Gasoline Prices to Climb During Winter and Spring CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Gasoline will cost more this winter and will be still higher in the spring, according to opinions expressed at the convention here of the American Oil Mens’ As- sociation. Supporting that bellef reasons ad- vanced were. By February 1, pro- duction of oil will be 500,000 barrels a day lower than it is now; present sirplus stocks will be wiped out by the close of 1924 unless there is a quick change in the situation; small independent producers, whose sur- plus production tends to keep prices down, will be out of business by win- ter if the depression in the of! indus- try continues.

PLEA MADE FOR CLIFFORD MANN (Continued From Page One) may be the means of saving hér Ufe."* Dr. Chalmers admitted that young Mann is a viclous character. “Clifford is not insane,” he said. “He is one of those types whose mentality is hard to place, Per- haps !t could be best described as feeble-mindedness. “From 1906, when I first knew him, until 1915, when he was 12 years old, he appeared to be normal. In 1915 he was working for a tent} show company when he became, @uddenly ill. He was stricken with @ form of meningitis, and for weeks was unconscious a good deal of the time. When he recovered I could seo a change in him. He became sullen, irritable, He delighted in annoying those about him. He was vicious when disciplined in school. He got behind in his studies. “I know of one Instance of my own experience. He compelled 2 S-year- old child to tamper with my avta- mobile, threatening him with disem- bowelment If he refused to carry out his commands. On anofner occa- sion he got hold of a pistol and, fol- lowing a quarrel with his prothur, killed the brother's pigeons, literally} tearing them to pieces while they were yot alive, His little siate: remonstrated; he beat her. Armed With the pistol, he took refuge in a \hed and defied capture, Nelghbors ‘nally induced him to go into the house, where he grew subdued and penitent. “At times his mental faculties were extremely sluggish, He ap- parently was mentally defective, He was sent to a home for the feeble minded, but escaped, then wandered about until he committed this ter- rible crime in Wyoming.” Prosecuting Attorney Michaels was to haye appeared before the pardons board Wi ay but was prevented ¥ railroad ‘blockades from reaching The board will be re ed when he arrives. He may be accompanied to the capital by George Schwerdtfeger, widower of Lwit Independent corapanies spent more drilling wells last year than they re- ceived from selling the oll, accord: ing to E, W. Marland, president of the Mariand Refining Company of New York. Seyeral years ago, he said, the independents produced 86 per cent of the oll and now not more than 25 per cent is produced by them, the major companies and the Standard Oil company controlling the balance. He said the Standard Oil company was the greatest con- tructive force in the industry, which the public and producer needed, but the Standard needed a “healthy, in- dependent cooperative marketing refining and producing system. the ranchwoman Mann killed be- cause Schwerdtfeger had not paid him wages which he claimed were due, and others, who will requeet vpportunity to appear before the beard. "Mann originally was sentenced to be hanged September 4th, but a stay of execution was granted OPENS IN COURT (Continued from Page One.) week ago after under the governor’: capitol. National guard officers and mem- bers of the governor's state police force are defendants in the proceed: ings. a lengthy fight is predicted. Mem- bers of the legislature have declared they will take the case to the United States supreme court if necessary. Until! a final decision is rendered, however, they have pledged to essay no further meeting. Hearing on an application to make permanent the district court injunction obtained yesterday by Governor Walton to prevent the state election board from certifying returns from Tuesday's election to the secretary of state, is set for October 9. The governor, charging that the lection was controlled by the Ku lux Klan, predicted in a statement last night the “greatest political battle since the civil war’ during the next 60 days. Legislators, leading the impeach- ment move, replied with a denial e I that the klan {s an {ssue in Okla-|,. homa. Belated returns early today con- tinued to give a decisive majority | for the smendment. Newspaper compilations from 2,- 142 out of 2,837 precincts in the state showed the vote: For 188,573; against 57,899. A soldiers bonus and four other constitutional amendments appeared to have been, defeated. N.Y. AVIATOR RACE WINNER ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 4—{By The Associated Press.\—C. 8. Jones of Garden City, N.

