OIL HEARING IS RESUMED
Commission Takn Testimony in Gate of
" Missouri Acalnst Allseed Combics.
WITNESS ADMITS STATE WAS DIVIDED
Mead of Standard Oil Company of In
diana Takes Stand avnd Explains
Arrangements Between
Ostensible Rivals.
yfEW YORK, Dec. 18. Proceedings
brought by the state, of Missouri to oust
the Standard OH Company of Indiana, the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and the Rapub
lie OH company from Missouri were re
umed before Commissioner Robert A. An
thony today. The hearing which began In
this city several months ago had been
adjourned to several cities and was re
sumed here that the Standard OH company
might present testimony in rebuttal. The
witnesses examined today were J. A. Mof
fntt. president of the Standard Oil Com
puny of Indiana, and Walter C. Teagle,
who is connected with the export depart
ment of the Standard OH company.
By Mr. Moffatt the company attempted
to show that there was no restraint on
the oil trade and that the Republic and
Waters-Pierce companies were independent
companies. By Mr. Teagle, formerly vice
president and general manager of the Re
public Oil company, It was attempted to
show, that the company started out as an
independent concern. The hearing will be
continued tomorrow.
J.- A. Moftatt, president of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, was the first wit
ness called. He was questioned by Mr.
Hagerman. Replying to a question as to
whether there is an agreement as to the
restraint of trade between the Waters
Ploroe company ajid the Standard OH com
pany of Indiana In Missouri, the witness
replied that there la not. that there exists
simply an agreement as between whole
saler and retailer. He said that the two
concerns had divided the state between
them to a certain extent.
'How has the business of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana grown 7"
"It has grown on from year to year,"
replied the witness. "We began to dis
tribute oil as retailers in 1003. We did not
begin to market it in Missouri at first."
When the company entered Missouri the
same kind of an agreement was made.
This agreement was a form of providing
for fair dealing as between Jobber and re
taller, he said.
Memory of Witness Poor.
Mr. Moffatt on cross-examination by At
torney General Hadley declared that the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana sold oil
to any person who wss able to pay for it.
He could not, however, recall the names of
any persons to whom the company had sold
oil in Missouri other than the Republic
Oil company, the Waters-Pierce OH com
pany and Mr. Williamson, who, he said,
occupied certain territories in the state of
Missouri which the Standard respected. He
did not know that Independent dealers had
ever applied to the Standard for a supply
of oil.
Mr. Moffatt said there was no arrange
ment of any kind between the Standard
OH Company of Indiana, the Republic OH
company and the Waters-Pierce company
for the making of prices.
Mr. Hadley asked Mr. Moffatt if the
officials of the Republio Oil company were
not practically dummy officials and If
George B. Wilson, at one time president of
the company, was not a stenographer In
clpse touch with William Rockefeller's of
fice In Htm Tork.
"I don't know exactly." replied the wit
ness, "but I believe something like that
was the case."
He added that he had never seen the In
corporation papers of the Republic OH com
pany.

