Standard Oil Has Made
Some Concessions

Standard Oil company has reduc-
ed the wholesale rate OF refined
oil four cents a gallon in Kansas
and in some towns five cents. In
Missouri, similar reductions have
taken place. This is the first time
a reduction in refined oil has been
approximately proportionate to
the reduction in crude oil. Oil
producers say that the proposed
legislation in Kansas is the cause
of the reduction. Local Standard
Oil officials say the change is due
to the construction of refnerles
in this territory and to the alb
normal output in crude oil. The
remarkable novelty Of the sltua-
ton in this section is that the
Standard officials talk for publlca-
ton to some extent now. John
O'Brien, who is looked upon as
the head man Of the monopoly IN
terests here, has given several IN
terviews regarding proposed Kan
sas laws.

diCtiOnS For February

with squalls of snow and clearing
weather will follow progressively
to the eastward. The next storm
period is central on the 4th, ex-
tending from the 18th to the 10th.
The passage of regular winter
storm conditions, from west to
east in progressive order, may be
counted on at this period. First,
February rains, turning to snow
and sleet squalls, winding up with
rising barometer and cold wave.
The 18th, Goth and 21st will bring
general and very active winter
storms. The first stages OF these
storms will be warm and tropical
rains with lightning and thun-
der, especially on and touching
the 21st. But in quick order look
for changes to colder with biz
zardous visitations from west and
north. Decided cold will spread
eastward behind progressive
storms. The last storm period for
February runs from the 25th into
March. On and touching the 9th
and 2Sth, growing change to fall
ing barometer, warmer and cloud
mess will merge into widespread
rains, fringed on the west and
northwest tangent by snow, high
winds and much colder.

The first regular storm period
for the month is central on the
Ord, covering the LIST to the 9th.
A progressive warm wave with
falling barometer will appear
first; cloudiness with rain turning
to snow will follow. and these at
tended with more or less stormi-
ness, will pass central to eastern
parts of the country from about
the Sd to the 9Th. Meantime a
high barometer with winter winds
and change to much colder will
be rushing on from western and
northern sections in due time, and
regular order to displace the
storm ears and spreading to east
ern extremes. By the 9th and
9th all the foregoing phenomena
of the first storm period will have
nearly or quite disappeared, ex-
cept the cold in eastern States.
Change to warmer and falling ba-
rometer, followed by return OF
cloudiness and rain and snow will
again be advancing from western
parts. On and touching the 9th
and 9th look for rain, with cleo
trical storms probable especially
southwark. AS these conditions

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 3.-Three
bills were introduced in the Sen
ate today aimed at the Standard
Oil company. All have been pre-
pared with the greatest care
One provides against discrimlnna-
ton in the price of refined oil in
one part of the State as against
another and is designed to stop
cut-throat competition.
The second declares that all
pipe lines are common carriers,
and the third fixes maximum rates
for transportation of oil. In the
House a bill was introduced au-
thorizing cities of the first class
to construct oil refneries for fur
nishing fuel for municipal depart
ments.

tween five and six tons of quarter

| Jones yesterday. This is stuff that
has been accumulating since annexa-
ton, old and outworn arms and muni-

superseded by later issues"
Colonel Jones had a conference with
Governor Carter relative to this ship
ment yesterday, and will have a Sec
ond one very soon upon the needs of
the militia at the hands of the legis-
lature. 1T is pretty hard to say"
Colonel Jones said when asked about
the matter yesterday, Just how much
will be needed to keep the guard up
to the proper standard of efficiency.
There is a need of money for target
practice, for one thing. Then, there is
money required for transportation.
That one item covers a multitude of

to and from their camp during the en-
campment season. 1t is true that the
United States government pays the
expenses of going into camp annually,
the law covering period of not more
than fourteen days and not less than
five. We : nerally camp at Kapio-
lani Park. But there is need for some
commissary stores, also.
Altogether, it would be hard to say
just how much it would take, in a
lump sum, to run the guard and. as I
said before, to keep it up to the proper
standard of efficiency. On a rough
estimate-and this it should be under
stood is a very rough estimate in
deed-I should say, approximately,
that the sum required would be $50, 900.

WATKINS IN

The office of the United States Ship

of B. Griggs Holt on the mainland, will
be conducted by Norman Watkins

tilizer Company, who has been APP
pointed clerk to the Commissioner in
place of John Dias, removed from the
position.
The appointment of Mr. Watkins is

ment's plan to clean up the waterfront,
which plan has by no means been
abandoned. In fact, it is proposed by
those in authority. both on the Ter

absolutely assured of fair treatment,
and in which ship captains will be able
to get crews without resort to crimps.
and without the terrible necessity for
shanghaing men who have never smell
ed salt water And that will mean an
end of making up crews as the crew of
the ship Phelps was made up.
However, the departure of B. Griggs
Holt for the mainland on the Korea
today is not a part of the plan. Mr..
Holt had determined to visit the main
land, being called there by business

his affairs were in such condition that
he still felt it necessary to take the

Honolulu, although he may be taken
to the mainland permanently later by

continue to conduct the office of Ship
