OIL SECURITIES IN HIGH FAVOR.

The past year has placed oil at the head
OF speculative securities in the west and
south, with every indication that 1t Will
remain the leading factor for years 10
come With practically an inexhaustible
supply Of oil in sight, the problem is now
how to handle the new product, which has
revolutionized modern industrial methods.
That this adjustment to new and I'M
proved conditions will come to the ma
terial advancement Of those who have In
vested judiciously in the better Oil Offer
ings, admits Of no doubt.
The Texas Fuel Oil company certainly
offers as good a thing as any company
in the field, and in many respects, it has
no equal. In the first place 1t Is build
ing a pipe line to Port Arthur. which IS
to be owned jointly with several other
prominent companies. This line Is pro-
crossing rapidly and will afford transpor-
-tation facilities by the time the first gush-
er comes in. Their storage tanks are
ready for the roof and every facility Tor
a large shipping business is provided Tor
in advance.
Their first we'll is rapidly nearing the
oil depth and yet you can buy STOCK at
the original price, 25 cents per share; par
value, 800. In other words, we oHer
the same profits on a short time invest
ment that other companies offer on a
longer period. If you appreciate the OPP
portunity, call and learn full particulars.

LET'S HIMSELF BE WORRIED
A Certain Police Officers Friends
Are in Trouble. -:

A certain commissioned" police officer
has occupied an anxious seat all day
to-day, and has been confronted with con-
tradictions which he has steadfastly re-
fused to straighten out. There is a
probability that the facts in the matter
will be aired thoroughly before court con-
venes tomorrow morning, in which event
some more or less sensational revela-
lions will be made. 1t was all caused
by raid upon a resort at Ill Second
avenue S, which was made early this
morning and which resulted in the arrest
Of Harry Monroe and Maud Evans, the
latter an inmate of the house. who are
held under charges Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. It Is charged by
the police that these two persons, in
company with a hickman, were 1nstru-
mental in leading an innocent girl into
the resort and obtaining money from her
by false representation.
Soon after the arrests had been made,
the telephone at headquarters rang and
there was an urgent call for this certain
police officer of high rank. The voice
was feminine, and the person was evil
IDENTIFY very angry. The high officer had
an animated conversation with the fem
mime voice at the other end of the line,
and he explained that while he didn't
know, it was too blamed bad, and he'd do
what he could. 1t appears, however, that
the high officer was unable to do very
much.
This same police officer is the man who
was called upon in court some time ago
to deny an allegation that he had two
places of residence. +EN
