missouri it is only a misdemeanor.
The hearing before the governor on
th1 requisition was set for Thursday.
johnson will not appear in person be-
fore the governor, but will rest on the
brief he has sent. Attorney General
Hadley will act in an advisory capacity
to the governor.

IDENT BY SECRETARY ROOT.
Brings Greetings From King Edward,
Receiving Presidents Well
Wishes in Return.

sador from England, was formally pre-
scented to President Roosevelt by Sec.
rotary Root.
Ambassador Bryce made a short adj
dress regarding his appointment, in
which he said King Edward wanted
the present cordial relations between
England and the United States
strengthened.
Mr.. sryce's Repsarks.
Said Mr.. Bryce: W
mo one can be more sensible than
l am of the responsibility which such
a commission imposes, and however
unequal to SO great a task l may feel
myself to be, it shall be my constant
effort to discharge it in the spirit
which his majesty indicated to me,
and in which my three last predeces-
sors, all distinguished men, and true
friends to the United States, sought to
fulfill their duties.
ut has been my good fortune to
have been frequently in this country
as a private traveller and student of
its institutions, to have been received
in 1t with unfailing kindness, and to
have learned not only to admire the
untiring energy and the intellectual ar
dor of it's inhabitants, but also to ap-
preciate their devotion to the cause of
moral and social progress, and their
passionate desire to make the lives Of
the people worthy of the material
blessings which providence has be.
slowed with SO bountiful a hand.
Il may perhaps be permitted to add
that, in expressing my sincere respect
for you personally, I am expressing
the sentiments of my sovereign and of
his subjects generally"
The Presidents Reply.
The president responed as follows:
The excellent relations which have
so long existed between the govern
ments of the United States and of
Great Britain offer a conspicuous as
surance that in the fulfillment of the
important missions with which you
are charged, you will find agreeable
the task of contributing to the main
tenance and Strengthening of these re-
lations. The responsibility which
rests upon you in this regard rests no
less upon the officers of this govern
ment with whom you Will have inter.
course.
The aims of the Anglo-Saxon race,
wherever established throughout the
world, are akin to the furtherance of
h great principle of representative
government, and of that community of
material interests whereby the most
complete stability, individual develop
ment and national prosperity may be
achieved. In coming among us you but
transfer your life work to new fields of
practical opportunities like those for
which you have labored earnestly and
honorably through a useful lifetime.
and trust the continuance of your eff.
forts in the mission to which you are
called will be as c~ongenial to you as
they are acceptable to us.
For yourself, I beg you to convey
to your honored sovereign my cordial
wishes for your personal welfare. and
for the prosperity of his country and
people"

Observation-Disclosures Nicaragua and
Honduras speedily agree to arbitrate

suggestion of the United States and
Mexico, it is not improbable that in
