Black of Western Petroleum Call- ed “Flagrantly False.” Declaring charges made against it by Thomas S. Black of the West- ern Petroleum Company of Chicago were “flagrantly untrue,” the Stand- ard Oil Company of Indiana yester- day filed requests for hearing with the Senate oil Investigating com- mittee. The Stanflard Company declared in | its request, made by Harry A.| Daugherty, its general attorney, that 1t desired to produce witnesses to re- fute the testimony given by Black &t the final session of the committee's inquiry into conditions and prices in the oll Industry. In this testimony Black charged the Standard of In- @iana, by whom he sald he was em- ployed for twenty-two years, with price fixing. “The charges made by Black,” sald the Standard Company in {ts requeet. “are flagrantly untrue that the Standard Oil Company of Indlana can- not permit theru to stand on the rec- ard unchallenged.” Standard of Indlana aseerted further that the charges made by Black were “manifestly made for the purpose of prejudicing the Standard Company in the eyes of the public and embarrassing it in the conduct of its business.” Never Company Employe. Declaring it was sure the committee desired to have before it ‘“the exact facts in regard to the transactions, con- <erning which Black testified,” the com- pany said it was prepared if hearing Was given to show the following: That Black was never at any time in the em- ploy of the Standard Oil Company of (ndiana. Chairman La Follette of the Senate oil investigating comittee, received yes- terday and promised to refer to the full membership of his committee, 2 request made by Clayton Townes, president of the Cleveland city council, that the com- mittee’s inquiry be reopened to go_into the arrangement made by the Hope Natural Gas Company of West Vir- sinfa, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, for applying &as to the East Ohio Gas Company. ‘The last named company sells gas to consumers in the Cleveland territory. Members of the committee, pending a meeting, refused to say whether the hearings would be reopened, although indications were that the 'committee would vote against a reopening. A meeting is expected to be held by the committee within a few days. 3 BODIES TO OBSERVE WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY | A joint celebration of the 191st an- niversary of the birth of George Washington will be held Thursday anorning at 10:30 o'clock in Memorial Continental Hall, under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the Revolu- iion and the Sons of the American Revolution. .

The convenience and necessity of continued operation of the govern- ment hotels on the Union Station plaza is evidenced by the fact that a waiting list of 189 now desire admission to the hotels, Mrs. Sarah E. Sumner, manager of the government hostelries, said to- day. The Baltimore and Ohio rallroad, owner of the property on which a major part of the bulldings consti- tuting the hotel group has been erected, has asked the government to vacate the property by April 1, charging that rent has not been pald on the property since November 14, 1922, Comments om Situation. “While I cannot say what change would take place in the rental situa- tion in Washington 2 result of closing of the hotels,” Mrs. Sumner sald today, “it appears to me that the need for the hotels is evidenced by the waiting list of girls who wish to make their residence hers. We now have a waliting list of 189 girls who wish to procure accommodations at Our rooms are fuil to the limit, and there at the hotels. The buildings on the property which the rallroad company requests be va- cated include the power plant and the laundry, two most vital parts of the hotel machinery, Mrs. Sumner said. ‘Their removal would cripple the ma- chinery of the hotels, and, according to Secretary of Labor Davis, might necessitate abandonment of the en- tire project. No Request for Funds. The Labor Department, with supervision over the United States Housing Corporation, manag- ing agency of the hotels and other government housing property in ‘Washington, has made no specific re- quest to Congress for funds to con- tinue rental payments on the prop- erty, it was said today at the Labor Department. From an authentic source, close to the Secretary of La- bor, who is out of the city, it was de- clared that the rallroad company might not want to accept back rental due, in view of its attitude as shown by ‘the correspondence between the Labor Secretary and C. H. Moran, real estate agent of the rallroad. ~The railroad requests the government to vacate the property by April 1, and does not hint that it will give an ex- tension of time in case the back rent is forthcoming. WIFE SUES POLICEMAN. Wade H. Trice, a member of the White House police, has been sued for a limited divorce and alimony by his wife, Lydis May Trice. She charg! crueity and says her husband; bran- dishing his revolver, threatened to throw her out the second-story win- dow of their home. He has not con- tributed to the family support since January 15, she says, and advertised that he would not be responsible for bills unless contracted by himself. They were married April 2, 1304, and have two children. ~Attorney Camp- are now 1,879 guests charged TOVISITING NURSES Gift Adds to Efficiency in -Handling Cases in Qut--.: Iying Seotions. WORK GROWING 'APACE Additions to Staff Neasly, Offset, However, by Expansion of City. One of the most ardent and long- deferred hopes of the Instructive Vistting Nurse Bootety is realised. It has an sutomobile. It s & cosy sedan, given the orgat- isation outright by & sympathetic and nerous rhember of the board of managers. The value of this aid, ofi- alals of the nursing organization state, in reaching scattered cases and in minfmising the time lost in trans- |4 portation, cannot be overestimated. It is planned to put the new car to work in some one definite sparsley isettled district, and without a doubt its, utilisation there will be equiva- lent to an additional nurse, for the nurse who enjoys its facilities can do twice as much work.

Not infrequently has a nurse walked a mile or two to reach her patient after leaving the street cer. The current grip epl- demic has added to this burde: Tdeally, each unit covered by & nurse should be a small one. whereint she can be a familiar neighborhood figure, known to school and church and citizens’ association as well as to the co-operating encies. When nurses are few, districts must be arge and such intimate contact is impossible. Washington, it is claimed, and the claim is backed up by figures from other citles, is undermanned in public health nurses.
