PETITION FOR A REnEARIN6
SUPREME COURT ASKED TO RE-
OPEN OIL CASES.
Texas Fine Held to Be Excessive and
to Deprive Company OF Its
Property.

In behalf of the Waters-Pieree Oil Com
pany. John c. Spooner has filed in the
Supreme Court of the United States
petition for a rehearing OF the various
cases brought by the state OF Iexas
against that company and which were
recently decided against it. These in
clude the cases involving the appointment
one ousting the company from the state
and imposing a fine OF 1.549. 800 for viola
lions Of the Texas antitrust laws.
The principal reason for the petition Is
that the fine was so excessive as to de-
prive the oil company of It's property
without due process of law. In support
of this contention attention is called TO
the fact that in the record of the case it
was claimed that the oil company was
making as high as 700 per cent on its
capital, but it Is set forth that while this
might be true with reference to the
$4UUO0 of capital stock, 1t was not true
with reference to the $40 0U.OOO of the
assets of the company. Much stress is
laid upon the fact that large portion of
the fine was based upon the Texas anti
trust law of 1899, imposing a penalty of
81 500 a day, after that law had been
repealed.
I'VE, therefore. submit says the petit
ton, that it is little short of confisca
ton for the state to have neglected to
enforce the act of 1899 for seven years,
and after that act had been repealed and
the amount of penalty reduced to $50
per day, to insist upon verdict for 81 800
per day for 1.OS3 days"

SHELLS TO SEED BEDS.
Ship Loads Taken From Oyste,
Wharf for Use on Potomac.

Oyster shells which have accumulated
at the 18th street wharf oyster market
during the past oyster season are being
used in large quantities by the owners
of private oyster beds on the James river
and lower Chesapeake bay to seed the
worn out beds and make them produc-
tive of marketable oysters once again.
The big two-masted bay schooner Will
liam II. Meekins and the schooner aPirson
are lying at the 18th street wharf taking
aboard several thousand bushels of the
shells for Suffolk. Va. on the Nanse-
mond river. These shells will be spread
in a layer about two feet thick over an
overworked bed. In three or four years
from now fine oysters, several inches
long and commanding a good price in the
market, will be found clinging to the old
shells.
The oyster spat, the minute organism
from which the oyster grows. floats about
in oyster producing waters and needs
hard substances to attach to. Once at
tached 1t clings and becomes an oyster of
edible size in few years. The cargo the
Meekins is taking aboard is the third that
has left this city for bay points recently.
