This means considerable delay, and In the
opinion of officials hero Jeopardizes the

the Mexican situation.

night that the request for more time is ali

FOUGHT STANDARD OIL.
u. G. Pierce Now Controls the
Waters-Pierce Company.

The Wat0s-Nerce oil Company. of
which Henry Clay Pierce is president. was
dominated at one time by Standard Oil.
The Standard Oil Company OF New Jer-
sey controlled about two-thirds OF It's
stock
When the question OF the dissolution OF
Standard OH was before the United States
Supreme Court the Waters-P Pierce COM
pany attacked it before the Department OF
Justice. asserting that Standard oil was
trying to ruin its business and had caused
great losses.
The quarrel OF the two companies was
composed by the Standard selling out its
interests to Henry Clay Pierce. who now
owns about nine-tenths of the stock of
the Waters-Plerce Oil Company, valued at
So. 600. 900.
The Waters-Pierce company, both be-
fore and since the days OF its divorce from
Standard Oil, has waged a great war in
the Mexican oil fields with the Pearson
syndicate.
IL has been charged that the two revo-
lutlons in Mexico are essentially the out
come of the fight between the two big oil
enterprises. Many saw in Madero's sue
cessful revolution a triumph of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company over its English
rivals. Gen. Huerta has been supposed
to be partial to the Pearsons.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-29

phatic denial was made to-day BY the
Mexican delegation OF tire allegation that
big business was behind Gen. Huerta
and his delegates to the mediation con-
ference. Senorcs Babasa and Rodriguez
ridiculed the suggestion that they repre-
sent the Cowdray interests. Senior Rabasa
said
I'VE are the repres .ntatlves OF the
Mexican Government. The interests we
are here for are those Of the Mexican
people and the republic OF Mexico. The
mere thought that we are acting here on
behalf OF any commercial interest Is un-
worthy OF denial"
Senior Luis Eiguero was particularly in
Gems d over the allegations contained in
tho article mentioned. Special reference
was made to him in view OF the fact
that he Is chairman OF the board OF d.
rectors OF the National Railways OF
Mexico

Senior Elsuero, pointing to the article in
which he was mentioned. The statements
concerning the Constitutionalists I do not
wish to discuss, but 20 far as my col
leagues Senior Rabasa and Rodriguez, and
myself are concerned II Is ridiculous.
Senior Elguero added:
"rhe correspondence published in tho
Herald contains illusions to me which
are entirely incorrect. 7 have never be-
longed to any political party In Mexico.

Mr.. Pierce wanted done rs told above.
Hopkins got no further with the negota-
tons. Carranza undertook to remove Gen.
Villas director OF railways and put Al
berto PAM In his place. although 1t does
not appear that this was because Car
rama had reached an agreement with
Pierce and Hopkins, who wanted PAM in
the job. Gen. villa resented this move OF
the First Chief and insisted that Calzado.
his own railway director, be retained.
This was one Of the factors in the quarrel
between Carranza and villa. On this
point villa had hie way.

Hopkins goes on:
Il acquainted Mr.. Pierce with the pur-
port OF the mission of Mr.. Cabrera and
he authorized me to bring the latter 10
him. After introducing Mr. Cabrera Mr..
Pierce lost no time and spoke directly 20
the point.
"He referred to the corruption which
had controlled the National lines for 30
many years--to the scandal of the Gov
eminent and the detriment OF the share
holders-and of his desire to see the prop
erty managed in decent and conservative
manner.
