STANDARD DISOBEYED
THE COURTS ORDER
CREATED A FICTITIOUS COMPANY
TO TAKE PLACE OF SuBSI-
DIARY CONCERN

St. Louis, March 1.--Charles NJ.
Adams, former secretary Of the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil company. testifying at
the oil hearing before Special Com
missioner Mcdonald today declared
the Waters-Pierce company had been
succeed in Texas by the Pierce For
dyce Oil association. But so far as
he was aware the method of carrying
on the business had not been chang
ed since WaterslPierce dominated the
situation.
The Waters-Pierce Oil company was
ousted from Texas on the ground
that it had violated the antitrust
laws. 1t was succeeded by the
Pierce -Fordyce Oil association which
bought the property of the Waters
Pierce at foreclosure sale.
Adams disclosure that the Waters
Pierce and Pierce-Fordyce corpora
tions 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 Waters
Pierce.
Adams said J. o. Stewart, secretary
of ten Pierce-F Fordyce association was
drawing salary as an employe 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 Ad-
ans 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 had been
severance of Standard Oil and it's
subsidiaries in accordance with the
recent dissolution decree order of the
supreme court of the United States,
That the stock of the Standard Oil
company of Indiana is to be increas-
ed from $1,OOO,OO0 to $s0,0O0,O00 at
the annual stockholders meeting to
be held soon at Whiting, Indiana, was

Mill OWNERS EXPECTED
TO GRANT ALL DEMANDS
ONE BIG LAWRENCE ESTABLISH
MENTS OFFERS AN INCREASE
OF FIVE PER CENT

Lawrence, Mass, March 1.-The
posting of notices today in the Ar
lington Cotton and Worsted mills,
which employs $500 hands, announc-
ing a wage increase of at least five
per cent to take effect next Monday
was regarded as an important step
toward the speedy settlement of -the
great textile strike, which involves
nearly 10000 persons.
The feeling was general in Law
renee that many of the other mills
here would make similar concessions
to operatives. The Arlington mills
are not connected with he American
Wooden company. A scarcity of strik-
ers doing picket duty was apparent
during the hours preceding the time
for beginning work There appeared
to be slight increase in the num-
ber Of people entering the various
mills.
A party of children who have work
ed in the mills and who had been re-
quested to appear before a congress
sional committee in Washington to-
morrow, left this city at I'LL a. m.
today. The delegation included
only IS minors, four of whom were
girls.
The executive committee of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, which
was in session for an hour today vot-
ed TO recommend that the strikers re-
fuse an advance of five per cent Mass
meetings probably will be called TO
consider developments.

YUAN HAS LOST ALL CONTROL
THE MANcHU TROOPS ARE THE
ONLY MEMBERS OF THE ARMY
WHO ARE LOYAL.
MANY CIVILIANS ARE KILLED
NO ESTIMATE OF THE LOSS OF
: LIFE HAS BEEN MADE, 1T
tNiIse is STATED.

Picking, Mar. l.-At half past seven
o'clock tonight 1esulrory shooting
again began in the city. 1t is believed
Yuan Shi Kai has lost control, None
of the troops except the Manchus are
to be depended on and they evidently
care only to defend the imperial and
forbidden cities.
Throughout the day Iooting OF
stores and residences has been going
on in various parts of the city and
there have been several skirmlshes
between the loyal troops and the NUT
ineers in the outskirts. The majority
of the mutineers, however, had left
the central district before morning.
Ten looters, captured in the act of
carrying off property, were executed
on the spot by loyal soldiers, several
regiments of whom are patrolling the
streets. The incendiary fires which
were started last night have all been
extinguished or have died out The /
loss is estimated approximately at |
$15. 100000.
The number of casualties that have
occurred among the civilians and the
soldiers is not known, but it is be-
lieved that the loss of life has been
heavy. The outbreak was a most
complete surprise born to the govern
ment and to the foreign legations and
there is some apprehension of rec
rudescence of the disorders tonight.
The smoldering fires in many dis
tricts of the city are tonight being
raked over by throngs of poor. No
fresh fires have occurred but there
has been some further looting in re-
mote quarters of the city. Some de-
tachments of the old style turbaned
troops have been brought here and
it is reliably reported that Yuan Shi
Kai is bringing back also the Manchu
troops who were ousted recently be-
cause it was believed they were a
dangerous element.
Yuan Shi Kai, it is alleged, has
been endeavoring to retain the sup
port of the soldiers here by permit
tnig his bodyguard to do as they
pleased but only small body Of men
now remain loyal to him. The dele
gates from Marking escaped yester-
day from the burning residences
where they were guests of the city.
They are now staying at a hotel in
the legation quarter.
The stdeets have been thronged all
day but all shops are closed. Lines
of carts continue to bring valuafjes
into the legation quarters. Space be
ing limited in the legation quarter.
onlyya a few of the better class of
Chinese are permitted to take refuge
there. Many Christians, however, a,e
barbored in the mission compounds.
The trains departing for Tien Tsin
are crowded with fugitives.
The number of killed during last
nights disturbance probably is under
100. The object of the rioters evi-
IDENTIFY was loot and not slaughter. and
the continued firing apparently was
designed to intimidate the people.

1t certainly is gratifying to all
Democrats to note the Parkers-
burg State Journals reasons for
not supporting the candidacy of
Woodrow Wilson. A careful an
alysis of that journals editorial
columns since the Baltimore Con-

thing like this:
Because Bryan is a yawp
mouth"
Because Bryan is a dema-
gogue."
Because Bryan is anarchis-
tic"
When a newspaper of the liter
airy standing of the Journal can
find nothing against the can
didate except that he was sup
ported by William Jennings
Bryan, for whom the common
people, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike, have naught but love
and respect, it is time for shout
ing and rejoicing. Bryan's only
enemies are the Ryans, Belmonts

party and the Penroses, Roots
