IS TOLD IN SPEECH T. S. Cooke of Standard Gives Clear Explana- Criticism Condemned in Reducing the mechanical and chemical processts used in the re- fining of crude ofls to basic essen- tials and expressing these opera- tions in simple, untechnical terms. T. S. Cook, superintendent of the Rocky Mountain division of the Standard Qil company of Indiana, last night delivered one of the best and most understandable talks ever ae by) the Wyoming Petroleum Starting with the crude petroleum ‘from Salt Creek which he main- tained was practically without’ value to consumers of oil products in that state, Mr. Cook ably described the present day means used by re- fineries in breaking the crude into various products that differ tn use and composition. Other matters brought before the attention of the Petroleum club last EARLY LAMB SUPPLY TO SHOW DECREASE Falling Off in April, May and June Will Be Followed by Heavy Supply During Juy and August, Forecast. tion CHICAGO, March 12.—Consider- eble\decrease from last year in the market supply of early spring lambs in April, May and June is indicated by present conditions in the prin- cipal early lambing areas, according to.@ report issued today by the United: States Department of Agri- culture., The supply in July and August promises to be larger than that of last year. The greater part of the supply of spring lambs in April and May comes usually from California, Ari- zona, Kentucky and Tennessee. Conditions in all these states except Arizona are less favorable than last year°as regards production, and it is possible that the foot and mouth situation in California may cut off all supplies of live lambs at eastern markets. Im June early lambs from the corn belt begin to move in volume and there are usually some receipts of early lambs from Idaho and Oregon. Conditions both in the corn belt and in the northwest indi- cate a larger lamb crop than last year and with favorable apritig weather the June movement from this region may be larger than that of last year. Conditions in California have been generally unfavorable for the early lamb crop, especially in the south: ern part of the San Jasquin valley where rainf«ll has been only 25 per cent of normal and there ‘has been little pasture or green fed avail- able. There it has been necessary to fed all stock on dry feed, and Commodity Bruit ATLANTA, March 12.—A survey completed Tuesday showed that the ‘cold wave thru the Georgia peach belt. Monday did not damage the ‘crop to any great extent. State en- stemological experts declared buds ‘were: not, sufficiently advanced to be very susceptible to a freete. The cold snap is expected to set the crop back @ week or more. FORT WORTH, March 12.—Full extent. of the damage to the fruit crop of east Texas by the freeze Sunday night probably will not be ‘known for several days. The crop prom! to be a record one until the'freeze came. a Lumber NEW ORLEANS, March 12.— Production at mills of the Southern Pine Association last week decreased 1 percent over the week previous. Orders increased 3 per cent and ship- ments*decreased 2.4 per cent, Orders on hand Monday totaled 257,108,342 feet. 4 Cotton Goods BOSTON, March 12.—Altho the Amoskeag mills have curtailed work in some departments, operations are about 75 per cent normal. The print Works of the Pacific Mills has resumed operation of its fifty print- ing machines on a three day week basis. + on HOUSTON, March 12.—Produc- tion inthe Salt Dome and South ‘Texas districts averaged 97,120 bar- rels dail ylast week, a decrease of 5,000 barrels heavy crude produc- tion was 79 000 barrels a decrease of 2,200 barrels. Gross production of gulf coast pools in February was 701,272 barrels compared with 173,880 barrels for January. PONCA CITY, Okla.; March 12.— Northern Oklahoma now is under- going an active leasing campaign. Drilling is being resumed on many wells that had been shut down dur- ing the dull season. PORTLAND, March 12.—There is fh decrease of fully 25 per cent in the supply of cattle available for the Oil Industry Resolution. evening had to do with the report of the publicity committee which included a resolution taking excep- tlon to the great flood of con- demnatory publicity thrown against the ofl industry as a result of the Teapot Dome investigation and ad- vocating action on the part of the American Petroleum Institute in publicly counteracting all unfair and uninformed attacks. In addition, Ernest Marquardt, chairman of the committee, read a Paper intended for the press of the country” This paper told in concise terms of the history and the actual Tesults of the development of Tea pot Dome. Both resolution and publicity matter on Teapot were favorably received by the club and it was voted that both be accepted and used at once. . from some sections com reports of a serious shortage of feed stuffs and of considerable losses of both lambs and sheep. In Iowa sheep have wintered well and there probably will be some in- crease in the number of early jambs. There has been plenty of ‘winter feed in Idaho and sheep have wintered well, Weather con- ditions have been excellent, espe- clally in February, when the bulk of the early lambing takes place. Indications are that the early lamb crop will be than last year and with continued favorable con- ditions the loading\ in June will be equal to that of last year, or larger. In Oregon the winter has.-been one of the most favorable ever known and sheep are in excellent condition. -The early lamb crop is somewhat larger than last year and the June shipments will at least equal last year's. In ‘Washington few early lambs are loaded before July. The early crop is estimated at between 5 and 10 per cent larger than last year’ and sheep and lambs are in the best condition in years. Winter feed has been abundant and pros- pects for early range are good. In Arizona there will be from 40,000 to 60,000 early lambs for mar- ket. There are 40000 in the south- ern valleys that will begin moving | shortly after April 1 and continue through May. An additional 20,000 of January ‘ambs from desert bands may be available if needed rains come to make desert feed.

