STEWART TEST|F|ES
 IN THE O|L HEARING

St. Louis, February 29.-Attorney R. W. Stewart, who was slated for the presidency of the Waters-Pierce oil com pany, tonight told of what he said were efforts of the Standard oil interests to reorganize the former company at the hearing before federal commissioner here. He declared the Waters-Pierce company had not paid dividend in three years.
 II is the contention of the Standard interests, he said. that the assets of the Waters Pierce company were dis sipated by the payment of attorneys fees, penalties for violation of the anti trust laws of Missouri, Texas and Arkan- sas and the payment of large sums to Pierce and his relatives.
 Charles N. Adams, secretary of the waters-Pierce company. in deposition today, Said he had found most of these facts to be true.
 In response to questions by counsel for the Waters-Pierce company, Adams said William Rockefeller owned 22 shares of Waters-Pierce stock, and that Henry NJ. Flagler, John D. Archbold and Charles NJ. Pratt became stockholders at the same time, and in the same man uer as the others mentioned
 Adams said the standard of New Jer- sey was a stockholder and that all it's stock was entered in the Waters-Pierce books in the name of Van Buren, as trustee.

 Captain Rates was perhaps best known in Birmingham as the originator of the l5 cent trunk delivery. He was president of the xates Transfer and Warehouse com pany and during the 13 years he had lived in Birmingham he had proved that b cent trunk delivery could be made a profitable business Before coming to Birmingham he lived in Atlanta nine years and he also introduced the 15 cent trunk delivery in that city. He numbered his friends by the hundreds both in Atlanta and in Birming- ham.
 Captain Rates was born in Millvile. N. J., and served through the civil war in the federal army. He was captain of the Fifth Ohio battery and artillery.
 He leaves besides his wife four children, Mrs. w. P. Vaughan of Atlanta, Mrs. T.. F. McCandless, Miss Hattie Kates and Lewis s.

AVIATION MEET AT CAPITAL NEXT WEEK Grounds at Vandiver Park Being Put in Shape.
 Shneider Arrives

Montgomery, February 29.-(Special)- )- Plans are being perfected for the big aviation meet here next week. The grounds at Vandiver park have been put in shape. and it is expected that this park will prove the best place around Montgomery for the holding of the big events. In addition to the work on the grounds at Vandiyer park, the city has begun to assume a holiday air. Stores are being decorated with bunting, and it is believed that all the large places of the city will be gay with banners and colors by the last of the week.
 So far as can be ascertained the avia- ton meet here has attracted more than statewide interest. Tickets by the thou- sands have been issued and it is antici- pated that the big aviation celebration will attract large crowds to the city for the flying events.
 The first of the aviators to arrive with a machine is Fred r. Shneider of New York, a builder of biplanes Aviator Sherwood, a graduate of Shneider's school. is with the great aviator, and he will also give exhibition flights.

 FOR UNDERWOOD Campbell Says Wilson Is Trying to Get Foothold
 in Alabama

E. K. Campbell chairmaneo of the Un- derwood state campaign committee, an- nounced yesterday that aJefferson county organization would be effected within the next few days. There will be a consulta- ton among Underwood leaders either to- night or tomorrow night in reference 10 the county committee
 "There is no doubt in my mind," stated Mr. Campbell, but that the friends of Woodrow Wilson are. endeavoring to get a color of sentiment favorable to the gov ernor of New Jersey in the state conyen- ton. Everybody in Alabama favors the nomination of Underwood, but the friends of Wilson desire the election of delegates favorable to Wilson as second choice. There is scarcely a doubt but that there are people in every county in the state bushwhaol1ing for the governof of New Jersey. We are going to make an aggres- sive fight in Alabama, and especially in this county"
 It is probable that the organization of the county committee will be complete by the beginning of next week. It is un- derstood that the members of the county democratic executive committe will be made members of the Underwood commlt- tee, each with the assignment to do work in his beat

Divide Delegation

Excelsior Springs, Mo. February 29. President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, in convention marked by disorderly scenes, divided honors in contest to- day for delegates from the third con gressional district of Missouri to the national convention at Chicago.

Both fac tions chose delegates and alternates to the national convention and each side contends its delegates are regular.
