given today at the bearing of the
Waters-PIerce-Standard Oil litigation by
Kenneth Adams, assignment clerk of the
New Jersey company.
Adams was asked a series of questions
by S. M. Fordyce of St Louis, counsel
lor the Waters-Pierce company, in line
with the latter's contention that there is
no real competition among the various
Standard Oil companies.
"Do you receive st.ock reports of any
refinery other than refineries of the
Standard Oil of New Jersey?" Adams was,
)sked. .' '
"Not that I know of," was the reply.
"Have you assigned stations or terri- j
jory to refineries outside of the territory ;
of the New Jersey company?" .
"yes," said the witness.
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
j Waters-Pierce interests in the litigation
with the Standard Oil company, was not
at his office today when the hearings
were resumed and it was understood that
ihe had gone to Washington for a con
ference witli government officials relative
!to the possibility of reopening the dis
solution case against the Standard Oil
'company. Dispatches from Washington
said the government was closely watch
ing the situation.

' ' -WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Samuel JUn
termeyer of New York, attorney for the
house money trust grand Jury in
vestigating committee and for the
Waters-Pierce Oil company in its fight
with the Standard, conferred with Pres
ident Taft at the White house offices
today. Reports that the government was
watching developments in ."the Waters
Pierce suit surrounded the conference
with interest
Later it was said at the White House
that Mr. Untermyer and Edgar H. Far
Var, also of counsel for the "Money
trust" committee had asked' President
Taft to permit the "Money trust" com
mittee to draw upon the government de
partments for certain information they
want to use in connection with the
Money trust investigation.
It was said Mr. Taft asked them to
submit specific requests in writing and
promised to decide soon if he could grant
them. It was said that the Waters
Pierce Oil litigation was not discussed.
No engagement had been made for'Mr.
tlntermyer, but he was admitted im
mediately to the president's office,
though Mr. Taft had refused many en
gugements because his time waB so oc
cupied. It has been reported that testimony
developed in the Waters-Pierce case
might be used by the government as a
basis for investigation of how the
Standard Oil company is carrying out Its
decree of dissolution. Contempt of court
proceedings have been reported pending.
It ins known,' however, that Attorney
General Wickersham has been receiving
a stenographic copy of testimony in the
case and giving to' it his personal atten
tion. It has been understood that the
.government had been, investigating cer
tain specific complaints against the
Standard Oil company,' but any purpose
. of reopening the big trust case; was dis
claimed by officials. .

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23How best to
care for delinquent and 'dependent chil
dren and needy families was the theme
o fthe papers and addresses at the meet
ing of the National Conference of Cath
olic Charities today. Three sessions of
the convention were held simultaneously
during the forenoon at the Catholic uni
versity and this afternoon President Taft
received the delegates at the White House
and told them their presence "suggested
the passage we know from the Scrip
tures: "The greatest of all is charity.'
President Taft said there was no
greater, work being done for mankind
than chairty. The most experienced men
and women In Cathollo charity work in
the country were speakers on todayys
program. Mrs. . Thaddeus J. Meder, of
the Cathollo Women's league of Chicago
discussing "Necessary Legislation," ad
vocated an appropriation by congress ol
$500,000 for the suppression of the white
slave traffic and condemned the teach
ing of sex hygiene In schools.
"I am a bit old fashioned," she said,
"When it comes to eugenics and I offer a
prayer of thanksgiving every day that
my boy has been told the story of life
by his mother instead of by some school
inarm."
Mrs. Mary K Shinnick, probation offi
cer of Cincinnati, said it were better for
the state to support the home through the'
Juvenile court or some charitable state
agency and keep the mother and chil
dren together than for the home to be
broken up and the children placed in a
charitable institution. She urged that the
widows be pensioned by the state and
allowed to care for their own children, as
half a dozen states are already doing. .
Edwin Mulready, executive officer and
secretary -of - the Massachusetts Proba
tion commission, said that forty states
now had systems .of ' probation for chil
dren,, while ten years ago only six, "states
had such measures.' " -"' .."' ;"T "r'
He urged .state aid for sucK" workTand
said that many children "were in Juvenile
courts because of the misfortune of their
parents or other conditions over ; which
neither the children nor the parents had
any control. ". . ,'
; "The state must care'-' far and .educate
these children for its own protection and
safety," he said. .
Robert Biggs, prominent in charity
work at Baltimore, urged ., a more
thorough organization of Catholic chari
ties particularly in , the large cities.
' Patrick Mallon, probation ' officer at
Brooklyn, read a paper on "Desertion
and nonsupport." He urged that the
parochial schools of the Catholic church
ceuld be more fclpful than they are If
special attention were given to the educa
tion of girls regarding the responsibili
ties of motherhood.

