LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION OF SENATOR BAILEY PROMISES MORE INTEREST THIS WEEK THAN BEFORE.

Austin, Tex, January 2f.-rhe legisla-
 tive investigation of Senator Joseph N. Bailey promises to open lip for it's sec
 ond week tomorrow with considerably
 more attention directed to 1t than in the
 past. This will be due 10 the fact that
 H. Cruel and his son of St Louis, for merly connected with the Waters-Plerce
 oil company, will in all likelihood be the star witnesses before the committee.
 The Gruels arrived here tonight and were closeted at once with the attorney general. The attorney general has nothing
 to do with the present legislative inyesti-
 gation, but the Gruels will be his star witnesses when the antitrust suits come up agains the Waters-Plerce oil company in March and his conference is in all lik- lihood along those lines,
 The Gruels are witnesses before tile legislative investigation. also. and 1t Is announced tonight that they may appear tomorrow. Up to the present time Judge Johnson, the Standard oil company's at- torney, and Judge George B. Clarke, local state attorney for the Waters-Pierece Gil company, are the only two important wit nesses examined, and their testimony de- veloped nothing at all to Senator Bailey's discredit
 It is expected that the opposition will be able to get something on their side out
 of the Cruels, or at least that is what
 they announce they anticipate doing.
 Tonight Chairman ONelll authorized the statement that unless II. Clay Pierce Of the Waters-P Pierce oil company would come to Texas voluntarily to appear be- fore the committee. and avail himself of legislative dispensation from arrest for any reported pending indictments against Mr Pierce in Travis county. which has been promised by the committee that the committee would send two of It's mem bers, one Bailey and one anti i-Baiey com mtteeman, accompanied by q lawyer from both sides and Senator Bailey himself to
 any point in the United States to see Mr. Pierce and get his testimony in the case.

NOROTAN SAYS
 COPPER IS HID OUT
Relates Facts to Attorney Gen.
 eral Bonaparte
USED FOR SHIP BALLAST
It Is Charged that Copper Trust Has Caused an Artificial Scarcity of Metal by Keeping it
 Stored

New York. January 2f.-President James Norot of the Northeastern Dealers as sociation. tonight made public the fol- lowing letter. which he has sent to At- torney General Bonaparte at Washing ton.
 Referring to our telegram to you re- specting the combination of copper in- terests in this country, l beg to lay be- fore you the following facts, which we are prepared to prove: That the cop per trust, SO called, has created an arti- ticial scarcity of copper by storing il in large quantities at Butte. Moni Tough ton. Mich, and other places known 10 our associatoin and refusing to sell II except in small quantities. that there is now stored at Perthamboy 5000 tons of refined copper and that all intending purchasers are told that the supply has been eN- hausted.
 And that there are TOO tons of copper at Hoboken; that seals Were placed on the storehouse there on October r. and have not since been broken. That there are stored in similar manner at Butte 90o0 tons: at Bisbee 5000 tons, and 1900 tons at Cananea and Houghton, Mich. That the steamer Hindustan on October 20 sailed for South Africa with 1000 tons of copper ballast with no orders for it's de- livery III allA poTl Ol Sbulu Aiiiedf anu that the Hindustan returned to the port of New York on or about December %. still carrying the 1000 tons of copper as ballast, and that Captain Ballton, on seeking orders for delivery of the copper received orders the next day to continue the 1000 tons of copper as ballast. The Hindustan sailed subsequently, for n South American port still without orders for delivery of the copper"
 His affidavit reciting the above facts Is inclosed
 We submit that the present danger 10 the trade Is not much the high price of copper as is the fear that the price, being held at an artificial heglht, may be lowered suddenly should the copper combination succeed in selling it's stored up products at the present quotations"
 President Norotan said that he would go to Washington tomorrow or Tuesday and see the President and Attorney General Bonaparte with reference to the matter.

CRUEL STEPMOTHER
 BRANDS CHILDREN
Burns Their Hands Friehtfully Be-
 cause They Made Noise in Play.