DETROIT, March 12—Ten auto- mobile companies have increased thelr retail prices within the last thirty days. Several other compan. fes are reported to be contemplating similar increases. J. D. Dort, presi dent of the Dort Motor company, de- clared today that it was logical to expect further price advances, since nearly all materials entering into the construction of motor cars were on the upward trend. Makers of popular priced cars were particularly justi- fled, he said, because of their small profit margin. Building permits last week totaled $5.41 0 com. pared with $3,406,490 the previous week and $2,011,344 the correspond. ing week last year. The large in- crease was due to the filing of plans SENATE PROBE (3 UNDER WAY (Continued From Page One) from Smith, she said, her relations with him were “friendly.” “They had always been friends,” said the witness of Smith and the attorney gencral. Smith always tried to support her, she continued, after the divorce in November, 1910. He made payments in sums of $500 each, When Smith and Daugherty came to Washington, she said, they lived for a while in a house belonging. to E. B. McLean. She said she was informed they paid no rent. Mr. Howland objected to the line of Senator Wheeler's questioning, but the senator declared he did not intend to be controlled by counsel. “I waut you to understand you're not going to bulldoze me,” said Wheeler, “You're here by the cour, tesy of the committee,” “T expect I'll find my place,” smilingly responded Howland, after disclaiming any intent to bulldoze Pie: Wheeler. “Counsel for Mr. Daugherty are expected: to give large amounts of silence until your time comes. to cross examine the witness,” put in Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona. Resuming, the witness said, her divorced husband frequently visited her at Washington Court House, Ohio, after he came here in 1921, and communicated with her almost every day, “by wire, letter or tele: phone.” He told her “quite a lot” about his affairs here, she said. She esti- mated that after he came to Wash- “was worth between $150,000 and $175,000." When Smith died, his former wife said, his estate was worth “approxi- mately $250,000." He had “more money” after he came to the capital, and was “more liberal” in his payments to her, she said. Mrs. Stinson’s voice broke when she told of Smith's suicide in Mr, Daugherty’s apartment. She told of his will giving $25,000 to her and | making bequests to Daugherty and his brother. “He was in constant fear of be- ing closed down upon,” sho ‘said, describing Smith's statements her just before his death. wanted to shield Harry Daugherty in every way," she said. “He said ‘I can’t stand this intrigue, but I've got to stand by Harry! Smith cautioned her “what to tell, what not to destroy,” said sobbing. “I haven't told any one,” she inued, She declared her former husband had been offered the position of comptroller of the currency. While in Washington, Smith, had no official position and had no lary, Mrs. Stinson said, but made joney in his department store in Washington Court House. been approached many times in the last seven months but not she con- tl ve Ldresses for a $3,000,000 addition to the J.

NEW YORK, March 13,—Oppost- tion of various trade interests to the word “glo: the new generic name for artificial silk, has resulted in the appointment of a special com- mittee of the National Retail Dry Goods Association, to find another name.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 12.—Fire companies collected premiums ag- sregating $7,021,735 in eight princi- pal Minnesota cities Jast year. The 1923 losseg in these communities totaled $5,175,682 in 1923. I'm here to defend him,” she said. “Why should a man be besmirched for what his friends .have done?” She said she know “this would have to come” but she told Mr. Daugherty sho would not tell any- thing voluntary. She then declared she was told of money made by Smith in “Dempsey fight films.” Smith told her, she sald, of the Dempsey films, saying that “wo have a big thing” and that the right to display them “meant about $186,000." By the term “we,” she said, she understood Smith to mean himsel: and “Harry Daugherty.” . Asked about some stock’ trans- tions, she said Smith was given “some stock to put in the market quickly and quietly” at. different times. NAN IS VINE CHICIDE SEEN (Continued from Page.
