 to Offer Him Presidency

New York. June 17.-James A. Moffatt, vice president of the Standard Oil com ,pany, of New Jersey, former head of the Standard oil company of Indiana, and a director and officer of a number Of Standard Oil subsidiaries before the dis solution of the trust, was questioned to- day at the hearing of the suit brought by the Standard against the Waters Pierce oil company to prevent Waters Pierce interests from throwing out proxies voted at the annual election in St. Louis. Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the waters-Pierce interests, asked MT. Moi fatt if he received stock in all of the companies at the time Of the dissolution. The witness replied that he did.
 And you voted at every election of the former subsidiaries?"
 That's right"
 And when the 34 subsidiaries were let go you and the other officers got to- gether and selected the officers for the subsidiares?"
 MT. Moffatt did not remember but lat ter admitted some of the directors of the Standard oil company of New Jersey may have arranged for officers" and di- rectors of the various former subsidiaries. Names of men who made such arrange ments he could not remember.
 Stewart Testifies
 Previous to Moffatt's examination, Rob ert l.. Stewart of St. Louis, former coun- sel for the Sunda Standard Oil company of Indiana, told on the stand how he was asked to take the preidency of the Waters-Pierce company. He said he knew at the time that there was fight on between the Standard oil company and the Waters-Pierce interests, but de- nied that he considered himself placed in the fight as a Standard oil man. He said he assumed a majority of the Waters Pierce stockholders had authorized Moi fatt to offer him the presidency.
 He said Moffatt told him the Waters Pierce company had been in trouble in about every state and that I've want lawyer to run it and observe the federal and state laws"
 He said there was no intention on anyone's part to take any representa- tion from Henry Clay Pierce. Presi- dent of the Waters-Pierce company. He added in effect that his Standard oil connections would not influence his &C., tions or powers as president of the smaller company.

APPEAR UNABLE TO AGREE
Bitumnous Miners and Operators
HopeIessiy DeadIocked.

Cleveland, March 29.-The subcom-
mittee announced ii was unable to
agree and it would SO report to the
full conference. The members said
their arguments had brought about a
continuation of the deadlock, as oper-
ators and miners repeated their posi-
tions of week ago.
Hope of averting a widespread coal
strike In the United States, beginning
next Monday, centered In a subcom-
mittee which had been appointed by
bituminous operators and miners to
agree If possible on a compromise
wage scale.
All other means of agreeing had
failed and it was said that unless
compromise soon was effected 350,000
miners in the bituminous fields would
quit Sunday midnight and the suspen-
sion would be, in effect, a strike.
AS for the 175,000 miners in the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania 1t was
announced by national union officials
that a strike there next Monday was
unavoidable.
Jointly the wage disputes involved a
threatened strike of almost 100000
miners and the shutting down OF al
most every unionized coal mine In the

CITY is ALARMED
Defeat of Federals in Chihuahua Gre
ates CONSERVATION.

Washington, March 29.-Consterna-
ton reigns in Mexico City over the
federal defeats in Chihuahua. Oroz-
co.'s success there is looked upon by
the government as ominous and likely
to be followed by serious events
throughout the republic.
The weakness of the federal forces
in the south is recognized and Zapata
seems to be taking advantage of this
fact He is reported to be resuming
his fighting in that section.
The federals, following their recent
engagement in Southern Chihuahua,
TO Torreon in a demoralized
condition and, the state department
reports say, the rebels are following
them closely.
The rebel successes have shaken
the confidence OF some of the Wash
ington officials in the easy triumph of
Madero over his enemies.

papers of this city, the Record Herald

Republican, anti-Rooseyeltl and the
Examiner (Democratic) express the
belief that Colonel Roosevelt is pre-
raring to bolt the Republican ticket
in the event that he is defeated for
the presidential nomination.
The papers base their belief on a
statement, which Mr.. Roosevelt made.
The Roosevelt statement follows:
IF the people decide the way
think they ought not to do, | will
think they are unwise, but will have
nothing to say. But if they decide
against us, as the result of Juggling
of their rights by the bosses, then
will have a good deal to say"

Is Entitled to Seat.
ACTION MAY COME QUICKLY

Friends and Opponents of Illinois Law
maker Declare They Are Anxious TO
Bring the Case Before the Senate
Without Delay-supporters of the
"RIonde Bees" Confident He Will
Come Out Victorious.
Washington, March 29.--The senate
Lorimer committee resumed cOnsidera-
tion of the case of the junior senator
from Illinois and by a vote of 5 to 3
decided to report the senator entitled
to retain his seat.
Friends of Senator Lorimer ap-
peared confident that he would retain
his seat. The effort will be made to
have the senate pass first of ali upon
the purely legal phases Of the case,
the plea having been made that the
senate has no right to try the senator
second time on substantially the
same charges The res adjusdicata'
plea, raised by Senator Lorimer's at
torneys, is said to have caused num-
Der of anti-Lorimer senators to waver
in their views.
The anti-Lorimer senators are in
sistent on bringing the case before the
senate without delay. The members
of the committee who favor Lorimer
profess the same desire.
