The taking of tes timony In two suits brought by the state of Missouri to oust the Standard Oil com pany of Indiana; the Waters-Pierce Oil company and the Republic Oil company from Missouri and prevent the carrying out of an alleged pooling agreement among the coin panics mentioned was begun here today before Frederick W. Sanborn, a spe chil commissioner appointed by Governor Folk. Herbert' 8. Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, conducted the state's case and attempted to show from the witnesses In troduced that the Waters-Pierce and Re public companies were In reality but sub sidiary concerns of the Standard Oil com latny, the Indiana branch of which non ducts the Standard's business tn the west. During today's healing there were a number of lively,' tilts between opposing lawyers, one resulting In a demand by the attorneys for the defendant companies that the testimony be taken down verbatim in long hund by the commissioner. Attor ney General Hadley agreed to this, saying that he could remain at the hearing as long as any 'one else.

CAGE STANDS WITH SHAW Former Secretary of Traurj Appro! Currency Plan af 6tcce$or. WOULD SLIGHTLY MODIFY SUGGESTION Frank A. anilerli Thinks Mr. PrhlaTe Reninrka Do ol Refer tn the Immediate Situa tion In Markets. NEW YORK. Jan. 5 Ionian J. Uage, former secretary of the treasury, said to day that he agrees with Jacob H. Schlff In the opinion that a great panic 4s Inevita ble unless steps are taken to remedy the inelasticity of the existing currency sys tem. "I aaree nositivelv with Mr. SchifT." "aid Mr. Oage. "that the monetary conditions I which have existed In this country du-in ! the last six days arc disgraceful to us as a J nation and I further agree with him that a stunning panic is lint a matter of time Unless something Is done. The more promptly and effectually this Is done the better for us. "In my opinion there Is no Immediate danger, but the danger Itself Is apparent, and If the country sits passive tinder exist ing circumstances the country will suffer. 1 don't understand bow any thoughtful financier can fall to recognise the peril. "I see Mr. Schlff objects to Secretary Shaw's recommendation of an emergency circulation of heavily taxed bank notes, holding that such a plan would facilitate speculation rather than the legitimate In terests which stand In need at present. I may say that I believe Secretary Shaw's Idea an excellent one with certain modi fications. With these modifications I be lieve bis proposition would provide a cure. I on Record. "I do not care In the short space of a newspaper Interview to go Into details," continued Mr. Gage. "My views today are views which I have entertained a long i while views which are embodied in re ports made by me as secretary of the treasury and in bills already offered In congress. I believe the work of securing proper legislation to relieve the present circulation conditions is a high public duty of the president a ery high duty." Frank A. Vanderllp, vice president of the National City bank, said today he believed Mr. Schlff's speech had no application to the Immediate situation. "Had Mr. Schlff thought," said Mr. Vanderlip. "that there was any present danger he certainly would not have regarded this as an appropriate time to call public attention to that danger. He Is undoubtedly right that In some time our Illogical currency system will cause trouble. It hus caused trouble In the last fix weeks, but the Indications are that the trouble ts alfout over." A. Rarton Hepburn, president of the Chase National bank and former comp troller of the currency, criticised Mr. Bchiffa plan as being Impracticable and unsafe. "Certainly something has to be done." he ndded. "We have no government bank to fall back on and some way of Improv ing present conditions must be found." Schlff Ksplalna His Plan. When Jacob H. Schlff was Informed this afternoon that his plan has been criticised as Impracticable he said that perhaps he had not made himself thoroughly under- t stood. He said he had no Idea of trying to in flate the currency by issuing paper money agalnst the commercial paper already In the banks, but his Idea was merely to make more secure tho plan nlready advo cated by Secretary Shaw. Mr. Shaw's plan, he said, was a proposal to let each national bank Issue fin per rent more currency than It now issued without any aecurity whatever. Mr. Pchlff said he merely wished to have that extra B0 per cent of currency secured by the commercial paper in the hunks. Mr. Beh'.ff adds that lie would not to' to work out the details of the general plan he had In mind But he reltrrated that un less some sound scheme of stretching tin currency In times of need were found by the national government the next panic would be a disaster worse than the United States ever bef re experienced.

Instead of apiiearing for trial, however, she did not ansaer to her name, and the $5 collateral which was put up for her at the house of detention was declared for feited. In a statement made tudu.r by Assistant Secretary U. I-'. Raines ut the White House concerning the ejectment of Mrs. Morris yesterday from the executive offices Mr. Barnes stated that after Mrs. Morris' ar rest nhe produced an envelope, ar'nt i i-hsccl to the president, which she asked to have delivered to him. This envelope was found to contain a lengihy poem on the aubject of Insomnia, which she said was her own composition. She stated to the officers that nlie had nut slept for seven iilKhis past. The statement concludes as follows. "There is no truth whatever in the state ment niuilc by many of this morning's pa pers that a negro laid hold of Mrs. Morris and assisted, in carrying her. One of the colored messengers of the office followed the policemen and gathered up such small articles as were dropped in the woman's struggles, but there was no other founda tion whatever for the statement " SENATORS-WAIT FOR MILLARD Vol bin a to Be Roue with Canal Ap pointees lull!
