COMPROMISE
 IS NOT LIKELY
FATHER OF BIRMINGHAM GIRL DOESN'T FAVOR LocKETT AS
 soNlN.LAW SECOND TIME.
Loekett Will Be Given Preliminary Hearing This Morning to Deter
 on Which Charge to Hold Him.

Any compromise that Ben Lockett Jr. might have felt disposed 10 make in the matter of marrying l4-year- old Eliza Birmingham in order to prevent her appearing as a prescott ing witness against him this morning on a serious charge, was disposed ot yesterday when the father of the girl stated that he would not give his con sent to a marriage between them
 The girl is not of age, and if they were to marry without the consent of the parents, the marriage would not be legal.
 After Ben Lockett was charged with a serious offense against the girl, his wife and 11-months-old babe left him and two days after secured a hurry up divorce in a court in the eastern portion of the state Under ordinary conditions that would have left Lock cit free to offer to marry the l4year- cid prosecuting witness against him, and thus eliminate him from the trouble.
 Yesterday Prosecutor J. B. Wood gave some attention to the case. and took the story of the little girl It is stated that the girl told him all the details of her experiences from Saturday afternoon until Sunday aft ernoon. while in company with Lock cit. and if her story is substantiated by the other evidence, the prosecutor will probably insist on Lockett being held for the highest charge under the law
 In the meanwhile the defense is not without friends, who believe that Lockett is not so guilty as painted. and that when the whole story has been told there will be a different view of the case.
 Judge DeVa1 has the hearing of the case dhis morning, and there is much speculation as to whether the pre- liminary examination will be made, or whether Loekett will waive eXamina- ten and go over to await the action of the grand jury without bond.

Alleged Waters Pierce oil Company
 Still Does Business ln Texas.
 St. Louis, March 1.-Charges that the Waters Pierce Company has by a subterfuge continued it's business in Texas. after having been legally busted from that state, and that the company is being made to pay the ex- penses of H. Clay Pierce's present fight to retain control of it, were made today by Charles M, Adams, for mer secretary and treasurer of the company, in his testimony before spe- cial commissioner Mcdonald.
 Adams is one of the three men sup ported by the Rockefeller interests, who own 6e per cent of the Pierce company and are suing to compel their installation as directors follow ing the electio nof February 15 at which votes cast for them were dis regarded.
 Attorneys sought to show from Ad ans that the Pierce concern, which charges the Standard with seeking to evade a court order, has itself re- sorted to similar practice in Texas.
