THEY HELP
STANDARD
OIL CO..
EIpsrl Makes Charges Against
Biologists In Employ Of
the Government.

New Orleans. Nov 4-In an interview
Professor G. r. $. Caracisti. the pstro-
Ieum expert charges that the United
States Geological Survey is controlled and
dominated by the Standard Oil Company
70 the detriment OF the oil and mineral
interests OF the Southern states. He says:
Every one who knows mo knows that
| am not given 10 idle talk nor do de-
vote myself To antsgonizlng any person
or interest Especially is this so In my
relations and expressions with regard 10
the Standard on Company.
Both In a personal way and I'm my pro-
fessionai life I have been a friend Of the
standard. | thus preface what ! am eo-
ing 20 say because | do not wish 10 be
classed with those cranks who. knowing
nothing aboilt this great institution.
make IL their business 10 asssii IL at ev-
cry turn, generally without tenable
cause or reason.
1T may not be generally known that
the Southern oil field, that of Kentucky,
was the first oil field discovered in North
America.
Have YOU ever thought that the civil
nnpieasantness broke out just after the
discovery Of petroleum i'm the East. and
that by powerful influence over Americas
commence the petroleum trade was zeal
ously kept 10 benefit the East. and every
Time move was made To bring forward
Southern and Southwestern oil the COM
bined forces of the East and Northwest
were brought 10 bear against the invest
ment- OF capital?
Naturally YOU will ask what power
brought about this condition. and in re-
ply | will state that in late years the
Standard oil Company by it's control OF
the United States Geological Survey. has
been able TO suppress the development OF
the Southern oil fields
Before the Southern oil avalanche
startled the world did any one ever hear
OF the possibilities of Southern petroleum
except il was ridicued or ignored by the
United States Geological Survey?
The time has come when every South
ern senator and congressman should ask
what the mineral resources division of
the Geological Survey has actually done
for the South outside OF copying the state
reports and taking the credit. The South
is interested in having it's resources
known. and a smsll-sized kindergarten
should not stand i'm the way.
The division Of mineral resources of
the Geological Survey should be abolished
and be made part OF the United States
Census. which in turn should be made a
permanent bureau, governed by non
partisan commission.
The Southern petroleum industry de-
msnds that the United States reports
should not be dominated by the Standard
oil Company, through IT'S influence with
the Geological Survey. 1 am sounding this
warning. not for my own good. but in the
interest of the great petroleum industry
of the South
"The sooner the Geological Survey is
reorganzed the better for the South"

WAS ACCUSED OF PERJURY
John Cramer Alleged to Have
Made That Statement.
VAS ACCUSED OF PERJURY

Yesterday c. W. Shaver fled a petition
in the district court asking for damages
from John Cramer in the sum Of two
thousand dollars. The charge was SIAN
der. The plaintiff alleges that Mr..
Cramer in the presence of Frank Thomp-
son, Mr.. Melick. Shelby Shaver and Mrs.
W Abbot said that while on the stand in
the case Of the state versus Shelby Sha-
yer. swore to lie. Mr.. Shaver alleges
that Mr.. Cramer said, you swore to a
lie. You swore to a lie" in the presence
of the people mentioned and that his
good name has been damaged in the sum
OF thwo thousand dollars, so he asks this
amount of judgment and also the costs
of the suit.
The suit grew out of case tried in the
city court on August 24th. w. W. Cra-
mer swort out a warrant for the arrest
Of Shelby Shaver, charging him with as
saulting him and also aiming a deadly
weapon at him with intent to murder
him. This happened on August 22nd and
when the case came to trial after hearing
all the evidence Judge Harvey dismissed
the case.
1t was on account Of some testimony
in the case that Mr.. Cramer is alleged to
have accused Mr.. Shaver, in the presence
of others of perjury.
Mr.. Shaver alleges that this accusation
was spread among his neighbors and his
reputation was ruined in this community.

Many people have asked lately why the
fire chief allowed part Of the city liv-
cry stables across from the postoffice

people would ike to see that building

reporter for the Eagle talked with Fire
Chief Walden yesterday about the barn.
When asked why he gave them a permit
TO put in a new front, he said: Il could
not help myself They did not come and
ask me for q permit because 'they did
not haze to have one. Thoy can make a
building smaller and put in a new front
every day and I am helpless but they
must have a permit 70 enlarge the build
