Thinks Emergency Hospital
Should Be SubjectTO 1t.
GOVERNMENT ITS CHIEF AID
Directors of the Institution Vigorously
Contest the Proposition and Agree
ment Is in the Future.

The future control Of the Emergency
Hospital and Central Dispensary will
probably depend upon the conclusion
reached by the committee appointed by
the board of directors Of the institution
and the Board OF Charities with whom
they arc to confer. II IS the desire Of
Secretary Wilson of the Board of Char
tiles and his associates that the control
OF the institution should be vested in
that board as It is practically support
ed by the Government OF which the
board is the representative. On the
other hand, the valuable property is
owned by tho private corporation and It
has fought every proposition looking to
the curtailment OF its control.
No institution in the District renders
more satisfactory service to the public
than the Emergency Hospital. which.
aside from the Washington Asylum Hos
pital, is the only institution that is al
ways open TO all sorts Of emergency
cases. It's ambulance service is so su-
perior to any other in the city that the
calls made upon Il are limited only by
the boundaries OF tho District. All OF
this IS conceded by the members of the
Board OF Charities, but they believe it
is contrary to public policy practically
20 support an institution in the manage
ment Of which they have no voice.
For some years past an annual appro-
priation OF Si5 900 from the public funds
has been made for the support of the in
stitution. but this year $4,000 additional
is said to be absolutely necessary to
avoid obstruction TO the work Of the hos

The Riot CARTRIDGES.

Hereafter when troops are sent
to quell riots they will carry a spe-
cial cartridge, which the war de-
partment is now ready to furnish.
1t will be just as effective as the
ordinary cartridge, but only at short
range. According to the description
issued by the department, the riot
cartridge is effective at distances up
to 200 yards, and by using it the
soldier gives the fleet footed rioter
a chance to get out of harms way.

THE OIL MARKET.

S.
R. L. Lamberton left the city
this morning for the Folsom oil
fields to look after his interests.
Mr.. Lamberton informed us that
bis No. we'll On the E. A. Talking
ton farm would be drilled in the
last Of this week, barring accidents
No. 3 on the same tract Is holding
up at $50 barrels.
An advance of IS points per ga
lon was made In the quotation for
export oil" last Thursday. The
advance was accompanied by d
three cent raise In the price for
Ohio and Indipna crude. TIE
quotation for "export oil" In New
York Is now S.35 cents per gallon,
thus 1t will be seen that again the
refining interests are reaplng the
profits and this after they have en-
joyed a period Of unprecedented
prosperity. Dan O'Day's bumpers
are the "easy marks" for which the
bunco.steerers set up there
schemes.
The increase In the runs from
wells for March over those OF
February can scarcely be es-
timated as representing the
production of Pennsylvania oil
because the oil at wells In Febru-
airy was backed up In the tanks
owing to cold weather. Kentucky
oil continues to appear In the re
ceipts of Pennsylvania oil. but why
Is noe made clear. Kentucky oil
Is different and inferior grade and
does not command the price OF
Pennsylvania and really has no
more right to be classed with the
high grade product than has Call
fornia oil. The purchase of pro-
perties by the Pure OIL company IS
one of the encouraging features of
the business, as IL brings In the
fed a competitive buyer when
here to.fore the Standard have had
things about their own way. BY
the increase In theamount Of oil ham
died by the Pure Oh Co. the rein
eys connected with It's pipe line must
reap greater profits. The producers
connected with Its line are paid
tle same prices as are Justified IN
the markets OF the world" through
the Sep purchasing agencies.
The Pure Oh company does not
refine Its oil but depends on the In
dependent re6ners connected with
Its pipe lines for Its refined pro
ducts. 1t Is these independent re
fners that are making the greatest
percentage of profits. The Stan
dard fixes profitable quotations for
refined products and keeps crude
prices at a low enough level to In
sure those profitable prices and the
prices are closely followed by the
independents. It would seem that
the present scarcity OF territory, the
great demand for high grade prod
ucs of petrole um and the high prices
which those products command
would justify much better prices
for crude but better prices will be
paid to such an extent only as will
keep the drill at work. So long as
the re6ners are insured supply of
crude producers cannot expect to
participate In the profits to any
great extent.

