intimating that John W. Gates hat

ment:
I'm the course of the late revolu

emphatically that it had ever contrib.
uted in any way to the revolutionary
cause. Now, in the face of recent re.
iterations, 1t wishes to repeat its de.
nial. In being revived the story has
had an additional misstatement
tagged to it, namely, that the Texas
company (an oil corporation identified
with the late John w. Gates is a sub
sidiary of and owned and controlled
by the Standard Oil company. That
is absolutely untrue. The Standard
Oil company has no interest in the
Texas company, and any negotiations
Lord Cowdray may have had with Mr..
Gates in respect to the Pearson prop
critics was of no concern to the Stand
ard Oil company.
The statement leaves unanswered
the report that negotiations between
the Standard Oil and Lord Cowdray
are now in progress for the taking
over Of the Pearson holdings in Mex
