Heads Merger

NEA

Projected merger of the Standard Oil Company of New York and the Vacuum Oil Company—involving nearly a billion dollars in assets —is headed by Herbert L. Pratt, (above) president of the former company. He may figure in the court fight, now in prospect, to test the legality of consolidating the two companies, which were units of the famous Standard Oil “trust” dis- _ solved in 1911 by a decree of the United States supreme court.

SENATORS IRKED BY TRAILING OF DRY WAR SPIES Counter-Espionage System Ordered by Solons in Washington. BY PALL R, MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 25—Precautions beyond those of wartimes have been put into effect in the senate wing of the United States Capitol because of complaints of numerous senators that they are being trailed by mysterious spies, it was learned | today. A special squad of plain-clothes man has been organized by David S. Barry, sergeant-at-arms of the senate, to police the galleries and lobbies and an investigation has been ordered by Republican Floor Leader Watson. The complaining senators believe the snoopers may have a connection with the recent charges made in the senate against the prohibition enforcement personnel. There also are reports that the spies are trying ; to ascertain if senators personally i are living up to the prohibition law'. The side door of the senate w'ing i has been closed and locked so that all those who enter must come i through a single main entrance where a uniform policeman always has been stationed. The senate’s own detectives follow' any strangers w'ho enter. Several weeks ago Senator Borah ißep., Idaho), who charged theprohition enforcement personnel was | “bad from top to bottom,” said he 1 believed his office was being watched. Later Senator Wheeler (Dem., Mont.), who joined Borah in his charges, made a similar complaint. Both offices are in the senate office

building nearly a block from the Capitol itself. At that time Attorney-General Mitchell emphatically denied his department was doing the sleuthing and said such spying would be “unthinkable.” The counter-espionage was ordered after Watson himself had reason to believe a mysterious stranger was hanging around the door of his office, which is in the Capitol, adjoining the senate chamber. Other senators have made similar complaints. While this quiet drama of spies and counter-spies is being enacted, a prohibition truce has been signed until March 10. the date the tariff bill is expected to be passed.
