JENNINGS is ALL RIGHT
Haywood Says the Louisiana Field
VIII Develop in Time.


To Times Democrat man Sat
urday, the Jennings Oil man. W.
Scott Haywood said: "The situa-
ton at Jennings is just this: The
we'll of the Haywood Oil Syndi-
cate struck fine flow of Oil at
depth of 10 feet, and we think
this going to be one of the big
gest things that has happened.
1t is the first time there has
been any considerable flow of
oil discovered anywhere near the
surface. 1t looks like a gusher
of the first class. We think this
settles the question of the pro-
ductive capacity Of the Jennings
field. Of course, there is only
one test as to the presence of oil,
and that is the drill has proved
in this instance that there is oil
there, and that it exists in plenty
and we are going after it.
"Just as soon as the produc-
ton Of the Jennings field will
warrant, we will begin the con-
struction of the pipe line to Nor
gan City. We have made all ar.
engagements and will go to work
just as soon as the outputs suffi-
cient to warrant the use of a pipe
line. We are com mitted to the
Jennings field and think it is
just as good as the Beaumont
field and that time will demon
strate the wisdom of our choice.
While we are largely interested
at Beaumont 1t does not in the
least prejudice US against Jen
nings. When all the wells are
put in, that we expect to come in
on the pipe line SERVICE the work
will be pushed forward to an
early completion.
The situation at Jennings is
vastly better than it was. The
wells are now reaching the cap
rock and they are down to the
point where something ought to
happen within the next four
weeks, wnich will define the
field. The rigs are running
night and day. There is nc
abatement Of the investment
there. Money is coming in lIen,
ty. 1t seems as if there is an
unlimited amount of confidence
in the town, and we are of the
opinion that the confidence is not
misplaced We have shown our
faith 10y putting oar money
down We believe tue Louisa III

KENNY IRVING ON THE SHAKES
PEARE-BACON CONTRO-
VERsY.

Now that the Shakespeare Bacon
controversy has been revived, Sir Hen
nv Irving's recent lecture upon the
subject at Princeton has q timely in
terest What the distinguished actor
had to say is especially noteworthy be-
because he approached the subject
from wholly different point of view
from that of the Shakespearean schol-
ars who are not actors. Therefore his
testimony has a valuable cumulative
effect.
The main argument the gr eat actor
adduced in favor of Shakespeare is that
the plays are indisputably the work of a
master of stagecraft. which Shakes
peare was and Bacon was not. No
mere scholar could have written the
plays. To produce such admirable
acting dramas and the learning of
books is vain thing. Many of the
plays, in the stage phrase, play them
selves. They will carry even bad act-
ing. While they read well, as some
good plays do and some do not, Shakes
peare's plays were written with an ex-
pert's knowledge of the actors art and
OF the effect of each play, as whole
and in detail, upon audiences. The
opportunities for business, the eli
makes, the Strengthening of the strong
parts and the making easy of the
smaller parts, thousand things of this
sort IN the plays show unmIstakably
the hand of master stage craftsm an
An essay, the lecturer said, could bt
written on Shakespeare's "exlto'' alone
Sir Henry Irving urged other argu
ments, but unquestionably this is on'
of the strongest that has yet been pu
forward of the arguments founded OF
internal evidence, There is no lack o
external evidence. Without examin
ing the statements of other contempt
raries, the testimony of Ben Jonson
Shakespeare's friend and fellow drama
fist, man of unquestionable integrity
is proof enough that William Shakes
peare and not Francis Bacon wrote tn,
plays that have come down to us al
