LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 11. —The fourth annual meet- ing of the American Petro- leum Institute opened here today with approximately 1,000 representatives of the leading off companies, representing an estimated capitalization of al most $2,000,000,000 in attendance. Delegates expressed the opinion that the United States will be de- pendent upon Europe in the future for some of its ofl supply and that the country has suffered from an over-production of crude ofl. This over-production in the United States has obscured the fact previously that vast oll fields were being opened in foreign countries, according to the oll men, and that American com- panies should enjoy the “open door” Privilages accorded foreign compan jes in the United States. The belief also was expressed: that recognition of Mexico would have a benefictal effect tpon the oll industry. tect S) - ERIE, Pa., Dec. 11.—Ten railroad men, the crews of two sections of the New York Central's Twentieth Cenfury, limited when the fast train was wrecked on a grade crossing neat Forsyth, N..

Pinkerton Was Real Friend of LOS, ANGELES, Callff., Dec. 11.— William Pinkerton, one of the own. ers of the Pinkerton National Detec- tive agency, died here this morning at the Hotel Biltmore. One of the first noted American criminologists to advocate and prac- tice humanitarian methods in deal- ing with fe!ons,"William Allan Pink- erton, was credited with having re- formed more safe blowers and bank thieves than any. other man in the country. Primarily a thief-taker, Mr. Pink- erton spent more than 50 years of his life running down criminals of all classes, yet he always stood ready to proffer a helping hand to the un- fortunate malefactor whose repen- tence was genuine and whose desire to reform was sincere, Knowing criminals. and their methods, their weakneSses and their human side as perhaps no other man of his time had known them, Pinkerton never sympathized with the theorist and the sentimentalist iwho sought to reform desperate, hunted men by kind words, but he did know that a little help and a little encouragement at the right time and in the right p'ace were ; frequently more effective than im- | prisonment.. Scores of former crim- ina's scattered over the country are now living honest and useful lives jas a result of the reform measures (Continued on Page Ten) 9 BELOW ZERO - THIS MORNING Nine, below zero, the coldest weather this winter, was the record of the official thermometer at the court house at an early hour this morning.
