Senator Samuel H. Piles and other ).., r t Vi n Wnshinff-tnn delegation are working In harmony with Mr. Humphrey in an eiiori io navo mo quarters established here.

The new division is not yet established, but the Washington delegation in Con gress, according to advices received from Senator Piles, will make an effort to provide for It In the appropriation bill to be submitted later. There appears to be practically no opposition to the creat tion of the new district, as the lawmakers are satisfied that the Northwest is Im portant enough to be detatched from San Francisco and have an Independent division of Its own. - There are 2500 postoffices In the pro posed new division.

There was a long conference at the executive mansion tonight between Governor Had ley and Elliott "W". Major, the new Attorney-General, to discuss the unique proposition filed by the Standard Oil Cor.ipany with the Supreme Court yester day. Ordinarily, the Attorney-General would file a reply brief, but In this case the company does not attack the law, so the only thing that will be done will be to notify "the court that, If It takes tip the question of modifying the decree of ouster, the Attorney-General will ask to be heard with suggestions. . JS'ew Demands of State. If the court Is disposed to consider the plea for a modification of the Judgment of ouster, the Attorney-General, or pos sibly the Governor, acting for him, will insist upon two things: First There must be a substantial In crease Iir the fine inflicted upon the Stand ard Oil Company and its constituent companies. Second '.There must be provision for an effective plan of state supervision of the business of the Standard Oil Company, whether along the line suggested by the company or otherwise. The suggestions of the Standard's at torney to the court comprise 23,000 words, the principal 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 Indiana In this state. The stock of the new company, less enough shares for the qualification of dlrector3. Is to be Issued to two trus tees, one namod by the state and the other by the company, but both ap proved by the Supreme Court. These trustees are to act as officers of the court, and as such vote and control the stock 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 the J150.000 in fines against the com panies, and the supposition is that they are willing to pay these without fur ther controversy. The announced Intention of the com pany is to preserve the big Sugar Creek refinery near Kansas City. WATERS-PIERCE WllJi OPPOSt, Does Xot Want Its Stock Sold by Standard. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.
