w. w. TRACY MAKES DENIAL
Didn't Tell Covington to Sell
Custnmers' Stocks. He Saws.

William W Tracy, president OF Tracy &
Co, which failed in May, 1909, with more
than 81 100000 liabilities and s15o.ooo assets.
took the witness stand yesterday at his
trial on an Indictment charging grand lar
cenv in the first degree. He denied having
had any knowledge Of the sale Of six hun
dred shares Of Goldfelds Consolidated
Mines stock belonging TO Herman Kahle.
jr.. the proceeds of which, the indictment
alleges, he and his partners, R. D Cow
ingtCn and Frederick ". Walker, appro-
priated to their own use.
Tracy also denied many statements Of
Covington. who has turned states eyi-
dence and IS the principal witness for the
prosecution. These included the statement
that on the Friday before the firm failed
Covington told about an effort he had
made during the day to guide customer
into making money on the stock market.
You must remember that We are all
pirates" Covington testified Tracy said to
him. and when any one comes into our
office with $1,000. 5000 or 5000, we must
get it
The statement is ridiculous" declared
Tracy when he took the stand. 4 never
said such a thing Covington told me that
night for the first time that he had been
selling stocks belonging to customers. I
told him that II the firm failed he would
be likely 20 go 10 the penitentiary. He
said. I don't care and I told him that
was all right, but ] didn't want him TO
drag me with him
Tracy told the story Of his business
career, which began when he entered the
bank in Springfield, Ill. of which his
father was president Covington was a
clerk in the same institution.

NO WAR ON STANDARD OIL
Issues Denial of London Report
of Fight Over Petrol Trade.

4 representative of the Standard OIL
Company denied yesterday the reports
cabled from London that the Shell Trad
ing and Transport Company was engaged
in war with the Standard company for
control Of the worlds petroleum trade and
that the former concern had successfully
invaded this country and disposed of fifty
thousand tons of petrol here
He said that the Standard had not re
duced the price Of oil abroad for the pur-
pose of UnderseIling the foreign companies,
but simply because there had been an over
production and it had 115,GO0, 600 barrels Of
oil on hand that IL wanted to dispose Of
In regard TO the report that the Shell
group Of oil companies was marketing
large quantities of petrol here, he said
that he had investigated and found that
only three or four cargoes Of petrol had
been brought TO this country during the
last year, and that none Of II came from
Europe. all Of il being shipped from SUI

wrong times, and had also applied the
machinery Of internal revenue taxation IN
such a way as TO interfere 20 the maxi

She always comes. She must be ILL.,"
That the next time Eleanor's where
