OIL OCTOPUS
AND TENTACLE
TO DODGE AK
WATERS-PIERcE co. CLINGS
TO STANDARD
WILL PLEAD TO POSTPONE SEP
ARATIoN4 FROM TRUST
Report in St. Louis Is $4,000 Fine
Will Not Be contested-Hard
Death Struggle Ex-
'. pested
IBy Associated Press.1

~ r. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-That the Wa
~ ters-Pierce Oil company Of Mis-
souri, will on Monday ask the su-
preme court of this state for a further
stay OF execution of that portion Of the
recent decree against it requiring it
TO loose itself from the domination of
the Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey was the intimation emanating
from the offices of the local concern to-
day
The fine of $4,000 which was assessed
against the Waters-Pierce company
probably will not be contested. the at
torneys for the company saying thew
see no recourse from this portion of
the penalty.
Inc Waters-Pierce company did not
join with the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and the Republic Oil Company
Of Ohio in the proposition recently
made to the supreme court by which
the state would gain direct voice in
the management of the interests of
thOSe corporations in Missouri
Fart Oh the proposition was that the
6O per cent of the Waters Pierce stock
held by the Standard should be placed
IN the hands of trustees to be appro
prlated by the state and companies
Jointly.
This, the Waters-Pierce management
asserts, would result in preventing the
Missouri corporation from severing it
self from the foreign cOmpany's control.
ana, they say, would only strengthen
the position of the Standard in the
state.
Common Prediction
It is predicted unofficiaIIy that the
Waters-Pie company will ask the
court to declare the holding of its stock
py the standard interests illegal OH the
ground that such holding cOntraVeneS
the principle laid down by the federaf
supreme court in the Northern Secu-
rifles case.
If this attitude is adopted, one of
the greatest legal battles between. the
corporations in the history of the coun-
try may follow.
The Northern Securities decision is
relied upon by the government in its
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, which is to come
up for argument in the federal court
here next month
The probable attitude of the Waters
Pierce company in the Missouri case
was intimated after conferences today
between H. c. Pierce, head of the
company, and it's attorneys.
The Waters-Pierce company must
make a showing of its attempts to
comply with the Missouri custer decree
on Monday next.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the company, to be held
Tuesday, probably will be made for ar
gument for an extension of time.
The uneXpressed hope Of the attor-
neys for the Waters-Pierce interests
that the extension, If granted, will place
final adjudication of the case beyond
the decision of the federal court in the
dissolution suit so that any favorable
circumstances arising from the big
case may rebound to the fullest pos
sible advantage Of the Missouri COM
pany.

sometimes said that every American

, That many American women might
be as worthy Of high station as the
queens Of history is proved by the
work that has been accomplished and
the high recognition won by women
among us who had not the prestige of
royalty nor armies and nayies To
carry out their will nor court and
courtiers to demand Of them nobility
and high deeds. or course the great
example of what women, single
handed and alone. can accomplish is
in the work of Mary Baker Eddy. the
