Senator Davis Attacks Rockefeller Over Arkansas Pipeline
Washington Feb 18 Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas aroused the senate with a harsh call to consign John D Rockefeller to perdition and burn him in flames from Standard Oil products during a debate over a bill to authorize an oil and gas pipeline across public lands in Arkansas. He accused Senator Owen of Oklahoma of ties to Standard Oil and opposed the pipeline as a violation of state anti trust laws.
