PIERCE INDICTED AGAIN
GRAND JURY OF TRAVIS COUN
TY RETURNS BILL AGAINST
HEAD or WATERS-PlERCE.

Austin. Texas, April l2.-Thc IRA.
Wis county grand jury has returned
a now indictment against Henry Clay
Pierce i'm connection with his al.
legged violation of the law in obtain
ing rcadmission to Texas of the Wa.
tcrs.Picrco oil company. The new
Indictment charges false swearing
and perjury as the oncnscs Of which
MIR. Pierce was guilty when he cXc-
cutcd the antitrust affidavit that
procured his company another permit
to operate I'm Texas. It also specifies
that inasmuch as tho alleged offender
has been a fugitive from Justice
since the first Indictment was re-
turned by the grand jury, the statute
of limitations does not run I'm his
favor. The new indictment also cor
reefs a typographical error in the
name of the notary public before
whom Mr.. Pierce executed the anti
trust affidavit. The notary's name is
Nauo VI. NaElc. The original in
dictmcnt gave the name as Nano II.
Maggie. The purpose Of the double
charge brought in against Mr.. Pierce
is to insure conviction i'm the event
the court should hold that the AMI
dayit executed by him was required
by law or was not required by law.
If the court should hold that the af-
fidayit was required by law, the Of.
Tense would be perjury, and Mr..
Pierce could be convicted on that
charge. Should the court hold that
the affidavit was not required by
law the offense was merely the IKE
cution Of n false affidavit and Mr..
Pierce could be convicted OF the
charge of false swearing.
Mr.. Pierce returned to Texas re-
Gently and prepared for trial Of tho
charge IN the original indictment.
The case will be set during the May
term of court. Whether or not the
now indictment will ucccssitate a
new process Of e~Xtradition is a
question that has not yet confronted
the state. It is probable, however,
that Mr.. Picrcc's disposition to stand
trial voluntarily, which he eyinced
by returning 10 Texas on his own
volltlon after the supreme court had
decided his case against him, VIII
undergo no change because Of the
new indictment, and that he will be
here next month TO stand trial.

GOVERNOR WILSON FAvORS
A DIRECT PRIMARY LAW

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 27.-Gover-
nor Augustus E. Wilson, of Ken
lucky, in letter to the Citizens
Union of New York City, which is
securing expressions of opinion re-
garding direct nominations, points out
what he considers advantages of the
direct primary law such as is recon-
mended by Governor Hughes in his
annual message.
Governor Wilson says in his letter
that direct nominations "afford an
opportunity for the people to declare
their wishes, and | think a direct ex-
preston is better than an indirect
one through representatives where it
is practicable, and it is, of course,
practicable in the nomination of can
didates.

can be elected at primaries, but it is

TAFT SAYS HE
4 IS M|SQUOTED
Hey York Papers Mlslnterpret Tariff
VieWS-He Wants Quick
Revision.

New York, Feb. 27.-President-elece
Taft made vigorous protest against
what he said was an absolute mis-
representation in certain New York
newspapers as to what he had said I'm
arguing questions regarding tarin Te-
vision.
He had stated, he said, that the
present business depression was I'M
doubtedly due in a large measure To-
the fact that the tariff is to be re-
,vised at an extra session of congress
to meet March Is; that it was OF tina
hlgnest Importance Lnat this work or
revision should not be delayed, but
executed with all diligence.
Mr.. Taft also said he favored the
idea OF permanent tariff commits
sion, the plan for which should be-
worked out with elaboration, the du-
ties of such commission to be to-
make careful study of the operation.
Of the proposed new tariff law, to the
end that suggestions might be mada
in the future which would tend to-
place the whole question of the tariff
on more certain and scientific basis.
Upon this statement Mr.. Taft was
made to say that the present tariR
schedules were responsible for the
present business depression, and that
when they were revised their own
parents would not know them. all OF
which was amplified at length and
made positive by appearing to be a
vigorous and enthusiastic statement
Mr.. Taft was particularly perturbed
over what he called a misrepresenta-
ton, particularly in view Of the
weight which is now given his words
because of his official position. He
had, he declared, changed his posi-
ton in no way, and held the same
views he had publicly announced dur
ing and since the campaign.
The subject Of the tariff came up
because of a call on Mr. Taft by J..
w. Van Cleave, president of the Ma
tional Manufacturers association, I'm
which the subject of tariff commits
sion was mentioned.

81 do not say that it permits of the
nomination of a candidate who has a

convention does. Again and again
conventions nominate men who are
not the choice of majority of the

small clique.
81 do not think it would favor pop

general election law does, nor do l
think it promotes fractional strife