Sales approximated 850,000 share NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Resumption of short covering operations im- parted a strong tone to opening prices in today's stock market. Oils and rails led the rally. National lead advanced nearly two points and gulf States Steel, American Car and Foundry and DuPont each advanced one. New York Central yielded slightly tn reflection of a large offering of equipment trust certificates. A good inquiry also was noted for a number of the chemical, food and motor accessory shares. Profit taking soon made its appearance, however, “Big Four" dropping two points, Studebaker one, and Bald- win, Reading and Baltimore and Ohio yielding fractionally. National lead extended its gain to 2%, Cuyamel Fruit advanced two and the tobacco products issues, Strom- berg Carburetor, Davison Chemical, Loose Wiles Biscuit and Jones Brothers Tea were among the many issues to gain a point or more. Foreign exchanges opened irregular. Realizing sales and the putting out of new short lines also resulted in recessions of a point or so in Stewart Warner, Willys Overland preferred, American Woo! Famous Players, Sears Koebuck and Allied Chemical. The market displayed a firm undertone, however, and all of- ferings were well absorbed, The general list pointed upward again before noon, the recovery beinx nid- ed by a reduction in the renewal rate on call loans to 4% per cent. Baldwin, American Can, New Yori Central, Gulf St: Steel and some of the other active issues climbed above the high ficures of yesterday. A few of tho ordinarily inactive shares made striking gains, Jersey Central jumping ten points, Bayuk Brothers 7 and Nova Scotia steel 415.

The closing was irregular. The rally in active industrial issues flat- tened out in the late dealings when blocks of stocks were again offered by bear traders. Moderate strength was shown, however, by some of the public utility, sugar, tobacco and merchandising issues. Foreign Exchange NEW YORK, Oct. 4—Foreign ex- changes irregular.

Sell- ers pointed out that a reaction was to be looked for in view of the 8% recent upturn in quotations on the December delivery. Profit taking on the part of holders was a feature. The opening, which varied from un- changed figures to %o lower, with December 1.08% to 1.08%, and May 1.11% to 1.12, was followed by a material setback all around and then something of a rally. Sentiment was more mixed than of late, and the market was easily influenced but sustained buying was absent and the close was weak, %m to 1%c net lower, with Decem- ber 1.07% to 1.07% and May 1.11% to 1.11%. Corn and oats weakened with wheat. After opening at %c off to 440 up, December .75% to .76%. the corn market underwent a decided general sag before beginning to re- cover. Oats started at %c decline to %0 advance, December .43% to -43%. Later all months showed a loss, Old corn was again in demand with sales above 100 but new crop deliveries failed to develop strength The close was unsettled at one cent lower to one cent advance, December .75% to .75%.

Investigation proved it to be the sheriff's deputies pour- ing confiscated liquor into the North Platte via the city sewer system. In all two barrels partly full, seven five gallon kegs, and 387 quarts in gallon jars and bottles of various kinds started on the long route that will land it in the gulf via the Platte, the Missouri and the Mississippi. Inside the bastile, where ap- proximately 80 prisoners are stay- ing as guests of the county, could be heard wails and gnashing of teeth. As every fresh cork popped, a howl of agony went up from the parched throats of the ex-bootleggers, holdup artists and other members of the law break- ing gentry who have found {t im- possible to obtain their dally quid rations. The court order making po sible the destruction of the liquor was signed by Judge Rose yester- day morning. —_— } Liberty 3% Liberty First 4 Liberty Second 4% Liberty Third, 4% Liberty Fourth 44s ——.

MacFarlane, professor emeritus of botany at the University of Penn sylvania. Fish constitutes the hole source of petroleum, claims Dr. MacFarlane, who has just completed fifty years of research work to ferret out the source of the world’s oil supply. ,The scientist traces the origin of petroleum deposits to earthquakes and similar volcanic disturbances which, in early tim killed im- mense quantities of fish, changed the surface of the earth, and the boundaries of the oceans and fresh water bodies, “Extensive zones of fish remain that form fish beds and like strata jare observed across areas of the |northern hemisphere,” Dr. MacFar- lane said. “These remains are ral with rich bituminous oil products. Such rocks or strata |might be termed ‘producer’ rocks, | “By subsequent earth movements and resulting ofl migrations this oil FOREIGN.
