STANDARD DENIES
MISSOURI CHARGE
Reply to Custer Suit Says No
Antitrust Law Broken
in Oil Trade.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JEFFER&ON CITY. Mo. May 10
The Standard oil co. of Indiana today
filed it's answer to the state anti
trust law suit seeking To oust ii from
Missouri or have ii fined along VIII
the Texas Company, the White Eagle
OF and RefninG co. and the Standard
oil Co. of kentucky.
General denial was made of all
accusation entered in the Information
filed December Il, 1925. which marked
the resumption of litigation started
prior to 1909 The Standard Oil Co,
Of Indiana and other oil companies
were uuSted from Missouri in Su-
preme Court decision March 9, 1909.
Four years later the court suspended
tho writ of custer against the stand
ard Oil Co. Of Indiana.
In September 1924. the present
action Was initiated when the attor-
nev general filed a motion to Vacate
the order suSpendlnG the witt Of
custer.
The answer filed today denies that
the Standard Oil 60. of Indiana has
AT any time since 1918 violated amy
Missouri law. and that the company
never has entered into any agree
ments with the other companies
named, or any companies. which have
restrained trade, or established or at
tempted to establish a monopoly
The company also denies that there
IS restraint of trade in Missouri or
in any Of the 10 Central Western
States in which It operates.
The answer states that while the
Standard oil Co of Indiana had
virtually no competition in Missouri
in 1913, It now has more than 900
competitors and that competition In
Missouri and the United States has
inCrea sed to an extent not equaled
I'm any other industry.
Agreements referred to in the custer
action were called settlements of
litigation which actually enhanced
competition and which. making pos
sible the doubling of the amount of
gasoline recovered from a barrel of
oil. have assured constant and suf-
ficient supply of gasoline. The settle
ments had TO do with the Burton
cracking process. patented by the
Standard Oil Co. Of Indiana.
BY permitting other refners TO use
the Burton process. says the answer.
"the company has opened up and
made competition possible and has
voluntarily enlarged the trade op-
rortunities of its competitors, instead
of reserving all the benefits Of its
patents exclusively to itself, which
1t lawfully could have done"

The Pretender

Lou.Phi, the French pretender, is
dead his ashes urned, and never
knew the splendor for which he wildly
yearned. He had a dream of gaining
a throne that wasn't there, he had a
dream of reigning, which dream was
heated air. He sang and drank and
tWittered and spent his nights in
play: he loafed and fooled and frit-
tered the golden years away. Whlle
other men were lending their strength
to help the town, he just went on
pretending and dreaming of crown.
lis countrymen were working in
countless useful ways, ana some or
them were clerking, and others
growing maize: and some were
selling squasheS within the public
martS, and some. in cheap salosnes,
were peddling lemon tarts; ana ne
could see men vending 10 earn
the helpful bone, and he went on
pretending and dreaming of a throne.
lie might nave said, "Be jabers,
too long I've been shirk; and
nov I'll show my neighbors how

edged princes. though robbed of all
heir rights can grow as many ounces
as any other wights: the stubborn
glebe I'll tackle, and men who come
my way may hear my pullets cackle
and count the eggs they lay. With
fortitude unbending, I'll sacrifice false
pride. and cut out all pretending. and
let the sceptre slide" Then when
the prince was planted we might have
shed some brine. and dirges we'd
have chanted with sobs in every line.
We might. our garments rending, his
passing have bewailed, but he went
ON pretending until pretending stalled.

LOCAL RED CROSS DRIVE.

Mrs. F. B. Hooff has consented to
be Chairman of Red Cross drive. A
number of solicitors have been aps
pointed to canvass the town, and it
is hoped that when householders are
called upon. they will be ready to
respond to the call for subscriptions.
0ne-half of the S100 membership is
retained for local work and the con-
tinued maintenance of Community
house workers and visitors to sick
must depend on the response given
in this Annual Drive. If there are
any people in the county who will
help with the canvass, Mrs. Hooff
will be glad to hear from them, and
send supplies or give information.
1t would also greatly facilitate mat
tiers if county people, when in town,
will leave their subscriptions at the
Community House with Miss Selden.
The work will continue till Decem-
Der first.

wHIRLEY's BODY FOUND.

The finding yesterday Of badly
Geeomposed body of a man on the
kerns farm on the Shenandoah river,
east Of Berryville, creates a strong
belief that William Whirlev. farm
tenant. who shot to death his farm
hand, Archibald Armel. June 18th
last. carried out his threat TO kill
himself. This threat was made at
Wehhtown, eoloed settlement.
about two hours before Armel was
killed.
Alongside the body were y pistol
and shotgun, identified as Mhirley's
and two snuff boxes. Whirley used
snuff. The body was so badly de-
composed that Capt. John II. Enders,
undertaken and embalmer, declared
it was impossible to identify it. A
eoroner's inquest will be held today.
A peculiar co-ineident Of the dis
coverv of the body is that Sheriff W.
W. Smallwood and his deputy, Her.
bert Duke. were in Philadelphia, run
ming down shot tip" that Whitley
was in that city.
The shooting of Armel by Whirley
was one of the most shocking crimes
in the history of Clarke county. Ear
~ in the afternoon on the fatal Sat
urdav Whlrley and Armel had had a
fist fight. brought on BY Whirley
using profane language towards Mrs.
Whirley's wheat field. Whirlev was
tenant on the Thomas Reynolds
farm. He was a bachelor. Armel
worked for him, was married, and
Mrs. Armel kept house for both.
In this fist fight. Arme is said to
have given Whirlev a sound thrash
ing. The two men. however. made
peace later. That night Armel and
his family went TO Berryville TO shop.
Whitley walked through the fields to
Webbtown, where he borrowed a
gun and made statement that
flowers would be needed for him
soon.
When Armel returned home about
IL o'clock, he was met at the house
by binding flash from a shotgun.
He turned his car almost around
The buskshot. however, had entered
Armel's shoulder. Despite the fatal
wound. he leaped from the car and
yelled to his wife and children TO
jump and run Mrs. Armel rushed
to the Reynolds home and notified
them of the shooting. When DIR. G..
II. Iden, who was summoned, arrived,
Armel was dead.
No one saw Whirley fire the fatal
shot. He has never been seen since
the shooting. He was trailed tow
ard the Shenandoah River and the
Blue Ridge mountains. but there
track of him was lost. He carried
away with him his shotgun. The
Clarke County Circuit Court have
appointed commissioners to take
charge of Whirley's property.

RECOUNT ORDERED IN KAMA
VIVA COUNTY.

An effort to prevent recount of
ballots for E. T. England and j. Al
fred Taylor, Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress from
the Sixth District. failed Friday
when the Supreme Court denied
England's petition for a writ of man.
damus commanding the county court
of Kanawha county to issue certifi-
cate of the official returns without
going into a recount.
The official returns tabulated from
the precinct election officers gave
England 46.3O5 and Taylor 47.267.
Mr.. England contended that the
county court had NO authority to go
into the results of the contest for
Congress further than the returns OF
the precinct officers, and he cited ar
ticle /. section 5. of the United
States Constitution which grants
Congressional houses the. authority
to question the election and quailf-
cations of its members.
The writ. if granted, would have
compelled the county court to issue
certificates of the results to the
governor. which would have given
the Congressional seat to England,
or to appear before the court and
show WHY this should not be done.
The Court will, at the demand OF
TAYLOR. proceed with the recounting
of the ballots in the Congressional
contest
