ILLEGAL DEAL FRAMED BY Waters-Pierce Attorney Too Rank Even for John D.'s 3Ian Beaten at Law, He ; Proposes Same Old Shi in New Guise Spurned. (Retrst Sen by Longest Leased Wirs.) '.. Kansas City, Feb. 20. Frank Hager man, counsel for the Standard Oil com pear, ttil afternoon confirmed a state ment by Governor Hadley at Jefferson City at noon today, that be, (Hager- man) nacl oeen approacnea oy uuinryi .. for the Waters-Pierce Oil company with tha idea of reorganization of the coin- iwiny so that the ownership of the stock i would remain practically a now held, but so- that Pierce would still control the company. . . Governor Hadley's statement thnt such a plan had beert formed created great excitement in oil circles. Hagerman declared the recommenda tion made to him by Attorney H. 8. Priest of St. Louis, representative of the Waters-Pierce company, rewarding the severance of the Waters-Pierce and the Standard companies, was that the : Standard should place Its stork hold ings tn the Waters-Pierce company, in the hands of others to hold for It. but i that the voting; power be vested in Pierce. . A similar plan. Hagerman said, had been tried In Texas, where it was held to be a subterfuge and a Judgment of ; euster was entered against the com pany, Hagerman said he told counsel for 'Pierce that such a plan, or any other which would ' put Pierce In apparent control without in reality -changing the ; ownership, would be considered by the ! courts and the public illegal. f Governor Hadley, in hi statement, dl ' recti y say he always has found Hager i man a man of his word, and. by lnnu ; endo declares he cannot say aa. much 'of the attorneys of the Plerca com- pany. , ... . .. Governor Hadley Is Ironical In the ; short interview and refers to the plan J to conceal tha ownership as a "con : ventional" one, referring to tho decla- ration of Judge II. S. Priest several (years ago that "bribery, is a conven t tional ffense.'v - ' ' Attention is called by Hadley to the ; fact that the proposed plan, made by : the Pierce Interests for Missouri 'is identical with the ona that got H. Clay ; Plerca Into all of his trouble, in Texas. The, governor said: i 'Judge Priest insists' that I should '. give the suorce of tnv Information. I i am entirely willing to do- so. I - was given this Information bv Frank Hager- man of Kansas City, the . attorney of ' record of the Standard Oil company of .Indiana, and of the Republic Oil com : pany." . .. ' Efforts to obtain a statement fnvm W .Clay Pierce In St. Louis were fruitless.
