DOHERTYPROTEST HUCHESOL STAN Magnate Says Counsel for Petroleum Institute Is Un- fair in Report. By the Associated Press. President Coolidge's Oil Board re- celved toda ment from Henry L. Doherty New oil magnate, which he took sharp issue with con- tentions of former ! ry of State Charles Evans: H now counsel for members of the American Petro- leum Institute, who held that the Nation’s oil industry will best be served by self-regulation and avoid- ance of Government interference. The Doherty statement, made public by Secretary Work, the board’s chair- man, was offered in rebuttal to views of Mr. Hughes, given at a public meet- ing of the board in May. Counseling the board against either delay or “an attempt to pre- maturely Issue a report,” Mr. Doherty advocated a conference of “from 10 to 20 of the leading petroleum technologists of the country in con- nectlon with the Government experts to fully discuss and agree, if possible, upon the advantages which will be wsained and the savings which will e made by changes in our present meth- ods.” Urges Round-Table Study. He also suggested a round-table gathering to “get down to brass N as 1o just what is true” in an oil re- port of the committee of eleven of the institute and in ®he Hughes' state- ment. There is a great deal contained in Judge Hughes’ brief in opposition or in denial of things which I have never urged and which no one else ur. Doherty said. “I whether Judge Hughes that the Fex Go power to legi: not know in telling you rnment has no < ding the pro- duction of oil, iy ing from his own study of the or is simply adopting the views of the oil lawyers. He brings up no argument that they have not brought up. “Judge Hughes' conte: Federal Government production within the very sweeping statem the rol not_borne out b; qualified belief "t power, under the visions to provis defense, to legis Congres: onstitutional pi for the common regarding the production of oll without stretching the powers granted to it one lota.” Charging that - Mr. Hughes lacked understanding of many important features and was unfair in his. posi- tion, Mr. Doherty said Mr. Hughes ‘'did not invite or request me to con- fer with him on this matter,” and that the Hughes statement was appar- ently nothing more than his own re- arrangement of the matters handed him by the oil lawyers. The report of the committee of eleven Mr. Do- herty termed “hopelessly inexact’ and pointed out that Mr. Hughes fre- quently quoted it. ‘With remedial legislation, Mr. Do- herty claimed for his conservation program the conserving of natural gas, recovery of much larger quantity of oil and the creation of “huge ground reserves of oil that would be available and could be drawn upon in event of war.” WALES MOVES SWIFTLY IN QUEST OF PLEASURE Plays Golf, Hastens to Paris for Dinner, Then Proceeds to Favorite Haunt, Biarritz. By the Associated Pres, PARIS, September 1.—The British are satd to take their pleasures sadly, but_the heir-apparent to the British throne ‘certainly takes them strenu- ously. The Prince of Wales, arrlving in Paris from Boulogne late Monday afternoon, swiftly made his way through a dl etly admiring throng at the railway terminal, leaped into an automobile, sped to the St. Cloud Country Club and put in a round of golf with Frederick Bate of Chicago, former member of the American dele- { gation to the reparations committee. Afterward the prince dashed back to Paris, hurriedly ate his dinner and departed by the night express for his favorite haunt, Biarritz. Wales intends to do a little explor- ing of the lesser-known regions of the Pyrennes Mountains in his own automobile, which has been sent down to Blarritz. Never try to drill a hole in a bake- lite or hard rubber panel without first providing a starting dent for the drill with a center punch. Without such a punch mark the drill will ‘‘walk” all over the mngl, i matter how care- 1 1d_t! McCormick Medical Colleze Gradi Dr. CLAUDE S.

When the tug finally dld succeed in passing a hawser to the steamer and assisted it to dock, the grim old chief seemed to heave a tremendous sigh of relief as he stepped out on the Jetty.
