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 Continued on Page 2# Column 5. 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.

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.
