TO REQUEST RECEIVER FOR FOUR STANDARD CONCERNS Independent Dealers Will Be Assured of a Square Deal Then, He Says. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—A report based on apparently authentic infor mation was current here today that the department of justice will reopen the entire Standard Oil case and make a complete investigation of the charge that the oil trust has violated the man date of the United States supreme court ordering its dissolution. NEW YORK. Sept. 20.—The arrest of John D. Rockefeller and his asso ciates in the old Standard Oil Company for contempt of court and the appoint ment of a Federal receiver for each of the former Standard subsidiaries may follow the disclosures being brought out in the hearing 'of the Standard Oil- Waters-Pierce suit, now going on be fore Commissioner A. L. Jacobs. This course of procedure was threat ened today by one of counsel tor the Waters-Pierce Company, which is being sued because it refused to recognize the election as directors of men whom it charges represented the old Standard crowd, seeking by this method to re gain control of the company. "It is astonishing that the govern ment officials could be so easily taken in a- to believe there ever was such a tning as a dissolution,” said this at torney “Every bit of evidence so far vi"duced has shown that in every one "f the old subsidiaries of the Standard Rockefeller and his associates still own a controlling interest, and that not one of the subsidiaries has tried in any "■ay to increase the of Its busi ness. contenting itself with doing busi ness in the same territory in which it I worked before the dissolution order 'ante from the supreme court. Dissolution Only Change of Names. "The only change that the dissolution order brought about was the resigna | tion of some of the old directors of ■ the subsidiaries and the immediate filling of their places by men chosen by Rockefeller and his associates. 'Not only has the Standard evaded ■ i' < <>urt ruling as regards dissolution, it began evading just as soon as the Federal action was begun. The ’fate of Texas began action against the Security and Corsicana Oil Companies, operating in that state. When the courts finally ordered that the concerns fie dissolved, it was found these com i Panles no longer existed—that almost ''mediately upon the filing of the suit name was changed to John C. > Co. and later to the Magnolia Petrok urn Company. Before we have finished examining 'finesses in this case, we intend to s fiow. through the testimony of wit ■""■•'e. Bnrl the records of the different ’diary companies, that the dissoht " tkt was never carried out. With tacts in out possession, we will '•'sent them to the court and ask. as facts warrant, for the jailing for 'tuenipt of Rockefeller and his asso -I,ps and the appointment of a re -1 so that the independent oil deal !imy be assured of a square deal."

A crash of china catne from the adjoining room, wherein by skillful African hands the dish washing process was being carried on. Here and there in the dining room sat I a belated customer, engaged in talk ing to his fair waitress rather than in [ finishing the delicious meal for which 1 he supposedly had come to the restau rant. The other waitresses, numbering among them some of the prettiest and most charming of Atlanta's daughters, sat around the dining room or grouped in little clusters in the corners, telling each other whom they had served and what this customer and that one had said. No waitress in a down-town restau rant who had been on her fee.,t all the long day could have shown more real pleasure at the relaxation that came when the luncheon time was over. Dainty feet that never tired at the long hours in the ball room were ready now for rest, and there was only joy that the meals had been served for the day and that Joseph Habersham chapter of the Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution would not require their services until next day. The debutante who was asked how it felt to be a waitress seemed to think that her look around the room and the sights that it pointed out had been sufficient to satisfy any queries. But the questioner waited. "How does it feel?” she said again. "Why it feels like- like—why. just like I this!” And she dropped into the rtear ; e-t chair The evident pleasure at ; being ensconced tn a comfortable chair toid the story plainer than words could have expressed, i Out-of-town visitors aided the wait oojses today.

Caterer Holds Plate Glass Keeps Out Insects WHAT IS A SCREEN DOOR? What is a st-reen? This question today Is puzzling city officials. Tht puzzle grows out of ths city health law requiring screens in restaurants, fruit stores and other such places. Peter Brown, Greek proprietor of the Arcade restaurant. 38 Peachtree street, raised the question and has set the wise ones guessing. Brown holds that plate glass doors are screens—better even than wire, screens and hence has been operating his Peachtree restaurant without the customary wire screens. The city ordi nance stipulates that "screens shall be provided to keep out flies and other insects.” There's no provision as to the kind of screens to be used Brown says the dictionary describes a screen as a "shield.” and that, there fore, plate glass serves the purpose Dr. Van Dyke's View Different. The (list to take issue witli Brown's construction of the law was Dr trthur H. Van Dyke, chairman of the" sanitary committee of trie city council and member of the board of health. Dr. Van Dyke construes the law on screens | I to mean wire screens pure and simple, j ami accordingly instructed Health In spector Wasser to make a case against Brow n. And make a case against him every day his place is w ithout screens, too. I I He can't defy the law this way.” added 1 Dr. Van Dyke. When Inspector Wasser informed Brown he would have to make a case against him, the restaurant man agri d to removi the plate glass and substi tute wire screens rather than to face a long fight in the court to test the point. As he was »> persistent for a time, however, Dr Van Dyke insisted that the case be made, and this was done. In tin meantime. Brown substituted wire screens, and they are now' doing tegu lar duty. When Brown was arraigned for trial yesterday afternoon in police court. In specto Warner -xplained the whole simalion to Recorder Pro Tern Pres ton and said that Brown had removed ■the plate glass within an hour and a half after being notified. Brown Is Dismissed. The inspector also explained that after making the case he consulted City Attorney Mayson and asked him for a ruling on the screen law, as to it# meaning. The city attorney held that wire, cloth or anything that would keep out flies would be construed as a screen, but said he hardly thought plate glass doors would come under tha.t head. Judge Preston said Brown had done all that any person could do by remov ing the plate glass and substituting w ire screens, and dismissed the case. Asked by the inspector for his rul ing on the law, Judge Preston also held that plate glass doesn’t exactly fit the meaning of the law, although be ad mitted that literally plate glass is a screen and a good one at that. His Definition of a Screen. Judge Preston said the law evident ly contemplated a screen with ventila tion, but. a close perusal of the ordi i nance failed to reveal any reference I whatever to ventilation. Brown's contention as to plate glass doors is based mainly on the idea that such doors measure up to all require ments of the law -keeping out flies and j also oilier Insects, He say s wire screens keep out files, hut let in other insects that might be dangerous to health. "A wire screen." he argues, "might keep out a fly carrying a deadly germ and at the same time admit a mosquito to bite a customer and maybe kill him." I nder the official ruling, however, the wire screen will continue to flourish. 1,134 TURKS AND ARABS BURIED AFTER BATTLE ROME.
