Texas COMPANY
TO Be 0USIED?
Ohm H., JR., SAID TO HAVE OF
FICFS IN OFFICES OF the
INDEPENDENT CONCERN.
Much ROOM FOR DOUBT
iumors Of Consolidation Are Not
Given Much Crcdcncc for Many
Obvious Reasons,

The following appeared in the ST.
outs Globe-Democrat Of october
9th;
AUSTIN. Tex. oct. 29,-using the
act that John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.
las his offices In the New York head
uarters OF the Texas company as

airs of the former concern with the
lew OF obtaining evidence To support

rust laws.
The Texas company was supposed
% be controlled by Charles Gates and
Is associates and was regarded as an
independent OIL producing, refining

prominent in directing its affairs.
Th.s Is extremely importane II

Oil News and Comment
BY JOHN REAVIS

be doubted In the first place II John
d. Rockefeller. Jr.. has his offices in
tho Now York headquarters of the
Texas company they have been
moved there recently, for IL is we'll
known that his offices, as wei as
those NJ all other high officials ot the
Standard ON company have hitherto
been in the building at 20 broadway
In the next place after the stan
dard oil company's experiences dur'
ing the last two years IN the state OF
Texas it is hardly probable that II
would thrust its head into a Hons
mouth and bring ON repetition ot
experiences such as those through
which IL has recently passed I'm that
state. Texas has law expressly for
bidding the presence Of the standard
OH company In that state. II has not
been long since II prosecuted the Sc
curity Refining company at Beau
mont and the Navarro Refining
company at Corsicana for violating
the antitrust laws of the state. Both
OF these were Standard OH concerns
and both were heavily fined and COM
PEELED to disincorpornte They have
been succeeded 10y the Magnolia Pc
troleum company. which is now op-
Grating refiner1s OF Beaumont and
Corsicana and carrying on Il general
distributing business.
II the Standard oil company has
gained control of the Texas company
IL has certainly been within the last
few weeks. It win he remembered
that this very question of an alliance
between the Standard oil company
and the Texas company and the Gun
Pipe Line company came up IN the
recent hearing here at Tulsa. The
attorneys of both the Gulf Pipe Line
company and the Texas company we're
most emphatic in their declarations,
both at Houston and NJ Tulsa, that
there was no connection whatever be-
tween their respective compsaies ana
the Standard oil company. There was
not evidence forthcomi from any
direction that indicated any sJch con-
nection and Commissioner Lane at
Houston finally admitted that he did
not see any reason to believe that
there was any alliance between the
three companies and the same decla-
ration was made by Special Examiner
LION during the Tulsa hearing.
There is no reason to believe tha'
any change whatever has taken place
In the control of the Texas company
. ON the contrary it has great plans FOL
the future as an independent corpo
Iration and as an active compeuto'
of the standard oil company.
