Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 3.—Attor- ney General Major has not decided whether he would recommend to the supreme court of the state the accept- ance of the novel proposition which the Standard Ofl company, through its attorneys, filed with the tribunal. The proposed procedure is said to be without precedent and state officers are puzzled by it. The suggestions to the court com- prise 25,000 words of matter, the prin- cipal point being the proposal that in lieu of the ouster decision against the company a new Missouri corporation be formed to succeed to the business of the Standard Oil company of Indi- ana in this state. The stock of the new company, less enough shares for the qualification of directors, is to be issued to two trustees, one named by the Standard and the other by the company, but both approved by the supreme court. These trustees are to fct as officers of the new company. The stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil company, now owned by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, is to be turned over to the new company also. Nothing is said as to the remission of $150,000 in fines levied against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the Republic Oil company of Ohio and the ‘Waters-Pierce Oil company of Mis- souri and the supposition is that the companies are willlag to pay these without further controversy. KIND ACT OF STEEL ~ TRUST PROFITABLE Said fo Have Netted Immense Sum by Merger Deal. - Washington, Feb. 3.—An astound- ing disclosure is said to be pending in connection with the investigation of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the United States Steel corporation. Copies of the last annual report of the Tennessee company have fallen into the hands of the members of the senate committee on judiciary. These reports contain the informa- tion that among the assets of the company are approximately 700,000, 000 tons of iron ore, valued at $1 a ton. The Coal and Iron company was taken over by the Steel corporation at a cost of $30,000,000. The transac- tion, it was stated by G. W. Perkins of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. was entirely -altruistic and was under- taken for the sole purpose of saving certain financial interests in New York from destruction and to stop the panic of 1907. This altruism, it is declared, netted the Steel corporation $670,000,000 profit by the value of the ore alone, to say nothing of the value of other phy- sical properties of the Coal and Iron company. ENTRANCE TO PANAMA CANAL Steamer for First Time Through Channel. Panama, Feb. 3.—The Pacific Mail steamer Newport used for the first time the new Pacific entrance to the canal, which has been dredged to a depth of thirty-five feet. Only a few persons witnessed the departure of the boat, which left the dock and steamed to the right of Naos island, ploughing through the water of the new canal. As the Naos breakwater is not completed the Newport had to contend with a strong current, but she kept a straight course and, gaily dec- orated with bunting, sped down the narrow way which in years to come is destined to become such a great high- way of commerce. 2 President-Elect Taft was not pres- ent when the Newport started on the trip and there was no ceremony of any kind.
