Nine directors of the $750.000,000 concern, and their chairman, Col. | |Stewart, went into session high | |above Michigan avenue in the board | room of the big Standard Oil build- ing. Beyond the announcement that | the meeting would transact routine | business, there was no indication of {the preparations that were being | made to resist Rockefeller's cam- | | paign to have Col. Stewart removed as chairman. It was learned. however, that Stewart had brought back from New York a renewed confidence that he would be able to marshal enough proxies at the March 7 stockhold- ers’ meeting to retain his position. Awaiting Stewart here after his two-day invasion of Rockefeller's own territory were thousands of Stewart proxies which had been mailed in to Edward G. Scubert, president of the company. Seubert and the other officers are hacking Stewart against Rockefeller because of their confidence in the colonel's integrity and the phenomenal growth of the company under his adminis- tration, DRUNKS TELL JUDGE THEY FEARED ‘LU’ Whiskey and Quinine, Home- made Remedy, Lays Them Low of | | Fourteen drunkenness were disposed of by Judge M. 1. in poliee court today, including 1 Iof several veterans, a few “periodic fals” and least one first offender. | Ktarting Saturday forenoon and con tinuing until yesterday afternoon, | | policemen in several parts of the [city were busy sending in calls for | the wagon.” and in almest every in- | | stance there was no question about. | tie condition of the imbibers, and all | pleaded guilty when arraigned. | | Michael Ryan, who has a long| vecord, admitted that he had been hout the for the past several | days without a place to lay his head, nid Sergeant Fecney'and other po- |ticemen had him housed in a local “lmlfi! twice last week so that hr‘ | would not frecze to death, He asked | for a chance to go to a soldier's home | Maine (bt Judge Baxe et hiov o farm. | ‘ormick, former coun- . called at the police station | esterday to give few sandwiches | to Ryan, who is his half brother, but hefore a policeman could deliver the lunch, MeCormick dropped in front of the desk and had to be inta a cell. e told Judge I had not bheen feeling v el] 4 der fo fight off ilness, he waded into a =tiff dosc of whiskey and quinine, | Instead of knocking out his ailment, | it floored him.
