great divisions of the producing
region have been reduced al ,6l7
barrels.
The pipe line runs in the East
ern or Pennsylvania oil districts

The runs and shipments of
Pennsylvania oil for May were the
heaviest of the current year, while
there was gain in the net
stocks of over 1900 barrels day.
The runs were the largest OF any
month since last September. In
the Trenton rock oil fields the
runs were also greater than dur
ing any month of the present
year, while the shipments aver
aged lower than for any month
since April, 1902. The result was
a gain in the net stocks Of Buck
eye oil of near $500 barrels day.
The April runs of Pennsylvania
oil were below those Of March,
while the shipments made small
! increase, but the demand contin-
ued about $4,000 barrels day less
than the supply, and a heavy gain
in the stocks was the consequence.
The increase was not as large as
that of March, but serves to mark
the extraordinary change which
has occurred in the condition OF
supply and demand within the
past three months. In the Lima
oil fields, there was a small In
crease in the runs, accompanied
by a decrease in. the shipments,
while the stocks declined at the
rate of 1000 barrels day.
There was an increase OF 22O, 4l9
barrels in the net stocks during
May. Of this amount 1882
barrels was credited to the Penn
sylvania and 77,467 barrels to the
Lima oil regions. The net increase
in the stocks above ground dur
ing April was 337,913 barrels. For
this amount the Pennsylvania dis
tricts alone were responsible.
While the gain in the Eastern
districts was 397, 1898 barrels, the
Buckeye stocks were cut down
about 60,07O barrels, or about q
900 barrels a day. There was a
gain of 395, $40 barrels in the pipe
line stocks during March. The
increase was entirely from the
Pennsylvania sections, which re-
corded a gain of 535,022 barrels,
while the Lima stocks suffered a
drop of 130,206 barrels. The re-
duction in the pipe line stocks
in February was 173,444 barrels,
while the total decline amounted
to 622,321 barrels in January.
At the close of 1902, the stocks
!! of Pennsylvania oil were 5,699, 127
barrels, and the Buckeye stocks
were II, 1906, 426, or total of 49,
iOO5,553 barrels. The Pennsylvania
stocks were reduced 1921, 294 bar
rels and the Buckeye 453,SS0 bar

Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
Of inventions, most people say,
"That must be good engine.
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
Il they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it Is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "stoner," as it
gives them but little work.

HANNA NOT LIGHT
UPON GEN. WOOD
FACTS WERE BROUGHT OUT
THAT SEEMED TO THE LATE SEN
ATOR TO BE DAMAGING.

Executive Session of the Senate
Considered the Appointment of
wood to BE Major GenernI-No De-
Brief of Hanna Shows the Points
of Evidence wherein He Com
sidered Wood Had Acted Repre-
hensibIy. -
Washington, March 9.-The contested
appointment of Gen. Leonard Wood to
be major general of the army was
taken up to-day in executive session of
the Senate and after listening to a
brief prepared by the late Senator
Hanna, summing up the testimony
which had been given in the hearings
before the Committee on Military At
since the hearings closed, the Senate
adjourned. Senator Foraker an
nounced that he would move to take up
the case at every possible opportunity.
Senator Hanna's brief discusses the
evidence brought out at the investiga-
ton before the Committee on Military
Affairs, saying: Some of the testi-
mony given by the witnesses has cast
serious reflection upon the veracity Of
Gen. Wood, and it would appear that
neither he nor the Senate, which is ask
ed to confirm his appointment, should
rest content until he has been given
opportunity to disprove specifically and
under oath, the damaging statements
made on oath concerning his conduct"
Senator Hanna accuses Wood of
having treated Rathbone unjustly, of
having made statements rejecting
upon Gen. Ludlow and of having had
a knowledge of the article criticizing
Gen. Brooke.
OF the Jai Alai concession, Senator
Hanna says: 1T is impossible to
avoid a conclusion that Gen Wood
did grant a concession or franchise,
in the nature of a monopoly and in
violation of the Foraker law, to the
Jai Alai Company"
AS to the Belairs incident, Senator
Hanna says:
ut appears clearly from the evil
dence of Witness Fisher that upon two
different occasions he told Gen. Wood
of the charges made against the char
acter of Bellairs, and that Gen. Wood
asked him to suppress the publication
of the charges"
Senator Hanna accuses Gen. Wood
of INSTRUMENTATION, and quotes in
stances.

GOVERNMENT or LORD BALFOUR

THAT this House, noting the contin-
ued agitation in favor of protective or

to express it's condemnation of any

Mr.. Prizes motion was debated for
three hours, and the arguments COW
cred mainly the previous ground of
fiscal discussion. Premier Balfour adj

memorandum presented to the cabinet,
advocating preferential tariffs and a
tax on food.
Mr.. Prizes motion was finally re-
jected by 2S9 votes to 24S, and loud

opposition cheers greeted the reduction
in the government majority.
AS an offset to the motion made in
the House of Commons by Mr.. Pirie
Premier Balfour put up a Conserva-
tive member to move an amendment
approving the ministerial declarations
of the fiscal policy, as including neither
general system of protection nor
preference based on the taxation Of
food"
The Chamberlainites. to the number
of hundred, held a hurried and in
formal meeting this evening, and as
result they intimated to the gov
eminent that unless the amendment
were withdrawn, they would abstain
from voting on the Prize resolution.
AS this would almost certainly have
led to the defeat of the government,
the amendment was withdrawn.
The incident proves that Premier
Balfour can hold office only by consent
of the pronounced Protectionists.
