NEW YORK, 8ept. 1.—Fallowing
the revelation that United States At
torney General McReynoIds had been
counsel to the National Fuel Gas
Company, a Standard Oil concern, in
a scheme to circumvent the “seven
sisters” act of the Sherman anti
trust law', the New York Press to-day
prinfi^ the following:
Washington, Aug. 31.—That
James C. McReynoIds soon will
resign as Attorney General of the
United States was a positive
statement made to-day to the
correspondent of the Press by a
Senator to whom McReynoIds ex
pressed this Intention.
Although he feels he has been
subjected to unjust criticism, said
McReynoIds to this Senator, he
also believes his presence in the
Cabinet is a handicap to Presi
dent Wilson’s administration and
he intends to retire from his of
fice.
“It is too much for me,” said
McReynoIds to his visitor, ‘and
I feel that I must retire.”
Says He Has Been M Go«t.”
As he further explained his po
sition he has been worried by
criticism of his conduct of the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific
* dissolution case, of the Dlggs-
Camlnetti case, of several of his
recommendations for appoint
ments and for his advocacy of
certain pardons, to say nothing of
minor affairs.
He maintained he has been
right in every instance and he
resents being made the “goat” of
the administration.
Attorney General McReynoIds stands
revealed as counsel for the Standard
Oil. He admits that while employed by
the Government to break the iniquitous
Anthracite Coal Trust, and while
under consideration for the high of
fice he now holds, he advised the Na
tional Fuel Gas Company how to cir
cumvent the “Seven Sisters” Anti-
Trust law\ This company is a $16,-
000,003 subsidiary of 26 Broadway.
More amazing still, the very law
that Mr. McReynoIds was asked to
circumvent is one formulated by his
present chief. President Wilson, then
Governor of New Jersey. Its express
purpose Is to crush just such monop
olies as the National Fuel Gas Com
pany.
In the company John D. Rockefeller
is chief stockholder. He owns 11,000
shares. William Rockefeller holds
3,195 shares: John D. Archbold, 1,275
shares.
Rogers Once at Head.
At one time Its president was H.
H. Rogers. Walter Jennings, a di
rector in many Standard Oil subsid
iaries, is now president.
President Wilson has publicly stat
ed that he would be glad to see a Fed
eral statute similar to the "Seven
Sisters” act take the place of the
Sherman law.
From the beginning of its career,
in 1902, the National Gas Fuel Com
pany went into the business of gob
bling up gas companies in northern
and eastern Pennsylvania and in
northern New York State.
Independent oil men, such as Pierce,
of the Waters-Pierce Company, de
clare it lias assumed such formidable

Dr. A. B. Hinkle To Be Sued by
Wife Following Family Row,
Prosecution Dropped.
MACON. Sept. 1.—No court proced
ure other than a divorce suit will follow
the encounter between Dr. A. B. Hin
kle, a wealthy Macon physician, and
his wife and son on Saturday night.
Although Mrs. Hinkle had the doctor
arrested on the charge of wife-whip
ping and the son sought the protec
tion of the Sheriff and asked for the
issuance of warrants, it has been de
cided that there will be no prosecu
tion.
Dr. Hinkle and his wife have been
separated for more than a week,
though living under the same roof in
their handsome home on Orange
street, and Mrs. Hinkle has declared
that she is going to institute a divorce
suit.
Saturday night Dr. Hinkle reproved
his 17-year-old son, James, for urging
Mrs. Hinkle to sue for divorce, and a
fight followed between father and son,
in which the latter won. He threw
his father on the floor and would not
let him up until he made certain
promises. In the melee Mrs. Hinkle
was struck In the face—Dr. Hinkle
says accidentally—and the doctor’?
80-year-old mother was knocked down
and sustained & broken hip.
The affairs created great excitement
in the fashionable section of the city
and an enormous crowd surrounded
the house. Two policemen dragged
Dr. Hinkle out, but released him at
Mrs. Hinkle’s request, after he hn«'
j agreed to appear in court. The crow
I threatened Dr. Hinkle, believing at
I the time that he had badly abused his
wife and moth^ and was only dis-
I persed upon tho personal plea of So
licitor General John P. Ross,
j An interesting phase of the situa
tion is that Dr. Hinkle’s property,
amounting to several hundred thou
sand dollars, is wholly In his wife’s
name.
Sickles' Romance
Recalled; Alleged
Son Takes His Name
NEW YORK. Sept. 1.—The romance
of the first marriage of General Dhu.
iel E. Sickles and his subsequent II-
voree after the killing of Philip Bar
ton Key, United States Attorney,
were recalled to-day by the news that
Alfred Summers Molyneux, a car oil
er on the Lackawanna Railroad in
Hoboken, has been christened as Al
fred Antonio Sickles, son of the war
veteran and Teresa Sickles.
Molyneaux often has maintained
that General Sickles is his father, de
claring that his mother hid the fact
of his birth, which occurred after the
divorce, and that he himself only
learned the facts when he was 21
years old. Molyneux now Is 55. -
Stanton Sickles, son of the general
by his second marriage, has aided thi
claimant in hts efforts to straight21
the tangle surrounding his birth.
Children See Steer
Killing; Protest Filed
are be
ing sought to-day by Hugo Krause,
secretary of the Anti-Cruelty Society,
in an effort to pr secute the pro
moters of a public butcherin'’' in For
est Park, a suL-ib, last night. Six
thousand persons, half of them wom
en and one-third of them children,
last night sat around a big arena and
watched the killing of six steers.
The fete was the annual cattle
slaughtering competition, advertised
as an “educational exhibition of mod
em methods of dressing beef.” Phil
Murphy, for twelve years champion
steer dresser, won first prize by kill
ing, skinning and dressing a steer in
four minutes.