President Refer
Newspapers Lawe to
Attorney General
WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-PresIdent
Taft has referred the recently enacted
newspaper publicity law to Attorney
General Wickersham for an opinion as
to what construction is to be placed by
the postmaster general upon the term,
"paid subscribers," and as to whether the
law Is to apply to publications circulated
otherwise than through the United States
malls.
The reference of those questions will
not defer the effective date of the law,
October 1. Postmaster General Hitch
cock said today the opinion would be
in hand probably In ample time to en
able the Postofflce department to give
to publishers before October 1, neces
sary blanks on which to make returns.
The American Newspaper Publishers'
association has protested to President
Taft against the law. Officers of the
association already have sent out to
publishers and editors circular letters
directing attention to the act and sug
gesting that steps be taken to protect
the publications from what Is regarded
as a censorship of the press.

DETROIT, Sept 23.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Charles D. Illlles, republican na
tional chairman, after several hours de
voted to conferences on the political situ
ation, left tonight of New Yark, where he
will meet President Taft and detail o
him the satisfactory progress of the cam
paign for his re-election.
"There is no longer much talk to the
effect that republicans will vote for Wil
son to assure the defeat of Roosevelt,'
he said. "There has been talk of that
character, but the pitiful showing thus
far made by the third term candidate
has emphasized his weakness "and clearly
indicated his position in the race as a
bad third. The oniy real danger is in
those states In which the republican ma
jority is small, where Colonel Roosevelt
hopes to attract enough support to him
self to deprive the republican ticket of a
majority. He entered the fight with no
other thought or purpose. It Is evident
from letters written by gentlement whose
authority to speak for him Is undisputed
that Mr. Roosevelt never expected to do
more than figure third in the race. He
went into the campaign for revenge, re
taliation and reprisal, because of the
mention In the papers filed In connection'
with the steel trust suit of his part In
the absorption by that corporation of IU
only real rival. His spectacular perform
ances are all timed and staged In the In
terest and for the benefit of the free
trade candidate of the demotyatle party.

ambition might be given fuller play, the
party rebelled. And, because it rebelled,
he raised the cry of 'stop thief when he
himself had been caoght with his hands
in anoteh man's pocket. .
"At the Chicago convention he and his
personal representatives framed op con
tests for delegates which were without
merit and absolutely fraudulent, and
Colonel Roosevelt himself smilingly ad
mitted It. And yet, when these contests
were decided against him, as they should
have been, he Bhowed himself to be an
advocate not of the square deal, but of
the loud squeal, and, on the pretense
that the national committee had robbed
him, he left the party at a time when

nese loan of $50,000,00 Is to be offered In
London for subscription on Thursday or
Friday of this week, according to Charles
Birch Curtis, head of the Anglo-Russian
bank; which has been prominent In the
negotiations. Lloyds' bank is supposed to
stand sponsor for the loan.
Though capitalists here have hesitated
to believe the independent group pf banks
has been able to cut the ground from un
der the feet of the "six power'' combina
tion of supporting the Hong Kang and
Great Britain, France, Germany Russia
and Japan, latest advices from Peking
appear to be convincing that the British
government has retreated from the posi
tion supporting the Hong Kong and
Shanghai bank as a result of the news
paper attacks, which accused it of back
ing a monopoly.
' The Issue of the independent loan is
largely due to the efforts of Dr. George
Morrison, former correspondent of the
London Times in Peking and now polit
ical adviser to the president of the Chi
nese republic. He spent a month in Lon
don conferring with financiers and politi
cians. '
