toraey-Graeral said that be feared ke
would b0 kia position if ki identity
became known, but ke wUhed to help
the inveatigatioB and eo suggested
Corkhill aa a valuable witneee. Im
mediately upon its receipt Mr. Hadley
turned the letter over to Rutb Lake,
aitaat attorney-general of Missouri,
aad beforo the day waa over Mr. Cork
bill wa located.
"Mr. CorkhilL aaid the aitant attorney-general
"the Stata of M'waouri
ha instituted proceeding to show that
the Staadard Oil Company of Indiana,
the Watera-Pierc Oil Company and the
Republic Oil Company are all part of
the Standard Oil Tract I understand
that you know something about the
operations of these companiea and I
desire to call you aa a witnea."
"Sure." said Mr. Corkhill. "TVyYe
all at 2d Broadway. While I waa with
Mr. Bemia all thir report paed
through the office. I dont know about
testifying though. I guess you had
better talk to my lawyer."
The lawyer re'erred to wa called
iqto the conference and said be could
aec no reaon why Mr. Corkhill should
not tell what he knew. He advised,
however, that hi client think it over
during the night. Thia was agreeable
to both parties, and aa engagement was
made wheaeby Mr. Corkhill will meet
Mr. Lake thia afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
and accept service of the subpoena
which waa issued for him when Mr.
Hadley received the Information re
garding him.
"John D. Rockefeller waa the beat
friend the Standard Oil employee ever
had," Mr. Corkhill said, after hia talk
with Mr. Lake. He waa never too
buy to li-ten to you if you wanted
advice or anything else. While he wa
running thing it wa very different
from what it ia bow.
"Ye, if my attorney say so I will
tell all I know."
Whea new of the discovery of Cork
hill and what the latter aaid. was
brought to Attorney -General . Hadliy,
ha wa jubilant "Ha will make the
best witnesa w hare had." he declared.
"Thi obatructivo policy doe not al
waj pay. It appear to me, from the
day'a development that it ha had a
dintinct advantage. Of course I secured
the iiuance of a subpoena for W. K
Bemis without waiting a second. I
hope we catch him."
"I am rather under the inipretsion."
Mr. Ifadley continued, and referring to
the pohtponement of the heering je
terday. "that the attitude of the Stand
ard Oil attorney is dictated by the
belief that if they can stave off testi
mony taking until after the proceed
ing in the tupreme court I will be m
anxknt to get home that Mr. Archilmld
William Rockefeller, and other who
hav ben aulipoenaed and not jet
placed oa the tamL will ewwpe exami
nation, i
'I am anxioti to get home, but I will
permit no personal ooiixMeiiitli to
interfere with the Inquiry, Mr. Rocke
feller, Mr. Archibald, and all the other
Standard Oil men I ran catch, with the
witnexea outside of tha Standard
force will be examined before I leave
Sew York."
Mr. llagerman, who ha been the
head f the Standard attorney ince
th bearing before Special Commission
er Sanborn began, had no heitancy yes
terday ia admitting that in the event
of an adverse ruling by Justice Gilder
steeve, Mr. Rogers' case would lie taken
at once to the appellate division of the
auprema court
"Anything for debty," said Mr. Had
ley, whea he waa first told of thi,
"No matter how long it take though,
well get at the facts."
Attorney Genera I Hadley and Attorney-General
Mayer of this state had a
talk at the Waldorf last night Mr.
Mayer said that the meeting had been
purely social He wa deirou of

soon disappear. They settle the
stomach, regulate the liver and ex
crcise the bowels. Their good ef
fect are felt immediately.
Bcecham's Pills mingle with the
contents of the stomach and make
easy work of digestion. The nour
ishing properties of the food are
then readily assimilated and the
residue carried off without irrita
ting the intestines or clogging the
bowels.
Deecham's Pills should be taken
whenever there is sick headache,
furred tongue, constipation, sallow
skin or any symptoms that indi
cate in inactive liver.
