with which aeronauts leap.
The trip to the barracks was made
without a stop, The fret the soldiers
knew anything unusual was going on
was when they heard the buzzng of a
propeller and saw the plane, which was
flying high and swiftly.

shot toward the earth. Suddenly the
parachute popped open. the rapdity OF the
descent was checked and, amid cheers,
the aviator reached ground In safety.

TEXAS COURT ORDER
HAS LITTLE EFFECT
Waters-Pierce Oil Company
Continues to Do Business
at the Old Stand.

ST. LOUIS, March 1,-Chares NJ,
Adams. former secretary of the Waters
Pierce Oil company. tcstifying at the
oil hearing before Special Commissioner
Mcdonald. today declared the Waters
Pierce company had been succeeded In
Texas by the Pierce Fordyce Oil asso-
citation. But so far as he was aware,
the method of carrying on the business
had not been changed since Waters
Pierce dominated tine situation.
The Waters-Pierce Oil company was
ousted from Texas on the ground that
il had violated the antitrust laws. 1t
was succeeded by the Pierce Fordyce
erty of the Waters-Pierce at fore
closure sale.
Adams disclosures that the Waters
Pierce and Pierce Fordyce corporations
were virtually one was brought out
under cross examination by Daniel n.
Kirby. one OF the attorneys for the
Standard Oil company, which is seek
ing to get control of the WatersPiercc.
Adams said j. o. Stewart, secretary
of the Pierce-Fordyce association. was
drawing a salary as an employee of the
Waters Pierce company and that part
of the business Of the Texas concern
was transacted at the Waters Pierce
offices in st. Louis. SO far as Adams
knew. the Texas company did not pay
rent for the use of the Waters-Pierce
Offices.
The present inquiry touches the
question of whether there has been a
severance of Standard Oil and it's sub
sidiaries in accordance with the recent
dissolution decree order OF the supreme
court of the United States.
IT also developed that the stock of
the Standard Oil company Of Indiana
is TO be increased from $4,000, 900 10
$50 900 900 at the annual stockholders
meeting 10 be held soon.
