BUSINESS, NOT SPITE
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN RAIL-
 WAY ISSUES STATEMENT.
Tells Why His Corporation Has Stopped Construction work and Reduced the Force of Men in Hts
 Shops.

Washington, Sept. 24.-President Finley of the Southern Railway today issued a statement as to the reasons for the recent stoppage of construction work and reductions in shop forces. in which he said.
 'Tn some quarters 1t has, been repre- scented that work has been stopped and forces reduced as a measure of retail iation against adverse state Legislation. In no case has this been true. This company has not been governed. in any case. by any but sound business considerations. such as, must govern a railway as well as every business en- terprise.
 Current railway income is insufi- cient to provide funds necessary for extensive improvements and better ments. These can only be provided for. now as in the past. by obtaining new capital. Present financial condi- tions and the present attitude of in- vestors toward railroad securities are such that 1t is impossible for the mo- ment to sell railroad securities on a basis that any business ,concern man aged in accordance with sound business principles, would be justified in &C., cepting.
 Tt has, therefore, been necessary to postpone many important projects for improvements. Only those will be pushed to completion at this time on which work has progressed so far that the public and the rsilway can receive the benefit of their completion at an early date. Other projects have not been abandoned, but will be carried out just as soon as conditions are such that the necessary capital can be secured

HAMPTON ON STAND
GENERAL AUDITOR OF STANDARD
 OIL COMPANY TEsTIFTEs.
Mir. Ha1hpf0n's Evidence Showed that the standard AnnnaIiy Audited the Books of Watera-Pierce
 Oil Company.

New York. Sept. 24.--Accountants for the Standard oil Company annually audited the books of the Waters-Pierce oil Company Of Missouri, after 1900. when it's name disappeared from the list of companies controlled by the Standard. according to Wade Hampton ton, General Auditor of the Standard oil Company. who testified today in the Governments suit against the oil combine.
 In 1900 the Waters-Pierce oil Con& pany was prohibited from doing busi- ness in Texas because of its relations with the Standard. The Waters Pierce Company was reorganixed and tine stock held by the Standard was sold. Testimony has previously been adduced that Charles Pratt, Secretary of the Standard. bought the stock and held 1t in Standards interest. Mir. Hampton testified today that he had sent each year accountants to the Wa ters-Pierce oil Company to audit the books at the Tequest ef the ericers of the company.
 The troubles of the oil firm of Lom- bard & Ayres. in the early 7os. was an Interesting feature of the day,s had great difficulties in obtaining oars to ship oil and that his company felt the difficulty of competing with tho Standard. which. he said. was receiving rebates from the trunk lines. He had two conferences with A. ] Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was told that the rebates which were given the Standard did not amount to much. MT. Cassatt, the witness said, suggest. ed that his difficulties would doubtless cease if he united the Lombard Com. pany with the Standard.
 Mr. Lombard testified that he had a conference with Col. Thomas Scott, vice-President of the Pennsylvania. in which he was told that the Lombard Company was getting all the tank cars it could obtain under the allotment Colonel Scott. according to the witt ness. said the Pennsylvania Railroad would not haul tank cars built by the Lombard Company. Colonel Scott also expressed the opinion that the Lom. bard & Ayres Company would do well to unite with the Standard

 --s~-- Governor is Asked Not to Call it, in View of "pisastrous Conditions that May Follow Additional
 LegisIation..
 

An extra session will be detrimental to the commercial and industrial inter- ests of Alabama; please do not call It. is the sense of resolution unani- mously adopted by the directorate of the Commercial Club of Montgomery ! last night to be transmitted to Cow ernor Conner.
 The resolution, the offering of which was followed by several speeches ad- vocating It's adoption. was offered by F. s. Ball. and the motion for it's adoption was made by F. P. Glass.
 copy of 1t will be circulated by officers of the club for subscription by members of the organization and by other citizens of Montgomerxa
 Following is a copy of thSS resolu- ton:
 Be it resolved by the Board of Di- rectors of the Commercial Club of Montgomery Ala.
 That it Is the firm conviction of the Board that the holding of a special session of the Legislature in the near future will be so detrimental to the commercial and industrial interests and the general welfare Of the State, that 1t regrets that the Governor of the State Is considering the calling of such session, and respectfully and
 
 view of the disastrous conditions which may follow from additional legisla- tion. to decide not to call an extra session at this time''
 Those present when the resolution was adopted were A. e. Forbes Presi- dent: F. P. Glass. F. P. Chaf4ee and Alex Rices Presidents; F. s. Ball, w. B. Davidson. J O. Haas. George W Jones, F. c. Stevenson. George A. Thomas and John T. Walker, Directors. sls here was neither disssntfnE voice nor dissenting vote. Mir. Ball, author of the resolution, advocated 1t briefly but strongly and Mfr. Glass who moved it's adoption, said 8 few words In its favor.
 They were followed by the other members of the directorate, who said that they feared the results of another session. and believed that 1t would work irremediable disaster upon the business of Alabama. The words of every director present were few but forcible and unequivocal. and all ex- pressed the opposition to special ses- sion
 The proposition that the resolution should be drafted. as petition and generally subscribed by citizens of Montgomery, irrespectively of their membership in the Commercial Club, met with immediate favor and was unanimously adopted. Every possible effort to convey to the Governor the opposition of the representatives of the commercial and industrial inter- ests of Montgomery and Alabama to new legislation will be made by the directors who will ask the co-opera- tJon of avery citizen of Montgomery.

DENIES CANDIDACY
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST
 MAKES PUBLIC STATEMENT.
Famous JournaIist says He Is We'll sat- isfied as a Private Citizen and WllI Not Run For
 President

New York. Sept. 24--In an interview published here William Randolph Hearst takes occasion to deny that he is candidate for the presidency.
 He says. T am not candidate for the presidency on the independent league ticket. and I cannot conceive of any conditions under which I would be willing to become a candidate."
 'vThe determination" he adds. Ifs not because of any feeling of pique or disappointment at the result of the late election.
 T am we'll satisfied to be a private citizen and to labor through the league, and through the election for others to promote the principles I believe in. l dislike particularly being placed in a position where the sincerity of my prin- cipIes can be questioned through cam paigning for some office that I do not want. and that would only consent to hold through sense of public duty, as I would serve on 8 jury"
