L. A. Toombs, adjutant general of the Louisiana Na- tional Guard, and the arrival of a de- tachment of cavalry to reinforce two companies of infantry and a machine gun company already stationed at Bastrop, the parish seat, and the vil- lage of Mer Rouge, resulted in an air of exceptancy and reports of impend- ing action by the military to take over the police powers of the parish. Col. Toombs denied that such action had been decided upon. “I am here as the ranking military representative of the governor to take such action under his direction as the situation at any time may warrant,” Col. Toombs said. “As conditions present themselves they will be met adequately.

Testimony was presented to the senate manufactures sub-committee, which is conducting the inquiry, by tour officials of the company, who, replying to questions put by the com- mittee counsel, described in detail operations of the company in the fields of foreign and domestic trade, transportation and finance. Incidentally, the committee got its first direct information ds to salaries paid high officials of ofl companies. The statement as to profits on gas- kinson, a director of the cotrporation, in charge of domestic sales. He es- timated the price spread in gasoline hetween the company's refineries and its filling stagtions in the territory it covers—New York and the New Eng- land States—at 7 cents a gallon. Good Big Profits This spread, he sald, was taken up by a little more than 1% cents a gallon for freight and 4 cents for marketing, the balance répresenting profits, The information as to salaries was brought out by Chairman La Follette, Representatives of companies ap- pearing before the committee pre- viously were asked to submit a list of their higher officials and the sal- aries paid each. When, however, Howard E. Cole, third vice-president of the Stand- ard of New York, took the stand Senator La Follette asked him point- blank what his salary was. Mr. Cole plainly was disconcerted by the ques- tion, but replied in a low volce that his salary for 1922 was $47,500, for 1921 was $42,000, and for 1919 was $35,000. . Big Salaries Paid Mr. Wilkinson, the next witness, also was subjected to inquiry as to his salary. He said he was pald $32,000 last year, $27,500 the preced- ing year and $18,000 in 1920, when he was Boston manager for the Standard of New York. While the Manufacturers’ commit tee was pursuing its inquiry, which is expected to be concluded the last of this month, steps were taken by the senate public lands committee to resume its inquiry into leases of naval oil reserves. Definite plans were let for formulation next week, but mem- bers said that investigation prob- ably would be first made into leases given by the intérior department to the Sinclair interests in the Teapot Dome region of Wyoming, concerning which Secretary Fall desircs to tes- tify before his retirement from office March 4. Total Earnings $253,817,550. Financial operations of the Stan- dard of New York were testified to before the manufacturers’ committee by A. ¥. Hinch, comptrolier of the corporation, who estimated net earn- ings of the company since the su- preme court dissolution decrce at $ ,817,550. Mr. Wilkinson in replying to ques- tions as to domestic business sald the company controlled about half of the retall business in the ferritory which it covered. He declared emphatically that independent dealers were given the same rigits in the purchase of gasoline from his company as dealers having the pumps and tanks #fur- nished by the company. Reductions from 24 to 22 cents a gallon in the price of gasoline in New York city, ordered recently by the Standard of New York, he said, were Kenneth Harlan Marie due to competition by the Guif and Texas companies.
