competitors, the gathering of infor-

for Special E2an!Tec Fe;r ris here

tional Refining company, testifying
for the government, said he was an

ted that while at Columbus, infor-
nation was given him by man
named Taylor, employed by the
Pennsylvania railway company, re-

rivals. He said he was informed of
ali oil haaGleu in hIa territory and
used the information for the purpose
of tracing the customers of competi-

up for the company Cooke said he
never offered to cut prices for their
trade, but used regular methods
with success, saying his oil was bet
ter and could be obtained easier.
Cooke testified that he received
as much credit for reporting the
names of the rivals as he received
for sales of the Standard. While in
Indianapolis, he said, reports were
handed him by boy regarding the
shipments of rivals in and out of

THEY WILL Be BUSY


Washington, March 13.-There is
apparently not much ambition among
members OF the Texas delegation in
the house to go to the national dem
ocratic convention. The question,
Are you or will you become a can
didate for delegate to the DenveG
convention?" was put to every one
of them yesterday afternoon, except
Mr.. Randell who is i'll, and without
dissenting voice they responded
with a negative.
In most cases the NO was posit-
i've, emphatic, even vehement, but by
some it was uttered in a way that
suggested reluctance.
Most of the gentlemen contented
themselves with the mere declara-
ton that they are not and will not
be candidates. but some of them, in
response"rto an invitation, gave the
reasons of this decision.