NEW YORK. Dec. 18.-Georg Sutton Mill
holds the world's championship at 18-2 balk
line billiards, having tonight successfully
defended the title, which he won from
George Slnesori a few months ago, against
the challenge of Willie Hoppe, who holds
the world's championship at the 18.1 game.
The contest, which took place In the big
hall of the Grand Central palace, was
rather disappointing, ss young Hoppe did
not pTay up to the standard expected of
him. He was the favorite, but from the
beginning seemed to be off his play and
In only two innings did he show anything
like his championship form. Sutton Jumped
Into the lead at the start with 107 and 50
In the first two innings, securing an ad
vantage which the younger player could
not overcome. Sutton was in fine form.
but at times he seemed 111 at ease.
Ora Mornlngstar of this city challenged
Sutton tonight for the 18.2 championship
and Sutton agreed to play him In Chicago
thirty days hence. Sutton also challenged
Hoppe tonight for the 18.1 title and this
game will be decided at the Madison Square
garden here three weeks after the Chicago
game.
Sutton Opens With BIsT Ran.
When the 18.2 billiard championship
match between George Sutton and Willie
Hoppe began tonight the hall was sparsely
filled, but the billiard world so far as New
York City Is concerned, was well repre
sented. Hoppe won the bank, but failed to count
on his opening shot, leaving the balls in
nice position for Sutton. The latter then
treated the spectators to one of his pre
mier exhibitions of close nursing and held
the ivories together until he passed the
century mark. He missed a short spread
draw, which ended a run of 1OT.
Hoppe found the ivories widely separated,
but he began a series of open table plays
In brilliant style, only to slip up on an
easy shot when he made eleven.
Sutton found the position at the bottom
rail Just to his liking and clicked on 60.
Hoppe sent back 13, but he, too, missed an
easy one, the object balls not belntf six
Inches apart and In good position. Poor
innings followed on both sides until Hoppe
made 14 and Button 26 In the seventh In
ning. The score then was 191 to 47 in Sut
ton's favor.
Hoppe made 17 in the eleventh Inning and
Sutton missed. Then Hoppe missed and
Sutton ran up a cluster of 47.
Hoppe began to show his speed and con
trol In the thirteenth inning, falling on a
hard spread draw after a run of 62.
Id his half of the thirteenth inning Sut
ton made a splendid run of 97. In his
ninety-eighth shot, the two white balls
were' frosen near the bottom rail. After
they had been spotted he failed to score, a
kiss knocking the second object ball out
of the way. Six by Hoppe, followed by
a well earned 43 by 6utton, left the scare
391 to 139 In Sutton's favor at the end of
the fourteenth inning. Hoppe Just got a
nice position on the long balk line nurse
when the balls were frosen and he missed
for a run of i. Sutton did not count In
his half of this inning.
llsppr's High Ran.
Hoppe found bis stroke at the outset of
the aUletutb lonjug and he nursed tnt ,
balls in and out of balk for over thirty
points before he got them in the long line.
Here he played them along until they
broke badly In the center and lined up.
He played two two-cushion banks and was
going at a faat pace when he missed a
left-hand single cushion carom for a run
of "8. Sutton did not tally and Hoppe was
then 241 to Sutton's S91.
Sutton ran 37 in tlia seventeenth while
Hoppe made 17. When Sutton stopped he
left Hoppe a difficult lineup which Hoppe
missed on an attempted bank and the
Ivories rolled Into a nice position for Sut
ton. Sutton made 22, bringing his total
up to 450 in his half of the eighteenth
and Hoppe opened the next Inning with a
cipher. In the nineteenth Sutton ran his
score up to 600 and won.
The score:
Sutton 107, 50, 2. (S, 0, 1, 25. 4. 0, 9. 0,

Kearns Captain of llellevne.
BKU.EVUEE, Neb., Dec. 18. (Special.)
The Hellevuo foot Ihi.11 team today unan
imously elected William Kearns, 'Ort, cap
tain, for the season of 19n7. Kearns has
played center on the 'varsity team three
years, each year improving to such a de
gree that he Is now ranked an the best
center In Nebraska. On defensive work
he is particularly strong and Is at all
times a tower of muscle and brawn. Next
year Is Kearns' lust year In college, and
lils election to the captaincy Is a fitting
honor to him. Ex-Captain Grant Benson,
who iandUd the team so well this yeir,
absolutely refused to hear of re-election,
and Ben Benson, although nominated, re
fused to run ug.'ilnMt Kearns. The best of
feeling was shown at the election, no one
having a cause for complaint, as all were
unanimous that Kearns was the 1- uicnl
candidate for captain. According to Couch
Whitmcre, the outlook for a fast team
next year Is already bright, many of the
old players having signified their Inten
tion to return. Then Drown, the punter,
who played on the 'varsity team in 04 anil
'o6, is expected to return next year, and
his presence Is expected to give an awlul
Impetus to the teatit.

Tenney has stubbornly refused to take part
in Sunday ball games, often weakening his
club when on the road, as the National

it is his duty to give all the strength he
