The State Department will now rest
on its oars as far as the Emery case Is
concerned. No arbitrators will be Sc
lected until the four months limit for

Knox believes there will be no necessity
for the appointment Of such arbitrators.
Now that the Emery case has been set,

And interrupted = Railroad Damage Suit
with Damaging Statements.

In the damage suit Of Angelina
Battista against the Third Avenue Rail-
road yesterday before Supreme Court
Justice Brady one Of the witnesses for
the defence was Lucinda Pickett. colored
woman from Yonkers, At the noon recess
counsel for the railroad instructed John
ID. Houghey. an investigator, to take
her out to lunch as she was a stranger
in the city.
She wouldn't go and the two were
talking in the corridor when Abraham
Fry. the tenth juror, overheard them.
The juror told Justice Brady that the
two were discussing the testimony and
Justice Brady had the witness recalled
and questioned further. 1t looked as il
she was changing the testimony and the
juror rose and accused the investigator
OF influencing her.
Lawyer Hilton, for Receiver Whitridge;
defended Houghey and called him to the
stand. Houghey denied having talked
about the testimony. Then the woman .
testimony as originally given was read
and it developed that the woman had
not changed her testimony but that
every one but the stenogTapher had mis-
understood her in the first place. The

That Free OIL Win Aid the Stand ard.
WASHINGTON. May 2e.-Senators who
are interested In the progress Of the
fight by the independent oil producers
to have the duty on crude petroleum and
it's products, which the House struck out
OF the tariff bill, restored in the Senate,
we're discussing two new phases OF the
fiuht to-day. In addition to the letter
of Miss Ida Tarbell. which has been passed
around among the Senators and which
declares that the free crude oil is con-
oession to the Standard Oil Company
the independents have sprung a letter
from Martin A. Knapp. chairman Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, which
makes the same contention that free
oil will benefit the Standard.
The statement was made by a Western
Senator to-day that the United States
Geological Survey had recently oon-
Quoted an investigation into the extent
and resources of the new Mexican oil
field, and that when it was made public
IL would show that the production Of
tent, increased 500 per cent. In 1908 over
1907 and will probably show a greater
percentage Of increase next year.
Another feature Of the report, which
is made by DR.. David 7. Day. chief Of
the Bureau Of Mineral Resources, dis
closes that the Standard OIL Company
has secured control of the Mexican field.
DR.. Day is the petroleum expert Of the
Government. His report was ready to
be published three weeks ago, but the
Government officers decided to hold
II back until after Congress had passed
on the question Of the oil duty. Some
