tack that Tucker had made on some
prominent Republicans. Robertson
however claimed that the threat of
custer came after the formation of
the Kansas company, that the latter
was organized for the purpose of
evading a heavy charter fee and that
it might be sued and sue in the state
courts
ID. w. Mulvane Brought In.
Robertson told of going to Wash
ington with Tucker ana D. W. Null
vane, Republican national committee
man of Kansas to appear before
Judge Goodwin of the postoffice de-
partment, to prevent a fraud order
being issued against the Uncle Sam
company.
"On the way back testified
Robertson, Tucker asked me what I
thought would be a fair price for
Mulvane's services as the fraud order
thing from $500 to $4,000. He told
he that he had paid him $4,000 and
said he had made good investment. -
Little Oil Shipped.
The railroad agents of the COM
panles entering Cherryvale testified to
the small amount of oil shipped out
Of that point by the Uncle Sam COM
pany tending to show that statements
about the heavy production of the oil
wells on the company's properties
was without basis. L. C. Hussey,
state oil inspector, stated that from
August, 1905 to March, 1906 only 49,
24S barrels of refined oil from the
refineries of the company had been
inspected by his department averag-
ing something more than 1000 bar
rels per month, which was consider
ably less than the amount given in
the advertisements circulated by
Tucker.
J. A. Stricken. of Cherryvale, an
oil and gas man, claimed that he had
no knowledge that the pipe line of
the company had ever been used for
the transportation of oil as far as he
knew. That it had been used a few
times for the transportation of gas
for short distance to the Cherry
vale refinery. He stated that the oil,
great percentage Of it, secured
from the Publishers company lease
was heavy and unfit for refining pur-
poses. He claimed that not one we'll
on the lease gave ten barrels per
day.
H. G. James, of the Independence
Kansas. Reporter, stated that Tucker
had published a statement that a GER
tain oil we'll on lot number 43 In the
Indian Territory was producing 1,5OC
barrels per day but that Tucker told
him confidentially that it was not pro-
ducing more than $50. He also stated
that Tucker asked his advice about
the capitalization of the Uncle Sam
company, suggesting 100000. James
thought this extravagant and recon-
mended not to exceed two or three
million. Tucker however couldn't see
the advisability of such a small capital
ization.
C. W. Van De Mark of Clyde, Kan
sas, who had. purchased 5000 shares OF
the company at cents and later SOC
shares at 20 cents per share, told the
usual story of how he had been led to
believe no bonds would be issued and
later that this promise had been
broken. When he wrote to Tucker Van
De Mark failed to secure satisfactory
explanation.
