Representatives of the Carter, Inland, Ohio, E. T. Wil- liams, Mutual, Midwest Oil, Wyomtnwould leave only the wells required to Associated, Mountain % Gulf, Kinney- Coastal, Producers and Refiners, Fens: land, Glenrock and others were pres- ent and all appeared to be of the opin- fon that an equitable plar could be worked out and all were fuvorable to suggestions made. It was agreed that it was to the best interests of all concerned that all un- necessary drilling be eliminated, which hold the leases and the necessary off- sets for protection, thus holding down expenses of operation and further over: production which can not be handled by the present pipeline facilities. Each company operating in the field was asked to make a map of its hold- ings, showing the wells drilled and drilling and carrying such other infor- mation as would be necessary to make a decision as to the number of wells necessary to be drilled. A meeting at wnich every leases holder-in the field is asked to have a representative pres- ent, is called for Casper on September 20 at which time these maps will be assembled and it is hoped that a plan agreeable to all concerned can be adopted. eee, It is believed by those actively inter ested that ‘the meeting will result in the suspension of drilling new wells in the field at least through the win- ter months, and that by spring a greater portion of the production now available can be hahdied by those pur- chasing in the field, which will tend to raise prices for the crude. $50,00C HAUL stler, said to be a New-York jeweler, & restaufant on upper Sheridan’ Road 000, according to reports to the police.

EVACUATION ASIA MINOR. BY DEFEATED ARMY I HELD ASSURED Greek Forces Fleeing as Refugees as Result of Overwhelming Defeat by Turk Nationalists PARIS, Sept. 8.—(By The Associated Press.)—Rumors that King Constantine of Greece intends to abdicate are current in several Euro. pean capitals. They are con- sidered here to have been given « eolor by the suddén recall of Greek heir apparent, Prinee George, to Athens from Bucharest. King Constantine's abdiction is garded here as an increasing possibi! ty, particularly as it is considered the only method of gotting former Premier Venizelos, Greece's war time leader, to ernment, make an effort to restore Her in Greek affairs and regain a part or- of Greece's lont prestige. ATHENS, Sept. 8.—(By The Asso- ciated Press)—The evacuation of Asia Minor by the Greeks a8 a result of the successful offensive against their army by the Turkish nationzlists, accepted here as a foregone conc! sion, although it has not heen an- nounced officially.

A telephone message from th Greek commander in the field, says that General Tricoupis, who has been appointed to the command, and -Gen- eral Digenis’ tere captured by Tur- kish cavalry while they were procecd- ing to join the Greek corps at Ala- shehr east.of Smyrna. The taking of these generals with their staffs was not connected with the ‘reported loss of their army corps, ficcording to seemingly reliable information, this corps eventually retreating toward Alashehr. The Third army corps, which sut- fered the least from the nationalists pressure, retreated toward Brusa and consequently doubt is cast upon the reports that Brusa has been evacu- ated. That Brusa had-been occupied by the nationalists was denied hero today and it was declared the Third corps had given up its position there Refugees from Smyrna are already arriving here. Eight hundred were brought into Piraeus, the ‘port of Athens. 2 General Hadjanestis, the deposed Greek commander, ha. been — given Permission to remain abroad two months.
