STANDARD OIL WILL FIGHT
Rockefeller Corporations VIII Ask
for R~ehearing In Missouri
state Custer Case.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. fS.-That the at
torneys Of the Standard Oil company will
apply to the supreme court of Missouri for
a rehearing of the states custer suit
against the company, recently decided ad-
versely to the company, was indicated by
statements made by them today. A motion
for a rehearing must be filed not later h
next Saturday. Alfred d. Eddy OF Chi
cago, general attorney for the Standard Oil
company, and Frank Hagerman, local at
torney for the company, were In conference
today outlining a plan OF procedure. Mr..
EDDY returned to Chicago tC0ight.
1t is said that the custer order OF the su-
preme court annoys the company's at
~torneys much more than the fines imposed.
and that a much larger fine, without the
custer order, would have been much more
satisfactory TO the company. The company
owns a valuable refining plant at Sugar
Creek, near this city.
IT do not believe Mr.. Hagerman said
today, that after having encouraged the
company TO invest a great amount OF
money in this refinery the state can throw
us out without ceremony and take our
property away from us"