 The agreement looking to a curtailment of production in this district is still in effect, though the details have not yet been figured out The absence of one of the members of the committee, Mir. W. H. Hassinger of the Republic Iron and Steel Company. from the city, has had some ef- feet toward delaying the operation of the curtailment plan.

rhe Republican Wrangle.


 The members of the State Republican Executive Committee who were addressed in an open letter from the referees of the President yesterday, asking that they clearly define their position on the "color line" question, have not yet formulated their reply. -.
 It is probable that the letter of the referees will be answered next week, but several of the committeeman said today that they had not yet considered the mat ter fully enough to reply today.
 The letter of the three referees has crel ated great deal of talk in Rspublican political circles. .--
 The Lilly Whites'f assert that the ref erees did not have a right to ask the questions contained in the letter, as they had no official position in the party. that they merely represented Roosevelt in advising him about political appointments dispensed by the administration.
 The friends of the referees declare that the advisors of the Chief Executive want to know just what opposition and in what way this opposition to the adminis- tration Is manifested they will have to contend against.
 The referees know that the President is not loved by the Lilly Whites" and they believe that should any candidate for the nomination appear against Roosevelt that the Lily Whites" will do every thing in their power to assist him.
 The Lilly Whites claim that their cause is as strong as ever and as the campaign draws nearer 1t will gain in strength.
 Politicians generally believe that the Lilly Whites are lying low at present in the hope that some strong candidate for the Republican convention will bC forthcoming.
 It is thought by politicians that the referees in their desire to keep up tho fences Roosevelt is building, wish tC get a declaration from the Lily White leaders to use for campaign purposes.
 The situation, to say the least, is in. terestng. In fact, Republican situations in Alabama for the past few months have been interesting.

NINE HUNDRED NEGROES ON
 STRIKE AT MoBzLE.
xxtra Detail of Policemen on Duty, But So Far There Has Been 4 No Disturbances of a.,..4

Advertiser Bureau, MohjIa Ort 2i

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, Oct. 2i.
 As was predicted last night, a general strike of the local iongshore1nen. to the number of soa.. all negroes. took placo ct 2 this morning. All during the day there was hope of reaching an adjustment of the claims set forth in The Advertiser. The charterers and stevedores and the lonsshoremen held several meetings all during the day. but tonight there was no appearance. of an agreement beins reached. The negroes are under the lead ership of RafeS Clemmons, who Is presi- dent of the local. and he has given out the claim tha. his organization can con- trol at least 1,5e0 other negroes. thereby breaking into the loading and discharging of cargoes of vessels now in port and those due here daily. On the other hand, the stevedores are working harmoniously. This morning a number of negroes we're brought here over the Mobile and Ohio and Southern and 1t Is said an ample sup ply is easily available, though some lt- tie delay and expense to the vessels is expected. Just now the Elder pempster Company has three vessels in port taking on cargoes of cotton. lumber. and tim- Der for Havre and Liverpool, but only two are really affected. as one Is being loaded entirely by white men. The Nal lory liner Rio Grande from New York, with about 10000 packages, of merchant disc, arrived up at 2 o'clock this after noon to the Mobile and Ohio upper docks, went to her berth and began unloading Only two negroes could be gotten to work and the steamships crew were given ex- tra pay to work. The Norwegian fruit steamer Bratten arrived up at 8 o'clock and began dischargins her cargo, a mixed crew of whites and blacks having been found. v
 It is not known if the two river steam CTS due tomorrow will be affected, but In the meantime the owners are quietly looking up hands to work. Assurance has been received that tomorrow there will be at least 200 negroes here for work and they will be protected.
 An extra detail of policemen were or- dered on duty tonight on the river front where vessels are being unloaded to pro- tect the men at work. The strikers had 1 spotters, out to keep others from goins i located and warned to keep at a distance from the docks.
 Some of the stevedores seen tonight stated that they apprehended no trouble from the strikers, though precautions were being taken to protect all who went to work.
 Superintendent Alexander of the Mobile ana Meridian division of the Mobile and Ohio arrived here this morning with six ty negroes. and tonight he received an- othfr equally large consignment, all of whom have been put to work on vessels in the slips at the Mobile and Ohio docks. .t ... A mortimer visited Mobile last night and continued all of to-day. At Fort Morgan the wind reached velocity of forty-eight miles. The bay channel tonight was re- ported short of water. and 1t was thought
