OIL COMPANY CAN'T COME BACK
SUPREME COURT HOLDS AGAINST
THE PIERCE OIL COMPANY.
Denied Petition to File Mandamus.
Permission Was Sought by Cor
poration to Re-Enter State.

Austin, Textile supreme court
Wednesday overruled the petition for
permission to file mandam1s by the
Pierce Oil Corporation of Virginia
against the secretary of state 10 re-
quire the issuance of permit to do
business in Texas. This is probably
the last chapter of the old Waters
Pierce case in Texas courts, as the
next step will be to the United States
supreme court, where federal ques-
tons will be raised.
In refusing to permit the petition to
be filed, the court sustained the opin-
ion of the attorney general to the sec
rotary of state holding that the Texas
statute forbids a permit being issued
to a corporation in the class of that
petitioning because it is a successor
to the ousted Waters Pierce Oil Com
pany and took over its property, as
sets and business. The latter had
been convicted of violating the Texas
antitrust statutes.
Thereafter a law was passed forbid
ding a permit to be issued 10 a cor
poration which succeeds to the prop
erty and business of a corporation so
convicted. The validity of this act
is sustained by Wednesdays decision.
The court does not pass on the juris-
dictional question; that is, whether
mandamus would lie against a state
officer to compel him to perform a
purely ministerial duty of discretion.
Among other things, the court
wrote: 'As the State has the right
to entirely withhold its permission for
a foreign corporation to transact bust
ness within its limits, it is within the
power to provide that such permission
shall be denied for such cause as it
may prescribe whether based upon
acts within the state or without it.
Further along the court says the state
is free TO prescribe the terms or con
ditions upon which it grants the au-
thority for foreign corporation to en-
ter this state.
Following this, the court finds that
the Pierce Oil Corporation, having sue
ceeded to the assets of the Ousted
Waters Pierce Oil Company, and sets
itself up to conduct the business of
the ousted concern, it clearly comes
within the definition of the corpora
tions described in article 1906, revised
statutes, prohibiting the admittance of
corporations acquiring the property
and business of the convicted cor
poration.
This marks the second attempt of
the Pierce oil interests to gain en-
trance to Texas, they having attempt
ed it months before when ]. p Light
foot was attorney general, who ad-
vised that permit be not issued pend
ing an investigation to determine to
what extent the new concern had &C
quired the property and business of
the ousted corporation.

Mediators Were Stirred.

Niagara Falls, Ontario-The dis
patches of the forcible seizure by a
Villa official of the telegraph office in
Juarez, held previously by Carranza
officials, created a stir in the media
ton colony Tuesday. The Huerta dele
gates said it plainly showed the cor
rectness of their repeated warnings
that lack of cohesion in the consti-
nationalist ranks would lead to an
archy in the north. The news served
also to confirm suspicious current in
many quarters here of a breach be-
tween Villa and Carranza. Incident
ally it is understood the American
delegates inquired of Cabrera and Zu-
baran what they thought of the stories
of a split between Villa and Car
rama.
The constitutionalist emissaries said
they had confidence in General Car
ranza's tact and ability to smooth out
such difficulties.
The gravest apprehension, neverthe-
less, is felt of what may follow break
between Carranza and Villa. Should
their forces clash, a condition of an
archy might ensue.

I. P. A. TO MEET IN OMAHA NEXT YEAR

Houston, Tex-With the selection
of the convention city for 1915, the
election of officers and the consid-
Grafton of resolutions, the national
convention of the Travellers Protec-
tive Association of America came to
an end Friday. After a warm cam
paign the delegates decided upon
Omaha as their next meeting place.
San Francisco fought for the honor
against heavy odds The vote was 333
for Omaha and 100 for San Francisco.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, V. ]. Schoenecker. Jr,

nois: chaplain, Homer T. Wilson, San
Antonio.
The Maryland delegation introduced
a resolution asking for a speedy set
Element by the interstate commerce
commission of the freight rate ques-
ton now before the commission. This
resolution was adopted.
Another Maryanl resolution con-
demned the unfair nractice Of cutting
of standard goods, and stated that the
practice was being used as a means
of destroying Independent merchants
of the country and thereby limiting
the field of the travelling men. This
resolution heartily favored the Stew
ems bill now before congress which
deals with this matter. Adopted.
Still another Maryland resolution in
dorsed the idea of holding a national
centennial celebration at Baltimore to
commemorate the writing of the Star
Spangled Baner" by Francis Scott
Key.
The resolutions committee reported
favorably on a resolution that called
upon the national government to sta
ton United States health officers at
foreign ports of embarkation of immi-
grants coming to this country so that
inspection of immigrants could be
made on the other side of the ocean
and thus prevent diseased immigrants
from mixing with healthy immigrants
on trips across the ocean.

