THE OIL CASE NARROWED DOWN
TO EXCLUDE THE POLITICS
PRESIDENT RETURNS HOME
Exceptions Asked For By Defendants Attorneys are
Granted By the Court
Austin Texas Nov 27 The case
of the State of Texas vs the Waters
Pierce Oil Company was called for
hearing on Its merits at 10 oclock yes-
terday morning in the TwentySlxth
Judicial District Court Hon Victor L
Brooks presiding The cause or action
Is to forfeit the permit of the defend-
ant to continue to do business in this
State and to collect penalties aggre-
gating 000000
Last week was devoted in this court
to hearing of demurrers of the defend
and to the petition ot the plaintiff
TJpon the convening of court yester-
day morning and as soon as those of
the venire who had not been excused
were qualified as jurymen the Court
announced his ruling
The significance of the ruling of the
court is that
1 The case must stand or fall upon
evidence to be produced that the de-
fendant violated the antrtrust laws of
1S99 and 1903
1 2 The allegation was stricken out
that Pierce wasrestored to the presi-
dency of the reorganized company be-
cause of political influence capable ot
being exercised by his in Texas and
to which allegation Senator Ballej In
a letter to the Attorney General took
special exception as a personal re-
flection In ruling on this exception
the Court said
lam ot the opinion that so much
of the allegation as alleges he Pierce
was made president at that time might
be material but the grounds and rea-
sons why he was made president will
introduce an element in this case that
I can see no reason why it should be
Introduced in this case
3 The allegation was stricken out
that the fraudulent reorganization
having been accomplished H C Pierc
having been accomplished H C
Pierce came Into the State of Texas
with a large sum of money accom
pllshedthe settlement of the cases
pending in the State of Texas against

mit to do business in the State ot Tex-

Pleased With the Trip and With What
He Saw
Washington Nov 27 Completing a
remarkable trip to Panama during
which he had traveled seven thousand
miles by sea and visited not only the
Isthmus but Porto Rico as well voic-
ing his thorough enjoyment of the en-
tire voyage President Roosevelt
turned to Washington at 1042 oclopk
last night The trip up the Potomac
on the converted jacht Mayflower to
which he and his party were trans
without special interest
We had a very pleasant a very
enjoyable time and I am deeply im-
pressed with the United States Navy >
with Panama and with Porto Rico he
saidThe
The Panama Canal it was stated by
President would be the subject of a
special message and consequently on

nothing at this time
PRESIDENT RETURNS
The Man Who Does ThinQs Has
Seen the Canal Work
Washington D C Nov 2C Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected to return
to Washington this evening after one
of the most remarkable journeys ever
undertaken by an American chief ex-
ecutive He has traveled thousands
of miles by sea crossed the narrow
strip of land which separates the At-
lantic and Pacific where the Amer-
icas meet Inspected the work being
done on the great Isthmian canal and
incidentally shattered the tradition
that an American President must not
during his term of office visit any land
other than his own During his stay
on the Isthmus the President visited
the Republic of Panama and for a
time was under the protection of the
Panama flag On bis return voyage
he made a brief call at Porto Rico
Mr Bailey Commends Roosevelt
Washington Senator Bailey com-
mended the President for dismissing
from the army those negro soldiers
who participated In the Brownsville
riots He refused to discuss the pos-
sibilities ot making political capital
out of the Presidents action or the
statements of representative negroes
that they will support Taft for the
Presidential nomination in 190S be-
cause he suspended the order In
speaking on the subject Senator Bail-
ey said With a Secretary of War
who is a great lawyer A Secretary of
State who is a great lawyer and an
Attorney General who is sufficiently
great as an interpreter of the law to
be appointed to the Supreme Bench
I assume that President Roosevelt was
fully and correctly advised as to what
he might lawfully do I have no doubt
that the President would have applied
the same heroic treatment if the of-
fenders had been white troops I have
not talked with Senators or Represent-
atives from the South but in my opin-
ion they will support the President
