Mr.. Pierce spoke Utterly of the fin

by the state of Texas to the amount OF
81, $50, 600
My company paid this fine, . said
Mr.. Pierce, expecting that its proper
ty would be returned. Instead of this
the state of Texas has confscated the
property of the Waters Pierce Oil
company and receiver has been or
dered appointed preparatory to the:
sale of the property.
'sAn incident like this and others
that have taken place recently do more
to retard the investment of European
capital in American securities than
any panic or ordinary depression in

The Waters Pierce Oil company
did business under the Federal laws

Texas, Europeans gre are as rule

without any redress on the part OF the

Mr.. Pierce declined to- discuss the
possibility of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company buying in its property, but it
was inferred from what he said that a
long litigation will ensue. He also
spoke of the law in Texas which pro
vides for part of the fine in cases
like that of the Waters Pierce Oil com
pany going to the prosecutors.
Texas" he said, holds our prop
erty by might rather than right. We
paid that fine, and that ought to re-
lease us and give us back our prop
erty
Il am going to Texas next week