Ell Paso, Tex.-General Francisco
Villa has retired as commander in
chief of the constitutionalist army
Through his trusted agents in the
army, Villa Tuesday seized all
branches of the government in Tor
reon, Chihuahua and Juarez, putting
the Carranza officials in Jail and put
ting his own men in charge.
Villa has recovered possession of
the telegraph and railways in the
state of Chihuahua, has seized all the
custom houses and, according to his
intimates, is now prepared to do bust
ness with the United States independ-
ent of Carranza.
Outside of the happenings in Juarez
only meager information is obtainable,
but it is known that Villa struck in
Torreon and Chihuahua at the same
time that Colonel Tomas Ornelas car
ried out his orders in Juarez. Colonel
Ornelas seized the telegraph office
and the bureau of information at
Juarez.
Carranza's DignitarIes Are in Jail.
Perez Abreu, head of the informa-
ton bureau and personal representa-
tive of the Rafael Zubaran Company,
Carranza's minister gobernacion, and
representative in Washington, and all
the representatives of his bureau are
in Jail.
Alberto Poni, in charge of the
Juarez branch of the treasury depart
ment, and a strong Carranza man,
reached this side of the river in
about three jumps ahead of the
Ornelas men. He reports that all the
officials of his bureau have been
placed under arrest and that the tele-
graph office and custom house officers
are also in prison. Manuel Bonilla,
who was minister of communications
in Madero's cabinet and lately appoint
ed temporary adviser to Colonel
Ornelas, is on this side of the river
He processes to know nothing of
Villas stroke.
II received a telegram from Gen.
eral Villa ordering me to report at
once at Torreon," said Senior Bonilla,
and left Juarez before this happened"
When asked point blank if he had any
information of Villas intentions, Bo-
niila stroked his mustache, smiled
knowingly and said that he had moth
ing further to say.
Believe Carranza Committed BIunder.
Friends of Carranza are in deepest
gloom. Privately they admit that
Carranza has Numbered in batting
Villa too far. II is admitted that Villa

will be invincible in the state of Chi
luahua, and that if he continues his
revolt against Carranza's authority he
will hold the key to the whole situa-
ton.
The seizure of the offices in JuareE
Tuesday night was taken as conclu-
sive evidence of the long-predicted
split between Carranza. leader of the
constitutionalist revolution, and Villa,
his most successful chieftain.
Private advices received told of sim
liar action in taking over Carranza
offices at Chihuahua City and Torreon,
evidently placing the entire northern
part of Mexico in the power of Villas
military leaders.
Although Villas persistent military
successes had occasioned speculation
regarding his relation with CarranZa,
the matter did not receive serious
consideration until the appointment by
Carranza of General Panfilo Natera
rs commander of a newly created mill
Jary zone Natera's appointment
placed him in charge of a strip of
country which Villa previously had
planned to invade, including the yet
uncaptured city of Zacatecas. Natera
attacked Zacatecas while Villa re-
manned at Torreon viewing the expert
ment from the rear.
According TO reports from Mexico
City confirmed by private advices
from the revolutionist front below this
point, Natera was defeated decisively
in frequent attempts to take the city.
Then it was that Carranza requested
Villa to rush to Natera's assistance.
This was several days ago, and in
the meantime reports continued to ar
rive of Natera's defeat. Villa remain
ed at Torreon.
The matter of who should regulate
the public service in Northern Mexico
admittedly has been a bone of con-
tention between CarranZa the leader
and Villa the subordinate. Under the
old federal regime the railroads and
telegraph were subject to central con-
troll from the national capital.
All of the officials ousted by Villa
Tuesday were appointees of Carranza,
whose civil cabinet had taken over
the management of the railroads and
telegraph and incidentally the infor-
nation bureau, in accordance with the
prescribed custom in Mexico.
Alberto POM, in charge of the treas
ury department at Juarez, which was
among the offices seized, refused to
comment on the matter or make any
statement regarding it.
Shooting was heard in Juarez Tues
day night, which gave rise to rumors
that Carranza sympathizers had been
executed in Juarez by the Villa mill
tary authorities. These reports were
emphatically denied by the Villa Of
ficials and investigation developed
that the reports were false.
In the seizure of the offices and the
arrest of department employees, there
was little or no confusion or excite
ment and officials in adjoining offices
did not know what was taking place.
Residents of the city did not know
that anything extraordinary had &C.
Cured in the city during the day.
