Their purpose, I am sure, was not to precipitate a battle but to clean up the oil field region.” Armed Resistance, The battle in reality occurred at what is known as Patagonia and af- ter they paraded in Smackover they started to several oil field villages in the Patagonia region and were met with armed resistance.

Y., Nov. 29— Residents of this and near TLong Ts- land towns have well stocked cellars today, federval prohibition officials charge, as the result of the wreck near here of the power yacht Virginia which went on the rocks with a heavy cargo of whiskey aboard. The vessel was stranded early yes- terday, but prohibition officials did not hear of it until today when a dry navy boat was despatched to the scene. Only three cases of whiskey were found aboard. 3 Federal agents charge that resi- dents of nearby towns looted the Virginia of a valuable liquor cargo after her crew had apandoned the vessel, A’ number of pertinent questions dealing with the proposed consolida- tion of railroads are asked by R. W. Poteet, traffic manager of the Stan- ley Works, in a statement to the Herald today. The consolidation project is being considered by the Interstate Commerge Commission un- der instructions contained in the Esch-Cummins act. The tentative plan for consolidation was drafted by Professor Ripley of Harvard univer- sity. Mr. Potoet is particularly interested in the effect of consolidation on New England transportation lines. Among other things he says: “The first thing to be considered should be the question of adequate | transportation. Would consolidation [ result in bettering transportation, and if so to what extent.
