Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission today
began the hearing of applications
from various railroads for an extern
sion of time in regard to the putting
into effect of the so-called nine-hour
law. This law, which was enacted by
the last session of congress and is to
come into operation next Wednesday,
limits the hours of service of all class
es of train operatives, particularly 10
connective engineers and firemen, rail
way telegraphers, towermen and sig
nalmen, to nine hours per day. Some
of the leading roads have already ar
ranged to meet the requirements of
the law, while others require an ex-
tension of time for various reasons.
1t is expected that the commission
will grant an extension of time to
those roads supporting their request
with good reasons.

A FINAL VICTORY IS WON
Against Oil octopus-supreme Court
Declines to Grant Applications
For Writs of Error.

Austin, Texas, SFeb. 26.-Attorney
General Davidson achieved another
great victory today. The supreme
court refused the application of the
Waters Pierce Oil company for writ
of error in both the receivership case
and the custer and penalty. case, thus
ending the litigation of the state
against the corporation, SO far as the
state courts are concerned The high
tribunal did not render an opinion in
the premises, as it never does in re-
fusing writ of error.
AS mere formality the corporation
will ask for rehearing to perfect the
record preparatory to taking the case
to the supreme court of the United
States.
The action of the court today means
that the able opinions of the Third
court of appeals are affirmed in toto
and that its findings are proper, to-
gether with the trial in the district
court, including the verdict of the jury
BUSTING the concern from Texas, and
assessing penalty against it amount
ing to s1,6O0,0O0 Also that the re-
entry of the Waters Pierce Oil COM
pany into Texas in 1900 was accom-
plished through fraud and deception
In fact, the action of the supreme
court today sustains every contention
and allegation made by Attorney Gen.
eral Davidson when he instituted suit
against this branch of the Standard
Oil company to drive it from the bor-
ders of Texas.
The appointment of State Receiver
Robert Eckhardt to take charge of the
property and business of this corpora
ton is regarded as proper and legal.
The news of the courts action
spread through the state house like
wild fire, and state officials and clerks |
began to flock into the office of Attor-
ney General Davidson to congratulate |
him and for thirty minutes his depart |
ment was filled with visitors, each |
eager to grasp his hand. The attor-
ney general took the victory with be.
coming modesty, such as has marked |
his official career, and while he ex-
pressed himself as being pleased with
the courts action he would not say
anything for publication.
Just as soon as Governor Campbell
heard the news he called Judge Da-
wilson up over the phone and warmly
congratulated him.
