Aldrich, of the proxy committee, headed by John D. Rocke: feller, Jr. The letter sets forth in detail the connection of Colonel Stewart with the Continental Trading company and charges that he concealed from the directors of the Standard Oil Com- | pany of Indiana for six years that Part of the profits which had been turned over to him in the form of Liberty bonds “which he knew as carly as November, 1921, belonged | cither to the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur- chasing company or the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Tt goes on to say that Stewart “in- stead of disclosing this fact to his board of directors and turning over the bonds, immediately created a| secret trust making a subordinate | employe of the company trustee, and | did not himself keep nor did he re- ; quire the trustee to keep, any record | whatever of the transaction except | the trust agreement written in pencil | which wes kept in his (Stewart's) own | sefe deposit box.” STEWART'’S COUNSEL { TERMS STORY FALSE Chicago, Feb. 11—()—Col. Robert W. Stewart, through his personal at- torney, last night pronounced as “nothing short of a cowardly and dastardly libel” statements made pub- lic in New York opposing Col. Stew- art's reelection to the Standard Oil Company of Indiana's board of di- rectors. Albert W. Hopkins, the attorney, issued a statement which he said was in answer to two attacks upon Col. Stewart published in New York, one unsigned, the other by Winthrop W. Aldrich, New York lawyer, a brother- in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and chairman of the Rockefeller proxies committee secking Stewart's defeat at the stockholders’ meeting March 7. ‘Deceit Was Object’ The Aldrich statement was de- seribed by Hopkins as “a cunningly drawn document to deceive the stock- holders and the public,” and the law- yer further described it as “untrue in many places.” Col. Stewart's lawyer noted “the intermingling of matters with which Col. Stewart had no more to do than Aldrich himself, in an apparent effort to cas reflections on Col. Stewart.” This, Hopkins said, “is nothing short of @ cowardly and dastardly libel.” Hopkins was asked about the Ald- rich statement that Col. Stewart for six years did not tell about the bonds received in the consolidated deal. “That is not true, either,” Hopkins said. “Col Stewart told L. L. Steph- ens, general counsel for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana about them in 1924. He didn’t tell the rest of the board of directors because the investi- gation was on and because of the publicity, and he didn’t wish to put any further responsibility on the di- rectors’ shoulders.” | Stewart Wants Proof Regarding the New York statement that Mr. Rockefeller already held a | majority of stockholders’ proxies, Hopkins said: “We say that that is untrue, and ‘we charge them to prove it.” The attorney pointed out also that Dol. Stewart already had denied promising Mr. Rockefeller he would resign whenever the latter “mani- fests a loss of confidence in his «Stewart’s) management.” LINDBERGH REACHES HONDURAS’ CAPITAL ON TRIP HOMEWARD Yankee Lone Eagle Carrying 803 Pounds of Mail Back From Panama Relize, British.

Williams claimed that he held a} large razor rather than a gun during | the holdup, however, and a large razor was found in his possession when he was arrested. George Little may have a long wait for his $7, however, as Williams was pennilesa when arrested.
