TRUST GETS OIL
LAND IN SOUTH
Heaviest Producing Gusher
Fields in Texas Fall Into
Standard Company's Hands
speeial plspatch 10 The caII.

GALVESTON, Texas, April 3. = The
Standard Oil Company has at last Sc
cured a foothold in the Louisiana oil
field, and it has been discovered that
over 600 acres in the proven oil fields
in and about Jennings have been leased
to the corporation.
The trust has been trying to get into
this field for two years, but the Louisi-
ana oil producers having suffered by
the Standards operations in the early
history, a Texas gusher field fought
it's attempt to secure foothold in that
State. The leases were secured by the
Houssierrie Latreille Company of
Franklin, one of the latest oil COM
panies in Louisiana leasing its holdings,
which include thirty-two producing
wells. to James Hartley, who is an at
torney for the Texas Oil Company, of
which John W. Gates is president The
Texas Oil Company is recognized as a
branch Of the Standard, operating in
Texas, and suit is now pending against
ii in the courts.
Hartley transferred the leases to the
Texas Company, which openly
acknowledges the transaction. The
Houssierrie Latreille Company says
it was deceived and believed it
was dealing with representative of
the Independent producers of Texas
who are fighting the Standard. 1t is
reported the deal involves fabulous
prices.

WILL Add WING
TO NEW HOTEL
Management of st. Francis
Already Planning Annex
for the Uptown HOstelry

Manager Allan Pollok and the direct
ors of the ST. Francis. Hotel are al
ready planning an annex to that new
hostelry. Although it has not yet been
determined whether the Croeker estate,
which owns the hotel and the frontage
on Powell street adjoining the ST. Fran
els. will build the annex or lease the
ground TO the hotel company for pur-
poses of improvement, it was an
nounced yesterday that another wing
will be added to the new structure,
with the idea of giving the hotel an ad-
ditional capacity of about 250 rooms.
The former site of the Cosmos Club
was purchased by the Crocker estate
shortly after it's plans for the st. Fran
els Hotel had been ordered, the idea
being to add to the hotel at some fu-
ture date. In fact, the hotel was de-
signed so that an annex could be read
lily constructed, but it was not thought
at the time that it would be needed for
many years to come. The success of
the new hotel, however, has impressed
upon the management the immediate
need of more facilities, and no time has
been wasted in giving the matter con-
SideratiOn.
ddHdSSI dul1llllcA ldSl GNcH-
ing that plans were under cOnSiderd-
ton, and he also confirmed a report to
the effect that James Mahoney, the
we'll known builder, will leave for the
East in few days for the purpose of
inspecting some of the modern hotels
now in course of construction and get
ting the latest suggestions in structural
art, with the idea of applying them to
the addition of the st. Francis.
One of the problems now under con-
sideration by the directors of the hotel
company concerns the most advantage
Gus manner in which the space be-
tween the present north wing and the
proposed new one may be used for
driveway to facilitate the reception of
guests The architects have suggested
that the space be converted into a
glass covered court. through which en-
trance to the present hotel and the new
portion can be gained by doorways sit
uated in line with the present corridor
that extends across the building.
The space adjoining, now occupied as
Manager PolIok's private office, will be
reconstructed into shaft for the ac-
commodation of two additional eleva-
tors.
"Of course many details have to be
considered before this annex is under
taken" said Mr.. Pollok last evening,
"and for that reason l would have pre-
ferred that the matter would not be
given any publicity, but you may say
that the annex will be built under some
arrangement"
The construction work will not in
any way interfere with the business of
the hotel. for the wing will be built and
made ready for occupation before it is
connected by corridors with the present
building.
