NEW MEMBER OF CABINET
MAKES A FORTUNE IN OIL
Former Governor Shaw Is Large
Owner in the Beaumont
Fields

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. Ex-Governor Les
lie M Shaw, who has been rendered the
appointment of Secretary of the Treas
ury by the President, is another person
of national prominence who has made
big fortune out of the Beaumont OIL dis
coyery. Governor Shaw was one OF the
pioneers in the development of the rice
growing industry in Western louisiana
and Eastern Texas. Through the efortS
of Governor Shaw and associates large
tracts of rice lands around Orange and
Beaumont, Tex were developed by Iowa
colonists and when the oil discovery was
made at Beaumont ten months ago they
quickly profited by the increased value
of their land, which doubled many times
within q few weeks. In addition to this
wealth derived from this rapid increase
in the value Of his lands, Governor Shaw
is interested in several large oil compa-
nieS which are operating extensively In
the Beaumont fields. 1t was stated here
to-day by men who are acquainted with
Governor ShaWs holdings around Beau
mont that the oil discovery has brought
him a fortune of not less than $500,
He had the good fortune to be on the
ground floor so far as owning prospective
oil lands in that district was concerned.
DES MONIES, Dec. Ex-Governor Shaw
tonight received the following message
from President Roosevelt, the first he
has received direct from the President re-
garding his appointment:
To Governor Shaw: I am delighted that
you have consented to accept portfolio of Sec
retary of Treasury. Have written.

RISE IN SUGAR
PINCHES BEARS
"Shorts" Are Treated to
Costly Surprise on
Change.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-American Sugar
Refinery stock turned on the shorts
TODAY and for a while financial fur
flew on the New York Exchange. wan
street has been selling the stock or the
Sugar Refining Company lately with con-
fidence and with break in the price
from above 12O nearly to par. The con-
fdence was born of the admitted enor-
nous oversupply of raw sugars, both
beet and cane, throughout the world, the
announcements of cuts in prices py va
rious retiners and the ease with Whlch
the stock had gone down. Io-day ,il tne
price of the stock opened at 1854, falling
with scarcely any hesitation to 1O38s
when it began to rally -.
The bears kept on braVely selling, 1or
they argued that the buying demand was
probably but a little covering OF con-
tracts by other shorts" who were go
ing to miss the real pie and only get the
crust. But the stock, though 1t dropped
a little every now and then, kept stead
ilv tending upward. Thousands upon
thousands of shares were dealt in and
the bears were plainly getting nervous
The price finally got above 1O9 and there
was a rush Of bears to cover. The
price ran up in few minutes from
lO8% to 1121A, fell to 11112,' then jumped to
1872 closing at 11214, a net advance of
634 points for the day. The sales were
Viii While the price of the stock was jump
ing skIWard there were a lot Of re-
feelings Of tile bears It was said that
things had cleared up in the sugar
trade9 It hat 1.-THE war was over; that
an important conference had been held
CT leading sugar refinery interests at
which a truce had been declared"
Down in the sugar districts when
these reports were investigated, there did
seem to be an improvement in sentiment.
1t was LEARNED 2 that James Fl. Post,
PRESIDENT Of. the National Sugar Refin-
ing Company had had talk with Henry
0. Haverneyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company. This was the
basis for the Wall street report that
there had been a conference at which
1t wass decided that all special discounts
should be withdrawn and that there
should he no further cuts in prices.
Wall street, after the close of the mar
ket and on a comparison of notes, some
how came to the conclusion that James
e. Keene had had something to do with
the run-in of the sugar shorts.

ADOPT A SCHEME
Of ARBITRATION
Pan-American Delegates
Are Unanimous on
the Subject.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. ga substantial
agreement on the subject of arbitration
was practically reached to-day by the
several delegations to the Pan-Americau
conference. Contrary to what had been
anticipated, 1T is almost sure that the
agreement is unanimous including even
Argentina, which country, it was thought.
would refuse to sign any but a compul-
sorry scheme of arbitration. The basis of
agreement is simply the Hague conven-
ton. All the nations represented at tbe
conference at Mexico City will become =
parties to the Hague convention. They