New York. January 2I-Two little tots. Nellie. aged years, and Jennie, years vonnger. told Magistrate House in the Harlem police court today how their stepmother. Mrs Kate Cravius, had branded them with a red hot stove litter when in play they had made too much noise.
 Twice during the recital the prisoner a woman of intelligent and pleasing appear ance not more than 20 years old. faint ed When restored the woman admitted that she had burned the children, but said that at the same time she was pos- sessed by an unaccountable mania. The two girls She said, had been play ing with their dolls until the noise and confusion robbed her of her reason and left resistess impulse to punish the little ones Sezing the stove lid litter she pressed the glowing end upon the back of the right hand of each child, causing scars that the little ones will carry to their graves.
 A peculiar feature of the case was the apparent affection for the children felt by the prisoner and the attachment re- turned was repeatedly demonstrated in court for when the prisoner lost con- soiousness the children walled in unf- son. The prisoner was paroled in custody of her counsel pending a further hear ing tomorrow, and the children given In care of the Children's society, which brought the complaint.

DEMOCRATS WARN 79sE
 OKLAHOMA DELEGATES

Washington D. C., January 2.-(Spe- eia1.) 1.)-Representative Lloyd, of Missouri. on behalf of the democrats in congress, in reply to a telegram from delegates to the Oklahoma constitutional eonven- ton, advises them not to insert in tho new constitution Jim Crow provisions, as the president will certainly reject the instrument. In addition he would then be given an opportunity to make state ment which will help him reinstate him- self among the negroes.
 MT. Lloyd said tonight: "'rhe delegates in the convention seem to have an en- tirely erroneous idea regarding the work they were called together to perform. Their business is to prepare a eonstitu- tion not to pass lot of laws. They propose to insert in the constitution pro- visions that clearly come within the prov ince of the new state legislature.
 They have no business dealing in the constitution with Jim Crow and anti corporation propositions. The shorter the constitution the better. The kind of constitution they ought to adopt could be

Satisfactory Assurances.

Satisfactory assurances not having been received that the financial standing of MT. Anson M. Bangs met the require ments of the invitation by direction Of the president he has been rejected as a participant in the bid filed by Messrs Oli- yer and Bangs. The privilege has been extended to Messrs Macarthur and Giles pie the only remaining bidders whose bid has been deemed worthy of consid- eration to either withdraw their pending bid or to allow it bid by the result os MT Ollvers efforts to make good his bid as herein outlined than to be considered upon it's merit.
 "rhe other bids have been rejected be- cause informal and in the case of the highest bid, excessive as well.
 "The foregoing action is taken in con- formity with the expressed wish of both MT. Oliver and the Gillespie syndicate that the contract should be let without a rebidding, and in view of the further statements of the spokesman Of the MacArthur-G ilespie company to the president that If the commission could close the contract with a satisfactory and responsible association of contractors at rate as low. as that proposed by MT.

 formed for the same rate. Substantially similar services are charged different rates"
 Concerning the first defect, the commis- sion says: 'The mere fact that the next higher rate, that for printed matter, is 800 per cent greater than the periodical rate creates an almost irresistible temp taton to give all printed matter the pe- riodical form. Immense quantities of printed matter are put in periodical form for the bald purpose of accomplishing its distribution at the cent-a-pound rate" As a remedy for the disparity between the rates and the cost in connection with transportation of mail, the commission suggests that the practice no longer con- tnues of charging on q losing basis the same rate for wholly dissimilar service. In this connection 1t is suggested that the increment of postage for the incre- ment of weight above the first four ounces should be one-half cent each ad- ditional four ounces.
 The commission, with regard to fiction matter. that the classification which puts complete novel in one class and novel published serially in another class, is a false classification. With regard to news papers the commission maintains that the prime defect in the statute defining wha It constitutes a newspaper is that the pur- pose described Is so broad as to include everything and exclude nothing
 With the exception of few in- stances" it says where the publication has been excluded because it's character was deemed not to bs public. no periodi- cal has ever been classified by the applI- cation of tests of this kind. Any attempt to apply them generally would simply end in press censorship
