Stewart as chairman of the board of the Stand- ard Oil Co. of Indiana has come from Howard E. Sutherland, alien property custodian. Mr. Sutherland by virtue of his office hoids the voting power of between 12,000 and 13,000 shares of Standard Oil Co. of Indiana stock, the property of Germans seized during the war, and he has announced that he has as- signed the voting proxies to Mr. Rocke- feller. . Both Ask Proxies. M¥. Rockefeller asked for the voting a"wer about a week lg‘o, and before . Sutherland made his decision a similar request came from Mr. Stewart. The alien property custodian made his decision known yesterday, saying that he had acted only after careful con- sideration. The stock is on deposit ;’ith the Equitable Trust Co. of New ork. The clash between the two capitalists s one of the many ramifications grow- ing out of the oil leases made by the Government. Mr. Stewart’s testimony before a Senate committee investigat- ing the Teapot Dome oil leases did not please Mr. Rockefeller, and he asked for Stewart’s resignation. This Stewart refused to do. 9,000,000 Shares Out. ‘There are more than 9,000,000 shares of $25 par value stock of the Standard | Oil Co. of Indiana outstanding, and both Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Stewart are supposed to be busy in an effort to gain control of the majority of these. Mr. Rockefeller is understood to be assured of the support of large blocks of stocks held by the Harkness, Flagler, and Rogers estates and of other Stand- ard Oil companies, while Mr. Stewart's principal suport is expected to come from the stock held by the 38,000 small shareholders and the employes. — Swarthmore College will send an ex- pedition to Sumatra, Dutch East In- dies, to observe and photograph the In addition to the opportunity for mental betterment offered by the gen- eral reading rooms, the technical divi- sion of the Public Library is proving a source of material profit to its readers. One was enabled to sell his home at $5,000 profit by application of infor- mation he dug from a treatise on land- scape gardening. Another informed himself on methods of cleaning bullding exteriors, and built a thriving business along lines laid down in print. A third was a heating and ventilat- ing engineer, who delved into periodicals daling with heat radiation, to determine the effect of certain greases on the effi- ciency of steam heating plants, and hopes to apply the knowledge gained thereby in the manufacture of a product w{\lch can be readily applied by house- wives, Still another instance, that of a married couple who spent their evenings pouring over house specifications and suggestions for building, resulted in the saving of an architect's fee when the couple built their home. Then two highway engineers, in quest of information as to the excava- tion of rock suitable for highway con- struction, found what they were look- ing for in the technical department, and returned, shortly later, to con- gratulate the library on its up-to-the- minute material. FOCH IMPROVING, PHYSICIANS REPORT Heart Stronger, Specialists Decide After Two-Hour Con- sultation. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 18.—~Marshal Ferdi- nand Foch was so much better today that his doctors were actually talkative when they left his bedside after a con- sultation of two hours. “His heart is better and stronger,” said Prof. Laubry. “I am satisfied with the improvement in the condition of the kidneys,” said Dr Heitz-Boyer. “And you may say for me that I found the marshal's general condition somewhat better this morning,” ¢himed in Foch's regular physician, Dr. Da- venieres. ‘Together they issued: _ “There is a slight improvement in the condition of the heart and kidneys.” Rumors that the marshal was to un- dergo an operation were denied by M. Laubry. Americans in Paris have been sur- prised at the meager details of the ill- ness in the French newspapers. This was understood to be in deference to the desires of Mme. Foch, who fears the effect that too much publicity might have on the marshal. Paper in Its Third Home. SPRINGFIELD, Ill.

Pleading guilty to a charge of driv- ing a truck containing a load greater than allowed by law over the Calvert Street Bridge, William Derrick, colored, yesterday was fined $25 by Judge Isaac R._Hitt in Traffic Court. Derrick at first declared his employer had ordered him to drive across the bridge and a continuance was granted in order to summons the employer. Later, however, Derrick returned to court and entered a plea of guilty. For colds, grip and flu talf: alotal)s TRADE MARK REG. Relieves the congestion, prevents complications, and hastens recovery.
