DEATH ENDS FIGHT |22 2+ 2527 CHARTS SHOW LOW OF HONEY POWERS Battle for River of Oil Now Is Ended —_— Léndon—On the immaculate, rich- linen cloth of a round-table in a | restaurant near Piccadilly Circus, a ! knife traced a map of a portion of Venezuela. Through center of the map the knife drew a wavering line. Around the table sat the finan clers of Lombard street, the Wall street of London. They were rigid, with eyes welded to that wavering line. The knife continued its course | until the hesitant, uncertained fur- row reached the sea. “Thad" said a voice, “is the River | ot Oil. The speaker was a millionaire | sportsman and promotor, James | White, now dead by his own hand and buried at Wanborough. “This river,” his voice went on,| is an underground rier of oil. It has been there for centuries. Geolo- gists have told me so. It flows on and on and on. It has thousands and millions and billions of gallons of oil. I shall tap that river. I shall bring the oil to the surface. | I shall make—yes, I shall make| millions for each of you.” | Quickly the word spread to the | thousands of men who followed | Jimmy White on his speculations. Money poured in for the venture. Millions of pounds piled up behind him. Some One went turned. “No river of oil there,” he said “There is" Jimmy came back “There I know. Geologists. My reports. I'm never wrong." But there were other “big men" in Lombard street who were finan- cial opponents of Jimmy White. | There began such a manipulation of the London stock 'market as it had not seen since the world war. For four months the group opposed to Jimmy White, led by Sir Edward | Mackey Edgar, worked to bring him down from the heights. Since February the group had been grad- | ually absorbing preference shares | of the British Controlled Oilfields. | Suddenly during the past few | weeks came a great battle of money. | 8ir Edward's group began to sell thousands of shares. Jimmy had to buy them to keecp the market firm. One Saturday Jimmy sent letters | to his friends and also to men who were not within his inner circle promising & spectacular rise in the Preference shares. On the follow-| ing Monday 750,000 shares changed | hands. But the rise was only one| shilling per share, and the bears, | or sellers, worked quietly and un-| dermined Jimmy!s work. In the battle of mone: 000 was used in the shares. At last the sellers had no more | shares to sell. Jimmy had no more money to buy. But the sellers said they had, more shares to sell. Jimnw®, to tired to bluff, admitted he had no more money to buy. | He went quietly off to his coun-! try home near Wanborough. He | scribbled a few notes, appealing to | his wealthy friends for help for his wife, his son, his daughter, now penniless. Then poison took from the | financial world one of its dominant | tigures. On Jimmy White's deck the next Qay was found a letter from af friend, Sir Harry McGowan, offer- ing to lend him $3,750,000. Ha Jimmy held on just another da longer he would have passed th erisis with the assistance. 8o the jury, meeting in Jimmy's ornate dining room at Foxhill, de- cided he committed suicide while insane.
