CAN'T DODGE GUARD When He Leaves His Hotel Two to Four Men Follow ° Him Constantly, By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, June 24.—Sir Weetman Dickinson Pearson, who was created a peer in England yesterday in honor of King George's birthday, spent the day here, trailed by detectives wherever he went. Sir Weetman is just, now perhaps the most dreaded enemy of Henry Clay Pierce of St. Louis, head of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., a Standard Oll concern. He and Mr. Pierce have figuratively locked horns in a struggle for supremacy in the oil industry of Mexico. The detectives are cone believed to be in the employ of Pierce, or of some of the Standard Oil interests. They have dogged FPearson’s footsteps for more than a year, both here and in Mexico, and even in England, Pearson’s home, It ig likely that they will keep on dogging him until the commercia) struggle between Pierce and his trade rival comes to a close, Shadowed by Detectives, Pearson, who is well known to many New Yorkers for his connection with the building of the Pennsylvania Rail- road tubes under the river to Manhat- tan, came to New York June 14, taking rooms at the St. Regis. He had scarce- ly been in the hotel an hour before several young men took up their stations outside the hotel. Two of them stationed themselves on the steps of the o!d Harriman rest- dence, just across the street at Fifty- fifth street and Fifth avenue. Two more took up the vigil on the Fifth ave- nue side. Two others appeared in. a taxicab, which drew up in front of the Hotel Gotham, nearby. There the six detectives remained un- til Pearson started down town. There was a signal from the two men on the Harriman house steps. The _ taxicab started forward, and as Pearson went ff in another taxicab the two detec- tives followed. Reports Sent to Mexico. This has been repeated very time rPearson has put foot outside of the St. Regis. While he is inside the hotel some of the detectives wait outside, night and day. And it is said that each aight when Pearson is safe in bed a full report of his goings and comings ‘or the day is flashed in code over the telegraph wires to Mexico. The struggle between Pearson and the Waters-Pierce interests is an in- teresting chapter in modern commer- cial wars. Several years ago Pearson built the Tehuantepec National Rail- way, which stretches across Mexico from the Pacific to the Gulf. It does the work on land which the Panama canal will do by water. The rallway was built for the Mexican Government, but Pearson has been operating it since it was completed. In 1907 Fearson and his associates became interested in Mexican oil wells. They acquired several gushers and built refineries near by. At that time the Waters-Pierce Oil] Co., had practically a monopoly of the oil business in Mexi- co. The company had then, and has now, an investment of about $10,000,- 000 in refineries and other oil plants in Mexico. But the Waters-Pierce in- terests were not producers of crude oil to any extent. They depended upon the Mexican Petroleum Co., and a few other concerns for their supply of crude oil. Supply of Oil Limited. . When Pearson and his associates en® tered the field they took away from the Waters-Pierce interests every source of supply except the Mexican Petroleum Co. At present the Waters-Pierce con- eern finds itself in the position of be- ing unable to obtain more than 2 bar- rels of crude oil a day from the Mexican Petroleum Co. That is about one-sev- enth of the amount it requires. The oth- er six-sevenths has to be transported from the United States, and a duty of $4.59 a barrel paid when it crosses the Mexican frontier. It is a serious handi- cap in the struggle against Pearson and his associates. Pearson interests recently bought sev- [| en new wells in four districts in Mex- ico which had never before been ex- ploited. Four of them were gushers, two flowing wells and one a ‘‘pumper.”’ By this stroke Pearson assured himself a supply to meet the demands of the Mexican markets, with enough left over to do a large export business, NO STATEMENT OBTAINABLE FROM CLAY ARTHUR PIERCE As H. Clay Pierce is in Wisconsin with his family for a summer outing, his son, Clay Arthur Pierce is the only author- ized spokesman of his family in St. Louis. Efforts to reach him at his home and at the office of the Waters- Pierce Oil Co. were unavailing Friday afternoon.
