filming Company, which was all but six
shares of the company's entire stock
issue. Mr.. Kellogg then asked Mr..
Pratt to produce statements showing
the officers and directors of the Stand.
ard Oil Company. and of all its sub
sidiary companies, together with the
officers and directors of all companies
In which the Standard Oil Company
had a stock interest. Mr.. Kellogg also
asked for a statement of capitalizations

Mr.. Pratt, referring to his duties in
the Standard Oil Company, said that
he was an officer of the Standard Oil
Company of Kentucky, whose principal
business was the distribution of oil
south of the Ohio River. He said the
Kentucky company obtained its oil
chiefly from the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana.
Mr.. Kellogg questioned the witness
at some length about the c. M. Pratt
Investment Company, the stock of
which was shown to be held by the
Standard Company. He said the Pratt
company represented the stock of the
Waters-Pierc Oil Company, of Texas,
which he was holding for the Standard
Oil Company. Mr.. Kellogg developed
the information hat the G. M. Pratt
Investment Company came into exist
ence at the time the Waters-Plerce OIL
Company was having difficulties with
the State of Texas.
Mr.. kellogg asked if it was not a
fact that the Standard Company and
it's subsidiary concerns were governed
by committets. Mr.. Pratt said he did
not think SO. though in the eNly days
OF the trustseship of the company it
YVES likely that the company was con-
trolled by committees.
Mr.. Kellogg asked what records were
kept by the trustees showing the man.

of the ii luiddting trustees Of the

NO CONVENTION
HALL FOR NE. A.
Committee Fails to Fine Structure
That viii Accommodate Num-
ber of Visiting Pedagogues
Now Expected

A convention hall seating 1000; visitors
numbering from 10000 to $4,000. Such
is the problem confronting the com
mittee providing for the entertainment
of the N. E. A. convention visitors.
That not all the pedagogues will be
able to crowd into the big Temple
auditorium goes without saying. The
question now before the committee is
what to do with the overflow meeting
that will outnumber those who succeed
in getting into the conventions by at
least five to one.
The committee is desirous of starting
out the convention week in way that
will make the visitors feel at horne
and accordingly Central park has been
secured for Monday night, July 8, where
those who cannot get into the Aud
itorium will be shown California hos
pitallty.
The park will be roped off to Keep
out the natives that the visitors may
have room. Benches will be placed all
over the Sixth street plot, and in the
band stand the best band in the west
will be placed to delight the visitors
with sweet music. Other attractions
will be provided to entertain the
strangers and they will be fed on
lemonade and oranges. 1t Is expected
that the downtown park will be one OF
the most delightful features of the big
convention.

WOMAN IN ROLE
OF ENOCH ARDEN
DEMANDS AND WILL GET HER
HUSBAND
Feminine Lltigants FIJI Court Rooms.
Widow Sues Her Step-Daughter.
The IdeIIa Dotter Trial
Continues

Yesterday was decidedly the day of
the woman at the county court house.
Most of the trials and troubles of a
woman's life were represented by the
suits filed in the courts, while in every
department one or more women were
battling for their rights, taking the law
with them and fighting against the
other sex and in most cases winning.
The peculiar case of the feminine
Enoch Arden came to light in the suit
filed by Mrs. Henrietta S. Adams
against E. H. Adams in which she
asked an annulment of marriage on
the ground that after living with her
husband for more than eight years she
discovered there was another wife liV-
ing and all her happiness was destroyed
in the knowledge that she was not le-
gally married to the man with whom
she lived.
From the complaint filed by Mrs.
Adams with the county clerk, she mar
ried Adams early in 1898 in Los An
geles and continued to live with him
until recently she learned that there
was another woman in the case
Claims Her Husband
But this feminine Enoch Arden was
very real erson and did not look in
| at the window and theri draw off and
leave the family in peace and Happiness.
1t was different with a woman. What
! she claimed she claimed for her own
and both husband and life learned that
the first wife was alive and we'll and
wanted to be cared for.
So that now after living as man and
wife for the past eight ears, the cou-
pie must separate. Mrs. Adams will
| have to appear in court and divorce her
self from the man she loves and from
one whom she bears no malice.
The iron clad rule will compel her to
give him up to the other W. nan in the
case, to the woman to whom he really
belongs and he will have to pass out of
his second wifes life more completely
than if he were dead and Suried
Other Women Lltigants
A second case filed yesterday was the
suit of second wife, left widow
against her step-daughter for recovery
of money. The plaintiff, Mrs. Allen j.
Boyer, widow of John Boyer, alleged by
suit that just prior to the death of her
husband a year ago save to his
daughter by his first marriage $500. and
she asks the court to return that gift
to the estate.
Mrs. Boyer alleges that at the time
her husband made the gift he was suf.
fering with a stroke of paralysis and
did not know what he as doing.
In department two Miss Idella DotteI
took up her fight against the rest OF
her relations and in most every de-
partment of the court the contest be-
tween women could be heard, while
scores of the feminine litisants' friends
chatted about the corridors.

BARRING OF VAoUERos
CAUSES STORMS OF
PROTEST FROM CITIZENS

Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
yesterday, in defense Of his action in
ruling out the vaqueros and cowboys
from the floral parade, stated that he
did so because the parade was to be
essentially a floral parade and that he
thought that the cowboys would appear
out of place in it.
Such storm of public sentiment,
however, has beeen created against the
ruling that the vaqueros may yet be
granted a position in the lists and the
most notable feature Of the day saved
to Los Angeles.
At any rate, the vaqueros will pre-
sent great free barbecue and exhibi-
ton of horsemanship at the Fiesta park
following the parade.

Blanchard last night in speaking Of the
enthusiasm with which the floral deco

Mr.. Blanchard has called another
meeting of his committee for Friday

final triumphant conclusion.
