PIERCE MUST GO
Must Return to Texas to Face an
Indictment

st. Louis, Oct. 20-H. Clay Pierce,
chairman of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company. whose court fight to prevent
extradition to Texas on q charge OF
violation of the anti trust laws Of that
state, was lost in the supreme court
OF the United States today, is in New
York. The case against Mr.. Pierce
comes from Travis county. Texas. The
offense of which he is accused is pun
ishable by term Of from two to five
years in the penitentiary. Judge
Shepard Barclay, who represents
Texas in tho case, said:
"The decision leaves Mr.. Pierce
without further recourse. He will
have to surrender and be taken to
Texas or go there voluntarily. to
stand trial"
The Indictment returned November
I, 1906 by the Travis county grand
jury against Mr.. Pierce, charged spe-
ctfcally that he had made an affidavit
May 80, 1900, in which he swore among
other things, that "the Waters Pierce
company was not then a party to any
agreement or understanding with the
Standard OIL company, or any other
corporation to regulate or fix the price
Of any article Of manufacture and was
not then q party to any agreement to
limit the amount or supply or quanti-
ty of any article Of manufacture"
In deciding against Mr.. Pierce,
Judge Adams Of the United States
circuit court OF appeals. from which
tribunal the case was taken to Wash
ington, declared that ''technicalities
must not be permitted to stand
against. an indictment when 1t con-
tains the substance Of a charge"
In the custer suit brought by Mis-
souri,, through Attorney General Had
ley, against the Standard Oil COM
pany. 1t was shown that that COM
pany owned two-thirds OF the stock Of
the Waters-Pierce Oil company.

Hunters Responsible.

Philadelphia. Oct. 20.-From neArly
every mountainous section Of Penn
sylvania come reportes Of forest and
brush fires, the flames in some in
stances endangering villages that; are
surrounded by woodlands. Most of
these fires are believed to have been
started by hunters who have thronged
the woods since the rabbit season op-
pened on October Is. The prevailing
drought has dried out leaves and
branches of the trees and made them
fine fuel for the flames when famed
by strong wind.

At Newark he gave! attention to all the
Issues save labor. In his Elizabeth

endorsement Of the combination Of

The combination Of capital is Just

combination Of the parts of machine,
and the fact that the capital is great
and the number OF plants needed are
many 10 no reason for denouncing
them 90 Illegal unless they are used
for an illegal purpose. The normal,

to reduce the cost OF production by in
ducing economy in the management
OF the capital. It is only when undue
means are taken to stifle competition
that they cross the line Of legality
and that they ought to be restrained
and punished. Therefore. Mr.. Roose-
velt and the Republican administra-
ton have directed their attention to
prosecuting the exact evil which is
the attempt to monopolize. Mr.. Bryan,
on the other hand, proposes to take
steps which shall destroy the entire
business. He proposes that we shall
abolish the tariff on what are called
trust-made articles. II you are going

Judge Gary. like Charles NJ. Schwab.
who appeared before the committee
on Tuesday, was an admirable witness,
giving much information and submit
ting TO a severe DISCRIMINATION. His
testimony IN substance showed that
the tariff is needed more as a protec-
ton for the Independent steel manu-
facturers than for the Steel corpora
ton. Like Mr.. Schwab. Judge Gary de
clared that the reduction Of the duty
on certain steel products would com
pei the steel companies to reduce the
cost of labor.
He said that the competitors OF the
Steel corporation needed protection,

of the formal opening OF Washington's
official social season, when President
Roosevelt sits down to dine as the
guest of his Official subordinate.
1t has been suggested frequently OF
late that the relations OF the two men
have been strained, owing in part to
the recent denunciation by the rresi'
dent of Delavan Smith, publisher OF
the Indianapolis News. The latter.
who is related to Mr. Fairbanks. be-
came involved in the Panama middle
