The State Journal has. through an ar

FILES ITS ANSWER.
Waters-Pierce Company Replies TO
Mandamus Suit of Standard.

st. Louis, Feb 23.-The answer of
Waters Pierce Oil company in the
mandamus suit of the Rockefeller
Standard interests was filed today. It
charges that the Rockefeller faction is
trying to obtain control of the Waters
Pierce company to perpetuate the oil
monopoly ordered dissolved by the
United States supreme court in the
case of the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.
The fight for control began at the
annual stockholders meeting a week
ago when the Standard interests tried
to elect Robert w. Stewart. George w.
Mayer and c. NJ Adams to the direc-
tOrate and Gust H. Clay Pierce as head
of the company. When the Pierce
tellers refused to record the Standard
votes the. mandamus suit was filed.
The Pierce answer asserts that neither
of the proposed Standard directors
owns any stock in his own right in the
Waters-Pierce company but that one
share each has been transferred to
them to enable them to qualify. It is
former directors of the Standard oil
company who now control majority
of the stock in the subsidiary corpora
tons to bring the Waters-Pie com
pany into an unlawful restraint of
trade.
To permit the election of Stewart,
Mayer and Adams as directors, 1t is
charged. would be to place the affairs
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company un-
der the complete domination of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana,
which, il is alleged is a competitor of
the Waters Pierce company.

STILL FAR APART
Aetna Factions Trying to Patch
Up Differences.
Insurgents Seem to Be in Con-
troll of Situation.

Under the direction of Judge Sluss.
of Wichita, the election of officers of
the Aetna Building & Loan association
started today and may continue for
ten days or two weeks That the in
surgent wing of the association has
direct control of a majority of the votes
and their pockets filled with proxies.
is the general impression of people not
acquainted with the minute working of
the association.
That the regular forces of the ASSOC
citation will spring a surprise and dump
on the tables more proxies than have
been conceded their following, is hardly
expected. Neither is it probable that
the two factions will effect compro-
misses. Never in the history of the as
sociation has there been a campaign
for proxies that equalled the fight now
being staged in the offices of the Aetna.
If the insurgents ultimately Win-and
it is generally conceded that they will
this faction will probable claim the
entire official board. The regulars filed
a protest against the election being held
on the ground that the adjournment
was irregular. Friends of both factions
today declined to make statements or
predictions of the outcome. Both urge
that factional differences have been set
tied and that the election will be con-
Quoted for the best interests of the in
Gividual share owner. Just when the
election will close, is problematical. 1t
VIII last a Week. II may continue
through three weeks. No one seems to
know.
For several weeks every inch of
ground has been contested by members
of the two crowds. When the regulars
seemed to have the affairs carefully
stored away and a fire-proof safe full |
of proxies. the insurgents without
warning hailed the officers before the
federal court and the entire program
was started over again. The election
was postponed a month. Judge Pollock
appointed Judge Sluss as master of the
election. Books Of the association were
opened to both factions. Since that day
there has been a busy campaign.
Proxies will be examined by the mas
ter and the election will be under his
personal supervision. The work of NAM
ing officers and a directorate started
this morning, when shareholders estab-
lished headquarters at the EIl1s' club
adjoining the Aetna building on the
west. At noon men attending the cleo
ton, reported little progress In fact
the preliminary work is said to have
only started
Sometime next week the association
will get down to real business and the
counting of the "A, 900 votes to be cast

of ownership of proxies will be settled
and diplomatic relations resumed among
the fractional stockholders.

THE
HUlETT UNDERTAKING
COMPANY.
AND
THE CONTRACTOR.

One of the most serious problems
in this age of high buildings is the
elevation of the tons and tons of ma
terial to where it can be placed in the
hands of the builders. Time was
when every pound of stone, brick,
mortar, lumber, iron work, etc., had to
be carried up ladders in hods or raised
by hand winches and pulley buckets
When the demand came for higher
buildings it was soon demonstrated
that such primitive methods were out
of the question and the steam engine
and drum hoist we're made to play
their part in the building game.
But, while the steam engine-driven
hoist was far more economical than
hod carriers, it had its many disad-
vantages. Large buildings are nearly
always erected in the very heart OF
the business districts of large cities
and fire risk and smoke nuisance OF
dCllNS SItdIn ei6lhcS was d oCi iOuo
handicap. The contractors steam
plant requires a licensed attendant
night and day and there is the inevi-
table coal and ash heap and the ever
present fire danger. The smoke and
SCOT stains marble and light colored
stone and brick, necessitating a thor
ough cleaning before the building is
accepted.
To avoid these inconvenience and
expenses the keen witted contractor
was not slow to adopt electric power.
Two of the most important advan-
tages in the use of electricity for con-
struction work are the simple manner
in which the electrical equipment can
be installed, and the ease with which
it can be relocated when necessary.
This latter feature is particularly ad.
vantageous in the building of struc'
lures of great magnitude where the
scene of operations is constantly
changing.
Where the work is not being pushed
night and day the electric motor can
be covered with tarpaulin and aban
doned for the night, or for days, in
case of storm, without danger of freez
ing up or the attendance of fireman,

The two expositions, that to be held
