STANDARD OIL
TAKES NEW TACK
Makes Proposition to Supreme
Court of Missouri to
Avoid Being 0uSted.
STATE POWER RECOGNIZED
ATTORNEY GENERAL is CON-
PLETELY TAKEN BY SURPRISE.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. Attorney
General Major had not decided this
morning whether he would recommend
to the supreme court of the state the
acceptance of the novel proposition
which the Standard Oil company,
through its attorney, filed with that
tribunal today. The proposed procedure
is said to be without precedent, and
state officers are puzzled by it.
The suggestions to the court COM
prise $4,000 words of matter, the prin-
cipal point being the proposal that in
lieu OF the custer decision against the
Company a new Missouri corporation be
formed to succeed TO the business of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana in
this state The stock of the new COM
pany, less enough shares for the quail
fication of directors, is to be issued to
two trustees. one named by the state
and the other by the company, but
both approved by the supreme court.
These trustees are to act as officers of
the court. and as such vote and control
the stock of the new company. The
stock Of the Waters-Pierce Oil compa-
ny, now owned by the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, is to be turned
over to the new company also.
Nothing is said as to the remission of
the $50 600 in fines against the cOmpa-
MES. and the supposition is that they
are willing to pay these without fur
Their controversy.
The announced intention of the COM
pany is to preserve the big Sugar Creek
refinery near Kansas City.

his recent advocacy Of strenuous meas
ures to conserve our mineral resources
and regulate the affairs of mining with
a view TO increased production along with
more economical methods and practices,
