ment of a Federal receiver for each of
the former Standard subsidiaries may
follow the disclosures being brought out
in the hearing of the Standard Oil
Waters Pierce suit, now going on be-
fore Commissioner A. L. Jacobs.
This course of procedure was threat
ened today by one of counsel for the
Waters Pierce Company, which is being
sued because it refused to recognize
the election as directors of men whom
it charges represented the old Standard
crowd, seeking by this method to re-
gain control of the company.
at is astonishing that the govern
ment officials could be so easily taken
in as to believe there ever was such a
thing as dissolution said this at
torney. Every bit of evidence SO far
produced has shown that in every one
of the old subsidiaries of the Standard
Rockefeller and his associates still own
a controlling interest, and that not one
of the subsidiaries has tried in any
way to increase the scope of its bust
ness, contenting itself with doing bust
ness in the same territory in which it
worked before the dissolution order
came from the supreme court

Dissolution Only
Change of Names.

THE only change that the dissolution
order brought about was the resigna-
ton of some of the old directors OF
the subsidiaries and the immediate
filling of their places by men chosen
bv Rockefeller and his associates.
.sNot only has the STANDARD evaded
the court ruling as regards dissolution,
but it began evading just as soon as
the Federal action was begun. The
state of Texas began action against the
Security and Corsicana Oil Companies,
operating in that state. When the
courts finally ordered that the concerns
he dissolved. it was found these COM
panies no longer existed-that almost
Immediately upon the filing of the suit
the name was changed to John c,
Seely & Co. and later to the Magnolia
Petroleum Company.
Before we have finished examining
witnesses in this case. we intend to
show. through the testimony of wit
nesses and the records of the different
subsidiary companies, that the dissolu-
ton order was never carried out. With
these facts in our possession, we will
present them to the court and ask, as
the facts warrant, for the falling for
contempt of Rockefeller and his asso-
ciates and the appointment Of re-
ceiver, so that the independent oil deal
ers may be assured of square deal.

Indian Legends EnthraII Tiny
Youngsters While Older Ones
Hear of ChauCer.

Atlanta children have turned their
minds and thoughts to the land OF
myth with the return of the enjoyable
story telling hour at the Carnegie Ii
brary. on Wednesday afternoons Miss
Henrlette Masselling, the story teller
amuses and instructs young Atlanta at
the Anne Wallace branch Of the libra
ry on Luckie street; on Friday after
rooms at the main library on Carnegie
way.
For the little boys and girls who
cluster around her chair to the number
Of several score and listen wide-eyed,
and with childish terror sometimes, she
tells stories of the American Indians.
Some of them are stories of actual fig
ures among the red men and again of
the heroes of their mythology.
Older children are told the familiar
Canterbury Tales" but Miss MasselI-
ing says she does not try to pro-
nounce the words in the way in which
Chaucer spelled them.
The American Indian stories will re-
count at first much Of the mythology
told long go by medicine men of wan
dering tribes to the young warriors.
Many Of the original legends which
American poets have made famous in
prose and poetry will be told Then
tales Of the first American settlers will
be recounted and the little children,
WHO go to bed every night confident in
the thought that their home is safe
guarded against almost any possible
harm, will learne of the children of the
original settlers who often were
snatChed from a blazing cabin and
rushed into the stockade fort to pre-
vent their being scalped. Indian war
riors and heroes will be introduced in
these stories. Most of the Indian war
riors told Of are those who fought
against the New England settlers and
the Dutch who first settled where New
York city now stands.
England's first national poet will be
appreciated by young Atlanta before
they reach the high school age. for the
stories for the older children dealing
with Chaucer's tales are to be made
simple enough for the children to UNI
derstand, and yet will not be told so as
to cause loss of interest.
At the second storytelling today
at the main library several score
Of children attended each sec
ton and as the cool days come on and
less of summers pleasures can be en-
joyed, the attendance is expected tc
become larger than ever before. The
story hour for the little children begins
at 1880 o'clock, and the tales for the
older children at o'clock.

THE sILo NOT INTOXICATING

Rural New Yorker: We have been
waiting for the following gray-haired
fake to 60 riding on printers ink:
Washington, August 8.-The cow
with "jag" is the latest discovery
by the: Department of Agriculture.
A Virginia husbandman, alarmed by
the indecorous performances Of an
ordinarily perfectly mild animal after
munching ration Of silage, appeal
ed to the experts in the department.
Investigation revealed that Fbossy'
had feasted on fermented cornstalks
and had simply gotten drunk on raw
bourbon whisky was all.'
The last time we heard about this
the hired man had found crack in
the bottom Of silo. He ran a straw
in and sucked out fine quality Of
liquor which made him as drunk as a
lord. That was the last report-now
they have silage sending the good old
cow on spree. The whole thing is a
fake, pure and simple. The story is
concocted by some smart newspaper
reporter who has run short Of other
material. We went all over the sub
ject with chemists years ago. There
would be about as much alcohol de-
ve1oped in the silo as there would be
in bread baking.
