 EICTMENTS OF OFFICIALS.

 On Arcllb0ld Or FOIger.

Washington, Feb. 11.-lndicating that the voice of Standard Oil is needed in the department of justice, Attorney General Wickersham today declined to send to the house import ant documents of correspondence re- lating to- the Texas indictments in volving the Standard Oil officials. He said he had been informed by Stand ard Oil attorneys that they would contest any eXtradition proceedings against John D. Archbold, Henry C. Folger Jr., and w. c. Teagle to stand trial in that state for violation of criminal sections of the antitrust laws and that he did not think the government had sufficient evidence to onvict.
 John G. Milburn, Standard Oil at. torney, who has had several inter- views with MT. Wickersham is believ- ed to have carried this message to the department of justice that all arrests warrants issued by the Texas court on an indictment be held up pending in vestigation by the department.
 Mir. Wickersham then directed the New York district marshal not to serve either the original arrest war rant or the latter or last warrants is- sued under the indictments by the Texas court.
